You do not know what you're talking about. The $50 no name soundbar from Walmart might not be an improvement but soundbars from Sonos (and others) are MAJOR upgrades.
A surround sound system will likely sound better (again not the $100 combo pack from Walmart) but requires placing speakers in the proper places...which most people do not even do
Even a no name sound bar from Walmart will be a major improvement.
Maybe... I've heard some absolutely awful soundbars. They trade sound quality for volume
Somewhat related: I think the Sony and Samsung ones are an upgrade but that's a low bar and they sound like shit for the price.
I haven't heard on all, but the Sonos Arc/Beam/Playbar are the only (all-in-one) soundbars I've heard that I would say sound great.
Why did someone downvote you? I don't understand Lemmy users.
I don't place my speakers in the right spots, but luckily (like Sonos and others) room correction software really helps with this. Especially after A1Evo.
Soundbars are a great solution really, I never understood the negativity towards them. It's all I recommend to my friends as I know they are unable to comprehend what a receiver is and then what speakers to get and let's not go into subs.
