Hiding ugly speaker wire in the nooks and crannies of your living room was part of the price you paid for the best possible sound.&lt;/p>&lt;p>Thankfully, that era is long gone. Brands like &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bestproducts.com/tech/electronics/g62503257/best-sonos-speakers/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;>Sonos&lt;/a>, Sony, and Vizio have developed wireless surround sound systems that sound clean, with intuitive setup and controls. Some brands, like Samsung, make &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/a30784219/best-sound-bars/&quot;>soundbars&lt;/a> that bring every ounce of audio prowess that comparable wired setups can offer.

I’ve written about everything from noise-canceling headphones to soundbars for publications like &lt;em>Reviewed&lt;/em>, &lt;em>Digital Trends&lt;/em>, &lt;em>IGN,&lt;/em> and more. I’ve tested all kinds of soundbars and surround sound systems from brands like Sony, Klipsch, Vizio, and Sonos.&lt;/blockquote>&lt;h2 class=&quot;body-h2&quot;>What to Consider in a Wireless Surround Sound System&lt;/h2>&lt;h3 class=&quot;body-h3&quot;>There Are Still (Some) Wires&lt;/h3>&lt;p>All wireless surround systems share a dirty little secret: Technically, most of them require a &lt;em>few&lt;/em> cables. Their “wireless” title specifically refers to the fact that you don’t need to run speaker wire from a primary speaker or amplifier to the satellite speakers around your space.&lt;/p>&lt;p>At minimum, your speakers need power, so you’ll need to plug them in. Most systems also require you to connect the primary speaker (often a soundbar) to your TV or monitor via an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/g36356005/best-hdmi-cables/&quot;>HDMI cable&lt;/a>.&lt;/p>&lt;p>Going wireless cuts the hardest work out of the setup process, but it’s worth keeping in mind that you may need to do a little planning and decor rearranging to get your system in place. The good news is that the vast majority of systems’ components will automatically pair with each other as soon as they are connected to power, making them as close to “plug and play” as possible.&lt;/p>&lt;h3 class=&quot;body-h3&quot;>Speaker Channels and Configurations&lt;/h3>&lt;p>Speaker systems are defined by their configuration, which indicates the number of speaker positions in the set and how they’re arranged. The most basic speaker set up is a 2.1 “stereo” system, with left and right speakers (“2”), and a subwoofer (“1”).&lt;/p>&lt;p>The numbering system comes with an important caveat: Most home theater audio systems, surround sound or not, revolve around a soundbar with many speaker channels, or the ability to replicate multiple speakers inside a single piece of hardware. The basic soundbar usually sets up a 3.1 system–left and right stereo speaker channels, plus a central channel to enhance dialogue (that’s “3”), and a subwoofer (“1”). Many premium systems feature large soundbars with 5 or even 7 speaker channels.&lt;/p>&lt;p>For a true surround sound system, however, a soundbar alone will not suffice. You need at least two rear satellite speakers, which you place behind you. That allows your speakers to simulate sound coming from any direction. We recommend looking for 5.1-channel setup or higher–most systems that size feature rear speakers. More powerful 7.1-channel systems add side speaker channels (often within the sidebar) to create a more balanced, immersive experience, and some high-end systems go even further, adding more channels to add further nuance.&lt;/p>&lt;p>Lastly, keep in mind that several soundbar brands, including Sony, Sennheiser, and Sonos make soundbar-based surround sound systems that do not come with physical rear or side speakers. While these systems are effective, we prefer the accuracy and targeted directionality of surround sound systems with physical rear speakers.&lt;/p>&lt;p>Unless you care deeply about sound or want to build a proper screening room, I’d say that most home setups will get the most out of upgrading to a 5.1-channel system. That gives you a full surround sound experience with more power, precision, and audio clarity than you get from your TV speakers.&lt;/p>&lt;h3 class=&quot;body-h3&quot;>Subwoofer&lt;/h3>&lt;p>Not every speaker system comes with a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/g36276721/best-home-theater-subwoofers/&quot;>subwoofer&lt;/a>, but it’s an essential component of any good home theater audio setup. They add power and depth to your bass, which is critical if you want to feel the boom of an explosion in your favorite action movie or the heart-pounding footsteps of a T-Rex in a classic like &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Jurassic-Park-Ultra-Blu-ray-Digital/dp/B09VLF6RMV&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;>&lt;em>Jurassic Park&lt;/em>&lt;/a>. If you purchase a smaller system or a soundbar that doesn’t come with one, you can purchase a wireless subwoofer separately.&lt;/p>&lt;h3 class=&quot;body-h3&quot;>Surround Sound Formats (Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus)&lt;/h3>&lt;p>In addition to the speaker hardware, it’s important to make sure that your surround sound system supports an audio format that optimizes your content for the right speaker configuration. All systems should work with just about any device via standard surround sound format, but most modern systems also support more advanced formats like Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, which enhance how your devices’ audio is encoded, decoded, and distributed.&lt;/p>&lt;h3 class=&quot;body-h3&quot;>Spatial Audio (Dolby Atmos and DTS)&lt;/h3>&lt;p>In addition to standard surround sound formats, many systems support spatial or “3D” audio technology, which simulates the sensation of hearing sound from directions other than directly from your speakers, including above and below you. It works best with highly immersive experiences like video games, but 4K Blu-Rays and some content on streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max support the two major spatial audio formats, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.&lt;/p>&lt;p>Spatial audio is still very much a luxury, and comes in a few flavors. Technically speaking, a fully furnished spatial system should include a ceiling-mounted speaker that projects sound down directly. Most home surround sound systems don’t have this, though, since it would be both expensive and difficult to set up.&lt;/p>&lt;p>Instead, high-end systems have either two or four upward-firing drivers that bounce sound off the ceiling. (Speaker configurations with dedicated up-firing speakers will have a third number, like 3.1.2 or 5.1.4.) Systems with two spatial speakers usually build them into the soundbar. If present, the third and fourth usually show up on the satellites.&lt;/p>&lt;p>Spatial audio support is rapidly expanding, though often via software that simulates the effect digitally, rather than using physical speakers. As with virtual surround sound to replicate satellite speakers, these solutions are often pretty good, but aren’t as nuanced or impactful as systems with physical speakers that bounce sounds off your ceiling and back towards you.&lt;/p>&lt;p>Unless you’re building your setup around gaming or, again, want a pro-grade screening experience, it’s best not to sweat spatial audio too much. It’s an exciting addition, but won’t impact everything you watch.&lt;/p>&lt;h3 class=&quot;body-h3&quot;>Bluetooth and Wi-Fi&lt;/h3>&lt;p>Many wireless soundbars can stream audio wirelessly via Bluetooth, which makes it easy to stream music or podcasts from a phone or tablet. Some high-end systems will also connect to your home Wi-Fi, which offers a more stable connection and better audio quality.&lt;/p>&lt;p>I recommend looking specifically for a Wi-Fi-enabled system if you’re planning to integrate your system into a smart home setup or a multi-room speaker system that plays music throughout your home. Depending on the system and the paired device, a Bluetooth connection may get less stable in crowded environments with lots of Bluetooth signals, which could lead to decreased audio quality in your speakers.&lt;/p>&lt;p>Keep in mind: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity are made for streaming audio, not video. Technically, you could pair your surround sound system to a TV wirelessly, but the results would be just short of unwatchable.&lt;/p>&lt;h3 class=&quot;body-h3&quot;>App Control&lt;/h3>&lt;p>Some manufacturers make companion mobile apps for their systems, allowing you to adjust sound settings, create audio presets, and connect additional speakers via your phone or tablet. These are handy for users who like to tinker with the mix on their system, or create settings for different audio experiences.&lt;/p>&lt;h3 class=&quot;body-h3&quot;>Simple Installation&lt;/h3>&lt;p>Since the main benefit of a wireless system is easy installation, it’s important that the system setup is actually quick and intuitive. I always look for clear instructions, easy pairing and preferably a companion app to help walk me through the process.&lt;/p>&lt;h2 class=&quot;body-h2&quot;>How We Selected The Best Wireless Surround Systems&lt;/h2>&lt;p>I selected the best wireless surround systems based on a combination of hands-on testing and comprehensive research into the most highly rated models on the market. Over the years, I’ve had opportunities to test a wide array of systems at home, including the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-11-1-4ch-Q-Symphony-HW-Q990D-ZA/dp/B0CTKV9DRP?th=1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;>Samsung HW-Q990D&lt;/a> and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/premium-immersive-set-arc-ultra-sub-era-100-pair-black&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;>Sonos Premium Immersive Set&lt;/a>. I test my systems by listening and watching lots of different kinds of content–some of my favorite music, movies and TV shows–to assess their audio performance, ease of use, and versatility.&lt;/p>&lt;p>In addition to testing, I thoroughly researched the latest models, considering expert reviews, user feedback, and each soundbar’s specifications. I looked for systems that excelled in areas like Dolby Atmos support, connectivity options, and audio clarity, ensuring a mix of high-quality picks for different preferences and budgets.&lt;/p>"/><meta name="sailthru.tags" content="technology,New Technology,audio,Audio,gadget-reviews,Gadget Reviews,product-reviews,Best Product Reviews of 2024,Popular Mechanics-US"/><meta

