onn 20 in Bluetooth Soundbar vs Cowin 17-Inch Bluetooth Soundbar

The onn 20 in is the safer pick for most shoppers. It has a much larger owner base, a 4.4 rating from nearly 9,000 ratings against 3.8 from 264, and more inputs: optical, USB, HDMI, AUX and 3.5 mm. The Cowin is shorter at 17 inches and simpler, with Bluetooth, HDMI and AUX only. Neither is a true surround system; the onn lists Dolby formats but its 1-inch drivers and 30 W RMS keep it a small-room bar. Buy the onn for input variety and lighting, the Cowin only if the narrower width fits your shelf.

• Choose the onn 20 in if you want the most inputs, a built-in subwoofer and LED lighting in a compact bar.
• Choose the Cowin 17-Inch if you need a narrower bar and only plan to use Bluetooth, HDMI or AUX.
