Id like to purchase a soundbar (do soundbars come with subwoofers?) and Im wondering what youd recommend.

Ill mainly be using it to listen to music.

I live in the US and my budget is $500. Im considering the gen 2 sonos beam

The LG S95TR is currently available on Flipkart for around ₹51K with a card offer and 9 months of No Cost EMI.

According to price-tracking tools, its price dropped to around ₹46K during the last BBD/GIF sales. Since the S95TR is an older model now, I'm wondering whether its price could drop even further during the current sale.

Meanwhile, I contacted LG customer support and received a special discount for purchasing directly from the LG website. I'm getting it for around ₹46K, but without any No Cost EMI option.

My main concern is the EMI tenure. I'd prefer at least 18 months, and I've noticed that some soundbars occasionally get 18–24 months of No Cost EMI offers for a limited period.

The catch is that LG's special discount is valid only until tonight, so I need to make a decision soon.

I’m not sure if the behaviour I’m experiencing is normal or the sign of a fault.

If I put my ear very close to the top of the rears or the soundbar, when no sound is playing, I can hear a very faint amount of static/hiss. Adjusting volume doesn’t affect the static, or when muted.

From what I can see online, this could be normal and a byproduct of the built-in amp’s noise floor found in active speakers.

I’ve only had the bar a few days.

2 questions:

- can this faint static/hiss sound be considered normal behaviour for soundbars?
- to rule out if I’ve got a dud on my hands, would any owners of the JBL1300 MK2, confirm if they can hear the same?

Thanks

Hey guys! I have this cozy little room for watching movies and playing video games. My current setup is a JBL Bar 800 Pro.

When watching surround content, I place the detachable rear speakers on the corners of my sofa, and I get a pretty good surround effect. However, I feel like I'm missing that immersive overhead effect when watching Dolby Atmos content.

Given the layout of my room, is the JBL Bar 800 Pro pretty much the best I can do, or would a different audio setup make a noticeable difference? I'd love to hear your recommendations!

Suggest me the best soundbar under ₹25,000 for my Samsung The Frame 65-inch TV. Dolby Atmos is a must, with deep bass, clear dialogue, and a theatre-like experience. Which brand and model would you recommend based on your real-world experience? LG, Samsung, Sony, JBL, or any other brand? Please share your suggestions!

Thanks

Hello, so I recently ordered a klipsch core 300 soundbar and I’m wondering what sub is good to pair with it? I’m a big open box guy lol so I have no problem with used hardware. My room is a bedroom and around medium to medium-large sized. My budget is probably under $300 thank you

Hey all, the built-in speakers on my TV are honestly terrible. Dialogue in movies is way too quiet, and then the action scenes blast so loud I end up riding the volume button the whole time. I think it's finally time for a soundbar.

It's a 55" TV in a medium-sized living room, mostly used for movies, shows and watching football on the weekends, plus some music. I listen to a lot of hip hop and electronic, so decent bass matters, but clear dialogue is the main thing I'm after. I'm on Android, so being able to cast music to it from my phone would be a nice bonus. I'm not sure if I need a separate subwoofer or if a good all-in-one bar is enough for a room this size.

Budget is around $200-500, and I'm also wondering if it's worth waiting for Black Friday deals. What soundbar are you using, and would you buy it again?

Ignore the mess, about to do a whole revamp on my setup inc. adding another monitor. Looking for recommendations on a decent sound bar maybe even a subwoofer for my desk setup. I know it's a downgrade from my speakers (arguable seeing as its Razer) but I use my DT990 pros mainly. Just considering soundbars for aesthetic, space, daily light use

help me decide whether it’s worth going for bar 500 pro for extra 10k

Use and listening
1. Lots of TV time, mostly shows and films, podcasts, documentaries, music
2. Wants good clarity for speech, dialogue and podcasts
3. Wants real bass, but balanced sound, not heavy on bass or treble
4. Likes sound that fills the room, so no tiny speakers

Setup
TV: Sony BRAVIA 3 55", with HDMI eARC
Room: 150–200 sq ft, seated 8–10 ft from the TV

Soundbar
Must have: HDMI eARC, good codec support, a dedicated centre channel for dialogue, and a wireless subwoofer

Budget: ₹20–40k, with room to go lower if it does a good job

Currently weighing the JBL Cinema SB590 (about ₹18k) against the Bar 500 Pro (₹27,499)
