Our Verdict

Sonos Playbar

Harman/Kardon Enchant 1300

The Harman/Kardon Enchant 1300 is a slightly better soundbar overall than the Sonos Playbar. The Harman/Kardon offers a better surround performance, and it has EQ presets for sound customization. It also has three Full HDMI In ports and supports more wireless playback options. You can also use it for high-quality passthrough.
