Samsung Sound Bars

A sound bar offers a simple way to elevate the audio for your movies and TV shows, instead of solely relying on your TV’s speakers. They provide superb quality without the space requirement, cost and complexity of a full surround-sound system. Plus, Samsung soundbars are designed to work with your Samsung TV for an extremely user-friendly experience.

To find the best Samsung soundbar for your home theater, begin by determining whether you’d like a subwoofer with your sound bar. A Samsung soundbar with subwoofer delivers deep, impactful bass, making it a popular choice for action movie fans. The subwoofer might be built in to the soundbar. Or, more commonly, it’s a subwoofer that wirelessly connects to the Samsung soundbar and can be placed wherever there’s an electrical outlet for power.

When looking at a soundbar for Samsung TV, you’ll notice labels like 2.1, 3.0 and 5.1.2. The first digit indicates the number of channels. A soundbar with two channels has a left and right channel. If it has three channels, the third is a center channel. The next digit tells you if the soundbar comes with a subwoofer (1) or not (0). If there’s a third digit, it means the soundbar supports Dolby Atmos surround sound, and that number refers to how many drivers fire upward to create the immersive effect.

If you’d like to stream music from a Bluetooth-enabled device (like your smartphone) to your soundbar, a Samsung soundbar with Bluetooth should be in your list to consider.

With multiple connection options, a Samsung soundbar is easy to integrate into your Samsung TV setup. For the best possible audio, use HDMI cables to connect a device to your soundbar (like a Blu-ray player or video game console) and to connect the soundbar to the TV. If you don’t regularly use another device, HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) lets your Samsung soundbar and TV transfer audio back and forth using one HDMI cable. If your TV is mounted away from your soundbar and you want to avoid cable clutter, you can connect them wirelessly via Bluetooth. Keep in mind, this could be an unstable connection at times. To help enjoy your Samsung soundbar (and other home theater equipment) for many years, don’t forget to keep it safe from damaging power spikes with a surge protector.
