      ABSOLUTELY NOT

      Sorry. An AV installer has PTSD from tons of pissed off clients blaming us for their audio system suddenly not working

    For that price you can get a decent surround sound system. Sound bars don’t sound much better than the speakers built into the TV.

        I’ve had my Sonos sound bar for 5 years and love it. It puts out pretty great sound honestly

      You do not know what you’re talking about. The $50 no name soundbar from Walmart might not be an improvement but soundbars from Sonos (and others) are MAJOR upgrades.

      A surround sound system will likely sound better (again not the $100 combo pack from Walmart) but requires placing speakers in the proper places…which most people do not even do

          Maybe… I’ve heard some absolutely awful soundbars. They trade sound quality for volume

          Somewhat related: I think the Sony and Samsung ones are an upgrade but that’s a low bar and they sound like shit for the price.

          I haven’t heard on all, but the Sonos Arc/Beam/Playbar are the only (all-in-one) soundbars I’ve heard that I would say sound great.
