Affordable Dolby Atmos Soundbars: Sharp HT-SB700 Alternatives
The Sharp HT-SB700 Dolby Atmos soundbar, currently available at Curry's for £119 (a saving of £80), offers a budget-friendly option for enhancing your home cinema experience. But if you're looking for alternatives, here are some top recommendations in the $200-$300 range.
Sony HT-S2000
This 2.1 channel soundbar with a standout affordable Dolby Atmos support delivers solid performance, making it a recommended choice for budget Atmos setups.
Polk Audio Signa S2
With a wireless subwoofer and 4K HDMI ARC, the Polk Audio Signa S2 provides powerful bass and great value for the price, although it lacks Dolby Atmos.
Sonos Beam Gen 2
The Sonos Beam Gen 2 offers a premium small soundbar with immersive Atmos, room correction, and streaming capabilities, although it may be pricier for a strict budget.
Samsung HW-B650
This soundbar offers balanced sound quality, good dialogue clarity, and Dolby Atmos support, making it a solid option near the $300 price range.
Vizio V Series 521H
Although it doesn't officially support Dolby Atmos, the Vizio V Series 521H offers great bass impact with a wireless sub and is a good budget alternative.
Yamaha SRB-20A
With clear voice features and punchy built-in bass, the Yamaha SRB-20A offers excellent dialogue clarity and sound for a tight budget, although it lacks separate subwoofer and Atmos support.
For true Dolby Atmos in a budget range similar to the Sharp HT-SB700, the Sony HT-S2000 and Samsung HW-B650 are among the best affordable picks supporting Atmos content. If prioritising dialogue clarity and overall sound quality over Atmos channels, the Polk Audio Signa S2 offers excellent value but does not have Atmos support. The Sonos Beam Gen 2 is more premium and compact with Atmos but may exceed a strict budget constraint. Pure budget alternatives without Atmos (Vizio, Yamaha) are available for those with lower budgets, focusing on wireless subs and dialogue clarity instead.
The Sharp HT-SB700 soundbar, despite being a budget option, does not disgrace itself in terms of Dolby Atmos delivery. It offers a decent level of detail, a mostly full-bodied and rich midrange, and provides an impressive sense of scale considering its size. The soundbar features a 2.0.2 speaker layout with two forward-facing drivers and two up-firers, and connectivity options such as HDMI eARC socket, optical input, and Bluetooth streaming. The dimensions of the soundbar are 7.2 x 52 x 11cm (hwd), making it reasonably flexible in terms of positioning. The Sharp HT-SB700 soundbar is also available for purchase at Amazon, and there are more home cinema deals available on Amazon during Prime Day.
