What is a soundbar?
Soundbars are speaker systems that are more compact and designed to boost your TV’s audio. Flatscreens may come with amazing image quality, but since the space for built-in speakers is limited, sound quality is disappointing most of the time. Sound bars are easier to set up compared to a full home cinema or surround sound system since it contain a number of speakers in one bar.
Keep in mind though that a sound bar is not a replacement for a hi-fi full-fledged setup, but there are models that can cost more than £1,000. High-end models like these are jam-packed with high-end audio kits such as better audio tuning, advanced connectivity options and very powerful amplifiers.
Types of soundbars
Sounbar vs Sound base
The two main types are soundbar and sound base or pedestal soundbar. The most common design is a long thin bar speaker that has a subwoofer that’s either wireless or otherwise. It can be placed in front of your TV on the stand or wall-mounted. Its design is hassle-free but with some drawbacks like blocking the remote sensor of your TV.
A sound base on the other hand has a sleeker design and acts as your TV’s pedestal. The design has unfortunately fallen out of the radar since new TV models have changed its centralized pillar stand to feet located on both ends of the TV for safety reasons. This makes compact bases unsuitable for bigger TVs but sound bases can still be bought today to fit most 32-in TVs. Aside from limited availability, another drawback of a sound base is it lacks a separate subwoofer and does not produce the same deep bass quality that a traditional soundbar with subwoofers can offer.

Some tips on choosing the right soundbar
What size should I get?
Soundbars come in many shapes and sizes, from less than a foot long to as tall as 4ft or even more. While larger ones often offer more drivers for bigger sound, often times you’re simply paying for a longer box. Keep in mind that a soundbar’s length does not directly correspond to your TV’s screen size.
Here’s a guide on soundbar and TV sizes:
Another thing to remember is that, even if it’s by the same brand or manufacturer, your soundbar may not automatically work with your TV’s width. So ensure you’ve check the width of both models in its manufacturer’s spec section before purchasing.

Do I still need surround sound?
A two-channel sounbard don’t usually sound much different between surround modes and stereo, especially since in the first place they are not producing a true surround-sound experience. There are models with optional surround that sound great when playing movies. Many mid-range soundbars now has the ability to add surround speakers to existing bars. Brans like Samsung and LG offers this. They normally use WIFi when connecting to standalone wireless speakers. Keep in mind that this will add to the cost and can be a very expensive option.
Do I need the remote control that comes with my soundbar?
Almost all sandbars come with a remote, but they are usually not of good quality and numerous manufacturers rely instead on users to program their sounbars to respond to commands from the remote of their TVs. It’s not a bad idea but it can be problematic at times. Once you disable the internal speakers of your TV, some TVs will display an irritating message every time they receive volume remote commands, which typically happens when you’re using the remote of your TV to control your soundbar.