8 Best Wireless Surround Sound Systems Put You in The Middle of The Action","articleBody":"There was an era in the evolution of home audio where choosing a wireless surround system over traditional wired speakers was an act of compromise. Hiding ugly speaker wire in the nooks and crannies of your living room was part of the price you paid for the best possible sound.Thankfully, that era is long gone. Brands like Sonos, Sony, and Vizio have developed wireless surround sound systems that sound clean, with intuitive setup and controls. Some brands, like Samsung, make soundbars that bring every ounce of audio prowess that comparable wired setups can offer. The best wireless surround sound systems are leading the way to a less cluttered, more powerful home theater experience.The Best Wireless Surround Sound SystemsBest Overall: Sonos Premium Immersive SetBest Value: Vizio 5.1 Soundbar SE Surround Sound SystemBest Non-Soundbar System: Sony Bravia Theater Quad Surround Sound SystemBest 3.1 System: LG SC9S 3.1.3 Surround Sound SystemBest 5.1 System: Vizio Elevate 5.1.4 Surround Sound SystemThe Expert: I’m a freelance journalist and technology critic with extensive experience covering audio gear, including speakers and headphones. I’ve written about everything from noise-canceling headphones to soundbars for publications like Reviewed, Digital Trends, IGN, and more. I’ve tested all kinds of soundbars and surround sound systems from brands like Sony, Klipsch, Vizio, and Sonos.What to Consider in a Wireless Surround Sound SystemThere Are Still (Some) WiresAll wireless surround systems share a dirty little secret: Technically, most of them require a few cables. Their “wireless” title specifically refers to the fact that you don’t need to run speaker wire from a primary speaker or amplifier to the satellite speakers around your space.At minimum, your speakers need power, so you’ll need to plug them in. Most systems also require you to connect the primary speaker (often a soundbar) to your TV or monitor via an HDMI cable.Going wireless cuts the hardest work out of the setup process, but it’s worth keeping in mind that you may need to do a little planning and decor rearranging to get your system in place. The good news is that the vast majority of systems’ components will automatically pair with each other as soon as they are connected to power, making them as close to “plug and play” as possible.Speaker Channels and ConfigurationsSpeaker systems are defined by their configuration, which indicates the number of speaker positions in the set and how they’re arranged. The most basic speaker set up is a 2.1 “stereo” system, with left and right speakers (“2”), and a subwoofer (“1”).The numbering system comes with an important caveat: Most home theater audio systems, surround sound or not, revolve around a soundbar with many speaker channels, or the ability to replicate multiple speakers inside a single piece of hardware. The basic soundbar usually sets up a 3.1 system–left and right stereo speaker channels, plus a central channel to enhance dialogue (that’s “3”), and a subwoofer (“1”). Many premium systems feature large soundbars with 5 or even 7 speaker channels.For a true surround sound system, however, a soundbar alone will not suffice. You need at least two rear satellite speakers, which you place behind you. That allows your speakers to simulate sound coming from any direction. We recommend looking for 5.1-channel setup or higher–most systems that size feature rear speakers. More powerful 7.1-channel systems add side speaker channels (often within the sidebar) to create a more balanced, immersive experience, and some high-end systems go even further, adding more channels to add further nuance.Lastly, keep in mind that several soundbar brands, including Sony, Sennheiser, and Sonos make soundbar-based surround sound systems that do not come with physical rear or side speakers. While these systems are effective, we prefer the accuracy and targeted directionality of surround sound systems with physical rear speakers.Unless you care deeply about sound or want to build a proper screening room, I’d say that most home setups will get the most out of upgrading to a 5.1-channel system. That gives you a full surround sound experience with more power, precision, and audio clarity than you get from your TV speakers.SubwooferNot every speaker system comes with a subwoofer, but it’s an essential component of any good home theater audio setup. They add power and depth to your bass, which is critical if you want to feel the boom of an explosion in your favorite action movie or the heart-pounding footsteps of a T-Rex in a classic like Jurassic Park. If you purchase a smaller system or a soundbar that doesn’t come with one, you can purchase a wireless subwoofer separately.Surround Sound Formats (Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus)In addition to the speaker hardware, it’s important to make sure that your surround sound system supports an audio format that optimizes your content for the right speaker configuration. All systems should work with just about any device via standard surround sound format, but most modern systems also support more advanced formats like Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, which enhance how your devices’ audio is encoded, decoded, and distributed.Spatial Audio (Dolby Atmos and DTS)In addition to standard surround sound formats, many systems support spatial or “3D” audio technology, which simulates the sensation of hearing sound from directions other than directly from your speakers, including above and below you. It works best with highly immersive experiences like video games, but 4K Blu-Rays and some content on streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max support the two major spatial audio formats, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.Spatial audio is still very much a luxury, and comes in a few flavors. Technically speaking, a fully furnished spatial system should include a ceiling-mounted speaker that projects sound down directly. Most home surround sound systems don’t have this, though, since it would be both expensive and difficult to set up.Instead, high-end systems have either two or four upward-firing drivers that bounce sound off the ceiling. (Speaker configurations with dedicated up-firing speakers will have a third number, like 3.1.2 or 5.1.4.) Systems with two spatial speakers usually build them into the soundbar. If present, the third and fourth usually show up on the satellites.Spatial audio support is rapidly expanding, though often via software that simulates the effect digitally, rather than using physical speakers. As with virtual surround sound to replicate satellite speakers, these solutions are often pretty good, but aren’t as nuanced or impactful as systems with physical speakers that bounce sounds off your ceiling and back towards you.Unless you’re building your setup around gaming or, again, want a pro-grade screening experience, it’s best not to sweat spatial audio too much. It’s an exciting addition, but won’t impact everything you watch.Bluetooth and Wi-FiMany wireless soundbars can stream audio wirelessly via Bluetooth, which makes it easy to stream music or podcasts from a phone or tablet. Some high-end systems will also connect to your home Wi-Fi, which offers a more stable connection and better audio quality.I recommend looking specifically for a Wi-Fi-enabled system if you’re planning to integrate your system into a smart home setup or a multi-room speaker system that plays music throughout your home. Depending on the system and the paired device, a Bluetooth connection may get less stable in crowded environments with lots of Bluetooth signals, which could lead to decreased audio quality in your speakers.Keep in mind: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity are made for streaming audio, not video. Technically, you could pair your surround sound system to a TV wirelessly, but the results would be just short of unwatchable.App ControlSome manufacturers make companion mobile apps for their systems, allowing you to adjust sound settings, create audio presets, and connect additional speakers via your phone or tablet. These are handy for users who like to tinker with the mix on their system, or create settings for different audio experiences.Simple InstallationSince the main benefit of a wireless system is easy installation, it’s important that the system setup is actually quick and intuitive. I always look for clear instructions, easy pairing and preferably a companion app to help walk me through the process.How We Selected The Best Wireless Surround SystemsI selected the best wireless surround systems based on a combination of hands-on testing and comprehensive research into the most highly rated models on the market. Over the years, I’ve had opportunities to test a wide array of systems at home, including the Samsung HW-Q990D and the Sonos Premium Immersive Set. I test my systems by listening and watching lots of different kinds of content–some of my favorite music, movies and TV shows–to assess their audio performance, ease of use, and versatility.In addition to testing, I thoroughly researched the latest models, considering expert reviews, user feedback, and each soundbar’s specifications. I looked for systems that excelled in areas like Dolby Atmos support, connectivity options, and audio clarity, ensuring a mix of high-quality picks for different preferences and budgets. Premium Immersive Set The Sonos Premium Immersive Set bundles a few of its speakers to create a power surround sound system: The new Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar puts nine speaker channels up front, a Sonos Sub 4 subwoofer brings the bass, and a pair of Sonos Era 100s act as your rear satellite speakers. The set is expensive, but combines cutting-edge technology, superior audio quality, and user-friendly design to create one of the most immersive home theater audio solutions you can bring home.The Arc Ultra soundbar is tremendous in its own right as a one-piece system. Its up-firing drivers and vast array of forward speakers (15 drivers in total) create a much larger, more immersive soundscape than you generally get from a soundbar. With surprisingly good bass and Atmos support, it brings all kinds of content to life in exceptional, perfectly balanced detail. Adding the subwoofer and satellite speakers takes the experience into the stratosphere. Don’t let the glossy aesthetic fool you: The Sub 4 is a monster, capable of creating a foundation-shaking low end in action movies like Blade Runner 2049, without overpowering the rest of the system. The Era 100s deliver the same clarity and detail found in the Arc, completing the home theater experience.Sonos systems, regardless of the configuration, come with a unique set of perks, too. The brand’s “Trueplay” tuning technology automatically optimizes sound for any room to make sure your home theater sounds its best. You also have the ability to sync your home theater speakers with other Sonos speakers throughout your house so your music can follow you wherever you go.The biggest downside of the Sonos experience is its sometimes-buggy app, a recent problem that has earned the company tons of bad publicity. If you can look past the possibility of some technical headaches, however, there isn’t a wireless surround sound system out there with the same output. 5.1 Soundbar SE Surround Sound System The Vizio 5.1 SE strips away (almost all) the bells and whistles to give you a simple, but clear surround sound system for less than $250. We say almost because Vizio’s latest and greatest budget system supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X virtual spatial audio, which is all but unheard of in this price range. The virtual version isn’t as impactful as having actual, dedicated height channels, but it’s a fantastic perk to take advantage of at this price. At this price, you’re giving up Wi-Fi connectivity, and the soundbar itself lacks an optical input that would be essential if you happen to have an older TV or projector. Still, having a complete system with a subwoofer, rear speakers and virtual 3D audio gives you a well-rounded home theater experience on a modest budget. Bravia Theater Quad Surround Sound System Sony’s Bravia Theater Quad is the only system in our guide that isn’t built around a soundbar. It features four speakers–two in front, two in back–with a whopping 16 drivers that generate an otherworldly home theater experience.The secret is Sony’s 360 Spatial Audio Mapping technology, a proprietary 3D audio technology that creates a simulated soundscape that emanates from up to 12 “phantom” speakers. While physical speakers usually trump this kind of virtual sound, the Theater Quad is an exception: The superior precision of the simulated speakers beats any simulated side-sound you’ll get from a soundbar-based 7.1 system. The positional simulation also gives you more flexibility in your setup. (For the best sound, place the forward speakers further away from your TV to create a wider, more cinematic soundstage.)The system doesn’t come with a dedicated subwoofer. Sony makes one, but it’s sold separately, making an expensive upgrade even more costly. Even without it, though, the Theater Quad delivers a remarkably well-balanced sound profile that handles both action-heavy sequences in movies like Godzilla vs. Kong and dialogue-driven shows like Grey’s Anatomy, with ease. SC9S 3.1.3 Surround Sound System If rear speakers do not fit into your living room setup, the LG SC9S is a powerful 3.1 system that feels luxurious in a field full of basic simulated surround sound systems. On the hardware side, it’s Dolby Atmos-ready, with three up-firing speakers built into the three-channel soundbar. Two distinct drivers in the center channel create higher clarity in dialogue from TV, film and podcasts. The SC9S also comes packed with soundscape-optimizing software features. Its “AI Sound Pro” setting automatically adjusts audio settings based on content type, whether you’re watching a movie, playing a game or listening to music. For audiophile listeners, it supports high-resolution audio formats, up to 24-bit/96kHz. Plus, when paired with a compatible LG TV, the soundbar will use the TV’s speakers to expand its soundstage, making it sound as if the audio is coming directly from the screen.There’s no substitute for rear satellite speakers, so I recommend going for a 5.1 or 7.1 system if you can. That said, the SC9S brings you a decent approximation without breaking the bank on a top-of-the-line soundbar. Elevate 5.1.4 Surround Sound System The Vizio Elevate 5.1.4 is a standout mind-range system with a unique design. The two up-firing speakers on the soundbar rotate, depending on the content you’re watching: When your content supports Dolby Atmos or DTS:X, they turn up to fire sound overhead, but face forward when there’s no spatial audio, so you get the full impact of the 18 speaker drivers in the soundbar.In terms of sound quality, the Elevate can sound pretty bass-heavy, especially during decibel-raising action scenes in your favorite multiversal superhero movie. You can use the settings to reign that back a bit, though. Once you dial it in, this is an impressive sound system that gives your home theater some serious punch in the audio department. HW-Q990D 11.1.4 Wireless Surround System The Samsung HW-Q990D is the most-recommended wireless sound system on the r/soundbars subreddit, and it’s easy to understand why. This maximalist home theater audio solution is packed to the brim with every feature that Samsung could think up to provide the most complete experience possible. Within that sea of features, the ability to wirelessly connect to a compatible Samsung TV without an HDMI cable, while still being able to deliver all of the sound formats promised by a wired connection, stands out as a great option for anyone who wants the most wire-free solution they can find. The set revolves around a do-it-all, nine-speaker soundbar that generates a highly customizable soundstage for music and movies. It can recreate the booming sensation you get from movie theater speakers at home: Its powerful wireless subwoofer can (safely) shake your home to the foundation, and four up-firing Dolby Atmos speakers create a fully immersive 3D soundscape. Plus, Samsung’s SpaceFit Sound Pro feature calibrates the system’s settings based on the size of your viewing space. The audio from movies like Dunkirk and Top Gun: Maverick sounded very close to matching my personal home theater setup, which features audiophile-grade tower speakers, satellites, and a beefy powered subwoofer. If there’s one blemish on the Q990D, it’s that the display on the soundbar is quite small and un-useful when making audio adjustments. You can get around that issue by using Samsung’s companion app, which allows you to adjust its settings on your phone. Beyond that, though, the Q990D is a high-powered, Dolby Atmos juggernaut of a surround sound system that promises to bring a theater-esque audio experience to your living room. It’s a great one-stop-shop alternative to the Sonos Immersive Set, and a downright no-brainer if you can snatch it up during one of Samsung’s seemingly routine sales. Bravia Theater Bar 9 The Bravia Theater Quad’s little brother uses the same spatial audio technology to simulate a five-speaker configuration from a single soundbar. With 13 speakers in the bar, including two up-firing units for spatial audio, the Bravia Theater Bar 9 simulates the sound of a complete surround sound setup deceptively well. It can't replicate a top-of-the-line system with the same immersion and precise audio placement as the Bravia Theater Quad, but it absolutely tricks your ears into thinking there are actual speakers above and behind you. Perhaps outside of the powerful (and much more expensive) Sennheiser Ambeo Max, there isn’t a soundbar on the market that can artificially approximate surround sound as well as the Bar 9.If virtual speakers aren’t your thing in a soundbar, you can use the Theater Bar 9 as the jump-off point for compiling a Bravia surround sound setup piece by piece. Add a SA-SW5 subwoofer and a pair of SA-RS3S rear speakers and you’ve got a full 5.1.2 system. Plus, Sony’s Acoustic Center Sync technology allows the system to pair with Sony Bravia TVs to make it seem like the audio from the Bar 9 is coming directly from the screen. The biggest downside to the Bar 9 lies in its lack of a physical display and pedestrian remote, meaning most of your audio adjustments will have to come via Sony’s accompanying app. That said, Sony’s virtually-boosted soundbar sounds great out of the box, so you may not need to fiddle with things much. Bar 9.1 If you’re upgrading your home theater with gaming in mind, you’ll want to look for a system that can get loud, puts out solid bass and features great spatial audio to immerse you in the world of your game. The modular JBL Bar 9.1 checks all those boxes, with an Atmos-forward 5.1.4 system. A hefty 10-inch wireless subwoofer delivers deep, punchy bass that boosts realism and ensures that low-frequency sounds are both clear and powerful to enhance big booming moments… Whether or not there’s a giant explosion.The Bar 9.1 lacks some nuance on the finer points of control–a limited number of EQ presets and settings don’t leave you with many options to customize your sound. It hits all the right notes when it counts, though, which in this case means loud, impactful sound that adds weight to every second of every game. FAQ With Home Theater Expert Nick Woodard Can a soundbar replace a full surround sound system?Short answer? No, it can’t. On its own, a soundbar can greatly enhance TV audio, and modern models often feature spatial audio technology to approximate surround sound, and simulate the effect of having speakers all around you. Ultimately, though, there is no replacement for having an actual speaker projecting sound from behind you. Even our top non-soundbar pick, the Sony Bravia Theater Quad, which relies heavily on simulated 3D sound, puts speakers around you in four directions so your audio naturally sounds like it’s coming from the front or the back.What Are ARC and eARC? How Do I Use Them? ARC (Audio Return Channel) is a feature of the HDMI connection that simplifies audio connectivity between your TV and external audio devices like soundbars or surround sound systems. With ARC, the same HDMI cable that sends video from your audio system to the TV can also carry audio from the TV back to the audio system. This eliminates the need for a separate audio cable, reducing clutter and making setup easier. Many modern TVs and audio devices feature Enhanced ARC (eARC), which further supports high-resolution formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for even greater sound fidelity.ARC enables support for high-quality audio formats like Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, so it’s important to make sure that your soundbar is plugged into an ARC- or eARC-enabled HDMI port. Depending on the TV, you may only have one, so you may need to swap some cables around.If your TV doesn’t have an ARC port, many soundbars still feature an Optical audio port. Using a Toslink cable, optical audio supports high-quality formats like Dolby Digital and DTS, though it doesn’t have some of the advanced features you get using ARC or eARC. Most notably, optical connections do not support spatial audio. It’s a little less convenient, but better than being forced to upgrade your TV so you can use your new speakers.What are EQ settings, and why are they important for surround sound?Equalizer or “EQ” settings allow you to adjust specific audio frequencies, such as bass, mids, and treble, to tailor the sound to your preferences and room acoustics. Properly tuned EQ will make your speakers sound better–dialogue will sound more clear, bass will feel more impactful and the whole soundscape will feel more balanced and immersive.Most wireless systems come with presets like “Movie,” “Music,” or “Game,” which are optimized for specific content types. Switching among these is a good starting point. For the best results, use manual EQ adjustments or a system’s auto-calibration feature (e.g., Sonos Trueplay) to fine-tune audio to your room.Finding the right settings for your setup and space takes some trial and error, but here are a few tips to help you get started:Boost the midrange frequencies slightly and reduce bass to make dialogue stand out, especially during scenes with heavy background effects or music. For cinematic sound, increase bass for impactful low-frequency effects and slightly enhance treble for sharp, dynamic highs. Avoid over-boosting mids to prevent crowding out other audio elements. For music, aim for a more balanced EQ to ensure vocals, instruments, and bass are equally emphasized.

