Ccdes Sound Bar for TV vs Dell AC511M Stereo Soundbar

The Dell AC511M is the safer pick for a desk or monitor setup. It is a 2.0-channel bar that mounts on a Dell monitor stand, draws power over USB and adds a headphone jack. The Ccdes bar is a generic 23-inch TV bar with Bluetooth 5.0, RCA, USB and a 3.5mm input, but its 3.2-out-of-5 rating from 113 ratings is weak and owners report thin sound and short lifespan. The Dell is better built and better reviewed; the Ccdes offers more inputs and a remote.

• Choose the Ccdes sound bar if you want a cheap TV bar with Bluetooth, RCA, USB playback and a remote, and you accept modest sound and build.
• Choose the Dell AC511M if you want a compact, well-built monitor soundbar that mounts on a Dell stand and runs off USB.
