Sound Bar

Soundbars

As our TVs become slimmer every time there is a new release, the speakers that are installed in them have also become smaller. This affects the overall aural experience when watching the TV. To battle this effect of progression one can either install a home theatre system or buy a soundbar. Home theatre systems are a lot more costly and also require installation at times. A soundbar, on the other hand, is a single oblong-shaped device that can be placed under the TV. It usually has a single wire that connects to the TV and digitally creates a stereo experience. Soundbars use vibration technology to make one feel like they are surrounded by speakers. 

Audiophiles may prefer a home theatre system as it is true stereo and is also able to produce higher decibels. But for average users who want a simpler solution, the soundbar is ideal. If one wants more bass there are models that come with a separate subwoofer. Another neat feature is Bluetooth, models with this wireless technology can also be used as a convenient music listening device.

Soundbars are available at many different prices, depending on the brand and also what features it contains. The known brands producing the best ones are mostly the top speaker developers of the world, including Klipsch, JBL, Bose, Harman Kardon, Sonos, Bang & Olufsen, Samsung, LG and Sony.
