Best wireless surround sound speakers with Dolby Atmos

Top pick: Samsung HW-Q990F — a full 11.1.4 Atmos system in one box: soundbar, true wireless rear speakers and a wireless subwoofer. It's the least fuss for real height effects and rear-channel immersion, and it's the most widely reviewed of the bunch.

Who the others suit:

• Polk MagniFi Max AX SR — if you want a warmer, more musical sound and a simpler two-rear-speaker setup.
• Nakamichi Dragon — the biggest, most cinematic bass and scale; best in a dedicated room.
• Sony Bravia Theatre Quad — if you'd rather have four separate wireless speakers than a bar, and you're pairing with a Sony TV.
• Sonos Arc Ultra / Sonos set — best for a Sonos household and app-based control; the bar alone has no rear speakers.
• Denon Home Sound Bar 550 bundle — a tidy mid-size room setup with HEOS multiroom.
• onn. 5.1.2 and ULTIMEA Poseidon M4T — budget entry into true wireless surrounds with Atmos.
• ULTIMEA Skywave X100 Dual — a 9.2.6 channel monster if you want maximum channels.

Skip the VIZIO 4.1 and Hisense R652 here: no wireless surrounds, and the Hisense has no Atmos.
