Prime Day soundbar deals buying advice
Are soundbars worth it?
Compared to the tiny speakers built into most TVs, a good soundbar can provide a nice upgrade in audio quality without taking up all the extra space of a traditional home theater system. However, soundbars can vary a lot in size and performance, so you'll want to find a model that best suits your needs.
For instance, a small single-unit soundbar will be best for buyers on a budget who want a truly compact audio solution. But bigger, more expensive soundbar systems will provide better sound quality. Some soundbar packages even include a separate subwoofer and satellite speakers to support deeper bass and genuine surround sound.
What is a Dolby Atmos soundbar?
Some soundbars support an audio format called Dolby Atmos. This advanced surround sound technology uses object-based mixing to enable a more enveloping sense of 3D audio. While traditional surround sound is typically limited to five or seven ear-level speakers, Dolby Atmos supports overhead audio effects to create a dome of sound.
Soundbars can support Dolby Atmos in one of two ways. The first method uses virtual processing to simulate a sense of height from regular ear-level speakers. The second method uses upfiring speakers that are angled up instead of forward. This lets the speaker bounce sound effects off your ceiling to make it seem as if audio is coming from above your ear. Good up-firing drivers can provide a more convincing sense of overhead audio than virtual processing can.
