The new Harman Kardon Enchant 1100 soundbar stands out for including DTS:X and enhanced connectivity options.

Harman Kardon's Enchant 1100 soundbar offers features missing from competitors

Harman Kardon showcased the Enchant 1100 at Audio Advice Live 2025 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Priced at $999, this Dolby Atmos soundbar features 11 drivers and supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio formats. Unlike competitors like the Sonos Arc Ultra, the Enchant 1100 offers HDMI pass-through input with Dolby Vision support and an optical digital input. Users can also expand their sound system with a wireless subwoofer and surround speakers. The entire Enchant line is set to launch in October 2025, with the smaller Enchant 900 also being introduced at a price of $549.

Harman Kardon's Enchant 1100 is a strong contender in the premium soundbar market. It strategically addresses common criticisms of competitors like the Sonos Arc Ultra, notably by adding DTS:X support and enhanced connectivity options. These features cater to the growing demand for immersive audio experiences in home theaters. While the Sonos brand is well-established, Harman Kardon’s entry may attract consumers who seek better technical support and functionality. As the market sees fierce competition, buyers will likely weigh performance, versatility, and price before making their choices.
