Listen up. It matter not how much money your poured into getting the best of the best TV for your living. I can span across your wall at a ginormous 85 inches. It can be an OLED panel with beautiful color accuracy. It can even be one of those fancy ones that look like a painting when you put it in screensaver mode. None of that will matter when you got to watch a movie and you can barely hear what the actors are saying.
Audio is 50% of the viewing experience, yet many folks continue to ignore it. It you want to turn your “TV Room” into a true “Home Theater” then you’re going to want a good sound system. The good news is you can see a tremendous jump in quality over your TV’s built-in speakers with even just a humble soundbar. Sony has its BRAVIA Theater Bar 5 on sale at the moment. This soundbar and subwoofer combo normally sells for $350, but Amazon has the pair on sale for 15% off at the moment. That brings the price down by $52, so you only end up having to pay $298 for a limited time.
This Dolby Atmos, DTS:X-supported sound system from Sony can make any time you turn on the TV become a multidimensional, immersive experience. The soundbar is engineered to bounce sound around your space in a way that makes it feel like its coming from every direction—up, down, and side-to-side.
The included subwoofer contains a large 160mm speaker which can provide a powerfully deep bass to all the action on screen. Plus, it’s wireless so you don’t have to look at the eyesore that is exposed cables nor give yourself a headache trying to hide said cables. You have complete flexibility of where you place the subwoofer to best fit the room.
Clear Dialogue
The 3.1-channel soundbar has a dedicated center channel which is where the dialogue of what you’re watching will come through. This means it will come through clearly, standing out from the sounds of the other channels. It can even have its volume adjusted independently so you aren’t constantly juggling the volume on the remote because the mix of the movie you’re watching wasn’t made with home viewing in mind.
As a wireless speaker, you can even choose to connect other sources like a phone, tablet, or laptop over Bluetooth. You’ve got a great speaker now in your living room, so why not default to using that to listen to music?
