If you’re planning to buy a TV this Black Friday, chances are you’ll want a soundbar to go with it. Are you finding that movies at home aren’t as impactful as they could be? Are ambient noises too high? Or does it just seem like your TV is never loud enough? Soundbars are a single gadget solution to start upgrading your television into a full-blown cinema (which requires a subwoofer and rear speakers as well).
When purchasing a soundbar, always take into consideration how much space you have available, whether you’re wall-mounting it or sitting on a TV stand. Also, be aware of the kind of connections your TV allows. HDMI ARC support is best as it simplifies the connection process and allows you to control your soundbar without the need to use the included remote. But, as long as your TV has an optical port, you’re good to go. Some soundbars also offer Bluetooth connectivity, which is usable by mobile devices as well as some televisions. Wait. Did you hear that? Sounds like some Black Friday savings on popular soundbar brands:
