Beiled Bluetooth Soundbar with Lights vs RUIMATECH Desktop Soundbar

Buy the RUIMATECH for a desk or PC setup: six drivers, a passive radiator and Bluetooth 5.3 give it fuller stereo and a more stable link. Buy the Beiled for a TV or portable use: it runs on a 2000mAh battery, has a 3.5mm input, USB and TF playback, and adds RGB light modes. The Beiled claims 20W and Dolby Atmos/DTS, but a 14.65-inch bar with 52mm drivers and an 80-1600Hz range cannot produce real height channels or deep bass, so treat those claims as marketing. The RUIMATECH is rated at only 6W and its 20kHz figure is a frequency limit, not output. Both are budget bars with few ratings; the Beiled's 4.6 comes from just 10 reviews.

• Choose the Beiled if you want a battery-powered bar you can move between TV, laptop and phone, with wired, USB and TF playback plus light effects.
• Choose the RUIMATECH if it will sit under a monitor and you want the fuller driver array and newer Bluetooth for games, music and video.
