Soundbars

Choosing a Soundbar for Your Space

The right soundbar depends on your TV, the size of your room and how you like to listen. Some models are compact and simple, while others pair with a separate subwoofer or support smart features. Check each product's specifications to confirm connections and compatibility before you buy.

Features to Compare

• Channel configuration: Soundbars are often described as 2.0, 2.1 or higher. A higher number can indicate more speaker channels or a dedicated subwoofer, but performance varies by model.
• Subwoofer options: Some soundbars include a built-in or external subwoofer for extra bass, while others can pair with an optional subwoofer on selected models.
• TV connection: Check whether the soundbar connects by HDMI, optical or another input, and confirm that your TV has a matching port.
• Wireless and smart features: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi streaming, app control and voice assistant support are available on selected models. Check the product specifications for supported services.
• Surround and virtual audio: Some soundbars offer Dolby Atmos or virtual surround processing. Supported formats and the effect depend on the model and your content.
• Size and placement: Measure the space in front of or below your TV and check whether the soundbar can be wall mounted.

How to Choose a Soundbar

1. Check which audio outputs your TV offers, such as HDMI or optical.
2. Consider your room size and whether you want a separate subwoofer.
3. Decide whether wireless streaming or app control matters to you.
4. Measure your TV unit or wall space for a good fit.
5. Review the specifications, included accessories and warranty for each model.

Most soundbars connect using HDMI or an optical cable, depending on the model and your TV. Check the inputs on the soundbar and the outputs on your TV before buying.
