Do you feel like you’re missing out on some of your home entertainment experience? If you’re only using your TV speakers, it probably is. Televisions tend to broadcast sound from the back, so not only do you get reflected sound, but it’s not as full as it could be. This Topvision sound bar — $46 wild right now, down from $100 — is the solution you didn’t know you were looking for. It creates a 3D soundscape that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the action.

Why is this a good deal?
Um… It is $46! That’s less than the cost of dining out. If you look for other sound bars of this quality, you will pay a little more. A quick search shows that a basic Bose soundbar can be as expensive as $280, and a budget-friendly Philips soundbar can be as expensive as $88.

Why do I need this?
Let’s start talking about the features. There are three EQ, or balanced, modes on this soundbar. That means three different positions to determine how sound should be directed. Music may require a more balanced output, while films will place more emphasis on dialogue and sound effects. The three options with the Topvision are music, movies and news.
The sound bar works with Bluetooth and can support both wired and wireless connections. It uses two speakers to fill a room with sound. And when we say room filling, we mean room filling – it creates unique stereo-like effects, giving the illusion of full surround sound without the need for other speakers. It is especially effective when placed in a small room (compared to a huge space).
Perhaps the most important aspect of this soundbar is how easy it is to set up. You can pair it with your mobile phone to play music, and you can plug the auxiliary and RCA inputs into the TV. You don’t need to be an audio expert to connect this puppy; it’s basically plug-and-play. This shopper can attest: “This sound bar is a winner. Great sound for small to medium sized rooms. Quick and easy setup.”
This sound bar is on the smaller side (it’s less than 2 feet long), which may make it seem less powerful – but don’t let its size fool you. Big things come in small packages.
What critics say:
“Small sound bar, big sound!” said another user. “I’ve been using this in our kitchen, and it’s awesome. Yes, it’s on the smaller side, but it’s the sound quality that sets it apart from others. Big bass and treble. And the t -remote you control it from other people. rooms.”
One shopper said, “I live in a fairly small house and wanted something with a bit more volume. I have a hard time listening and usually have subtitles on TV speakers that don’t have sound bar depth. better than it was I expect it. If you live in a smaller space and need a little more volume equalizer sound, this is the one for you.”
“This is a great little soundbar. Nice sound! I got it for a temporary setup with my projector, but it sounds so good I’m not changing it,” wrote another reviewer.
