Best Budget soundbars starting with just Rs. 5000
Congratulations to you if you have bought a new TV. How is the audio of your new TV? If it is average, then you need a soundbar. But which is the appropriate budget brand soundbar? I will answer all these questions in this blog.
Today I’ll tell you about the best soundbars of 2021 in every budget starting from just INR 5000.
I’ll tell you 4 important things about soundbars so that you can choose the correct soundbar. If you only want to enhance the volume of your TV, then you need a budget soundbar.
- Do not waste your money on costly soundbars or home theatres.
- A budget soundbar will give amazing experience by enhancing the volume of your TV.
- Do not consider ‘Wattage’ as a criterion to analyze a soundbar.
- Even a 100W soundbar can give a better experience than 300W soundbar.
- Everything depends upon its audio signature and clarity.
- Do not expect a 2.1 Soundbar to give you a surrouy a soundbar with AUX port to enhance the volume of your TVnd sound experience, if any brand says so, they're misleading you.
- Without a good surround channel you cannot get surround sound from any 2.1 soundbar.
- Check if the Connectivity Ports of soundbar are compatible with your TV, before buying a Soundbar.
- Do not buy Dolby Digital soundbar if there is no HDMI ARC port. But A costly soundbar will only give you stereo audio.
Under INR5000 the best soundbar in 2021 is:)
Mulo Arena 5000.
- I am using this soundbarfrom past 6-7 months and I have no complaints regarding it.
- It comes with 2 speakers and 1 subwoofer.
- The output of speakers is 10W each, the output of subwoofer is 25W and the total output is 45W.
- Its performance is fantastic, The reason is its 2-inch and 4O speakers and 4-inch and 8O subwoofer.
- Its SNR is 72dB.
- It is 27-inch wide and has AUX, USB and Bluetooth connectivity options.
- It gives an amazing balanced audio which is quite surprising seeing its price range i.e under INR5000.
- The bass is punchy but not over-powered, which is the best part.
- This becomes the King of soundbars under INR5000 that comes with subwoofer.
I have told you the pros, now let’s talk about the cons.
- You don’t get HDMI ARC or Optical input, but expecting such ports in this price range is not reasonable.
- I have seen its price between INR4000-INR4500 during sales. It’ll be the best if you wait for sales to buy this Soundbar.
- The alternatives of Mulo Arena 5000 are
Boat Aavante Bar 1150 or 1160.
- These both soundbars are same. One is available on Amazon and the other one is available on Flipkart. This is the only difference.
- Both the soundbars cost INR4000.
- These are single unit soundbars with in-built subwoofer instead of an external one.
- But its audio quality is lesser than Mulo Arena 5000.
- But if you don’t want to buy Mulo Arena 5000 then you can buy any one Boat Aavante soundbar. The best soundbar 2021 under INR5000 is MarQ 120W soundbar. Nothing is better than this soundbar.
- It comes with 4 speakers in the soundbarand 1 subwoofer.
- The output of speakers is 15W each, the output of its non-wireless subwoofer is 60W and the total output is 120W.
- Its performance is fantastic. The reason is its 2-inch and 4O speakers and 6.5-inch and 4O subwoofer. Its SNR is 72dB.
- It is 38-inch wide and has HDMI ARC, Optical port, AUX, USB and Bluetooth connectivity options.
MarQ 120W
- This soundbar gives fantastic and highly balanced audio which is because of its good SNR and amazingly frequency responsive speaker and sub-woofer.
- High Bass and Balanced Audio are the two types of Audio Signatures and this is the balanced audio soundbar.
- This soundbar is not people who like high bass audio signature.
- This soundbar costs INR6500 but during sales it costs approx INR6000.
- There are many pros but a single con- you get ages old 2.1 Bluetooth versions. But since you get HDMI ARC and optical port connectivity, this is not a problem.
- It will give you the best results when connected with HDMI ARC or optical audio port.
