Earlier this year the Sony HT-CT260 sound bar was highly acclaimed by CNet, Consumer Reports, PC Magazine, The Wirecutter, and everyone else. Sony didn’t rest on this and updated it with a HDMI input and output while keeping the price at the $250 level. If you want a high quality, high value way to get audio from your TV, smartphone, laptop or any other device the Sony HT-CT260H does it better than anything else I’ve heard for the price.
