Popular Mechanics, Denon
The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will go head to head in Super Bowl LVII next week. And if there’s one thing we’re sure of when watching big-ticket sports events, it’s that we need to make sure our tech is not only foolproof but next level. Enter the soundbar — a device that can deliver crisp, clear sound, often with a surround sound quality (without the surround sound setup or expense).
The best soundbars are Bluetooth-enabled, provide clear audio and rich bass, and ultimately elevate your TV experience in some way — whether that’s through dialogue enhancements that make you feel like you’re standing next to the refs or by utilizing the best surround sound to fully immerse you in the game. Soundbars can get pretty expensive, though. Luckily, Amazon has deals on a bunch of soundbars and soundbar systems ahead of the Super Bowl.