(For the best sound, place the forward speakers further away from your TV to create a wider, more cinematic soundstage.)The system doesn’t come with a dedicated subwoofer.

This maximalist home theater audio solution is packed to the brim with every feature that Samsung could think up to provide the most complete experience possible. Within that sea of features, the ability to wirelessly connect to a compatible Samsung TV without an HDMI cable, while still being able to deliver all of the sound formats promised by a wired connection, stands out as a great option for anyone who wants the most wire-free solution they can find. The set revolves around a do-it-all, nine-speaker soundbar that generates a highly customizable soundstage for music and movies. It can recreate the booming sensation you get from movie theater speakers at home: Its powerful wireless subwoofer can (safely) shake your home to the foundation, and four up-firing Dolby Atmos speakers create a fully immersive 3D soundscape. Plus, Samsung’s SpaceFit Sound Pro feature calibrates the system’s settings based on the size of your viewing space. The audio from movies like Dunkirk and Top Gun: Maverick sounded very close to matching my personal home theater setup, which features audiophile-grade tower speakers, satellites, and a beefy powered subwoofer. If there’s one blemish on the Q990D, it’s that the display on the soundbar is quite small and un-useful when making audio adjustments. You can get around that issue by using Samsung’s companion app, which allows you to adjust its settings on your phone. Beyond that, though, the Q990D is a high-powered, Dolby Atmos juggernaut of a surround sound system that promises to bring a theater-esque audio experience to your living room. It’s a great one-stop-shop alternative to the Sonos Immersive Set, and a downright no-brainer if you can snatch it up during one of Samsung’s seemingly routine sales.","image":"https://vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/1732657104-71gxXG-xXaL.jpg","sku":"B0CTKV9DRP","brand":{"@type":"Brand","name":"Samsung"},"review":{"@type":"Review","name":"HW-Q990D 11.1.4 Wireless Surround System","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nick Woodard"}],"positiveNotes":{"@type":"ItemList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":"1","name":"Theater-quality sound"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":"2","name":"Impressive 3D soundstage and Dolby Atmos support"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":"3","name":"Solid, supportive app with available audio adjustments"}]},"negativeNotes":{"@type":"ItemList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":"1","name":"Tiny onboard screen"}]}},"offers":[{"@type":"Offer","url":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTKV9DRP","priceCurrency":"USD","price":"1497.99","availability":"https://schema.org/InStock","offeredBy":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Amazon"}},{"@type":"Offer","url":"https://www.macys.com/shop/product/samsung-hw-q990d-11.1.4-channel-wireless-dolby-atmos-soundbar-with-wireless-surround-speakers-subwoofer-black?ID=18247409","priceCurrency":"USD","price":"1497.99","offeredBy":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Macy's"}},{"@type":"Offer","url":"https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/samsung-11.1.4-channel-wireless-dolby-atmos-soundbar-with-wireless-surround-speakers-subwoofer?ID=5145320","priceCurrency":"USD","price":"1497.99","offeredBy":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Bloomingdale's"}}]}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":7,"item":{"@context":"https://schema.org/","@type":"Product","name":"Bravia Theater Bar 9","description":"The Bravia Theater Quad’s little brother uses the same spatial audio technology to simulate a five-speaker configuration from a single soundbar.

