A sound bar with a separate subwoofer is ideal when you are adding a sound bar to a home entertainment system. Many films, television shows and video games include strong low frequencies either in the soundtrack or in the audio effects. These bass notes benefit from specialized subwoofers that can increase the volume without causing frequency distortion.

Additionally, you may want to choose a subwoofer if you enjoy playing music that includes a powerful bass. Even if you don’t want the floors vibrating to a dance beat, using a subwoofer to play music creates a deeper and richer sound for you and your guests.

While you can always choose a subwoofer and sound bar separately, it makes sense to pick a pair that comes together as they are sure to be compatible with each other. If you need any help setting them up, don’t hesitate to contact Best Buy’s professional home entertainment installation team.

Going through all of the options for sound bars with subwoofers can feel overwhelming. So, start with some basic criteria. What is your budget? What size can you accommodate? Do you want any particular audio technology, like a Dolby Atmos sound bar with subwoofer? Do you want additional units, like rear speakers for surround sound? Do you want a mountable sound bar with subwoofer?

Thanks to the wonders of Bluetooth and other wireless technology, it’s becoming less common to find wired sound bar with subwoofers. A sound bar with wireless subwoofer gives you greater freedom in terms of where you place your units.

Wireless sound bars with subwoofers can be connected to any device with Bluetooth or a shared wireless technology. Without having to reorganize wired connections, you can play audio off your phone, off of a turntable with Bluetooth, off of the television and more. This flexibility ensures an immersive audio experience whether you're watching movies, gaming or streaming your favorite music.
