And you can also score a solid deal on a soundbar if you shop around.

The Klipsch Cinema 400 made our list of the best soundbars for 2023 as the best option under $300. It's a 2.1-channel setup with 400 watts of power, and it comes with a powerful 8-inch wireless subwoofer. It boasts impressive sound quality and an eye-catching design, but doesn't support Dolby Atmos and has only one HDMI input.

Samsung

This 3.1-channel LG soundbar is a solid, simple setup and includes the basic components -- a soundbar and wireless subwoofer. It delivers 400 watts of sound, and connects to your TV through an HDMI port, or wirelessly over Bluetooth. It also features Meridian audio technology that upmixes high and low frequencies separately for a more crisp, immersive sound profile.

TCL

This TCL system is a two-piece 2.1.2 channel setup that includes the soundbar as well as a wireless subwoofer. It features Dolby Atmos support and has preset sound modes for movies, TV, music and watching at night. It won't compete with the sound quality of the pricier soundbars above, but is still an easy and budget-friendly way to improve on your TV's audio.