No, it can’t. On its own, a soundbar can greatly enhance TV audio, and modern models often feature spatial audio technology to approximate surround sound, and simulate the effect of having speakers all around you. Ultimately, though, there is no replacement for having an actual speaker projecting sound from behind you. Even our top non-soundbar pick, the Sony Bravia Theater Quad, which relies heavily on simulated 3D sound, puts speakers around you in four directions so your audio naturally sounds like it’s coming from the front or the back.What Are ARC and eARC? How Do I Use Them? ARC (Audio Return Channel) is a feature of the HDMI connection that simplifies audio connectivity between your TV and external audio devices like soundbars or surround sound systems. With ARC, the same HDMI cable that sends video from your audio system to the TV can also carry audio from the TV back to the audio system. This eliminates the need for a separate audio cable, reducing clutter and making setup easier. Many modern TVs and audio devices feature Enhanced ARC (eARC), which further supports high-resolution formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for even greater sound fidelity.ARC enables support for high-quality audio formats like Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, so it’s important to make sure that your soundbar is plugged into an ARC- or eARC-enabled HDMI port. Depending on the TV, you may only have one, so you may need to swap some cables around.If your TV doesn’t have an ARC port, many soundbars still feature an Optical audio port. Using a Toslink cable, optical audio supports high-quality formats like Dolby Digital and DTS, though it doesn’t have some of the advanced features you get using ARC or eARC. Most notably, optical connections do not support spatial audio. It’s a little less convenient, but better than being forced to upgrade your TV so you can use your new speakers.What are EQ settings, and why are they important for surround sound?Equalizer or “EQ” settings allow you to adjust specific audio frequencies, such as bass, mids, and treble, to tailor the sound to your preferences and room acoustics. Properly tuned EQ will make your speakers sound better–dialogue will sound more clear, bass will feel more impactful and the whole soundscape will feel more balanced and immersive.Most wireless systems come with presets like “Movie,” “Music,” or “Game,” which are optimized for specific content types. Switching among these is a good starting point. For the best results, use manual EQ adjustments or a system’s auto-calibration feature (e.g., Sonos Trueplay) to fine-tune audio to your room.Finding the right settings for your setup and space takes some trial and error, but here are a few tips to help you get started:Boost the midrange frequencies slightly and reduce bass to make dialogue stand out, especially during scenes with heavy background effects or music. For cinematic sound, increase bass for impactful low-frequency effects and slightly enhance treble for sharp, dynamic highs. Avoid over-boosting mids to prevent crowding out other audio elements. For music, aim for a more balanced EQ to ensure vocals, instruments, and bass are equally emphasized.

with extensive experience covering audio gear, including speakers and headphones. I’ve written about everything from noise-canceling headphones to soundbars for publications like <em>Reviewed</em>, <em>Digital Trends</em>, <em>IGN,</em> and more. I’ve tested all kinds of soundbars and surround sound systems from brands like Sony, Klipsch, Vizio, and Sonos.</blockquote><h2 class="body-h2 css-v09poa emevuu60">What to Consider in a Wireless Surround Sound System</h2><h3 class="body-h3 css-5bdhee emevuu60">There Are Still (Some) Wires</h3><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">All wireless surround systems share a dirty little secret: Technically, most of them require a <em>few</em> cables. Their “wireless” title specifically refers to the fact that you don’t need to run speaker wire from a primary speaker or amplifier to the satellite speakers around your space.</p><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">At minimum, your speakers need power, so you’ll need to plug them in. Most systems also require you to connect the primary speaker (often a soundbar) to your TV or monitor via an <a href="https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/g36356005/best-hdmi-cables/" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/g36356005/best-hdmi-cables/" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="HDMI cable" class="body-link css-1kk1geb emevuu60">HDMI cable</a>.</p><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Going wireless cuts the hardest work out of the setup process, but it’s worth keeping in mind that you may need to do a little planning and decor rearranging to get your system in place. The good news is that the vast majority of systems’ components will automatically pair with each other as soon as they are connected to power, making them as close to “plug and play” as possible.</p><h3 class="body-h3 css-5bdhee emevuu60">Speaker Channels and Configurations</h3><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Speaker systems are defined by their configuration, which indicates the number of speaker positions in the set and how they’re arranged. The most basic speaker set up is a 2.1 “stereo” system, with left and right speakers (“2”), and a subwoofer (“1”).</p><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">The numbering system comes with an important caveat: Most home theater audio systems, surround sound or not, revolve around a soundbar with many speaker channels, or the ability to replicate multiple speakers inside a single piece of hardware. The basic soundbar usually sets up a 3.1 system–left and right stereo speaker channels, plus a central channel to enhance dialogue (that’s “3”), and a subwoofer (“1”). Many premium systems feature large soundbars with 5 or even 7 speaker channels.</p><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">For a true surround sound system, however, a soundbar alone will not suffice. You need at least two rear satellite speakers, which you place behind you. That allows your speakers to simulate sound coming from any direction. We recommend looking for 5.1-channel setup or higher–most systems that size feature rear speakers. More powerful 7.1-channel systems add side speaker channels (often within the sidebar) to create a more balanced, immersive experience, and some high-end systems go even further, adding more channels to add further nuance.</p><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Lastly, keep in mind that several soundbar brands, including Sony, Sennheiser, and Sonos make soundbar-based surround sound systems that do not come with physical rear or side speakers. While these systems are effective, we prefer the accuracy and targeted directionality of surround sound systems with physical rear speakers.</p><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Unless you care deeply about sound or want to build a proper screening room, I’d say that most home setups will get the most out of upgrading to a 5.1-channel system. That gives you a full surround sound experience with more power, precision, and audio clarity than you get from your TV speakers.</p><h3 class="body-h3 css-5bdhee emevuu60">Subwoofer</h3><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Not every speaker system comes with a <a href="https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/g36276721/best-home-theater-subwoofers/" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/g36276721/best-home-theater-subwoofers/" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="subwoofer" class="body-link css-1kk1geb emevuu60">subwoofer</a>, but it’s an essential component of any good home theater audio setup. They add power and depth to your bass, which is critical if you want to feel the boom of an explosion in your favorite action movie or the heart-pounding footsteps of a T-Rex in a classic like <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Jurassic-Park-Ultra-Blu-ray-Digital/dp/B09VLF6RMV?tag=popularmechanics_auto-append-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.amazon.com/Jurassic-Park-Ultra-Blu-ray-Digital/dp/B09VLF6RMV" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Jurassic Park" data-vars-ga-product-id="0706d0b9-ad69-4abb-940f-12559bfc643c" data-href="https://www.amazon.com/Jurassic-Park-Ultra-Blu-ray-Digital/dp/B09VLF6RMV" data-product-url="https://www.amazon.com/Jurassic-Park-Ultra-Blu-ray-Digital/dp/B09VLF6RMV" data-affiliate="true" data-affiliate-url="https://www.amazon.com/Jurassic-Park-Ultra-Blu-ray-Digital/dp/B09VLF6RMV?tag=popularmechanics_auto-append-20" data-affiliate-network="{&quot;afflink_redirect&quot;:&quot;/_p/afflink/pIL4/amazon-placeholder&quot;,&quot;site_id&quot;:&quot;a4f9566a-1fd0-484c-b731-150b9bda9ffa&quot;,&quot;network&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;},&quot;metadata&quot;:{&quot;links&quot;:{&quot;default&quot;:&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Jurassic-Park-Ultra-Blu-ray-Digital/dp/B09VLF6RMV?tag=popularmechanics_auto-append-20&quot;,&quot;sem&quot;:&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Jurassic-Park-Ultra-Blu-ray-Digital/dp/B09VLF6RMV?tag=pop-lift-20&quot;,&quot;social&quot;:&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Jurassic-Park-Ultra-Blu-ray-Digital/dp/B09VLF6RMV?tag=pop-soc-lift-20&quot;}}}" data-vars-ga-media-type="Slide" data-vars-ga-product-brand="UNIVERSAL" data-vars-ga-product-price="$0.00" data-vars-ga-product-retailer-id="2f460864-b000-438e-b279-8ad037215d33" data-vars-ga-product-sem3-brand="UNIVERSAL" data-vars-ga-link-treatment="(not set) | (not set)" class="body-link product-links css-1kk1geb e1aq0z090"><em>Jurassic Park</em></a>. If you purchase a smaller system or a soundbar that doesn’t come with one, you can purchase a wireless subwoofer separately.</p><h3 class="body-h3 css-5bdhee emevuu60">Surround Sound Formats (Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus)</h3><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In addition to the speaker hardware, it’s important to make sure that your surround sound system supports an audio format that optimizes your content for the right speaker configuration. All systems should work with just about any device via standard surround sound format, but most modern systems also support more advanced formats like Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, which enhance how your devices’ audio is encoded, decoded, and distributed.</p><h3 class="body-h3 css-5bdhee emevuu60">Spatial Audio (Dolby Atmos and DTS)</h3><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In addition to standard surround sound formats, many systems support spatial or “3D” audio technology, which simulates the sensation of hearing sound from directions other than directly from your speakers, including above and below you. It works best with highly immersive experiences like video games, but 4K Blu-Rays and some content on streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max support the two major spatial audio formats, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.</p><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Spatial audio is still very much a luxury, and comes in a few flavors. Technically speaking, a fully furnished spatial system should include a ceiling-mounted speaker that projects sound down directly. Most home surround sound systems don’t have this, though, since it would be both expensive and difficult to set up.</p><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Instead, high-end systems have either two or four upward-firing drivers that bounce sound off the ceiling. (Speaker configurations with dedicated up-firing speakers will have a third number, like 3.1.2 or 5.1.4.) Systems with two spatial speakers usually build them into the soundbar. If present, the third and fourth usually show up on the satellites.</p><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Spatial audio support is rapidly expanding, though often via software that simulates the effect digitally, rather than using physical speakers. As with virtual surround sound to replicate satellite speakers, these solutions are often pretty good, but aren’t as nuanced or impactful as systems with physical speakers that bounce sounds off your ceiling and back towards you.</p><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Unless you’re building your setup around gaming or, again, want a pro-grade screening experience, it’s best not to sweat spatial audio too much. It’s an exciting addition, but won’t impact everything you watch.</p><h3 class="body-h3 css-5bdhee emevuu60">Bluetooth and Wi-Fi</h3><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Many wireless soundbars can stream audio wirelessly via Bluetooth, which makes it easy to stream music or podcasts from a phone or tablet. Some high-end systems will also connect to your home Wi-Fi, which offers a more stable connection and better audio quality.</p><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">I recommend looking specifically for a Wi-Fi-enabled system if you’re planning to integrate your system into a smart home setup or a multi-room speaker system that plays music throughout your home. Depending on the system and the paired device, a Bluetooth connection may get less stable in crowded environments with lots of Bluetooth signals, which could lead to decreased audio quality in your speakers.</p><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Keep in mind: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity are made for streaming audio, not video. Technically, you could pair your surround sound system to a TV wirelessly, but the results would be just short of unwatchable.</p><h3 class="body-h3 css-5bdhee emevuu60">App Control</h3><p data-journey-content="true" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Some manufacturers make companion mobile apps for their systems, allowing you to adjust sound settings, create audio presets, and connect additional speakers via your phone or tablet.

