Soundbars with Wi-Fi music streaming (2026)
For people who want the soundbar to double as the living-room music speaker: every soundbar here lists Wi-Fi or a Wi-Fi streaming service (Apple AirPlay, Chromecast or the maker's app) on its maker's page, so music plays from apps instead of only over Bluetooth from your phone. Ordered by the price on the maker's own store, lowest first. Specs checked October 19, 2026.

How to pick between these
- If you use Apple devices → any of these except the Polk Signa S3, which is built around Chromecast. Sonos, Polk (MagniFi Mini AX), Denon, Samsung and Bose list AirPlay.
- If you use Google Home or Chromecast → the Polk Signa S3 or MagniFi Mini AX; Bose lists Google Cast on the Lifestyle Ultra.
- If you want Dolby Atmos too → the MagniFi Mini AX, Denon Home Sound Bar 550, Samsung HW-QS90H or Bose Lifestyle Ultra.
- If your TV has no HDMI ARC port → the Sonos Ray, which connects by optical.
- If you want one bar and no subwoofer box → the Samsung HW-QS90H or Bose Lifestyle Ultra, both with height channels in the bar.
Wi-Fi streaming is not the same as Bluetooth: apps, AirPlay or Chromecast send music to the bar over your home network, instead of over a Bluetooth link to one phone nearby.

How these were chosen
23 of the 40 soundbars we catalogued (as of October 19, 2026) list Wi-Fi or a Wi-Fi streaming service; 5 say they have no Wi-Fi and 12 don't say. Only 2 of the Wi-Fi models were under $300 on their maker's store. We picked six across price levels and brands; the other Wi-Fi models, including the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) and Samsung HW-S60D, are in the finder. We use the price the maker's store charged when we checked and don't show prices because they change.
