How to choose a sound bar | Crutchfield

Flat-panel TV speakers are thin and weak, and a sound bar offers an easy-to-install upgrade that'll have your movies, games, TV and music sounding amazing.

There are lots of sound bars to choose from. In order to find the perfect one, you'll have to ask yourself a few questions:

1. What space do I have? Some sound bars are better for bigger rooms than others.

2. Where will I put it? You may want a bar that sits flat in front of a TV on a stand. Or maybe your TV is wall-mounted, and you'd like to mount the sound bar below it on the wall. Another style is like a base that the TV sits on top of.

3. Do I want surround sound, either in a virtual way or by adding satellite speakers? Some sound bars bounce sound off your walls and ceilings for a virtual surround effect, while others have optional rear satellite speakers.

4. Do I want deep bass? Some sound bars come with a separate wireless sub, while some have optional subs or bass modules.

5. Would I like to incorporate the sound bar into my whole-house music system? Some sound bars connect to your system as a separate zone for music.

6. How about working with my Alexa or Google Assistant? Some of these let you speak basic commands without a remote, thanks to either built-in virtual assistants or by working with a connected device like an Echo Dot.

And naturally, sound quality and aesthetics play a role, too. With so many choices, you're sure to find a sound bar that'll fit your lifestyle.
