How to pick between these
- If you want the most bass for the money → the TCL S55H or S60K, both with a wireless subwoofer. Choose the S60K for its center channel.
- If you have no floor space for a subwoofer → the Denon DHT-S218, which builds two subwoofers into the bar.
- If you want Dolby Atmos → the TCL S55H, TCL S60K or Denon DHT-S218. Samsung, Polk and Bose don't list Atmos on their picks here.
- If your TV is small → the Bose TV Speaker (2nd Gen) at 23.5 in.
- If you want Wi-Fi music streaming under $300 → none of these list it. The Sonos Ray and Samsung HW-S60D do and were also under $300; see Soundbars with Wi-Fi music streaming.
Want rear speakers too? Two full surround systems were under $300 when we checked: the LG S40TR and the TCL S65K. They are on our surround list.
Didn't find a fit?
See every soundbar under $300, or soundbars with a subwoofer under $300. Raise the ceiling to $500 for more Wi-Fi and Atmos models. The soundbar buying guide explains why we budget by the maker's store price.
How these were chosen
13 of the 40 soundbars we catalogued (as of October 19, 2026) were under $300 on their maker's own store: 5 soundbars only, 6 with a subwoofer and 2 full surround systems. 7 of the 13 list Dolby Atmos and 2 list Wi-Fi. We use the price the maker's store charged, not the crossed-out list price; on 16 of the 40 soundbars the store price was lower. We picked six with and without a subwoofer; the others, including the Sonos Ray, Samsung HW-S60D, LG S60T and S70TY, are in the finder.