(almost all) the bells and whistles to give you a simple, but clear surround sound system for less than $250. We say almost because Vizio’s latest and greatest budget system supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X virtual spatial audio, which is all but unheard of in this price range. The virtual version isn’t as impactful as having actual, dedicated height channels, but it’s a fantastic perk to take advantage of at this price. </p><p>At this price, you’re giving up Wi-Fi connectivity, and the soundbar itself lacks an optical input that would be essential if you happen to have an older TV or projector. Still, having a complete system with a subwoofer, rear speakers and virtual 3D audio gives you a well-rounded home theater experience on a modest budget.</p></div><div

system in our guide that isn’t built around a soundbar. It features four speakers–two in front, two in back–with a whopping 16 drivers that generate an otherworldly home theater experience.</p><p>The secret is Sony’s 360 Spatial Audio Mapping technology, a proprietary 3D audio technology that creates a simulated soundscape that emanates from up to 12 “phantom” speakers. While physical speakers usually trump this kind of virtual sound, the Theater Quad is an exception: The superior precision of the simulated speakers beats any simulated side-sound you’ll get from a soundbar-based 7.1 system. The positional simulation also gives you more flexibility in your setup. (For the best sound, place the forward speakers further away from your TV to create a wider, more cinematic soundstage.)</p><p>The system doesn’t come with a dedicated subwoofer. <a href="https://electronics.sony.com/audio/soundbars/all-soundbars/p/sasw5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://electronics.sony.com/audio/soundbars/all-soundbars/p/sasw5" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Sony makes one" class="body-link css-1kk1geb emevuu60">Sony makes one</a>, but it’s sold separately, making an expensive upgrade even more costly.

data-optimizely="product-dek-container" class="css-17nzlvn exai5wx0"><p>If rear speakers do not fit into your living room setup, the LG SC9S is a powerful 3.1 system that feels luxurious in a field full of basic simulated surround sound systems. On the hardware side, it’s Dolby Atmos-ready, with three up-firing speakers built into the three-channel soundbar. Two distinct drivers in the center channel create higher clarity in dialogue from TV, film and podcasts. </p><p>The SC9S also comes packed with soundscape-optimizing software features. Its “AI Sound Pro” setting automatically adjusts audio settings based on content type, whether you’re watching a movie, playing a game or listening to music. For audiophile listeners, it supports high-resolution audio formats, up to 24-bit/96kHz. Plus, when paired with a compatible LG TV, the soundbar will use the TV’s speakers to expand its soundstage, making it sound as if the audio is coming directly from the screen.</p><p>There’s no substitute for rear satellite speakers, so I recommend going for a 5.1 or 7.1 system if you can. That said, the SC9S brings you a decent approximation without breaking the bank on a top-of-the-line soundbar.</p></div><div data-optimizely="key-specs-container" data-theme-key="key-specs-container"

mind-range system with a unique design. The two up-firing speakers on the soundbar rotate, depending on the content you’re watching: When your content supports Dolby Atmos or DTS:X, they turn up to fire sound overhead, but face forward when there’s no spatial audio, so you get the full impact of the 18 speaker drivers in the soundbar.</p><p>In terms of sound quality, the Elevate can sound pretty bass-heavy, especially during decibel-raising action scenes in your favorite multiversal superhero movie. You can use the settings to reign that back a bit, though. Once you dial it in, this is an impressive sound system that gives your home theater some serious punch in the audio department.</p></div><div data-optimizely="key-specs-container"

This maximalist home theater audio solution is packed to the brim with every feature that Samsung could think up to provide the most complete experience possible. </p><p>Within that sea of features, the ability to wirelessly connect to a compatible Samsung TV without an HDMI cable, while still being able to deliver all of the sound formats promised by a wired connection, stands out as a great option for anyone who wants the most wire-free solution they can find. </p><p>The set revolves around a do-it-all, nine-speaker soundbar that generates a highly customizable soundstage for music and movies. It can recreate the booming sensation you get from movie theater speakers at home: Its powerful wireless subwoofer can (safely) shake your home to the foundation, and four up-firing Dolby Atmos speakers create a fully immersive 3D soundscape. Plus, Samsung’s SpaceFit Sound Pro feature calibrates the system’s settings based on the size of your viewing space. </p><p>The audio from movies like <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dunkirk-UHD-Blu-ray-Jake-Myers/dp/B074ZMJLKJ?tag=popularmechanics_auto-append-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.amazon.com/Dunkirk-UHD-Blu-ray-Jake-Myers/dp/B074ZMJLKJ" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Dunkirk" data-vars-ga-product-id="51b925f9-0a43-405c-9529-f87f2d3e0eab" data-href="https://www.amazon.com/Dunkirk-UHD-Blu-ray-Jake-Myers/dp/B074ZMJLKJ" data-product-url="https://www.amazon.com/Dunkirk-UHD-Blu-ray-Jake-Myers/dp/B074ZMJLKJ" data-affiliate="true" data-affiliate-url="https://www.amazon.com/Dunkirk-UHD-Blu-ray-Jake-Myers/dp/B074ZMJLKJ?tag=popularmechanics_auto-append-20" data-affiliate-network="{&quot;afflink_redirect&quot;:&quot;/_p/afflink/pIKy/amazon-placeholder&quot;,&quot;site_id&quot;:&quot;a4f9566a-1fd0-484c-b731-150b9bda9ffa&quot;,&quot;network&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;},&quot;metadata&quot;:{&quot;links&quot;:{&quot;default&quot;:&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Dunkirk-UHD-Blu-ray-Jake-Myers/dp/B074ZMJLKJ?tag=popularmechanics_auto-append-20&quot;,&quot;sem&quot;:&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Dunkirk-UHD-Blu-ray-Jake-Myers/dp/B074ZMJLKJ?tag=pop-lift-20&quot;,&quot;social&quot;:&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Dunkirk-UHD-Blu-ray-Jake-Myers/dp/B074ZMJLKJ?tag=pop-soc-lift-20&quot;}}}" data-vars-ga-media-role="1" data-vars-ga-media-type="Slide" data-vars-ga-product-brand="WARNER BROS" data-vars-ga-product-price="$0.00" data-vars-ga-product-retailer-id="52ddaa91-4536-41a6-9d8b-57c2f481f56a" data-vars-ga-product-sem3-brand="WARNER BROS" data-vars-ga-link-treatment="(not set) | (not set)" class="body-link product-links css-1kk1geb e1aq0z090"><em>Dunkirk</em></a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Top-Gun-Maverick-4K-UHD/dp/B09Y896LW1?tag=popularmechanics_auto-append-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.amazon.com/Top-Gun-Maverick-4K-UHD/dp/B09Y896LW1" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Top Gun: Maverick" data-vars-ga-product-id="8c477826-abdf-4d1a-a589-e967cc4437c6" data-href="https://www.amazon.com/Top-Gun-Maverick-4K-UHD/dp/B09Y896LW1" data-product-url="https://www.amazon.com/Top-Gun-Maverick-4K-UHD/dp/B09Y896LW1" data-affiliate="true" data-affiliate-url="https://www.amazon.com/Top-Gun-Maverick-4K-UHD/dp/B09Y896LW1?tag=popularmechanics_auto-append-20" data-affiliate-network="{&quot;afflink_redirect&quot;:&quot;/_p/afflink/pIKz/amazon-placeholder&quot;,&quot;site_id&quot;:&quot;a4f9566a-1fd0-484c-b731-150b9bda9ffa&quot;,&quot;network&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;},&quot;metadata&quot;:{&quot;links&quot;:{&quot;default&quot;:&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Top-Gun-Maverick-4K-UHD/dp/B09Y896LW1?tag=popularmechanics_auto-append-20&quot;,&quot;sem&quot;:&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Top-Gun-Maverick-4K-UHD/dp/B09Y896LW1?tag=pop-lift-20&quot;,&quot;social&quot;:&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Top-Gun-Maverick-4K-UHD/dp/B09Y896LW1?tag=pop-soc-lift-20&quot;}}}" data-vars-ga-media-role="1" data-vars-ga-media-type="Slide" data-vars-ga-product-price="$0.00" data-vars-ga-product-retailer-id="88c0b0df-b7fe-4967-8241-a12eb35ff612" data-vars-ga-link-treatment="(not set) | (not set)" class="body-link product-links css-1kk1geb e1aq0z090"><em>Top Gun: Maverick</em></a> sounded very close to matching my personal home theater setup, which features audiophile-grade tower speakers, satellites, and a beefy powered subwoofer. </p><p>If there’s one blemish on the Q990D, it’s that the display on the soundbar is quite small and un-useful when making audio adjustments.

