Sound Bars: Which ones work the best?

[23]

Im looking at these here as I figured I might want one with a wireless sub


1. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-HW-E45...=operasport-20


2. http://www.amazon.com/LG-NB3520A-Sou...=operasport-20

3. http://www.amazon.com/Sharp-HTSB600-...=operasport-20


Or If you know any ones as good or better...what do you say?

I dont know alot about these things and I know they wont sound as great as the bose systems, but I have a pair of PX5s headphones for a 7.1 type experience playing games, Im okay with that... the room it'll be in isnt too huge anyway

Help me out fellas!

Funny you just posted that.

I just downgraded from a Onkyo 5.1 surround system to the LG soundbar you posted. I moved in with my fiance so I have alot less room than I had before. The LG is pretty good. The bass is strong enough if you are in a medium sized room. I'd even argue that its decent for a big room. I bought two. One for my office and one for the living room and the one in the living room sounds good. Decent bass and good mid and high range.

I bought a Sony soundbar before the LG one and returned it because the mid range was horrible. It was especially bad on sports video games where the crowd sounded like it was in a tunnel. If you dont get the LG, I would go with the Sammy if you want to stay in the 200-300 price range.

Yeah I dont want to spend too much, just want to know how good is the simulated surround on these things?

I wouldn't mind going with the LG system, especially since its not on the high end of what I want to spend.

Does yours hook up via optical cable or hdmi?

I'd go with the Sammy. It's the sweet spot in terms of price and number of inputs. You only get optical on the LG.

I am curious as to how good those wireless subs are.

Only have experience with the LG one out of all of these but I think that's a really good sound bar for the price. My friend has no complaints with it and I think it goes perfectly in his medium size living room in a townhouse with raised ceilings. His favorite feature is the wireless subwoofer because his wife wanted no wires.

Not sure if it's the same model you linked, but one of my friends has a Samsung sound bar and he loves it. I've been thinking about getting one myself for awhile now, just haven't pulled the trigger.

Optical. No HDMI.

Pulled the trigger on the LG

Hard to pass up for that price..had a gift certificate I've been holding for months and amazon prime so it cost me nothing

Just got the TV the TV stand and now this...the recliner is last and the major game room stuff is complete

I was reading up on a bunch of stuff about gdmi vs optical which I like and HDMI gives more of a loss less audio transfer but I wasn't exactly looking for a Bose system. I love as stated above that the sub is wireless...can't wait to play 2k with this stuff..oh and sleeping dogs
