In the market for a soundbar? These are the best we’ve tested in 2026, including a model that delivers ‘phenomenal rumbling bass’ | Daily Reports Online
We’re halfway though 2026, and this year has already delivered some of the best soundbars we’ve seen — or rather, heard. The standout amongst the models we’ve tested is the “phenomenal” Samsung HW-Q990H — one of a select group of 5-star products, thanks to its “powerful, engaging and detailed sound profile”, straightforward setup and strong connectivity options. Another winner was the LG Sound Suite Immersive Suite 7 Pro. If you’re yearning for some “phenomenal rumbling bass”, this is the soundbar for you.
Those are both premium picks, but we also reviewed a couple of brilliant budget options. The Klipsch Flexus Core 100 comes in at a fraction of the price of that Samsung model, and while its soundscape is understandably less expansive, it still impressed us by delivering clear dialogue, strong bass, and a useful, responsive display.
