Soundbars are perhaps one of the best ways to improve your sound quality coming from your television. Whether you're watching the next biggest movie or your new favourite series, soundbars can be a brilliant way to enhance your experience.

That being said, soundbars can be expensive but you don't have to splash the cash to get an enhanced experience when you watch your favourite shows.

The range of soundbars have massively expanded in recent years and there's amazing prices to be had on popular brands such as Bose, Panasonic and more.

We've had a look at some of the cheapest soundbars you can get without needing to spend tons of money but also what you need to know about soundbars, so you can make an informed purchase.

What you need to know about soundbars in 2023

Soundbars are typically slim and long speakers that sit at the bottom of your television and provides a volume and depth boost to the show or film you are watching.

With televisions getting thinner each year, they can lack the sound needed to give you an amazing experience when you watch that 4K film. It may look good but the sound could be far better.

Soundbars exist to improve the sound, with modern soundbars come in all shapes, sizes, and prices. The spectrum of quality you can get from a soundbar ranges from basic improvements to bass and overall soundstage to the type of room-filling sound you might expect from a more traditional home theatre audio system.

Some soundbars come on their own while others come with a subwoofer, however adding a subwoofer will be more expensive.
