Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a soundbar and I’d like to ask for your recommendation for a somewhat unusual case.
I can only hear with one ear, so I have no spatial perception (left/right). For example, in daily life I can’t tell where a sound is coming from, and with TV or movies it’s the same: I always set my PC and TV to mono so I don’t lose any audio information.
What I’m looking for:
In the past I had a Samsung soundbar with a subwoofer (HW-K450) and I didn’t like the subwoofer. I also tried “voice enhancement” modes, but they sounded too artificial to me.
Do you have any concrete recommendations for a soundbar that could work well in this situation?
I also wondered if a flat studio monitor speaker could be a good idea, instead of a soundbar.
Do you think it’s better to get a simple bar with a good center channel, or something focused more on overall fidelity (voice + music) than surround effects?
And out of curiosity, do they even sell “half soundbars”? XD
Thanks in advance!

What I’m looking for:
- A compact soundbar, without an external subwoofer (it’s a small apartment and I don’t want booming bass).
- Preferably with HDMI ARC/eARC, so I can easily control it with my Samsung TV.
- Budget: around 150 € (though I can stretch it a bit if it’s really worth it, or go cheaper if not).
- It should offer clear dialogue, but without sacrificing music quality, since I also want to enjoy music with a balanced sound.
