This 35-inch soundbar boasts a sleek, simple profile, with a black body and a dark gray mesh. It looks very modern and fits in nicely just about anywhere. You can place it in front of the TV without interfering with IR receivers or blocking the screen, or mount it on the wall to save space.
With Bluetooth connectivity, you can easily stream music from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop directly to the bar. It also has a USB port that lets you connect compatible USB devices for faster audio playback, an HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) that transfers sound from TV to soundbar via one HDMI cable, and a remote that allows you to control the volume.
A soundbar that comes with a subwoofer tends to have an easier time delivering a more defined sound, and the Sony HT-CT290 does just that. The frequency range is pretty rich in terms of clarity and details. For a small unit, the subwoofer can move a decent amount of air, although it doesn’t drown out the rest of the frequency range, which is critical when it comes to understanding dialogues distinctly.
The Sony HT-CT290 Ultra-Slim 300W is a no-frills soundbar system that offers excellent bang for the buck. Get yours today on Amazon at a discounted price of $148 to bring your movie and music experience to a whole new level.
