How to Choose the Best Soundbar?

The new generation televisions, if on the one hand have brought an unquestionable improvement in viewing quality by significantly reducing their thickness, on the other hand they have sacrificed the goodness of sound. For this reason, it is advisable to buy a soundbar, that is a device that allows you to fully enjoy the audio quality of what you are watching.

On this page we offer you our buying guide in which you will find our advice on which aspects to consider before choosing.

For every need

The offer of soundbars on the market is truly rich and varied, capable of satisfying every need both in terms of listening quality, price, and space requirements. To begin with, there are the cheaper models that are formed exclusively by the bar which, connected to the television, radiates its sound. Then there are other models that have an external subwoofer that serves to increase the perception of bass and ensure a more rounded sound.

Other soundbars are also designed to be used with a series of additional speakers, in a variable number (from a minimum of two to a maximum of seven) to ensure a surround effect typical of home theater systems. Of course, these latest models are those that need more space and also a careful design of the room, because the speakers must be positioned in specific points to return the right enveloping effect.

By comparing prices (those on a budget can opt for the best soundbar under 15000 in India) and technical characteristics of the models of the best brands, therefore, carefully evaluate the size of your living room as well as your willingness to also install the speakers. If you prefer something more immediate, probably the soundbar alone (with or without subwoofer) represents the right compromise between simplicity and sonic fidelity.

Even the eye

Designed to be placed under or next to a super-thin TV, soundbars also make design one of their strengths. Some models are characterized by avant-garde lines, others by curved shapes, others by shiny and fascinating bodies. Therefore, carefully evaluate the color and shape that best suit the style of your living room and that of your TV.

The number of available connections ranks at the top of the ranking of aspects to consider before choosing which soundbar to buy. The HDMI and optical ports cannot be missing because they are the ones that allow you to connect devices such as Blu-ray players or game consoles and enjoy high quality audio such as that guaranteed by Dolby Digital or DTS.

Wireless

Technological evolution has made it possible to make the dialogue between the soundbar and the various compatible devices even easier thanks to the use of Bluetooth. In this way, these devices are able to connect to a subwoofer or any speakers without the need to use awkward and unsightly cables.

Similarly, again thanks to Bluetooth, a soundbar can be used as a wireless speaker to play music from all compatible devices, such as MP3 players, smartphones and tablets. By comparing the prices, it is evident that the presence of this wireless technology is now considered the standard, so our advice is to opt for a compatible model, so as to ensure greater versatility.

Conclusion

The soundbar is a great alternative to a home theater system. Basically, it is an oblong speaker for modern televisions capable of emulating surround and drastically increasing the sound quality, replacing the TV's built-in speakers, usually of low quality. Just connect the soundbar to the TV via an HDMI cable, or if both devices have Bluetooth, pair.
