Bluesound Pulse Sound Bar Buying Guide Cheat Sheet

This is the most important thing you should read.

Are you in a hurry? You should know (or do) these things before buying a sound bar:

• Make sure the soundbar has at least three channels. Despite their popularity, 2-channel sound bars are nothing more than glorified mini-stereos. For a more immersive experience, you can use 3 or more channels to simulate surround sound.

• Consider an active soundbar.  Soundbars with active amplifiers come with built-in speakers (sound bars without active amplifiers do not). In our opinion, it’s worth it, especially if you’re looking for a two-for-one deal.
• Choose a location for your sound bar. Do you plan to hang it on the wall or place it on a table? You should not choose a sound bar that is wider than your TV from an aesthetic standpoint. As for the perfect spot for your sound bar, it should be centered beneath or above your TV, whether it is hung on a wall or placed on a shelf. It’s just a matter of making sure you have enough room space!
• Connectivity is important. Almost all sound bars are Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth-enabled, so you can listen to music from your computer, phone, or tablet – making it a stereo, too. If the HDMI cables are switchable, you won’t have to reroute the audio sources if it features HDMI-switching.
• A dealer who is authorized to sell sound bars is the best place to buy. By doing so, you will receive the manufacturer’s warranty, support, and service. 

Time out: Are sound bars worth the investment?

Most people buy sound bars because they don’t have enough space for a real home theater surround system. Space-saving sound bars are slim and low-profile. A home theater system typically includes a separate amplifier, five speakers (one center, one left, one right, two rears), and a subwoofer. The combined cost of all these items is typically higher than the cost of a soundbar alone.

The point? There are so many benefits to authentic home theater sound if you have the space and the budget. In other words, if a good soundbar can improve your TV audio 100 times, then a real home theater can improve it 10,000 times. Soundbars, however, will be an excellent upgrade from the audio on your TV if you only need a simple solution.

Conclusion

Blue sound Pulse Soundbar+ Wireless Multi-Room Smart Soundbar review described its sound design and many other features. It’s not surprising that most soundbars are marketed as both music and movie-friendly.

The Soundbar has a stunning design, easy operation, simple set up and sound quality as good as any other wireless speaker. The Soundbar+ is a powerful smart home speaker that offers a lot of useful features to make it easy to use.

 However, that’s rarely the case, and we expected the Blue sound Pulse Soundbar+ Wireless Multi-Room Smart Soundbar with it’s large, forward-firing drivers, to miss out on movie sound while beating them on music.

That’s not true. Although the Soundbar+Wireless Multi-Room Smart sound isn’t as enveloping as others, it still offers impressive detail, solidity, and clarity, even when playing non-Atmos soundtracks. The only thing that keeps it from being a five-star game is a slight lackluster musical performance (along with some usability issues).

However, if you’re interested in a soundbar and are already a Blue Sound fan, the Pulse Soundbar+ is a great option.
