Start 2023 with a New Soundbar

January 17, 2023

When you are watching TV do you find yourself continuously turning the volume up because the audio isn’t loud enough and then back down during action-packed scenes? This is a sign that it might be time to upgrade your TV’s audio system.

While TVs are continually improving in quality, built-in speakers that come with TVs are not of the highest quality. Most of the money that is put into a high-end television goes toward the screen quality and other technology such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities.

If you’re looking to upgrade your entertainment room’s sound system in 2023, we suggest investing in a soundbar to improve sound quality at an affordable price.

What’s A Soundbar?

One of the biggest things to consider in preparation for winter is the low temperatures, especially if you live in an area that regularly gets well-below freezing. Here are the top things to check in your home.

Some soundbars can be purchased as a system. In these systems, soundbars are accompanied by additional subwoofers that can be placed on the floor near the entertainment center or rear speakers to be set up behind the viewer to provide a surround sound experience.

Soundbar pricing ranges from as little as $150 to $1,500+ depending on the quality and accessories included.

Features to Shop For

So, are you ready to start the year off with a new soundbar? Here is what to consider before purchasing a soundbar or audio system and our recommendations of what to look for.

• Space. Before you go shopping for a soundbar, evaluate the space you have available for placement. If you are planning to place your soundbar on your entertainment stand, you may want to measure the available space before shopping to ensure the model you choose will fit.
• Bluetooth. We highly recommend shopping for a Bluetooth model. This will allow you to clean up your space’s appearance and save yourself the headache of connecting wires.
• Sound Quality. Though any soundbar is an upgrade from the built-in speakers in most TVs, there are various levels of quality to consider. Added features like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and the number of speakers in the soundbar all add an additional level of quality.
• Voice-Enabled. Some soundbars come enabled to use popular voice systems such as Amazon Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant. These allow you to easily change the volume and input without the remote.
• Smart Device. If your TV is not already a Smart Device, we suggest shopping for a Wi-Fi capable soundbar. These will allow you to stream Netflix and other apps directly to your TV or play music directly through apps like Amazon Music, Spotify, or Pandora via voice command.

There is no doubt that a soundbar will create a much better experience in your entertainment room and level up movie nights and sports for the entire family.
