Amazon has unveiled its latest addition to the Fire TV lineup: the Fire TV Soundbar Plus. This sleek soundbar aims to deliver an enhanced audio experience with its built-in subwoofer.
Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus Joins Omni Mini-LED Series
The Fire TV Soundbar Plus isn’t just another soundbar. It’s Amazon’s answer to high-quality home audio. Announced alongside the Fire TV Omni Mini-LED series, it’s a step up from the Fire TV Soundbar released in 2023.
This new model boasts a flatter, more modern design and is significantly larger, stretching 37 inches compared to its predecessor’s 24 inches. This increase in size accommodates a built-in subwoofer, creating a powerful 3.1 speaker channel configuration.
What makes the Fire TV Soundbar Plus stand out? It includes advanced features like Dolby Atmos, DTS, and DTS TruVolume. A dedicated dialog channel and Dialogue Enhancer further ensure crystal-clear conversations, even in noisy scenes.
For those seeking a cinematic experience, Amazon offers the soundbar with an optional external subwoofer or a full surround sound package. Whether mounted on a wall (hardware included) or placed on a stand, this soundbar transforms any living room into a theater.
However, it’s worth noting that the Fire TV Soundbar Plus is an audio-only device. It doesn’t include Alexa or Fire TV capabilities. Still, it integrates seamlessly with compatible Fire TV devices, allowing you to control it via the Fire TV remote. Connectivity is versatile, with an HDMI eARC port, optical port, USB port, and Bluetooth, making it easy to pair with your phone or tablet.
This soundbar isn’t just about better sound. It’s about giving users more control and options for their entertainment setup.
Pricing and Availability
The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus is available now, starting at $249.99. This positions it as a premium option compared to the earlier Fire TV Soundbar, which costs $104.99.
For those seeking a more immersive setup, Amazon offers bundles. Adding an external subwoofer brings the price to $374.99. Opting for the full home theater experience, including an external subwoofer and two surround speakers, raises the total to $489.99.
While it’s a higher investment, the advanced features and audio performance make the Fire TV Soundbar Plus a compelling choice for home entertainment enthusiasts.
