If you have a high-end TV with 4K resolution you will surely have realized that the audio will not be your strong point with total probability.

How do we solve this problem? With a good sound bar, a device that will offer us an excellent surround sound experience and that can be easily installed in any room without having to fill it of many speakers everywhere. They can be put on a wall or under your TV, and often come with an integrated subwoofer for powerful bass.

What is a sound bar?

Basically this is a thin and small speaker system that can be placed under or near your TV. The technology it provides gives you great sound without having 5.1 surround speakers scattered throughout the room. They are perfect to use with a Blu-ray, an Xbox One or a PS4

Many sound bars offer 2.1 sound settings. That means you have two speakers and a separate subwoofer. Of course, there are some exceptions that group subwoofer and speakers in a single device.

Beyond connecting it to a TV, the sound bars can offer WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity to stream content from smartphones, tablets and computers. Physical connections may include USB ports for connecting external hard drives, HDMI inputs and outputs for Full HD or 4K, optical digital ports and 3D TV playback.
