There is streaming integration capabilities as well, so you can enjoy Spotify and other music services. It's easy to use and is absolutely portable. Take note though that it doesn't have a built-in battery, so you have to plug it to use it.
Next on our list is what we think is best for any widescreen LED TV - the Samsung HW-N450. For starters, this home theater system is a beauty. Not only is it simple and elegant, but it is also easy to set up.

If you want something a bit more intense for 4K TVs that are 55 inches or bigger, then the ONKYO HT-S3800 5.1 is for you.

This theatre system has all the wires ready for you with an innovatively designed amplifier, so it's not difficult to install. It uses Dolby TrueHD technology for the deliverance of accurate sounds when watching movies.

Aside from its stunning performance, you will love its slick, luxurious design and simplicity. Furthermore, you can customize everything easily with its remote.
Next on our list is a home theatre system that's worth the money - the Pioneer HTZ-222DVD. This product is composed of two tower speakers, two satellite speakers, a centre speaker, a subwoofer, and a DVD player that offers karaoke.
You get to have all of the above at a super affordable price. However, setting it up can be quite technical, and the sound isn't that amazing when compared to other high-end multi-speaker theatre systems.
Nonetheless, it's really affordable and an improvement from the basics, being able to provide overall decent quality to your entertainment needs while giving you a karaoke experience. If you want a complete package, and you're okay with taking an hour or two to set it up, this classic home theatre system is for you.

Perfection, this is the best word to describe the Yamaha YSP-5600. If you want to experience the intensity of any film in premium cinema quality, perhaps even better, this soundbar is all you need.
For starters, it's a 43-inch speaker bar that weighs 11 kilograms. Although it's not bulky, it does require a bit of space and needs to be placed in an area where nothing blocks its sound waves. With its Dolby Atmos technology and high-tech speaker setup, you can experience sound atmospherically 360 degrees.
It also doesn't require any technical skills to install, as it doesn't have rear speakers, a subwoofer, or an external amplifier. It's a one-man army and provides you with the best 3D surround sound experience. The only concern is that it's a pricey item to have.
Simplicity and sophistication in one body is a rare sight, but it exists in the Paradigm Soundtrack 2 System. This product is a simple pair of a lengthy 18-inch bar speaker and a minimalistic and portable subwoofer.
At a glance, you will find it very straightforward. However, it has surround sound capabilities, which is surprising for a single front speaker. You can place it just below any LED TV, and it will complement it wonderfully.
While its subwoofer isn't that huge, it provides that boom you get from bulky speakers. Do note that it is not the loudest in terms of volume. Nevertheless, it delivers adequate sound experience into any home.
A very cheap option is the Logitech Z337. It's at its very basic with decent sound quality. For those on a tight budget or looking to heighten their subpar TV's sound quality further, the best quick remedy is this theatre system.
It also works on computers and even on mobile devices, thanks to its Bluetooth technology. It's not the best when it comes to style, but for its price, you get to have a solid bass, clear mid and high notes, and improved volume and sound quality.
