Buying a good soundbar is one of the simplest and most effective ways to dramatically improve your TV’s audio quality. The Bose soundbar has long been a favorite for those seeking solid performance at a reasonable price, and its current $279 price tag on Amazon is already considered a great deal.
But Amazon’s own Fire TV Soundbar is now available for just $89, which is a full three times less than the Bose counterpart (and a 25% discount from the original $119 price) and which makes it an unbeatable option for bargain hunters.
Affordable Great Sound
This newest Fire TV soundbar is a compact 2.0 channel soundbar which is designed to fit seamlessly into most living spaces with a length of just 24 inches and a height of 2.5 inches. Its minimalist design ensures it won’t dominate your TV stand but don’t let its size fool you: the dual speakers deliver a much fuller sound than what you’ll get from standard TV speakers. Dialogue is more distinct, there’s more noticeable bass, and the overall sound profile is richer which improves everything from sports to films.
What really sets this soundbar apart is that it supports both Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X, two technologies that create a virtualized surround sound effect without extra speakers. DTS Virtual:X gives you a three-dimensional soundstage with action sequences that draw you in and a sense of space around music that’s unheard of at this price. Dolby Audio adds more detail and clarity so you never miss a word or subtle sound effect. With the Fire TV Soundbar, whatever you’re watching – the latest release or your favorite TV show – sounds far larger than it has any right to at this price.
Setting up the Fire TV Soundbar is beautifully easy: Simply plug the included HDMI cable into your TV’s HDMI eARC or ARC port, and you’re ready to go. The soundbar automatically syncs with your TV audio, so there’s no delay, and everything stays in perfect sync. No tricky setups or additional apps needed. If you’d like to listen to music, the built-in Bluetooth permits you to stream directly from your phone or tablet.
The Fire TV Soundbar is also designed to work seamlessly with Fire TV devices and most smart TVs so that you can control your TV and soundbar using a single remote. With this integration, you’re able to switch inputs, control volume, and navigate your entertainment system without juggling several remotes.
With Memorial Day sales in full swing, the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar for $89 is one of the best deals you’ll find for a serious sound upgrade. For nearly three times less than the Bose soundbar everyone raves about, you’re getting a device that hits all the right notes.
