AudioJan 28, 2025

While modern televisions have improved audio quality over the years, the built-in speakers still often fall short for an immersive entertainment experience. Here's how external soundbars compare:

TV Built-in Speakers

Pros:

  • No additional equipment needed
  • Simple setup
  • Cost-effective if you're not audio-conscious

Cons:

  • Limited sound quality and depth
  • Weak bass response
  • Sound directed downward or backward, away from viewers

External Soundbars

Pros:

  • Superior audio quality and clarity
  • Better bass and immersive sound
  • Proper speaker placement for optimal sound
  • Wide range of options at different price points

Cons:

  • Additional cost
  • Requires proper placement and installation
  • Need for additional space

Proper Mounting Matters

The placement of your soundbar significantly impacts audio quality. A soundbar mounted too high or too low, or positioned incorrectly, won't deliver optimal sound. Professional mounting ensures your soundbar is positioned correctly for the best audio experience.
