If you are tired listening to the crackle of the speakers on the back of your TV, but not ready for the full subwoofer-enhanced suite, I have a great deal for you. The Klipsch Flexus Core 200 is currently marked down for $50 at Amazonand it’s a good place to start if you’re looking for a soundbar that will give you options on the go.
It has fewer channels built into the soundbar than some of our other favorite picks, especially with the lack of side drivers that help with surround effects. That doesn’t stop it from sounding great, thanks to its 44-inch-wide footprint and 2.25-inch drivers that extend to either side. We reviewer Ryan Waniata was impressed by called out the Core 200’s clarity and detail, and especially the very punchy bass response.
While the bar has built-in controls for simple tasks like changing the volume and input, you can also use the mobile app to fine-tune your audio experience. In addition to the stuff you’d expect, there’s also a three-band equalizer for those who like to tinker and advanced settings for any extra speakers you add to the setup. With eARC to communicate with your TV, you don’t need to touch the remote control or app frequently anyway.
That’s right, one of the biggest selling points for the Klipsch Flexus Core 200 is the ability to add additional speakers to your setup. Both those Klipsch Flexus Surr 100 bookshelf speakers and Klipsch Flexus Sub 100 Connect wirelessly to the Core 200 with a custom dongle, giving you a ton of freedom to store the extra speakers wherever they’ll sound best. If you have your own subwoofer that you like, there is also an RCA jack on the bar to connect it to. That’s a lot of flexibility for any soundbar, let alone one at this price point.