Now let’s talk about its alternate options and by spending a little more you can buy heavy bass audio signature:)
Boat Aavante 1500 or 1550.
- They both are same soundbars which cost approx INR 8000.
- One is available on the Flipkart while the other is available on Amazon.
- These are the best soundbars for heavy bass. Do not buy MarQ if you heavy bass.
Now let’s move on to our next category. The best soundbar 2021 under INR10,000 is:)
Zebronics 9000 Pro or 9001 Pro soundbar
- Again, these both are same soundbars. One is available on the Flipkart while the other is available on Amazon.
- Brands try to confuse you but they are exactly the same.
- Only the air vent of their speakers is different whereas the internals and features are same.
- They come with 4 speakers 2 tweeters and 1 external wired subwoofer.
- The output of speakers and tweeters is 60W each, the output of its subwoofer is 60W and the total output is 120W.
- Its performance is fantastic. The reason is its 2.75-inch and 4O speakers, 1-inch and 8O amazing tweeters (which are fantastic) and 6.5-inch and 4O subwoofer.
- Its SNR is 72dB. It supports Dolby Digital Plus.
- It is 35-inch wide and has HDMI ARC, Optical port, AUX, USB and Bluetooth connectivity options.
- This soundbar comes with heavy bass audio signature which is mostly liked by everyone.
- Do not expect a balanced audio from it. This is a heavy bass soundbar which produces good bass.
- You can get Dolby Digital support from HDMI ARC port.
- This was all about its pros, cons and audio quality.
- Its price varies between INR 10,000-INR10,500. Even during sales it costs around INR10,000 only.
Zebronics is a heavy bass soundbar but now let’s talk about its alternate option which comes with a slightly balanced audio signature and wireless subwoofer instead of heavy bass.
Motorola 160W Soundbar
- It does not come with heavy bass.
- But that is a good thing because only a balanced bass gives you good audio.
- It has a wireless subwoofer with Dolby Digital support.
Now let’s move on to our next category. The best soundbar 2021 under INR15,000 is:)
Zebronics 9400 Pro soundbar.
- There is no other matching soundbar on Flipkart or Amazon.
- This soundbar is available on both the websites with the same name.
- This is a fantastic soundbar with surround channel.
- It comes with 3 speakers, 2 surround channels and 1 passive subwoofer.
- Had it been an active wireless subwoofer, then this would have been a fantastic deal.
- The output of speakers is 225W, the output of surround channel is 75W each and the output of its subwoofer is 150W and the total output is 525W RMS.
- It has 2.5-inch and 4O speakers, and 6.5-inch and 4O subwoofer. Its SNR is a little less- 66dB.
- It supports Dolby Digital.
- It is 35-inch wide and weighs 1.6Kg.
- It has HDMI ARC, Optical port, AUX, USB and Bluetooth connectivity options.
- You get a descent surround sound effect from this soundbar.
- The surround effect is not fantastic owing to its low price range.
- It won’t give you the same feeling as of INR 50,000 home theatre. But this is a mind blowing soundbar as it competes with soundbars of a slightly high range.
- A lot of people have asked about the placement of surround channels. You must place the surround channels directly above your ear level. And the wire length of its surround channels is just 6m, which is too less.
- According to me it should have been 10m, just like Sony. Otherwise this is a good soundbar with balanced audio and a slightly heavy bass audio signature, which is Zebronics normal bass.
- All in all this is a good soundbar.
Zebronics Jukebar 9400 Pro costs INR14,000. It is available for almost same price during the sales. At max you might get INR500 off or card discounts. If you get it within this price range, then I’ll recommend you to buy it.
Its alternate option is none other than Boat Aavante 3100D which comes with surround channel and has similar looks.
- But its wattage is less and its audio signature is of heavy bass.
- It doesn’t give as loud output as in 9400 Pro.
- It costs INR13,000 and during discounts it might cost INR 12,000. If you want this then you can buy it. But I recommend Zebronics 9400 Pro because it is better than Boat Aavante.
