Vizio V20x-J8
Score: 69/100
Samsung HW-B400F
Score: 57/100Rankings
The VIZIO V-Series V20x-J8 is a 24-inch 2.0-channel sound bar offering Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X virtual surround. Its small footprint and included remote come at the expense of bass depth and the absence of Dolby Atmos or voice-assistant integration. Ideal for budget-focused users with modest TV sizes.
The Samsung HW-B400F is a compact 2.0-channel soundbar with a built-in woofer that delivers solid bass for small spaces. It lacks a wireless subwoofer and advanced formats like Dolby Atmos, limiting immersive surround capabilities. Ideal for users seeking a simple, low-power sound solution for bedrooms or home offices.
