A soundbar is a must-have to accompany your TV -- your TV's speakers won't cut it. Even if you think you don't need one, you'll never go back once you get one. Trust me. However, a soundbar only gets better when it has rear speakers and a subwoofer working alongside it. Although some enthusiasts may encourage you to assemble your own home theater, you can buy one in a box.

It's hard to convince anyone to spend over a thousand dollars on a soundbar system. Ask a home theater nerd or Redditor, and they'll say spending real cash on anything other than a receiver and dedicated speakers and subwoofer is a fool's errand. As an A/V reviewer, I see this as a hilariously case of gatekeeping. These arguments are predicated on the fact that everyone has the room, know-how, and desire to deal with cables, speakers, and the associated setup.

The JBL Bar 1000MK2 offers a versatile design with detachable, battery-powered surround speakers that easily attach to the soundbar or can be used independently.

Incredible scale and volume. Immersive, with effective sound placement. Rich bass response from all-in-one design. Refined music performance. Easy setup.

The Fire Soundbar Plus stands out with superior design and performance, making it a highlight at CES 2025, and is currently available at a discounted price.

The Yamaha True X Bar 50A delivers exceptional sound quality at half the price of higher-end models, making it an affordable choice for audio enthusiasts.
