Compared with other brands, Harman Kardon only makes mid-to-high-end sound bars. The price of the entry model SB20 is as high as 4699 yuan, which is equivalent to the price of other brands of mid-range and even high-end models, and there are obvious deficiencies in interface and decoding technology, on the contrary, the flagship model SB35 is fully functional, slim in appearance, and the price is 9999 yuan, which is more cost-effective in comparison.

In terms of decoding technology,Dolby Atmos、DTS:XStelluard,The interface is also relatively complete,HDMI interface with support ARC function is in line with the flagship level,The only drawback is that it does not support4K HDR。
 
The SB26 is also slimmer, but not as extreme as the SB35, and the larger volume of the speaker allows the SB26 to accommodate a larger driver, so it is not inferior to the SB35 in terms of sound quality. In terms of interfacesSB26 is also relatively complete, but the HDMI interface is reduced to two, but there is also one that supports ARC function. The difference with SB35 is that SB26 does not support DTS format decoding, so it cannot watch movies with DTS audio tracks normally.
 
The entry-level SB20 only supports 2.1 channels, does not support Dolby and DTS sound, reduces the optical interface and only one HDMI interface remains, although it supports ARC, but greatly limits its compatibility. In addition, SB20The high, medium and low woofer is also smaller than SB26, the sound quality is slightly worse, and the price is 4699 yuan, which is not cost-effective.
