What's your pick for the best mid-range soundbar of 2025?

Hey everyone,
I'm in the market for a new soundbar and I’m trying to figure out what might end up being the best mid-range model this year.

Based on what we’ve seen so far — which models do you think will take the crown for the best value in the mid-range segment?

I don’t know what your criteria are for mid-range but I’ve had a positive experience with the Sonos Arc Ultra which is larger than the Beam 2 which I also have enjoyed.

This feels like AI lol.
While I would never buy one, I’ve heard Klipsch and Yamaha make solid ones. I’ve heard that about Bose too, but I’ve never met a product of theirs that I liked. Well maybe the noise cancelling headphones…..

Do not buy them.

As you are finding out, soundbars are not popular among our forum members, and with good reason. If course we are all familiar with them, as we have heard them in other people's houses. I would say universally we a glad we don't have one.
If it is good sound you are after rather then convenience, then consider something better.

If you have a chance, maybe you could check out the new KEF soundbar. I don't think I would consider it 'mid-range, though- it retails for $2499.99 and I have been told that it sounds really good.
