The soundbars are equipped with a different number of buttons, power, volume down, volume up, function, play/pause, microphone for the SN9YG and volume down, volume up, input, power for the HW-N650.

Each of the models under consideration has active amplification type. A noticeable difference is the number of channels that SN9YG has 5.1.2 and HW-N650 has 5.1. These rivals can be compared in terms of power, 520 (overall) versus 360 (overall) according to devices. The built-in subwoofer is not implemented in any of these models.
