Are soundbars generally worth it? (Off-Topic)

For gaming, I typically just stick with my Astros or Sennheisers. Even with movies, I tend to use my Xbox One X and headphones for its Atmos support.

However, I watch a lot of YouTube on my TV, and I really have to crank the volume up to hear anything and it always sounds awful. So I’m looking into getting a soundbar. The Vizio SB3621 has great reviews and seems highly recommended, and it’s exactly in the price I feel comfortable spending. I’m not looking to add great sound to my tiny bedroom, as I use my headphones for that—I’m not looking for a real 5.1 setup or anything like that. Just looking to make not using headphones bearable.

Generally worth the investment or should I just forget it?
