My wife and I have traditionally consumed TV through our computers. The centerpiece of our home entertainment has always been a two channel stereo and we didn’t even buy our first TV until six months ago. That TV though is pretty cool. It’s a Roku TV and it consolidates all of our streaming content through its OS. Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, YouTube, etc. Still though I had been sticking to my iPad and a pair of headphones to consume the shows and content that I watch on my own.
Then I won an LG soundbar through a sales contest at work. (They’re one of our vendors). It’s an SJ4Y-S. It’s connected to the TV via optical out and it has a little woofer that’s fed signal wirelessly.
I’m not a big consumer of TV but I do like certain shows and the soundbar is offering more volume, less shrillness, more definition to the sounds and overall more clarity. Even a decently recorded and produced YouTube video like an NPR Tinydesk concert sounds pretty good however I’d still prefer my dedicated headphone setup for something like that. I can’t argue with free. It’s hard to say it’s worth the $200 asking price when I didn’t really pay that out of pocket. I’m just hoping this doesn’t start a new dragon chase leading me into home theater. I have downsized my listening hobby to a headphone setup that I am very happy with. I really hope I’m not about to start down a new long and expensive road. I’m trying to save for a house here.
