Lots of people I know underestimate the importance of good audio when it comes to their home theater setups. Sure, it’s cool you have a bit 85-inch TV on the wall in your living room, but it feels less like watching in a movie theater than it does like watching on my phone when you’re only using the TV’s own built-in speakers. The cinema experience is about both picture and sound and it would be satisfying to watch without both being given their proper treatment. A good soundbar doesn’t even cost too much these days. Right now, Amazon has this powerful LG 5.1-channel sound system on sale for 38% off. Usually, you’d find this selling for $400, but thanks to the discount, it’s now been taken down by a good $150. That means, for a limited time, you’ll only have to spend $250 to substantially upgrade your sound.
Bring Epic Sound Home
You can experience a completely new dimension of sound after ditching the dinky speakers built into your TV. The LG home theater system makes use of five channels. You have the soundbar in front which has its own dedicated left, right, and center channels. Then the two rear speakers to create a full surround sound effect both in the back right and back left. Then there is also a subwoofer which adds a whole new level of deep and rich bass you’d wouldn’t be getting without it. You don’t just hear what you’re watching, you also feel it.
The rear speakers and subwoofer are able to connect to the main soundbar wirelessly. This means you don’t have to worry about running cables from the front of your room to the back or hiring a contractor to hid it within the wall or ceiling.
A common pain point of listening to shows and movies with just the built-in TV speakers is that it can often be difficult to parse what people are saying. Dialogue struggles to be heard clearly when it is sharing the same channels are gun shots and car tires screeching.
The center channel on the LG soundbar is mostly dedicated to dialogue, this way you can hear everything that’s being spoken crystal clear. Additionally, each channel’s volume can be individually adjusted, so you can raise the volume of what the actors are saying without that meaning your picture frames will fall off the wall when the scene cuts to an explosion.
