JBL Cinema SB510 3.1 Channel Soundbar with Built-in Subwoofer
A genuinely good dialogue-and-clarity upgrade over TV speakers that trades deep bass for the convenience of zero extra boxes in the room.
Best for: Apartment dwellers, bedroom and condo setups, and anyone who wants one cable and one cabinet, plus people who watch a lot of dialogue-heavy TV and news and just want voices to be clear.

Good carry hardware at a fair price, undercut by a spec sheet far emptier than those of the brands it's competing against.
Best for: Buyers who want a loud, haulable outdoor speaker with a strap, care more about volume and portability than certified waterproofing, and want to spend under $130.
