Soundbars & Subwoofers

Upgrade your television audio with our range of soundbars and subwoofers from leading audio brands including Sonos and Sony. Whether you want clearer dialogue for everyday TV, more immersive sound for films or powerful bass for music and gaming, a soundbar can transform your home entertainment experience.

Choose from compact TV soundbars, Dolby Atmos soundbars and soundbar and subwoofer systems, as well as dedicated subwoofers for compatible audio setups. With options for different room sizes, televisions and budgets, it's easy to find a sound system that suits the way you watch and listen.

Soundbars for Better TV Sound

A soundbar for your TV is one of the simplest ways to improve your home entertainment audio. Designed to sit neatly beneath or close to your television, soundbars provide dedicated speakers for dialogue, soundtracks, music and effects without requiring a traditional multi-speaker system around your room.

Compact soundbars are particularly useful where space is limited, while larger and more advanced models can provide additional speakers, audio processing and surround sound technologies for a more immersive experience.

Dolby Atmos Soundbars

A Dolby Atmos soundbar can add an extra dimension to compatible films, programmes, music and games. Dolby Atmos is designed to create a greater sense of space around the listener, including the perception of sound coming from above when used with compatible content and equipment.

Dolby Atmos performance varies between soundbars depending on their speaker configuration, processing and your room. Check the individual product specifications to compare supported audio formats and features.

Soundbars with Subwoofers

For greater low-frequency impact, consider a soundbar with a subwoofer. A dedicated subwoofer is designed to reproduce bass frequencies, adding greater depth and impact to film soundtracks, music, sporting events and games.

Some soundbar systems are supplied with a separate subwoofer, while selected soundbars can be expanded by adding a compatible wireless subwoofer separately. Always check compatibility before combining different audio components.

Sonos & Sony Soundbars

Our collection includes Sonos and Sony soundbars, giving you a choice of compact and more advanced TV audio solutions. Depending on the model, features can include wireless connectivity, smart functionality and support for immersive audio formats.

Sonos systems also provide options for building an expandable home audio setup using compatible speakers and subwoofers, while Sony offers a variety of soundbar configurations designed to complement modern televisions and home cinema setups.

Choosing the Right Soundbar for Your TV

When choosing a new soundbar, consider the size of your television and room, the space available around your TV and the type of entertainment you enjoy. A compact soundbar may be ideal for straightforward everyday TV listening, while a more advanced model can be better suited to films and immersive home cinema.

Connectivity is also important. Depending on the product, soundbars can offer connections such as HDMI ARC, HDMI eARC or optical digital audio, alongside wireless options. Check your television's available connections and the specifications of your chosen soundbar to ensure compatibility.

Dedicated Subwoofers for Deeper Bass

A wireless subwoofer can be an excellent addition to a compatible soundbar or home audio system if you want deeper, more powerful bass. Because a dedicated subwoofer handles low frequencies separately, it can add extra impact without requiring your soundbar to reproduce the entire frequency range itself.

Browse our range of soundbars and subwoofers from Sonos and Sony and find the right combination of sound quality, connectivity and features for your home entertainment setup.

Frequently Asked Questions About Soundbars & Subwoofers

What does a soundbar do?

A soundbar is a dedicated speaker system designed primarily to improve the audio from your television. It can provide clearer dialogue, greater volume and a wider sound experience than relying solely on a TV's built-in speakers. More advanced soundbars can also support surround sound and immersive audio technologies.

Do I need a subwoofer with a soundbar?

No, a subwoofer isn't essential. Many soundbars are designed to work effectively on their own. However, adding a compatible subwoofer can provide deeper and more powerful bass, which can make films, music and games feel more immersive.

What is the difference between a soundbar and a soundbar with a subwoofer?

A standalone soundbar handles the audio itself, including bass frequencies. A soundbar and subwoofer combination separates much of the low-frequency sound and sends it to the dedicated subwoofer. This can provide deeper bass and greater impact, particularly when watching films or listening to music.

What is Dolby Atmos on a soundbar?

Dolby Atmos is an immersive audio format designed to create a more three-dimensional sound experience. Compatible soundbars can use dedicated speakers, acoustic reflections or audio processing to create a greater sense of sound surrounding the listener. Compatible content and equipment are required.

How do I connect a soundbar to my TV?

Many modern soundbars connect using HDMI ARC or eARC, allowing compatible televisions to send audio to the soundbar through an HDMI cable. Optical digital audio is another common connection. The appropriate method depends on the connections available on both your television and soundbar.

What is the difference between HDMI ARC and HDMI eARC?

ARC stands for Audio Return Channel and enables compatible televisions to send audio to a soundbar through HDMI. eARC is an enhanced version offering greater bandwidth and support for additional high-quality audio formats when used with compatible equipment. Both your television and soundbar need to support the relevant technology.

Can I use a soundbar for music?

Yes. Many soundbars can be used for both TV audio and music. Depending on the model, you may be able to stream music using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or compatible music services and devices. Check the specifications of the individual soundbar for its available music and wireless features.

Can I add a subwoofer to any soundbar?

No. Subwoofer compatibility depends on the soundbar and manufacturer. Some soundbars are designed to connect wirelessly to specific compatible subwoofers, while others cannot be expanded in this way. Always check the manufacturer's compatibility information before purchasing a separate subwoofer.

Where should I put a subwoofer?

A subwoofer can often be positioned more flexibly than a soundbar because low-frequency sounds are less directional. However, its position within the room can affect how the bass sounds. Manufacturer recommendations are a useful starting point, and you may find that trying several suitable positions helps you achieve the best result in your room.

What size soundbar should I buy?

Your soundbar doesn't have to match the exact width of your television. Consider the available space on your TV stand or beneath a wall-mounted television, as well as your room size and required features. Checking the soundbar's dimensions before ordering will help ensure it fits comfortably into your setup.
