1. What Size Soundbar Do I Need For My Home?

The size of the soundbar will depend upon a number of factors, the most important of which are size of the room and the size of the TV. Of these two, it is the second factor that we are going to lay more emphasis on, as people usually tend to select TV size in accordance with the size of their rooms. Soundbars come in all shapes and sizes. In a lot of cases, larger soundbars offer more drivers and hence, a bigger sound. However, in other cases, you might be just paying for a larger box and nothing more! As a general rule, try to match the length of the soundbar with the width of the TV. However, TV measurements are given diagonally, and measuring the width may not be always possible for you. Hence, go for the following soundbar measurements, corresponding to the TV size: A 12-inch soundbar can usually go with any screen size, whereas for 42-50 inch TV, go for a soundbar of 38-45 inches in length. If you have a TV of 55 to 60 inches, buy a soundbar which is 50 inches in length. And in case you own a TV as big as 70 inches or more, go for a 60-inch soundbar.

2. Which Wireless Technology Is Best For The Soundbar - Wifi Or Bluetooth?

Wireless streaming on soundbars can take two forms - Bluetooth and WiFi. Wireless streaming on a soundbar is very useful these days, because you no longer only rely on your TV or your DVD player for entertainment, but also use devices like your smartphone or tab to listen to music and watch movies. Wireless connectivity is the most preferred connectivity option on these smart devices. You can directly play music from your phone on your Spotify or iTunes app on the soundbar. Of the two technologies, Bluetooth is the most inexpensive and most preferred wireless streaming technology that is used on soundbars. It also offers the easiest way to wirelessly stream audio from your phone, laptop, or tablet. It works both with the music stored on the device, as well as music played on third-party apps. Besides, all Android and iOS devices offer Bluetooth connectivity, and hence, manufacturers tend to use it on their soundbars. All the best soundbars in India that we have reviewed here come equipped with Bluetooth technology. WiFi, on the other hand, offers several upgrades over Bluetooth. For instance, it offers a greater range than Bluetooth and allows you to listen to music in multiple rooms, and even control it with Google Assistant or Alexa. However, there are several competing standards when it comes to WiFi, of which Chromecast, Play-Fi, Sonos, are some of the most popular ones. Hence, it is advised that you investigate the WiFi options before you buy.

3. What Is The Difference Between A 2.1 And 5.1 Soundbar?

A 5.1 soundbar will, obviously, deliver a better sound than a 2.1 channel soundbar. The latter generally costs more than the former. But, it is important to understand the difference between the two, so that if you opt for a 5.1 channel soundbar, you will have a knowledge of why you are spending the extra penny. A 2.1 channel soundbar includes at least two speakers (sometimes more), which are grouped into two channels - left and right. Besides, in some of the models, an additional subwoofer is also included. The purpose of the extra speakers, however, is not just to provide with extra volume. Instead, more speakers help to create a truer and better sound experience. With the extra subwoofer, you can also get a better surround sound. The left and right speakers will also give you clear left and right channels of audio. A 5.1 channel soundbar, on the other hand, comes with three extra channels, which exist to create a much richer listening experience. The speakers in a 5.1 channel soundbar include a front left, front right, front centre, surround (back) right, surround (back) left, and a seperate subwoofer. The front channels, in usual cases, are all built into the soundbar. The surround speakers,, are usually separate speakers. However, on some of the soundbars, all the five channels are built into the device itself. Even though they are placed inside the soundbar itself, they act as surround channels.
