Onkyo has also included a generous six HDMI 2.0 inputs and a single HDMI output for further connectivity, while the rear-panel USB port allows for accessing music from a USB flash drive. The HT-S3700 is fairly basic, but its primary strength is its use of high-resolution audio processing for excellent sound output. If sound quality on a budget is your primary concern, this home theater system is a very good choice.

He also holds certifications with ISF, RTI, HAA, Elan, and Universal Remote, and other automated home systems are also available.

The Bose Lifestyle 525 Series II offers top-notch performance and convenience for those willing to pay the price. Even on sale, this home theater system is typically around $2,000 but it uses high-quality components and technology to ensure the best sound performance for your home theater.

A single HDMI output is included, as well as a front-panel USB port to easily play music from a USB flash drive. The Panasonic SC-BTT465 home theater system offers good sound quality for the money and all the smart content most modern consumers want. The 5.1 channel speaker setup includes a wireless subwoofer and two tallboy speakers, which offer the primary advantage of not needing additional stands or wall mounts.

Our CTA-2010 measurements showed that its output averaged 107.8 dB in the mid-bass, but the output was unmeasurable at 25 and 20 Hz, so we couldn’t calculate a low bass average. That’s acceptable bass performance for a small living room or bedroom, but for a larger space, we recommend stepping up to something bigger. If you want a soundbar at a similar price with more bass , check out our previous budget pick, the JBL Bar 2.1 Deep Bass. “This one sounds really clear,” one panelist said when we compared under-$300 models. The remote that accompanies the M-Series Elevate is the same one Vizio has been offering for a few years now, with a backlit alphanumeric display at the top.

The unit offers built-in WiFi, Bluetooth, support for Blu-ray discs and 3D content, and the ability to access online apps for streaming music, movies, and more. Image and sound quality are both good for the money, and the included remote control is easy to use. Overall, this home theater system is a good choice for those who want simplicity and ease-of-use. The subwoofer is just as big a star as the soundbar in this system, producing powerful, floor-shaking bass when the depth charges went off in U-571, and strong deep bass notes when we played pop and R&B tunes. This subwoofer doesn’t boom annoyingly like a cheap soundbar sub—it has the punch and clarity of a small dedicated subwoofer. (The woofer size isn’t specified, but it appears to be about 8 inches in diameter.) Our CTA-2010 measurements showed that its output averaged 114.2 dB in the mid-bass and 95.1 dB in the low bass.

Nakamichi’s Shockwafe Ultra 9.2 is less a soundbar option and more a home theater system that omits the separate AV receiver. In our tests, its dynamic output was fantastic for larger rooms, and its low-end presence was great. High frequencies were a little muted—not quite as crisp, clear, and airy—so this system didn’t perform as well on music. The Vizio V51-H6 carries an amazingly low price for a 5.1 soundbar, and it had excellent dialogue reproduction and a big, enveloping sound in our tests. But because it uses basically the same tiny subwoofer as the V21-H8, the crossover frequency between the soundbar and the subwoofer is very high. And because the rear surround speakers had to be connected to the subwoofer, we needed to position the subwoofer in the back of the room—as a result, we heard bass and lower midrange notes coming from behind us, which drove us crazy.

It has four buttons that access different control menus , and each of those offers several control functions—so it’s much more complicated to operate than almost any other soundbar remote. However, it’s also more powerful, allowing adjustment of the different channel levels , tone controls, and sound modes . Two HDMI inputs and a single HDMI output are included, and the system is capable of video upconversion to ensure your content matches the HD capabilities of most modern TVs. For the money, this home theater system offers a tremendous about of performance and features. A soundbar, subwoofer and two powerful rear speakers create an authentic cinema experience. The Vizio M512a-H6 is our former also-great pick, and still probably the best bet if you want an under-$500 soundbar that includes surround speakers.

Many soundbars offer voice-enhancement modes to improve dialogue clarity, but do they really work? We tested the soundbars in front of a listening panel, concealing the identities of the soundbars to eliminate bias.

DTV Installations also caters to businesses, and it serves the entire metro and surrounding neighborhoods, including parts of New Jersey and Connecticut.

The DTS format creates dynamic surround sound, bringing movies and music to life. The S95QR includes wireless, Atmos-enabled surround speakers that plug into an AC wall outlet. The S95QR has two HDMI inputs, along with an HDMI eARC port; the only other input is an optical digital input.

The Bose Smart Soundbar 300 sounds very clear, natural, and enveloping with movies and music, but for a one-piece soundbar with no Atmos capability, it’s expensive. The remote control is simple and straightforward, with all controls clearly labeled and no menu system to fuss with. It provides dedicated buttons for all of the inputs and sound modes, plus a Clear Voice dialogue enhancement and Bass Extension buttons, neither of which seemed to do much. One nice advantage of the MagniFi Mini over most more costly models is that it’s simple to operate. In what seems like a radical ergonomic revolution these days—but should really be nothing more than common sense—the top-mounted controls have raised white labels against a black background, so they’re easy to see in the dark. The same for the remote, which lets you access all of the soundbar’s adjustments directly, instead of requiring you to navigate a menu system that’s been abbreviated and encrypted to fit onto a four-character front-panel display.

Additional components such as TiVo, Blu-Ray, Apple TV, and AV receivers can also be connected, and the owner previously ran the Product Management function at home theater equipment distributor ADI. This system offers good overall sound quality, while video upconversion and I/P noise reduction contributes to solid video quality as well. Built-in WiFi allows for streaming online content from Netflix, Pandora, and more, while Bluetooth streaming and DLNA file sharing are included as well. This system supports 3D content provided that you have a 3D-capable television. The Sony HT-A3000 is a pricey one-piece bar to which you can add a subwoofer and surround speakers. We tried it with and without the sub and surrounds, but didn’t like the sound either way—dialogue tended to have a boxy character, as if actors were speaking into cardboard boxes, and the vocals in music sounded buried in the mix.
