Soundbars: 3 things to consider before buying
When choosing soundbars, it's crucial to think about where you'll place them and how they'll fit into your space. Measure the width of your TV and ensure that the soundbar isn't wider than the screen for a balanced look. If you plan to mount it on a wall, check if it comes with mounting brackets or if they need to be purchased separately. Some soundbars are designed to fit snugly under your TV, while others might be better suited for shelf placement. Visualize where you'll position the soundbar to ensure it complements your room's layout.
Connectivity is key when choosing soundbars, as it determines how easily you can integrate them with other devices. Look for soundbars with multiple input options such as HDMI ARC, optical audio, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. HDMI ARC allows you to control the soundbar with your TV remote, making it a convenient choice for seamless integration. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity enable you to stream music directly from your phone or other devices without needing additional cables. Consider what devices you'll connect and ensure the soundbar supports those connections.
Sound quality can make or break your entertainment experience, so it's important to evaluate this aspect carefully. Look for features like Dolby Atmos or DTS:X if you're interested in immersive surround sound effects. Some soundbars come with subwoofers that enhance bass performance, which is ideal for action-packed movies or music with deep bass lines. Additionally, consider models with built-in equalizer settings that allow you to adjust treble and bass according to your preferences. Test different sound modes if possible, to find one that suits your listening habits best.
