How TVS look has become more and more impressive over the years. The panels are getting thinner and the color depth deeper. They’ve even got those fancy ones that look like a matte painting. As good as these televisions have gotten visually, the onboard audio has remained… meh. You just can pack quality speakers onto an ultra-thin screen. If you want sound quality that can keep up with your picture quality, you’re going to have to get yourself some dedicated speakers for your home entertainment. Right now, Amazon has its Fire TV Soundbar Plus on sale for a solid 30% off. Usually, you can find this speaker for $250, but the discount takes it down to just $175. That saves you a whole $75 for a limited time.
Picture quality isn’t everything. It’s important, certainly, but not that only thing that’s important. Visuals make up for 49% of the cinematic experience. Another 49% is how good it sounds (that last 2% is whether or not you have a tasty bucket of popcorn on your lap). Something like the Fire TV Soundbar Plus can give you a far wider range of sound with its 3.1 channel configuration and built-in subwoofer.
Enhanced Dialogue
Dialogue is one of the toughest things to deal with on the factory speakers on your TV. It’s not uncommon for movie and TV enjoys to be gripping the remote for their entire watch, constantly adjusting up the volume because the dialogue will be faint, then needing to turn it back down because an action sequence just started. With the Fire TV Soundbar Plus, you now have a dedicated center channel that handles primarily dialogue. You can adjust the levels of this channel separately from the rest of the speaker so you can finally get crystal clear line reads from the actors on screen without having any on-screen explosions shake the art off your walls.
Plug and Play Setup
The Fire TV Soundbar Plus, while beefy that what’s built into your TV, is fairly compact. It only measures 37 inches wide and can comfortably fit, sitting under your TV without taking over the space. If your TV is wall-mounted, you can even wall mount this soundbar as well.
Installation is real easy. The Fire TV Soundbar Plus works over HDMI ARC. Just connect the cable to your TV and everything will just work. In fact, you’ll even be able to use your TV remote to control volume settings. You’ll also be able to configure audio settings like bass and treble to your liking.
With Bluetooth support, this soundbar can be used as a general speaker for pretty much anything. Connect your phone so you can stream music or listen to an audiobook or podcast.
