so we&#8217;ve included a few different types of speakers on this list. You&#8217;ll find bookshelf speakers, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/743546\/best-bluetooth-speakers\/\">Bluetooth speakers, soundbars, smart speakers, and subwoofers. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":1,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":1,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":449} --><\/p>\n<p> The first thing you need to think about is what you&#8217;re buying speakers for. Bookshelf speakers can be useful for music and movies, but a portable Bluetooth speaker doesn&#8217;t work for a home theater. Think about what you&#8217;ll be using the speakers for the most and let this guide your decision. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":1,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":1,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":752} --><\/p>\n<p> Many speakers these days are either battery-powered or use their own power supply that plugs into the wall. For these, all you require is any sort of audio signal, and you&#8217;re ready to go. Bookshelf speakers, on the other hand, need an amplifier to reproduce sound. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":1,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":1,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":1022} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":1,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":0} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":0,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":null,\"countRemainingForInjection\":null,\"nextBlockCount\":null,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":null} --><\/p>\n<p> While most of the speakers we&#8217;re looking at here are wireless, some like bookshelf speakers and subwoofers need cables. We&#8217;ll make sure to mention the cables you&#8217;ll need if they aren&#8217;t included in the box. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":2,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":223} --><\/p>\n<p> For Bluetooth and other wireless speakers, you also need to consider where you&#8217;re using them. If you&#8217;re mostly using a speaker inside your home, it doesn&#8217;t need to be that tough. That said, if you&#8217;re taking a speaker everywhere with you, make sure it has some protection from the elements. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":2,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":530} --><\/p>\n<p> Finally, while we&#8217;ve included a single bespoke smart speaker, other speakers can include voice assistant support that lets them integrate with your smart home. If you value this functionality, make sure any speaker you&#8217;re considering has it, as it&#8217;s tough to add later on. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":2,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":816} --><\/p>\n<section class=\"emaki-custom-block emaki-custom-note\">\n<div class=\"emaki-custom note\" id=\"custom_block_9\">\n<div class=\"custom_block-content note\">\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom\">\n<p>\n<strong>How Did We Research<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom\">\n<p> Models Evaluated <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom\">\n<p> Hours Researched <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom\">\n<p> Reviews Analyzed <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom\">\n<p> 1 <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom\">\n<p> 1 <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom\">\n<p> 1 <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"custom_block-content note\">\n<p> How-To Geek&#8217;s product recommendations come from the same team of experts that have helped people fix their gadgets over one billion times.

--><\/p>\n<p> Most of the speakers we&#8217;ve looked at so far come from an approach where making music sound good is the primary goal. If you spend more time watching TV and movies than listening to music, a music-centric speaker doesn&#8217;t really work best for you. Instead, consider a soundbar like the excellent Bestisan BYL S9920. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":14,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":14,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":14,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":645} --><\/p>\n<p> We&#8217;re looking at the 40-inch, 100-watt version, which is the largest in the range. If you&#8217;ve got a smaller TV or just want a quieter speaker, Bestisan also makes this model in 28-inch and 34-inch models, both with 80 watts of power. If your TV is larger, the 40-inch model will still be the best match. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":14,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":14,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":14,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":957} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":15,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":15,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":14,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":0} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":0,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":null,\"countRemainingForInjection\":null,\"nextBlockCount\":null,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":null} --><\/p>\n<p> There are a few different ways to connect the S9920 to your TV. You can connect wirelessly with Bluetooth, assuming your TV supports it, but this can be problematic with lip-syncing at times. Your best bet is to connect with digital audio via the optical connector or analog audio over the RCA connectors. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":15,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":15,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":15,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":307} --><\/p>\n<p> The Bestisan BYL S9920 doesn&#8217;t come with a separate subwoofer or provide a connection for your own subwoofer. That said, the soundbar uses DSP for various sound modes like movies and movies. Adjustable bass and treble let you fine-tune the frequency response for your room. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":15,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":15,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":15,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":586} --><\/p>\n<p> One neat touch that you often see in TVs but less so in soundbars is the dialog enhancer feature. This tunes the audio to let you hear voices, without turning up the soundbar so loud it bothers your neighbors. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable
