Privacy & Freedom in the Information Age www.reddit.com

Hi all, I'm in search of a privacy-respecting soundbar. Does this exist? It seems like new soundbars have microphones, smart assistants, and other surveillance capitalism "features" that I don't want. Can't a speaker just be a speaker?

The soundbar will be the main speaker for an open area living space, and will be used for listening to music and watching movies / TV.

**Privacy qualities I'm looking for:**

* Absolutely no microphones. Microphone "turn off" features are not enough.
* …
