Decide what you want in the box first: a soundbar alone, a soundbar with a subwoofer for deeper bass, or a full surround system with rear speakers. Then set the most you want to spend on the maker's own store. After that, look for Dolby Atmos if you watch movies mixed for it, HDMI eARC if your TV has that port, and Wi-Fi if the soundbar will also be your music speaker. Ignore wattage.
Each list states its selection criteria, and every pick is checked against its maker's page.
