In the past two years, if we had discussed TV audio products, many people would have felt a bit confused. But today, when the topic of television sound comes up, many can easily name a few brands or favorite models. The concept of TV audio began to gain traction around 2015 across the country. When Soundbar, a new all-in-one home theater product, entered the domestic market, it quickly caught the attention of many young people from the 80s generation who had just moved into their own homes.
These post-80s generations typically live in smaller apartments with compact living rooms and modern, minimalist decor. Today’s youth are also drawn to large-screen, ultra-thin TVs, focusing on HD, 4K, and even 4K HDR. In short, they want bigger, clearer, and more immersive visuals. However, there's a downside: as TV screens grow larger and sharper, the built-in speaker quality often declines. The reason is simple—there's very little space left for speakers inside the TV. That's when TV audio came into play, offering stylish designs and powerful sound that captured the interest of many young consumers.
This year, TV audio has become almost essential for most households. As the title of this article suggests: You've enjoyed the clearest picture—how could you not be impressed by the sound? With more options available, choosing the right TV audio system can be a bit overwhelming for many users. That’s why I’m here today to share some tips on how to choose the best TV audio for your needs.
Another reason I wrote this article is because several friends recently reached out with questions about purchasing TV audio systems—some faced issues with connections after buying. Additionally, we’re hosting a major audio-visual experience event in Beijing on November 4th (Saturday). If you’ve had trouble with your TV audio setup or are interested in attending the event, this article is definitely worth reading.
Why should you pay attention to the back panel of your TV and audio system?
Many people still aren’t clear on how TV audio works, which can lead to problems. For example, one friend spent over 2,000 yuan on a TV audio system only to find that the interface wasn't compatible with their TV. Another colleague bought an ultra-slim Soundbar but found the sound lacked bass and vocals were too quiet, leading to a return. These are common issues, so it’s important not to blindly follow brand names or design. Instead, take a closer look at the interfaces on your TV.
Before purchasing a TV audio system, always check the audio interfaces on the back of your TV. Some may wonder, “What’s the big deal about interfaces?†Well, different interfaces affect how audio signals are transmitted, which ultimately impacts compatibility and sound quality.
Currently, the most common audio inputs are RCA and 3.5mm jacks. While these are convenient, they don’t offer the best sound quality. Most TVs have optical and HDMI ports, which provide better performance and cleaner wiring. When buying a TV audio system, make sure it supports these interfaces as well.
HDMI with ARC and optical fiber are ideal for transmitting high-quality audio, including surround sound. If your TV doesn’t support these, consider using a TV box or set-top box with those interfaces. Many TVs still lack HDMI ARC or optical support, so some people end up using analog connections like RCA or 3.5mm. This can lead to compatibility issues, as seen in my friend’s case.
When shopping for a TV audio system, there are a few key points to consider. The market offers various types, such as standalone Soundbars, Soundbar + subwoofer, and multi-channel systems. For those with limited space, a Soundbar or Soundbar + subwoofer is usually the best choice. They are easy to place, require minimal wiring, and deliver great sound quality.
Sound quality is subjective, but one thing is clear: good bass is important, but mid-range clarity—especially for dialogue—is equally crucial. Whether watching movies, concerts, or variety shows, clear and natural voice reproduction makes a big difference. A good TV audio system will focus on this, ensuring that voices are crisp and easy to understand.
As for price, TV audio systems are now widely available online at surprisingly low prices. Some cost as little as 200–300 yuan, but I strongly advise against buying these. A basic Bluetooth speaker costs more than that, and a TV audio system at such a low price likely delivers poor sound quality. It’s not a scam—it’s just not worth it.
In conclusion, a good TV audio system should be stylish, compact, and easy to connect. Systems with optical, coaxial, or HDMI interfaces are the top choice, provided your TV supports them. These features ensure a superior audio-visual experience. Always check your TV’s available ports before making a purchase.
