Soundbars
Soundbars transform your TV’s audio experience by compensating for the limitations of built-in speakers. Compact and easy to install, they deliver more powerful sound, clearer dialogue, and deeper bass. Available with or without a subwoofer, over Bluetooth or Wi‑Fi, compatible with Dolby Atmos or DTS:X, they suit all uses and budgets. Learn more
Why choose a soundbar?
The slim design of modern TVs, especially OLED and 4K LED models, limits audio quality. Built-in speakers lack power and depth, which undermines immersion when watching films or series. A soundbar corrects this imbalance by delivering cinema-worthy sound reproduction without the bulk of a traditional home theater system.
A practical alternative to home theater
Unlike 5.1 or 7.1 setups that require multiple satellite speakers, an amplifier, and lots of cables, a soundbar consolidates everything into a single unit. It sits under the screen or mounts on the wall, with simple installation via HDMI ARC, eARC, or optical connection. Some models can be complemented by an external subwoofer and surround speakers for an even more immersive experience.
Immersive audio technologies
Today’s soundbars support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X formats that create three-dimensional sound. Dolby Atmos-compatible models use upward-firing speakers to deliver vertical effects, simulating a multichannel setup. Configurations range from 2.1 (stereo with subwoofer) to 11.1.4 for high-end models, offering precise spatialization.
Connectivity and multiple uses
Beyond enhancing TV sound, modern soundbars include Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi to play music from a smartphone, tablet, or streaming services (Spotify, Deezer). Some offer AirPlay 2, Chromecast, or integrate voice assistants (Alexa, Google Assistant) for voice control. Multiple HDMI ports let you connect game consoles, Blu-ray players, or other sources.
Choose according to your needs
Power should match the room size: 120 W is sufficient for 15 m², while 300 W or more suits spaces of 40 m² and up. Choosing a separate subwoofer significantly improves low-frequency reproduction. Our selection brings together brands renowned for their audio expertise: Sonos and Denon for multiroom, Samsung and Sony for TV integration, Devialet and Sennheiser for acoustic excellence, Yamaha and Klipsch for home theater, BlueSound, Monitor Audio, and Polk Audio for demanding music lovers.
For a compact living room, favor soundbars without an external subwoofer. For a spacious living area, opt for a set with a subwoofer and the option to add surround speakers. Fans of immersive sound will gravitate toward Dolby Atmos models, while music-focused use points to soundbars with automatic acoustic calibration.
