Vizio SB3620n-H6
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Bose TV Speaker is a compact 3-channel soundbar with a dedicated tweeter and dialogue mode, offering simple HDMI ARC or optical setup and Bluetooth 4.2 streaming. It lacks built-in bass, Wi-Fi, and Dolby Atmos, which may disappoint users seeking immersive sound. Perfect for small rooms or budget-conscious viewers needing clear dialogue.
The VIZIO SB3620n-H6 offers 2-channel sound with 180 W output, clear audio and app-based EQ in a water-resistant design. It lacks a dedicated subwoofer and its maximum volume is modest, limiting performance in larger spaces. Best suited for budget-conscious users with small to medium rooms.
