It supports Dolby Audio, DTS X and MPEG H audio. It can detect the acoustics and create an immersive soundscape.
The Ambeo Soundbar features six long-throw, 4" woofers as well as two 1" tweeters. Because of its unique shape, it can project ambient noises throughout a room. It is not recommended to use in rooms with high ceilings. Also, the speaker must have a flat surface for proper mapping.

Bose Smart Soundbar 900
Bose Smart Soundbar 900 has high-end sound but isn't able to deliver a high-end home theater experience. This model has nine speakers, Bose's PhaseGuide technology and is more directional. If you are more concerned about entertainment than quality, you have other options.
The Bose Smart Soundbar 900's treble is free and uncluttered, making it a great choice for home entertainment. The stereo THD performance is great, but there is a small increase when the volume is increased to maximum. The soundbar also produces good stereo imaging and solid two-channel delivery. The soundbar has a dedicated central speaker that can be used to provide clear dialogue.

The LG GX soundbar is the best choice for multi-dimensional sound. The 3.1-channel high-res soundbar is flush mounted to your OLED TV. It's as thin as your screen. It features Dolby Atmos and DTS:X technology for multidimensional sound.
The LG Sound Bar GX can be quite costly and comes with a subwoofer and two HDMIs. Dolby Vision passthrough is also available, however it doesn't support HDR10+ and 4K HDR. It doesn't have a USB connection and is not equipped with an internal power supply.
