Ports & Connections

Even though it is a mid range soundbar, it comes with all the ports and connections you need to connect with any devices.

You can connect the TV in three ways and you can choose the mode you prefer. If you are a wireless person, then pair it with your bluetooth enabled TV.

Which is the best soundbar under 10000?

As of 2020, Boat Aavante Bar 1700D is the overall best soundbar under 10000 in India. But for any reason if you choose not to go with Boat, then Blaupunkt SBW200 or Philips 1000 Series HTL1045 are also good options.

Is Soundbar better than speakers?

If you have a large room, then a speaker is better because of its large amplifiers. But if you have medium to small sized rooms, then a soundbar is more than enough to give you an immersive experience. 

But developments in soundbar technology are advancing at a very fast pace and in future sound bars may completely take over speaker systems.

Do I need a subwoofer with soundbar?

No, it is not necessary to have a sub woofer with a soundbar. There are many soundbars available in the market without sub woofers and produce great audio quality.

How many watts is a good sound bar?

It totally depends on your room size. If you have a very small room, then a soundbar with less than 100 watts is more than enough. For average sized rooms, 100 to 200 watts is ideal and for very large rooms or halls will need 300+ watts soundbars.

What is the best soundbar without subwoofer?

As of 2020, JBL Cinema SB110 Soundbar is one of the best soundbar without an external subwoofer under 10000 rs price range. If you can extend your budget, then you can go for models from premium brands like Yamaha YAS-109 or Bose Solo 5 TV soundbar.
