Look Into awards

LookInto Winner in Best soundbars

The best-documented cheap bar here. Sony UK's specification page lists 30W in use, 0.5W standby and 2.0W networked standby. That is 0.79p an hour and £11.53 a year at four hours a day. It is a two-channel bar that connects to the TV with one HDMI cable and also takes Bluetooth.

The catch: there is no separate subwoofer, so do not expect deep bass. Sony lists off mode as not available, so the socket switch is the only way to zero the draw.

Look Into researches products from published sources: makers’ pages, retailer listings and regulators. We have not handled or tested these products, and a blank field means we have not recorded that figure yet, not that the product lacks the feature. Awards are Look Into editorial picks, not Amazon or third-party awards. As an Amazon Associate, Look Into earns from qualifying purchases; commission never decides a ranking.
