Separator

When it comes to overwhelming television entertainment, audio output is just as crucial as video output. However, the audio experiences a flatscreen could offer are limited, which is why many people choose to use additional soundbars. The greatest soundbars for TVs are those that fit elegantly with every TV console, take up little room, require few cords, and produce amazing sound.

But first, you should know a few things before purchasing any soundbar for a television. A little bit of information can help you find the best soundbar for your TV and save you a lot of money.

Connectivity
Aux-in, Bluetooth 5.0, USB, Optical in, and HDMI Arc ports are supported for connection by most soundbars. If you have an old LED TV, see if it supports HDMI Arc and optical input. Otherwise, you won't be able to enjoy Dolby Audio. Dolby Audio is supported by a lot of videos on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. It cannot be played back using Bluetooth, Aux, or USB connections.

Surround Watts
WRMS or RMS stands for the typical wattage that any speaker or woofer can manage over the course of an extended period. You need to examine the speaker's Peak Watts (W) and Watts Root Mean Square (WRMS) to obtain a better sense. The WRMS can be 80W; however, the Peak Watts can be 160W. The Peak Wattage, which any speaker may attain for a brief period, is the 160W specified as the speaker's specification.

With that said, here are some of the greatest soundbars to purchase under Rs.10,000.
