Polk Audio Command Bar: Best value
The Polk Audio Command Bar is another option, with plenty of connectivity options and an easy setup for just under $250.
This super-smart soundbar comes with Alexa built-in directly, which means you can ask it questions, help it read the news, control your smart home devices, pretty much anything Amazon Echo can do. Along with integrating into the Amazon ecosystem, Polk Audio Command Bar is designed to work with Amazon Fire TV devices, with a dedicated HDMI input for your TV streaming device. Other inputs include a SPDIDF, a TOSLINK optical input, and a micro-USB port.
The Command Bar has one of the best physical remotes, with separate volume, subwoofer, and dialogue controls, so you can fine-tune the sound depending on what you're listening to. Dialogue is particularly good, although serious audiophiles may find the bass a bit lacking. At this price, you’ll struggle to find any serious issues with this clever soundbar.
