Best soundbars for gaming
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 2, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: Samsung HW-Q990F — a full 11.1.4 Atmos system with rear speakers and sub, and its HDMI 2.1 inputs pass 4K/120Hz through, so a PS5 or Series X keeps its frame rate and VRR while the bar handles the sound. The most complete gaming-and-movie setup here.
Who the others suit:
- LG S95TR — same 4K/120 passthrough idea, a bit less enveloping; good if you want a big Atmos bar for less.
- Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 — best if you own a Sony TV and want the sound to work with its picture modes.
- Asus ROG Gjallar — built for desk and PC gaming rather than a living-room TV.
- Sonos Arc Ultra — superb for film and music, but it has no HDMI 2.1 passthrough, so plug consoles into the TV instead.
- Samsung HW-Q600F / TCL S55H — budget picks; fine sound, no 4K/120 passthrough.
