Hvae a panasonic 42" TV.

Amazing picture, crap sound.

Does anyone have a soundbar and are they any good?

I have a "wireless" soundbar and it does sound incredible tbh.

Think I paid £200 for mine on amazon. Worth the money. I just choose one with the best reviews

I've got one of those that bolts on the back of the TV and has two smallish speakers on the sides.

A Q Acoustics Q-TV2 2.1 Home Cinema System, which I don't think is currently made.

If anything it's TOO loud for us, but the overall sound quality is infinitely superior to the Panasonic TV speakers.

I found that my Panasonic TV doesn't let you control the headphone socket volume with the main volume control, which is a bit of a pain - You have to navigate to a menu for Headphone Volume - WHY?

I added a the matching Panasonic SoundBar to his existing wall mount screen, it came with a wireless subwoofer and works really well as an improvement over the standard speakers. (it was his choice and purchase)

If your looking for true 5.1 type performance, then I use Polk Audio and they are passive so you add them to an ordinary 5.1 Amp. These are amazing, but cost around £500 upwards plus the amp.

I've always wanted a sound bar but I never understood if I could keep volume control from my TV remote as I don't want yet another remote, LOL.

You would need something that has 'control over HDMI' functionality.

How do these compare to a speaker system of similar price? You appear to be in the trade so impartial option would be appreciated.

I use a Yamaha 40D sound bar - very good sound from it plus it looks great too.
