Top-Rated Wireless Soundbars Compatible with Smart TVs

Every modern soundbar is "wireless" in the ways that matter — a single HDMI eARC cable to the TV, plus Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and streaming built in, and a wireless subwoofer and rear speakers. The clever part is how well a soundbar pairs with your smart TV's own features. Here are the top wireless soundbars for smart TVs, from our soundbar range.

Best with a Samsung TV: Samsung Q-series

Pair a Samsung HW-Q990F (R17,588) with a Samsung TV and Q-Symphony lets the TV's own speakers play alongside the bar for a bigger soundstage. It also connects to the TV wirelessly on supported models, cutting even the HDMI cable. A superb all-rounder with 11.1.4 channels and rear speakers.

Best with an LG TV: LG S95TR

The LG S95TR (9.1.5 ch, R15,196) is built to partner LG TVs — WOW Orchestra combines the TV and soundbar speakers, and WOW Cast sends audio wirelessly. With wireless Dolby Atmos and rear speakers, it's one of the most immersive bars here.

Best with a Sony BRAVIA: Sony HT & Theatre systems

Sony's HT-A3000 (R10,396) and the premium BRAVIA Theatre Quad (R42,336) use Acoustic Center Sync with a Sony BRAVIA TV, turning the TV into the centre channel for seamless, locked-in dialogue. Browse the full Sony range for matching kit.

Don't have a matching-brand TV?

It doesn't matter much. Any of these connects to any smart TV over HDMI eARC and streams over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay or Chromecast — the brand-matching tricks above are a bonus, not a requirement. JBL's Bar 1000 Pro (R14,956), for instance, works brilliantly with any TV and adds AirPlay and Chromecast.
