Memorex MX-SB270 Soundbar vs Dell AC511M Stereo Soundbar

Buy the Memorex MX-SB270 for a TV in a living room or bedroom. It is a 27.5-inch, 24W 2.0 bar with HDMI ARC, optical, aux and Bluetooth, plus a remote, wall mount and five EQ presets. The Dell AC511M is a 16-inch, 2.5W USB-powered bar that clips to a Dell monitor stand and is built for desk use, not TV sound. Owners of the Memorex describe basic but usable TV audio; the Dell is widely liked as a cheap way to add sound to a monitor, but it is quiet and has no HDMI.

• Choose the Memorex MX-SB270 if you want one bar under a TV with HDMI ARC, optical input, a remote and enough power for a room.
• Choose the Dell AC511M if you want a small USB-powered bar that mounts on a Dell monitor stand and clears desk clutter.