upgrading your home theater with gaming in mind, you’ll want to look for a system that can get loud, puts out solid bass and features great spatial audio to immerse you in the world of your game. The modular JBL Bar 9.1 checks all those boxes, with an Atmos-forward 5.1.4 system. A hefty 10-inch wireless subwoofer delivers deep, punchy bass that boosts realism and ensures that low-frequency sounds are both clear and powerful to enhance big booming moments… Whether or not there’s a giant explosion.</p><p>The Bar 9.1 lacks some nuance on the finer points of control–a limited number of EQ presets and settings don’t leave you with many options to customize your sound. It hits all the right notes when it counts, though, which in this case means loud, impactful sound that adds weight to every second of every game.</p></div><div data-optimizely="key-specs-container" data-theme-key="key-specs-container" class="css-1kr8s4s e1ymya7x1"><h2 data-theme-key="key-specs-title" class="css-s85hq e1ymya7x0">Key Specs</h2><table data-theme-key="table-container" class="css-1brwan1 elexcwx3"><tbody><tr data-theme-key="listicle-product-key-specs-line" class="css-0 elexcwx2"><th data-theme-key="listicle-product-key-specs-value-label" class="css-vpk3ck elexcwx0">Configuration</th><td data-theme-key="listicle-product-key-specs-value-item" class="css-1flax12 elexcwx1">5.1.4</td></tr><tr data-theme-key="listicle-product-key-specs-line" class="css-0 elexcwx2"><th data-theme-key="listicle-product-key-specs-value-label" class="css-vpk3ck elexcwx0">Wi-Fi</th><td data-theme-key="listicle-product-key-specs-value-item" class="css-1flax12 elexcwx1">No</td></tr><tr data-theme-key="listicle-product-key-specs-line" class="css-0 elexcwx2"><th data-theme-key="listicle-product-key-specs-value-label" class="css-vpk3ck elexcwx0">Bluetooth Support</th><td data-theme-key="listicle-product-key-specs-value-item" class="css-1flax12 elexcwx1">4.2</td></tr><tr data-theme-key="listicle-product-key-specs-line" class="css-0 elexcwx2"><th data-theme-key="listicle-product-key-specs-value-label" class="css-vpk3ck elexcwx0">Supported Sound Formats</th><td data-theme-key="listicle-product-key-specs-value-item" class="css-1flax12 elexcwx1">Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div></div></section><div class="css-1sirylr eutn2uj0"><div class="vertical-ad right-rail-ad listicle--ad-rail css-80uhvq e13lia4i5"><div class="e13lia4i6 css-4z3bwe e19qkiag2"><div id="listicle-ad-rail-2" class="ad-container css-rbetrv ewg5wdb1"></div></div></div></div></section><div data-journey-unblur="true"><div data-journey-unblur="true" class="gpt-breaker-container breaker-ad breaker-ad listicle-slide-list-ad eutn2uj1 css-vroe5m e1spmc110"><div class="ad-disclaimer no-print css-ul6h9p e1caqep90">Advertisement - Continue Reading Below</div><div id="listicle-ad-breaker-3" class="ad-container css-rbetrv ewg5wdb1"></div></div></div><section data-ad-index="4" class="css-t6ry6e e13lia4i18"><section id="slide-9" data-anchor-id="slide-9" data-journey-listicle-slide="true" class="css-1rz4ih8 e16kmapv8"><div data-journey-content="true" class="listicle-slides css-8binen e16kmapv7"><div class="css-gd5gam e16kmapv6"><h2 class="css-1o36o3r e16kmapv5">FAQ With Home Theater Expert Nick Woodard</h2><div class="css-voix3z eutn2uj2"><div class="css-7jdyxr e1nfup6f1"><img srcset="https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/sonos-premium-immersive-set-001-674dd5c615f54.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=640:* 640w, https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/sonos-premium-immersive-set-001-674dd5c615f54.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:* 980w" alt="sonos premium immersive set" data-cy="slide-image-9" src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/sonos-premium-immersive-set-001-674dd5c615f54.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:*" title="sonos premium immersive set" width="3000" height="1687" decoding="async" loading="lazy"/><figcaption data-theme-key="photo-credit-figcaption" class="css-qwlzud e1g9hcy40"><span data-theme-key="photo-credit-creditor" class="css-3v2r6c e1geg53v2">Nick Woodard</span></figcaption></div></div><div class="css-1h3t9lj e16kmapv3"><div class="css-h4zml9 e16kmapv4"><p class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60"><strong>Can a soundbar replace a full surround sound system?</strong></p><p class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Short answer? No, it can’t. On its own, a soundbar can greatly enhance TV audio, and modern models often feature spatial audio technology to approximate surround sound, and simulate the effect of having speakers all around you. Ultimately, though, there is no replacement for having an actual speaker projecting sound from behind you. </p><p class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Even our top non-soundbar pick, the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Theater-Surround-Speakers-Supports/dp/B0CZ7MGY3H?tag=popularmechanics_auto-append-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Theater-Surround-Speakers-Supports/dp/B0CZ7MGY3H" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Sony Bravia Theater Quad" data-vars-ga-product-id="e3027ae4-4b29-4dbf-92a6-64d3ccb9e595" data-href="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Theater-Surround-Speakers-Supports/dp/B0CZ7MGY3H" data-product-url="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Theater-Surround-Speakers-Supports/dp/B0CZ7MGY3H" data-affiliate="true" data-affiliate-url="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Theater-Surround-Speakers-Supports/dp/B0CZ7MGY3H?tag=popularmechanics_auto-append-20" data-affiliate-network="{&quot;afflink_redirect&quot;:&quot;/_p/afflink/pIL1/amazon-placeholder&quot;,&quot;site_id&quot;:&quot;a4f9566a-1fd0-484c-b731-150b9bda9ffa&quot;,&quot;network&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;},&quot;metadata&quot;:{&quot;links&quot;:{&quot;default&quot;:&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Theater-Surround-Speakers-Supports/dp/B0CZ7MGY3H?tag=popularmechanics_auto-append-20&quot;,&quot;sem&quot;:&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Theater-Surround-Speakers-Supports/dp/B0CZ7MGY3H?tag=pop-lift-20&quot;,&quot;social&quot;:&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Theater-Surround-Speakers-Supports/dp/B0CZ7MGY3H?tag=pop-soc-lift-20&quot;}}}" data-vars-ga-media-role="1" data-vars-ga-media-type="Slide" data-vars-ga-product-brand="Sony" data-vars-ga-product-price="$0.00" data-vars-ga-product-retailer-id="8631fa9f-a281-446f-adba-77c9ec39bc7f" data-vars-ga-product-sem3-brand="Sony" data-vars-ga-link-treatment="(not set) | (not set)" class="body-link product-links css-1kk1geb e1aq0z090">Sony Bravia Theater Quad</a>, which relies heavily on simulated 3D sound, puts speakers around you in four directions so your audio naturally sounds like it’s coming from the front or the back.</p><p class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60"><strong>What Are ARC and eARC? How Do I Use Them? </strong></p><p class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">ARC (Audio Return Channel) is a feature of the HDMI connection that simplifies audio connectivity between your TV and external audio devices like soundbars or surround sound systems. With ARC, the same HDMI cable that sends video from your audio system to the TV can also carry audio from the TV back to the audio system. </p><p class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">This eliminates the need for a separate audio cable, reducing clutter and making setup easier. Many modern TVs and audio devices feature Enhanced ARC (eARC), which further supports high-resolution formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for even greater sound fidelity.</p><p class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">ARC enables support for high-quality audio formats like Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, so it’s important to make sure that your soundbar is plugged into an ARC- or eARC-enabled HDMI port. Depending on the TV, you may only have one, so you may need to swap some cables around.</p><p class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">If your TV doesn’t have an ARC port, many soundbars still feature an Optical audio port. Using a Toslink cable, optical audio supports high-quality formats like Dolby Digital and DTS, though it doesn’t have some of the advanced features you get using ARC or eARC. Most notably, optical connections do not support spatial audio. It’s a little less convenient, but better than being forced to upgrade your TV so you can use your new speakers.</p><p class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60"><strong>What are EQ settings, and why are they important for surround sound?</strong></p><p class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Equalizer or “EQ” settings allow you to adjust specific audio frequencies, such as bass, mids, and treble, to tailor the sound to your preferences and room acoustics. Properly tuned EQ will make your speakers sound better–dialogue will sound more clear, bass will feel more impactful and the whole soundscape will feel more balanced and immersive.</p><p class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Most wireless systems come with presets like “Movie,” “Music,” or “Game,” which are optimized for specific content types. Switching among these is a good starting point. For the best results, use manual EQ adjustments or a system’s auto-calibration feature (e.g., Sonos Trueplay) to fine-tune audio to your room.</p><p class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Finding the right settings for your setup and space takes some trial and error, but here are a few tips to help you get started:</p><ul class="css-1r2vahp emevuu60"><li>Boost the midrange frequencies slightly and reduce bass to make dialogue stand out, especially during scenes with heavy background effects or music. </li><li>For cinematic sound, increase bass for impactful low-frequency effects and slightly enhance treble for sharp, dynamic highs. </li><li>Avoid over-boosting mids to prevent crowding out other audio elements. </li><li>For music, aim for a more balanced EQ to ensure vocals, instruments, and bass are equally emphasized. </li></ul></div></div></div></div></section><div class="css-1sirylr eutn2uj0"><div class="vertical-ad right-rail-ad listicle--ad-rail css-80uhvq e13lia4i5"><div class="e13lia4i6 css-4z3bwe e19qkiag2"><div id="listicle-ad-rail-3" class="ad-container css-rbetrv ewg5wdb1"></div></div></div></div></section><section class="css-t6ry6e e13lia4i18"><div data-journey-blur="partial" class="css-1e54vvi e13lia4i9"><div class="css-16s525c e13lia4i8"><div data-journey-blur="partial" data-ad-exclude="true" class="css-19m4yzp e1jy25xv0"><div class="css-sfzxfp ev8dhu59"><span class="css-3mrz81 ev8dhu51"><img src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/rover/profile_photos/afe1fd70-3df7-4225-af15-d623b1f99f2a_1719348371.file?fill=1:1&amp;resize=120:*" alt="Headshot of Nick Woodard" title="Headshot of Nick Woodard" width="100%" height="100%" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="css-o0wq4v ev8dhu53"/></span><div class="css-gorqpr ev8dhu58"><span class="css-0 ev8dhu56"><a data-theme-key="base-link" href="/author/406661/nick-woodard/" class="e1c1bym13 css-siwijo e1c1bym14"><span>Nick Woodard</span></a></span></div><div class="css-1dsojn8 ev8dhu55"><div class="css-1blykqe ev8dhu54"><p>Audio technology critic Nick Woodard has covered products ranging from true wireless earbuds to Dolby Atmos-enabled soundbars and pocket-friendly Bluetooth speakers.

