What is a soundbar?
A soundbar is a multi-speaker device, built in a slim rectangular housing for sparkling surround sound that fits neatly under your TV or projector screen. With several speakers configured along the length of the device, a soundbar evenly disperses sound to stream immersive audio throughout your space.
Is it worth getting a soundbar for my TV?
You won’t regret getting a soundbar. Whether you’re streaming your favourite flicks, cheering for your team, listening to music, or getting your game on, sound bars elevate your sound to stunning new heights. While some TVs already have quality in-built speakers, they pale in comparison to the crisp high-end clarity and smooth frequencies soundbars can offer.
When you buy a soundbar for your TV, you’ll enjoy features like:
- Sleek Design – Slim and unobtrusive.
- Wider Frequency – More bass, more treble, more sound.
- Clearer Audio – Cut back on rewinding, hear it the first time around.
- Surround Sound – Turn up without sacrificing the quality of sound.
- Dolby Atmos – Immersive 3D audio.
- Subwoofer Options – Choose from built-in or wireless subwoofers.
- Connectivity – HDMI, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi.
- Easy Setup – Simple plug-and-play installation.
- Voice Assistant – Integrated voice assistants.
How do I choose the right soundbar for my home?
Choosing the right soundbar option is a breeze when you know what to look for. When browsing for the perfect soundbar option at Harvey Norman, there are a few things to consider:
Size - The size of your space can affect the quality and dispersion of sound. For optimal sound, match the size and power of your soundbar to your living room size.
Acoustics – Consider the layout of your room and the materials surrounding the space. Tiles, windows, and other smooth surfaces can reflect and amplify your soundbar audio while carpet, curtains, and other fabric materials have the opposite effect.
Connectivity – Have a smart home setup? Some soundbars work like smart speakers with Alexa or Google Assistant built-in. You can even mix and match with other wireless home speakers or portable speakers in your collection for seamless music streaming.
Budget Brands such as JBL, Hisense, and Klipsch offer a range of great budget-friendly and mid-range choices, while names like Sonos, Sennheiser, and Yamaha boast top-of-the-line options for audio aficionados.
Are soundbars better than speakers?
Soundbars offer audio quality comparable to traditional AV receivers and home theatre systems but at a more affordable price point. They occupy much less space thanks to their sleek, space-saving design that fits perfectly on your entertainment unit, making them a practical choice for those who prefer a more compact setup. Unlike dedicated surround sound systems that require careful setup and positioning, soundbars provide plug-and-play convenience for hassle-free enjoyment.
