How to choose a soundbar
Aside from making sure it’s small enough to fit into the space you have available, the most important advice we’d give to someone looking to spruce up their entertainment setup with a soundbar is to opt for one with an HDMI input. This is because the all-too-common interface supports more audio formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, than its optical counterpart.

HDMI |
| Stereo | Stereo |
| Dolby Digital |

| DTS | DTS |

| Dolby Digital Plus | |
| Dolby Atmos | |
| Dolby True HD |
We would also recommend opting for one that comes with a subwoofer in the box if you don’t already have one. Why? Because this will add a touch of kick, punch, and thud to your viewing experience — making it all the more immersive. Pair this with the aforementioned audio formats and your shiny new supersized 4K TV, and it will feel like you’re actually a part of the action.
