Listen, you could have the most suped up TV on the market—one that stretched floor to ceiling with stark contrast and crisp 8K resolution. Your TV could look better than real life itself, but if you don’t have good audio to back it up, watching anything on it is going to feel lackluster. Audio makes up for 50% of the viewing experience, after all. Most TV speakers can’t hold a candle to a dedicated sound system, and a good one won’t even cost you too much. Take a look at the Sony S100F soundbar. This soundbar already starts at a pretty affordable price of $118, but has come down even further to just $98 for a limited time. The 17% discount ends up saving you $20 and can elevate your living room to cinematic levels.
Sony’s 2.0-channel sound bar is compact, but can still produce rich audio with a powerfully deep bass despite the small frame. It’s a great option for homes where space is limited, like an apartment. You have some flexibility when it comes to placement. Choose to either sit it atop your media console right beside the TV. If your TV is mounted on the wall, the Sony S100F can be wall-mounted right underneath.
Audio through the Sony S100F is designed to fill a room evenly. The S-Force Pro Front Surround technology makes it sound great, no matter where you are seated.
Better Dialogue
A huge pain point when watching any show or movie on a TV with its built-in speakers is actually being able to make out the dialogue. I know I struggle myself to hear exactly what the actors on screen are saying unless I put on captions or pump up the volume. The problem with that, though, is then it might cut to an action sequence and now everything is suddenly uncomfortably loud. This results in needing to keep the remote in hand through and entire movie to be bouncing it back and forth between high and low levels on a scene-to-scene basis.
Well, the Sony S100F soundbar has addressed this common complaint by including an voice enhancement feature that is able to boost the volume level of spoken content, while keeping the audio levels of all the sound effects more modest. You can finally make sense of the plot.
Setup is easy. The Sony soundbar can connect to your TV over the HDMI ARC port. Doing so will even allow you to use your TV’s remote to control the soundbar volume levels.
