Stiftung WarentestSoundbars im Test - Lautsprecher für einen starken TV-SoundReleaseAugust 2023

Our soundbar test shows that expensive does not mean good. Some high-priced models do not sound convincing or have weaknesses in handling. It's worth comparing: good soundbars can be found for less than 300 euros. New in our database in July 2023: 15 soundbars with prices between 65 and 1,500 euros.
