Sonos Ray $280 $199 at Amazon (save $81)
The Ray is Sonos' only non-Atmos soundbar. Instead, it focuses on delivering crisp stereo audio in a compact shell, opting to ditch HDMI eARC for optical in the process. It's a simple, yet efficient soundbar, and ideal for someone who just wants hassle-free improved TV sound.

Sony HT-A3000 $699 $480 at Best Buy (save $219)
The petite Dolby Atmos-capable HT-A3000 scored a commendable four stars when it passed through our test room. While we think the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) might just have the edge on it, it serves up plenty of detail and has a great tonal balance that makes it a solid choice if you're looking for Atmos under $500.
