SeekerSonos Arc
The Sonos Arc is good for mixed usage. It's a really premium standalone bar that's suitable for everything from music to movies to TV shows. Right out of the box, dialogue is clear and accurate, and instruments are reproduced with fidelity. It supports lots of different audio formats, too, including Dolby Digital and Dolby Atmos. You can always add on a sub and satellites to improve its performance down the line, too.

The Sonos Arc is an impressive and premium Dolby Atmos experience even without a subwoofer or extra speakers. New soundbars offer even better positional sound effects, but when it comes to dynamic audio that's perfectly clear from a single-box package, it's as good as you can get for the price. And, being Sonos, it's excellent with music as well as movies.

The Sonos Arc is easily one of the best soundbars money can buy with amazingly immersive sound and smart features. It’s only hampered by HDMI issues.

The Sonos Roam SL has the same design and sound architecture as the Sonos Roam, but it doesn't offer a microphone and so misses out on a couple of features.
