Score: 80/100Rankings
The Sony BRAVIA Theater System 6 delivers a true 5.1 surround experience with a powerful subwoofer and wireless rear speakers, integrating tightly with Bravia TVs, but it lacks true height channels and modern wireless streaming features.
The Bose Smart Soundbar 600 bundle offers compact Dolby Atmos and clear dialogue, but its bass is thin and connectivity options are limited.
