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. I would absolutely love to add a sound bar. The picture on the television is nice, but the sound is quite thin–this would be a dream!

  2. I would really love to add some comfortable home theatre seating and some smart lighting to enhance my viewing experience.

  3. I need a sound bar – tv audio just doesn’t cut it for some movies and concerts. Would also like to move up to 60” tv. Wishes…

  4. Toshiba SBX-1020 sound bar- I love Toshiba and would love to add this sound bar to my current Toshiba TV as the TV has an excellent sound but adding a Toshiba SBX-1020 sound bar will transform my Friday get togethers to DJ night in these tumultuous times of the pandemic, making me and my friends forget the burnout of our Healthcare Jobs!!

  5. It would be so great to win theToshiba-sbx-1020-60-watt-2-1-channel-sound-bar to the tv I bought when my husband I separated as he got the sound system and I got the small tv so after getting a new tv, only a sound bar would make things sweeter in what has been a trying tIme, that and snacks to do with the movie ☺️ and the company of my pup. I appreciate the opportunity! Cheers!

  6. Toshiba SBX-1020 Soumd Bar.
    It’s a single component & It’s also multi-functional, enabling you to also send audio to it from your mobile device over Bluetooth. It’s easy to hook up, does it get any better! Of course it does the sound will be more awesome. So yes I would love to win. THANKS

  7. Interestingly enough, a conveniently positioned wired audio port next to my couch would make night-time watching less arduous on my neighbours. Long audio extension cables are difficult to come by. Don’t know why personal in or on-ear TV audio systems are being shunted in favour of speakers but it could be a new lucrative market in the future.

  8. Definitely a sound bar for an enhanced experience! Music can really set the mood (especially for games). One of these would be great!

  9. I would like to add a Toshiba SBX-1020 60-Watt 2.1 Channel Sound Bar to my home theatre to make my movie and TV watching experience better. Making my home an entertainment oasis!
