Toshiba sound bar contest prize imageOne of the easiest ways to improve the sound of movie and TV shows in your home is to get a sound bar like the one from Toshiba we are giving away in this contest. Sometimes a simple solution is all you need. And what could be simpler then plugging it into your televisions HDMI port for instant amazing audio. Sound bars are extremely popular because many people want to improve the sound from their television without having to fuss with multiple components of a full audio system. There are a huge variety of them, with a range of features. Enter this contest for a chance to win one, and check out the full range of sound bars at Best Buy.

How can you improve your home theatre

Here are a few things you can do to improve the movie or TV experience in your home:

  1. Buy a new TV: okay this is the most obvious and one that many people do at this time of year. Why now? Fall is when most new TV shows launch and when many of the big sporting seasons either begin (hockey, basketball, and my favourite, football) or, and I’m thinking of baseball especially, end and announce their champion.
  2. Improve the viewing experience around the TV: As Shelly discusses in the article that I linked to here, with the TV as the hub, the rest of the room can be enhanced in many ways to improve your home theatre. You could mount the TV, get amazing home theatre seating, or add some smart lighting. Or perhaps a new popcorn machine is all you need in your home!
  3. Boost the audio: some televisions produce pretty good sound on their own, but amazing sound often requires add-on speakers.

Point number three in that list leads me to the important point of this article. You don’t need a degree in audio engineering to improve the sound in your home. Even the simplest audio solution, a sound bar, can make a huge difference. You’ll be amazed at the difference!

How to set up a sound bar in your home

Most sound bars are designed to set up quickly, usually with a single HDMI cable connected to the television and a power cable plugged into the electrical outlet. The Toshiba SBX-1020 is a great example of a simple audio enhancement for any TV watching situation. It’s quite small, to easily fit beneath most televisions. It’s a single component, so you aren’t concerned with placement of other components (like a subwoofer, for example). It’s also multi-functional, enabling you to also send audio to it from your mobile device over Bluetooth.

There are fancier sound bars with more built-in speakers and enhanced audio capabilities, even Dolby Atmos. Even those sound bars setup very easily though. When shopping for a sound bar, you should look at the range of options available within your price range and decide which model will best work in your home. For example, my living room has a high angled ceiling and Atmos just doesn’t work well. So, I’d focus on a sound bar without that feature. For my bedroom though, the Toshiba prize offered in this contest would be perfect!

  1. To make my movie watching experience better I’d like to add a TV the size of a wall. A guy can always dream…..

  2. I’d love to win this Toshiba Sound Bar. It would definitely improve my TV viewing experience. Our Family loves to sit and enjoy movie night. This would be an incredible addition.

  3. A sound bar would without a doubt improve my TV watching experience, but I’d also love to get LED lights for behind my TV!

  4. I would like to win this Toshiba sound bar and give it to my son as he is in the market for one to improve his home theatre viewing

  5. I’d love a sound bar to enhance my movie-watching. I’ve just purchased a new TV and it doesn’t have the greatest built-in speakers….

  6. I’d love to try a sound bar as my viewing experience is always a bit of a disappointment. The sound is quite flat instead of rich and immersive, which I am sure means I am missing out on numerous sounds that add depth and enrich each show. Plus having an 8yo son means my funds are always taken up with groceries, school runs and enriching his childhood experience……things I absolutely do not mind but to have something that will keep on giving would be woohoo amazing.

  7. I’d like to change my “over a decade old woofer” box with the Toshiba SBX-1020 60-Watt 2.1 Channel Sound Bar: maybe I can use the woofer as a door stop.

  8. I think I’d love a sound bar to enhance my movie-watching experience. I’ve just moved and my TV doesn’t have the greatest built-in speakers.

  9. I would love to add the Toshiba SBX-1020 sound bar. We currently have 4 (no so great) speakers but my wife always has trouble hearing dialogue!

  10. We are in dire need of the new Toshiba SBX-1020 sound bar to complement our TV watching ou even listening to audio channels

  11. Although we could always upgrade our sound system, the TV itself is starting to date, so that would be our choice. However, count me in for the sound bar, it seems incredible!

  12. It really comes down to sound for us – so a sound bar would be fantastic! The TV is great, but I would love to fill the space with rich sound.. if the budget stretched far enough, a full surround sound would be amazing.

  13. I would like to add the Toshiba SBX-1020 60-Watt 2.1 Channel Sound Bar to my home theatre to make my movie or TV watching experience better. Popcorn and a streaming service like Netfiix would be wonderful!!!

  14. I’d like to add a Toshiba Sound Bar to make my tv watching experience better. A SBX-1020 would be perfect. As we age, it’s difficult to hear the soft sounds of someone speaking, and the background noises are much louder than they used to be. My husband says, what did he say?, and by the time I answer we’ve missed the next thing that has been said. It’s not just him either. There are things said that I can’t make out either. I think it’s the background noise as when we watch older movies, we don’t have that problem. This would be sweet win. Thanks Best Buy.