I’ve written about everything from noise-canceling headphones to soundbars for publications like \u003cem\u003eReviewed\u003c/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDigital Trends\u003c/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eIGN,\u003c/em\u003e and more. I’ve tested all kinds of soundbars and surround sound systems from brands like Sony, Klipsch, Vizio, and Sonos.\u003c/blockquote\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"body-h2\"\u003eWhat to Consider in a Wireless Surround Sound System\u003c/h2\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"body-h3\"\u003eThere Are Still (Some) Wires\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll wireless surround systems share a dirty little secret: Technically, most of them require a \u003cem\u003efew\u003c/em\u003e cables. Their “wireless” title specifically refers to the fact that you don’t need to run speaker wire from a primary speaker or amplifier to the satellite speakers around your space.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt minimum, your speakers need power, so you’ll need to plug them in. Most systems also require you to connect the primary speaker (often a soundbar) to your TV or monitor via an \u003ca href=\"https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/g36356005/best-hdmi-cables/\"\u003eHDMI cable\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoing wireless cuts the hardest work out of the setup process, but it’s worth keeping in mind that you may need to do a little planning and decor rearranging to get your system in place. The good news is that the vast majority of systems’ components will automatically pair with each other as soon as they are connected to power, making them as close to “plug and play” as possible.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"body-h3\"\u003eSpeaker Channels and Configurations\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeaker systems are defined by their configuration, which indicates the number of speaker positions in the set and how they’re arranged. The most basic speaker set up is a 2.1 “stereo” system, with left and right speakers (“2”), and a subwoofer (“1”).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe numbering system comes with an important caveat: Most home theater audio systems, surround sound or not, revolve around a soundbar with many speaker channels, or the ability to replicate multiple speakers inside a single piece of hardware. The basic soundbar usually sets up a 3.1 system–left and right stereo speaker channels, plus a central channel to enhance dialogue (that’s “3”), and a subwoofer (“1”). Many premium systems feature large soundbars with 5 or even 7 speaker channels.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a true surround sound system, however, a soundbar alone will not suffice. You need at least two rear satellite speakers, which you place behind you. That allows your speakers to simulate sound coming from any direction. We recommend looking for 5.1-channel setup or higher–most systems that size feature rear speakers. More powerful 7.1-channel systems add side speaker channels (often within the sidebar) to create a more balanced, immersive experience, and some high-end systems go even further, adding more channels to add further nuance.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLastly, keep in mind that several soundbar brands, including Sony, Sennheiser, and Sonos make soundbar-based surround sound systems that do not come with physical rear or side speakers. While these systems are effective, we prefer the accuracy and targeted directionality of surround sound systems with physical rear speakers.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnless you care deeply about sound or want to build a proper screening room, I’d say that most home setups will get the most out of upgrading to a 5.1-channel system. That gives you a full surround sound experience with more power, precision, and audio clarity than you get from your TV speakers.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"body-h3\"\u003eSubwoofer\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot every speaker system comes with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/g36276721/best-home-theater-subwoofers/\"\u003esubwoofer\u003c/a\u003e, but it’s an essential component of any good home theater audio setup. They add power and depth to your bass, which is critical if you want to feel the boom of an explosion in your favorite action movie or the heart-pounding footsteps of a T-Rex in a classic like \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Jurassic-Park-Ultra-Blu-ray-Digital/dp/B09VLF6RMV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eJurassic Park\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/a\u003e. If you purchase a smaller system or a soundbar that doesn’t come with one, you can purchase a wireless subwoofer separately.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"body-h3\"\u003eSurround Sound Formats (Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus)\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the speaker hardware, it’s important to make sure that your surround sound system supports an audio format that optimizes your content for the right speaker configuration. All systems should work with just about any device via standard surround sound format, but most modern systems also support more advanced formats like Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, which enhance how your devices’ audio is encoded, decoded, and distributed.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"body-h3\"\u003eSpatial Audio (Dolby Atmos and DTS)\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to standard surround sound formats, many systems support spatial or “3D” audio technology, which simulates the sensation of hearing sound from directions other than directly from your speakers, including above and below you. It works best with highly immersive experiences like video games, but 4K Blu-Rays and some content on streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max support the two major spatial audio formats, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpatial audio is still very much a luxury, and comes in a few flavors. Technically speaking, a fully furnished spatial system should include a ceiling-mounted speaker that projects sound down directly. Most home surround sound systems don’t have this, though, since it would be both expensive and difficult to set up.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead, high-end systems have either two or four upward-firing drivers that bounce sound off the ceiling. (Speaker configurations with dedicated up-firing speakers will have a third number, like 3.1.2 or 5.1.4.) Systems with two spatial speakers usually build them into the soundbar. If present, the third and fourth usually show up on the satellites.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpatial audio support is rapidly expanding, though often via software that simulates the effect digitally, rather than using physical speakers. As with virtual surround sound to replicate satellite speakers, these solutions are often pretty good, but aren’t as nuanced or impactful as systems with physical speakers that bounce sounds off your ceiling and back towards you.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnless you’re building your setup around gaming or, again, want a pro-grade screening experience, it’s best not to sweat spatial audio too much. It’s an exciting addition, but won’t impact everything you watch.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"body-h3\"\u003eBluetooth and Wi-Fi\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany wireless soundbars can stream audio wirelessly via Bluetooth, which makes it easy to stream music or podcasts from a phone or tablet. Some high-end systems will also connect to your home Wi-Fi, which offers a more stable connection and better audio quality.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI recommend looking specifically for a Wi-Fi-enabled system if you’re planning to integrate your system into a smart home setup or a multi-room speaker system that plays music throughout your home. Depending on the system and the paired device, a Bluetooth connection may get less stable in crowded environments with lots of Bluetooth signals, which could lead to decreased audio quality in your speakers.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep in mind: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity are made for streaming audio, not video. Technically, you could pair your surround sound system to a TV wirelessly, but the results would be just short of unwatchable.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"body-h3\"\u003eApp Control\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome manufacturers make companion mobile apps for their systems, allowing you to adjust sound settings, create audio presets, and connect additional speakers via your phone or tablet. These are handy for users who like to tinker with the mix on their system, or create settings for different audio experiences.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"body-h3\"\u003eSimple Installation\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince the main benefit of a wireless system is easy installation, it’s important that the system setup is actually quick and intuitive. I always look for clear instructions, easy pairing and preferably a companion app to help walk me through the process.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"body-h2\"\u003eHow We Selected The Best Wireless Surround Systems\u003c/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eI selected the best wireless surround systems based on a combination of hands-on testing and comprehensive research into the most highly rated models on the market. Over the years, I’ve had opportunities to test a wide array of systems at home, including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-11-1-4ch-Q-Symphony-HW-Q990D-ZA/dp/B0CTKV9DRP?th=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eSamsung HW-Q990D\u003c/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/premium-immersive-set-arc-ultra-sub-era-100-pair-black\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eSonos Premium Immersive Set\u003c/a\u003e. I test my systems by listening and watching lots of different kinds of content–some of my favorite music, movies and TV shows–to assess their audio performance, ease of use, and versatility.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to testing, I thoroughly researched the latest models, considering expert reviews, user feedback, and each soundbar’s specifications. I looked for systems that excelled in areas like Dolby Atmos support, connectivity options, and audio clarity, ensuring a mix of high-quality picks for different preferences and budgets.\u003c/p\u003e","social_title":"Immerse Yourself in Your Next Binge Watch With The Best Surround Sound Systems","seo_meta_description":"Our expert audiophile recommends wireless surround sound setups from JBL, Nakamichi, Sony, and other top brands for a more enjoyable home theater experience.

