If music is a priority, you should check out Sennheiser's Amber line of soundbars before you make a final decision. Sennheiser is a true high end pro audio brand and their soundbars sound pretty stunning, I have the Ambeo Plus myself
Hell yeah! I am looking at getting those headphones too. The Ambeo Plus is great for movies too, particularly when you add the sub. I love this soundbar so much, I am taking it with me when I move overseas.
I have the Senn Plus + Senn sub. They are excellent together. The sound in our room for music and movies is crystal clear and balanced. You can even enhance dialogue from their smart control app as well. Their Smart Control app is very easy to use to minimize or boost the ambeo effect and select among different sound profiles (it's cool looking too unlike the Sonos app). I've had mine for one year and have had zero issues with overheating or HDMI/cec issues. My ambeo system is also a part of my Google home system as I have a variety of different brands all connected for all home audio across my whole house. Spotify connect works great as well with the Ambeo.
I strictly avoided Sonos due to them making you use only their speakers for whole home audio plus they had BIG app issues all last year and earlier this year as well. They have also made older speakers of theirs obsolete forcing you to upgrade, lame.
If you have the Best Buy tech membership, they let you return whatever you buy within 60 days if you don't like it.
Good luck with the decision!
I dont know it’s the best, but I just picked up a Sennheiser Ambeo Plus and the Ambeo subwoofer to pair with my LG 77C5 OLED. It is pretty awesome with a built in room calibration and the sub is wireless (except for power). HDMI eARC . It features AirPlay and Tidal connect if not directly wired to a streaming device, but the LG has numerous apps that work well with this setup (Spotify, Sirius XM, Apple Music, etc). Worth a look.
Sonos stuff is great. When I lived in apartments I had the Arc/Arc Ultra and Era 300 and Sub mini in my living room and Beam Gen 2 in my bedroom. Once we got our house though I had to have real surround so I got some Klipsch towers with upfiring Dolby Atmos, center channel and surrounds. I’m going to add rear heights next all paired to a bad ass Onkyo receiver. I love Sonos for small spaces though. I’m going to pick up a set of Era 300s and a sub mini for my bedroom. Right now I have a Sennheiser AMBEO plus in there and my Beam is in the office. Sorry for the word vomit, autistic and you struck a hyper fixation 😂😂
I also got the Mini and the Plus if you don't need or want rear speaker there is nothing that comes close and i testet teufel/samsung/jbl/lg if you have rears Sure thats better but the ambeo comes realy close and soundwise its the best if they had rears it would easy one of the best, so if you not plan with rears there is nothing better you can buy
Its simple something like the sonos with rears gives you more of a bubble but without you can't go wrong with sennheiser nothing beat it in just bar+sub alone maybe you can add a better sub but then its wired
its overall better then 990f from samsung or 1300 mk2 from jbl in my opinion its the best you can buy without rears maybe kef xio is an alternative but its more expensive i´m super happy with it in my bedroom the only reason i have another soundbar in my living room is the lack of rears, you can´t replace pysical rearspeaker soundwise sennheiser is the best i have testet

Value for movies and easy setup, but music falls flat.
