Best Sound Bar under Rs 30000 (2023)

[@nithinraj2580]

Which one would you recommend s40 or yas 209 for good experience? Is there any major difference between 200w and 600w in its sound quality? I love both music and movies, I hope you can recommend one for me!!

[@IdiotBox86]

I would choose the YAS simply because of the better overall sound output. However, if surround sound speakers is important to you, then you can consider the S40. But personally, the YAS is better. The YAS competes with the Sony HT-G700.

Sir which ome should buy yamaha 209 or jbl 2.1 deeep basss which one of 2

[@IdiotBox86]

[@PrazzAddictedtoLP]

Hi, could you please suggest between Sony HT-S40R and Samsung HW-B670/B67E XL Both seems very similar and from what I've heard from other reviews, Sony is more into bass, so much so that at times dialogues take the backseat. Is it true?

[@IdiotBox86]

I recommend you go and experience both of them at an offline store. you can carry content you are used to watching on a pen drive and experience it at the store to know which one you like better. Having said that, in the Sony S40R you can increase the volume of the channels, etc. I would go for the Sony between the 2.

[@ANDROIDSOLUTIONSHARSHGARG]

Hi Need some suggestions for speaker around 20k . Main requirements:- 1)Bluetooth Connectivity 2)Will connect it with my PC so Optical Fibre port is must . And my room size is 12X12 and main purpose is watching movies and series on my PC and listening songs. . I was thinking of getting Sony HTs20R or Samsung B550 or Obage 5.1(newly launched one). Can you please help me out with the same on which to choose or can recomend some other alternatives

[@IdiotBox86]

I haven't heard Obage, so can't comment on the performance. However, both the Samsung and the Sony are great options for their price. I would recommend you go to an offline store and listen to both. put simply, the Samsung can get louder, while the Sony has surround speakers, so those can be factors you consider before buying.

Nice review. Lg sp8a or yas 209. Sp8a is feature rich but no idea how it translate in real world. Some are sayng yamaha is better.some are saying yamaha is half of sp8a. Requirement is, Not very big room( not square its l shape room). Sound clarity and separation matters most. Yamaha is not available for testing physically. Please advise . Both comes in same price. Going to use for longtime.

[@IdiotBox86]

I think for your requirement, the Yamaha should do a better job. It is a great soundbar for the price.

@@IdiotBox86 Hi, I got the yamaha yas 209 and it's pretty neat. But whenever I connect my PS5 via soundbar to tv, I face screen flickering and blackout even. Did u face that?

I don’t connect the PS5 to the tv via the port on the soundbar. I connect it directly to the tv and use the soundbar via ARC for audio.

[@vivekkolasani]

Hi Sameer, I recently got a 65-inch LG B2 and the down firing 20W stereo speakers are just meh. I primarily want to watch movies on BluRay, and they often have 5.1 or 7.1 mix. The soundbar will be used in a 200sqft room with no possibility to run wires and the couch is against the wall, and I don't know where I'd place surround speakers. The store I purchased the TV from are offering the LG SC9S soundbar for 30k. I also see the Philips Soundbar TAB8947 for a similar price point on Amazon right now. Will the LG be as good as the other options you mentioned in this video?

[@anuragmeshram4323]

The lg bar you're talking about is tuned by meridian and as much as I've heard, the sound quality of that thing is mind boggling. It also gives you that virtual surround effect. Philips on the other hand doesn't provide all this. My suggestion would be to go with lg as you've got a lg tv too and the soundbar itself is magnificent. Why not just go to the store and ask them for a demo of the soundbar

[@IdiotBox86]

The LG soundbar will be a good option for you!

[@chittaranjanpradhan9920]

I am using LG SC9S for a week now. Got it at 28k from Reliance Store with 2k card discount. For movies it's simply brilliant. For songs too it's very good, but in some songs you may find that bass is little less. The clarity and quality of bass is superb. There is ambiguity if Meredian has tuned it or not. This has not mentioned in the bar nor in LG's site, but has been mentioned in LG sales broucher. In older model SP8A, meredian is mentioned in the bar itself. Since 9S is 2023 model with 3 upper firing speakers, I went for that.

[@puskarghosh]

Would you please let me know if any sound bar with wireless surround back from Yamaha?

[@IdiotBox86]

Unfortunately, nope. Yamaha has a bunch of home theatres in a box available, but no soundbar with surround speakers.

[@pramitroy11]

Sony ht s20r vs JBL bar 2.1 deep bass which one would be better for watching movies? Please reply. You're doing great work 👍

[@IdiotBox86]

Thanks! It depends on your use case. If you want rear surround speakers, then go for the Sony. If you just want to enhance the sound from your TV then you can consider the JBL. But remember that the Sony has rear wired speakers that all connect to the subwoofer. Also, for the best effects from the Sony, the rear speakers should be at ear height about 4-6 feet away from your ears facing you. Once again, I recommend going to an offline store and experiencing them before making a purchase decision.

Obage 100 2.1 watt Should i skip buying any and get apple tv to use homepod?

[@IdiotBox86]

Hi, thanks for the comment. IN terms of the TV, I think you should go with the X90L. You will be very happy. It is fairly important to have a soundbar especially if you want a good cinematic experience. I would say, you can hold off on a soundbar till you increase your budget as the X90L deserves something that packs a bigger punch. But if you want one recommendation from your list, go for the G700. HomePod is great but a dedicated soundbar is better

[@mayankkumar-do7qf]

@@IdiotBox86 thank you! I can wait and get sound bar later on as i can still connect my other two speakers temporarily. What would be your recommendation on sound-bar which is better than g700 in every aspect?

[@IdiotBox86]

@@mayankkumar-do7qf Depends on multiple things. The size of the room and the type of content you consume is most important. Also, how important is surround sound? in that case you should consider something with rear speakers. Since a soundbar is not something people upgrade often, makes sense to save up and get something better or even something that's modular. you can check out my video of best soundbar under 50K which covers modular soundbars.

Hi Sameer , great reviewing the sound bars but what soundbar should an individual opt for 4K content consuming?

[@IdiotBox86]

4K content caters to the visuals only. You should look at support for the audio. If, for example, you buy a Dolby Atmos soundbar, then the content you consume must be in Dolby Atmos to take advantage of the features on the soundbar. Depending on your budget and type of content you like to consume, I can recommend a good soundbar for your needs.
