Samsung HW-B750F vs Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 5

The Samsung HW-B750F and the Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 5 are both straightforward soundbar-and-subwoofer setups, but they have different strengths. The Samsung's side-firing drivers mean it delivers a more immersive sense of space, and can reproduce 5.1 audio without downmixing it to stereo, unlike the Sony. The Samsung also offers slightly deeper, better-controlled bass and comes with more sound customization options, including bass and treble controls, sound modes, and a 7-band EQ. It also has an HDMI In port, though its video passthrough and audio format support are limited compared to more premium bars. The Sony's main advantage lies in its broad format compatibility via ARC. The Sony supports Dolby Digital and Dolby Atmos, along with DTS and DTS:X, while the Samsung only supports Dolby Digital and DTS playback via eARC.