No, it can’t. On its own, a soundbar can greatly enhance TV audio, and modern models often feature spatial audio technology to approximate surround sound, and simulate the effect of having speakers all around you. Ultimately, though, there is no replacement for having an actual speaker projecting sound from behind you. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven our top non-soundbar pick, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Theater-Surround-Speakers-Supports/dp/B0CZ7MGY3H\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eSony Bravia Theater Quad\u003c/a\u003e, which relies heavily on simulated 3D sound, puts speakers around you in four directions so your audio naturally sounds like it’s coming from the front or the back.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Are ARC and eARC? How Do I Use Them? \u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARC (Audio Return Channel) is a feature of the HDMI connection that simplifies audio connectivity between your TV and external audio devices like soundbars or surround sound systems. With ARC, the same HDMI cable that sends video from your audio system to the TV can also carry audio from the TV back to the audio system. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis eliminates the need for a separate audio cable, reducing clutter and making setup easier. Many modern TVs and audio devices feature Enhanced ARC (eARC), which further supports high-resolution formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for even greater sound fidelity.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARC enables support for high-quality audio formats like Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, so it’s important to make sure that your soundbar is plugged into an ARC- or eARC-enabled HDMI port. Depending on the TV, you may only have one, so you may need to swap some cables around.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your TV doesn’t have an ARC port, many soundbars still feature an Optical audio port. Using a Toslink cable, optical audio supports high-quality formats like Dolby Digital and DTS, though it doesn’t have some of the advanced features you get using ARC or eARC. Most notably, optical connections do not support spatial audio. It’s a little less convenient, but better than being forced to upgrade your TV so you can use your new speakers.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are EQ settings, and why are they important for surround sound?\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEqualizer or “EQ” settings allow you to adjust specific audio frequencies, such as bass, mids, and treble, to tailor the sound to your preferences and room acoustics.

Hiding ugly speaker wire in the nooks and crannies of your living room was part of the price you paid for the best possible sound.Thankfully, that era is long gone. Brands like Sonos, Sony, and Vizio have developed wireless surround sound systems that sound clean, with intuitive setup and controls. Some brands, like Samsung, make soundbars that bring every ounce of audio prowess that comparable wired setups can offer. The best wireless surround sound systems are leading the way to a less cluttered, more powerful home theater experience.The Best Wireless Surround Sound SystemsBest Overall: Sonos Premium Immersive SetBest Value: Vizio 5.1 Soundbar SE Surround Sound SystemBest Non-Soundbar System: Sony Bravia Theater Quad Surround Sound SystemBest 3.1 System: LG SC9S 3.1.3 Surround Sound SystemBest 5.1 System: Vizio Elevate 5.1.4 Surround Sound SystemThe Expert: I’m a freelance journalist and technology critic with extensive experience covering audio gear, including speakers and headphones. I’ve written about everything from noise-canceling headphones to soundbars for publications like Reviewed, Digital Trends, IGN, and more. I’ve tested all kinds of soundbars and surround sound systems from brands like Sony, Klipsch, Vizio, and Sonos.What to Consider in a Wireless Surround Sound SystemThere Are Still (Some) WiresAll wireless surround systems share a dirty little secret: Technically, most of them require a few cables. Their “wireless” title specifically refers to the fact that you don’t need to run speaker wire from a primary speaker or amplifier to the satellite speakers around your space.At minimum, your speakers need power, so you’ll need to plug them in. Most systems also require you to connect the primary speaker (often a soundbar) to your TV or monitor via an HDMI cable.Going wireless cuts the hardest work out of the setup process, but it’s worth keeping in mind that you may need to do a little planning and decor rearranging to get your system in place. The good news is that the vast majority of systems’ components will automatically pair with each other as soon as they are connected to power, making them as close to “plug and play” as possible.Speaker Channels and ConfigurationsSpeaker systems are defined by their configuration, which indicates the number of speaker positions in the set and how they’re arranged. The most basic speaker set up is a 2.1 “stereo” system, with left and right speakers (“2”), and a subwoofer (“1”).The numbering system comes with an important caveat: Most home theater audio systems, surround sound or not, revolve around a soundbar with many speaker channels, or the ability to replicate multiple speakers inside a single piece of hardware. The basic soundbar usually sets up a 3.1 system–left and right stereo speaker channels, plus a central channel to enhance dialogue (that’s “3”), and a subwoofer (“1”). Many premium systems feature large soundbars with 5 or even 7 speaker channels.For a true surround sound system, however, a soundbar alone will not suffice. You need at least two rear satellite speakers, which you place behind you. That allows your speakers to simulate sound coming from any direction. We recommend looking for 5.1-channel setup or higher–most systems that size feature rear speakers. More powerful 7.1-channel systems add side speaker channels (often within the sidebar) to create a more balanced, immersive experience, and some high-end systems go even further, adding more channels to add further nuance.Lastly, keep in mind that several soundbar brands, including Sony, Sennheiser, and Sonos make soundbar-based surround sound systems that do not come with physical rear or side speakers. While these systems are effective, we prefer the accuracy and targeted directionality of surround sound systems with physical rear speakers.Unless you care deeply about sound or want to build a proper screening room, I’d say that most home setups will get the most out of upgrading to a 5.1-channel system. That gives you a full surround sound experience with more power, precision, and audio clarity than you get from your TV speakers.SubwooferNot every speaker system comes with a subwoofer, but it’s an essential component of any good home theater audio setup. They add power and depth to your bass, which is critical if you want to feel the boom of an explosion in your favorite action movie or the heart-pounding footsteps of a T-Rex in a classic like Jurassic Park. If you purchase a smaller system or a soundbar that doesn’t come with one, you can purchase a wireless subwoofer separately.Surround Sound Formats (Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus)In addition to the speaker hardware, it’s important to make sure that your surround sound system supports an audio format that optimizes your content for the right speaker configuration. All systems should work with just about any device via standard surround sound format, but most modern systems also support more advanced formats like Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, which enhance how your devices’ audio is encoded, decoded, and distributed.Spatial Audio (Dolby Atmos and DTS)In addition to standard surround sound formats, many systems support spatial or “3D” audio technology, which simulates the sensation of hearing sound from directions other than directly from your speakers, including above and below you. It works best with highly immersive experiences like video games, but 4K Blu-Rays and some content on streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max support the two major spatial audio formats, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.Spatial audio is still very much a luxury, and comes in a few flavors. Technically speaking, a fully furnished spatial system should include a ceiling-mounted speaker that projects sound down directly. Most home surround sound systems don’t have this, though, since it would be both expensive and difficult to set up.Instead, high-end systems have either two or four upward-firing drivers that bounce sound off the ceiling. (Speaker configurations with dedicated up-firing speakers will have a third number, like 3.1.2 or 5.1.4.) Systems with two spatial speakers usually build them into the soundbar. If present, the third and fourth usually show up on the satellites.Spatial audio support is rapidly expanding, though often via software that simulates the effect digitally, rather than using physical speakers. As with virtual surround sound to replicate satellite speakers, these solutions are often pretty good, but aren’t as nuanced or impactful as systems with physical speakers that bounce sounds off your ceiling and back towards you.Unless you’re building your setup around gaming or, again, want a pro-grade screening experience, it’s best not to sweat spatial audio too much. It’s an exciting addition, but won’t impact everything you watch.Bluetooth and Wi-FiMany wireless soundbars can stream audio wirelessly via Bluetooth, which makes it easy to stream music or podcasts from a phone or tablet. Some high-end systems will also connect to your home Wi-Fi, which offers a more stable connection and better audio quality.I recommend looking specifically for a Wi-Fi-enabled system if you’re planning to integrate your system into a smart home setup or a multi-room speaker system that plays music throughout your home. Depending on the system and the paired device, a Bluetooth connection may get less stable in crowded environments with lots of Bluetooth signals, which could lead to decreased audio quality in your speakers.Keep in mind: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity are made for streaming audio, not video. Technically, you could pair your surround sound system to a TV wirelessly, but the results would be just short of unwatchable.App ControlSome manufacturers make companion mobile apps for their systems, allowing you to adjust sound settings, create audio presets, and connect additional speakers via your phone or tablet. These are handy for users who like to tinker with the mix on their system, or create settings for different audio experiences.Simple InstallationSince the main benefit of a wireless system is easy installation, it’s important that the system setup is actually quick and intuitive. I always look for clear instructions, easy pairing and preferably a companion app to help walk me through the process.How We Selected The Best Wireless Surround SystemsI selected the best wireless surround systems based on a combination of hands-on testing and comprehensive research into the most highly rated models on the market. Over the years, I’ve had opportunities to test a wide array of systems at home, including the Samsung HW-Q990D and the Sonos Premium Immersive Set. I test my systems by listening and watching lots of different kinds of content–some of my favorite music, movies and TV shows–to assess their audio performance, ease of use, and versatility.In addition to testing, I thoroughly researched the latest models, considering expert reviews, user feedback, and each soundbar’s specifications. I looked for systems that excelled in areas like Dolby Atmos support, connectivity options, and audio clarity, ensuring a mix of high-quality picks for different preferences and budgets.","contentProductLinks":{},"products":{"87c3dc2c-4c69-4283-a7fc-64d72bafe29f":{"customDescriptionDom":{"children":[{"children":[{"data":"The Sonos Premium Immersive Set bundles a few of its speakers to create a power surround sound system: The new Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar puts nine speaker channels up front, a Sonos Sub 4 subwoofer brings the bass, and a pair of Sonos Era 100s act as your rear satellite speakers.
