Sound is really important in many of the entertainment options that exist today, such as enjoying music or watching series or movies at home. If you want to have a very good quality in this second case, you should resort to some of the sound bars on the market that, if you have a subwoofer, better than better, We show what you have to check when choosing one.
The truth is that the improvement achieved with sound bars is very evident, since both dialogues and the definition of all kinds of musical genres are enjoyed with greater definition . In addition, the output power is also increased, which always exceeds that offered by smart TVs or monitors, so here, too, an optimization is achieved that is worth considering.
Sound bars with subwoofer, what should they have?
First of all, it must be said that the recommendations that we are going to indicate are regarding the models that have a price that is below 170 euros , a most sensible amount for this type of accessories that, above all, they offer some bass much improved compared to what is usually enjoyed at home.
One of the first things we recommend to keep in mind is that the selected model offers compatibility with Bluetooth technology. This has several benefits, but the most important is that the use of cables to connect the 2.1 set is avoided (both with compatible Smart TVs and among the elements that make up these sound bars). It does not hurt that other options are included in relation to connectivity, since possibilities such as optical input or HDMI, it is always positive to have them.
The next thing to review is regarding power, since one of the objectives when using this type of accessory is to obtain more than what televisions are capable of. Therefore, the minimum required is that the amount we are talking about is a total of 60W , but the ideal is for the figure to reach eighty, adding what the main module and the subwoofer itself allows. If this is true, the moments when you don’t hear what they say in a movie when they speak softly will go on to a better life. This, added to the definition that these accessories allow, makes it have a much more marked feeling of Home Cinema.
Another element that we believe is fundamental in sound bars is the inclusion of a remote control . It is true that the vast majority include controls on the device itself, but the truth is that the comfort of not having to get up from the chair to establish the sound mode or the input method used, is greatly appreciated. The truth is that this seems basic, but this accessory is not always included … and better be forewarned.
Usage options and more on these accessories
Dimensions are a relevant element, since there is not always space to place the sound bars. The truth is that the main element is usually always small enough to be able to use it easily in the living room furniture (and, in addition, it is not a bad idea that it can be placed on the wall, since many people want to use it this form). In addition, and this is important to remember, when using Bluetooth technology, find a place to locate it without many problems. Besides, it is not a bad idea that an information screen or LEDs are included to know the status of the device at all times.
It is also interesting to review the technologies that can be used with these accessories. The basic thing is that it is compatible with both Dolby and DTS ; since in this way you can get the most out of the content that is usually used in homes. If this is so, and the above is true, you will surely be right in the purchase of sound bars with subwoofer.
