Best Speakers for Apple TV 4K in 2022
So you have an Apple TV 4K that’s equipped with Dolby Atmos, but your current speaker system isn’t up to snuff for that high-quality audio? Don’t worry, there are some great speaker options out there for the Apple TV 4K, and we’ve rounded them all up here for you!
AirPlay 2 and more
The Sonos Beam is an excellent compact soundbar that will work with your Apple TV 4K wirelessly through AirPlay 2. If you prefer wires, you’ll need to plug your ATV4K into your TV via HDMI, then plug in the Sonos Beam to your TV’s HDMI-ARC port. The Beam features rich, high-quality sound and will fill the entire room, despite its small size.
Bigger size, bigger sound
If you’re not convinced about the Sonos Beam but still want a Sonos product, go with the Playbar. The larger size of the Playbar means even bigger sound quality, and though the size is bigger, you can mount the Playbar in either horizontal or vertical position on the wall for convenience. It is also better geared for larger rooms.

Onkyo SKH-410 Dolby Atmos-Enabled Speaker System Set of 2
Easy upgrade
If you have an existing speaker system for your home theater already, then this Dolby Atmos speaker system set is an excellent addition.

Theater quality
There are a lot of great speaker options out there that can help you unlock the incredible Dolby Atmos audio quality that your Apple TV 4K is capable of. However, our favorite is the Sonos Beam (opens in new tab), because it’s small and compact but packs enough audio drivers in it to fill up small to medium-sized rooms with incredibly rich sound.
Already have an Atmos capable receiver and are looking for a speaker upgrade? Then the Atmos-enabled Onkyo SKH-410 Speaker Set (opens in new tab) are definitely worth a look. This affordable pair is incredibly small, yet powerful enough for Atmos Height Effects when mounted on a wall, or as a set of surround speakers.
