Price: $198

The VIZIO 5.1 Soundbar SE delivers a 5.1 Channel surround sound experience for the price of a 2.1 Channel sound system. It has a large soundbar, a great subwoofer, and a pair of satellite speakers. The entire package delivers 96dB of rich, vibrant, and fuller sound experience. The sound signature is also optimized with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for an even and balanced sound signature out of the box. All you need to do is set up the satellites at the right position, which is all noted down in the manual. Once you are done, playing games will not only look good but also sound great.

2) Samsung HW-C450 2.1CH Soundbar

Price: $197.99

The Samsung HW-C450 2.1 Channel soundbar is a premium sound system that utilizes DTS Virtual:X to deliver a virtual surround sound experience. Samsung has greatly tuned the subwoofer to produce cleaner and purer bass. The tweeters of the Samsung soundbar also deliver a powerful punch to the sound. The mids and highs combined with the subwoofer’s lows deliver a great sound performance. Unlike many other soundbars, the Samsung HW-C450’s sound has considerable depth. Therefore, playing games with this sound system will make you feel as if you are right there. Also, if you have wireless satellite speakers, you can pair them with this soundbar.

3) Philips B4500 Soundbar

Price: $136.78

The Philips B4500 Soundbar is a budget soundbar with a full-range subwoofer. It has 140W of power, of which 70 watts is for the soundbar and the remaining 70W goes to the subwoofer. This powerful setup is enough to deliver high-resolution sound with a lot of clarity. Even when you crank the volume to 100%, there’s no distortion or crackling noises. The crispness and depth are well maintained at every volume step. The Philips B4500 is also equipped with the latest Bluetooth 5.4 for better range and quality audio delivery. This soundbar is also packed with a remote control, which allows you to change the volume, switch source devices, try different equalizers, and more.

4) Samsung B-Series Soundbar HW B400F

Price: $117.99

The Samsung HW B400F is an affordable soundbar and doesn’t come with a subwoofer. However, that doesn’t mean it lacks bass altogether. In fact, this soundbar has two midrange woofers alongside two tweeters to deliver a full range of audio. This allows the Samsung soundbar to deliver rich sound performance and a compelling gaming experience. Also, since the woofers are integrated into the soundbar instead of a separate device, you will need very little desk space for this soundbar. You can easily tuck the soundbar under the monitor. This is the gaming setup I’m personally rocking, and the sound experience is brilliant.

5) Saiyin Soundbar With Subwoofer

Price: $47.98

If you think $100 or more is a bit too much for a soundbar, then I have a surprise for you. This is the Saiyin Soundbar, which also includes a dedicated subwoofer. The soundbar itself has 40W of power, so it packs a powerful punch and is also quite loud. On the other hand, the subwoofer gets 30W, which is enough to power a 4-inch rounded-edge subwoofer. Together, they deliver a rich sound, deep bass, and an excellent soundstage. The lows, mids, and even the highs are decently optimized, so the bass won’t overpower the treble and vocals when playing games.

Conclusion

Each soundbar brings something unique to the table. The top models have the highest features and the best sound quality, but they can also be quite expensive. The Philips B4500 and Samsung HW B400F may not have the latest and greatest features, but they deliver a decent experience for the price tag. However, if you are on a tight budget, the Saiyin Soundbar with Subwoofer is also a great option. It punches well above its weight class.
