You can have you bought a tv look the Kansas City Chiefs take on Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the picture is only half the story. Compared to dirty TV speakers, a sound bar or full speaker system makes sporting events both more exciting and easier to follow – and you don’t have to spend a lot of money.
Systems start at around $100 with features like Bluetooth and HDMI audio streaming, while more expensive systems add Dolby Atmos decoding and 4K video switching. No matter your budget, you can find something to enhance your football experience. Then, when the big game is over, our picks continue to sound great with whatever you throw at them.
