This subwoofer from Sonos has two amazing aspects that can upgrade your entire entertainment experience: It carries amazing bass and it’s wireless, a godsend for those of us who love how our living room looks.

And it has killer Wi-Fi so that it connects to your TV and sound system without the bother of unsightly cables. On top of that, it has Trueplay speaker-tuning capabilities that basically gives you the power of a sound engineer in a pro recording studio, but in your own home.

Soundbars are not for everyone. Some of us prefer a speaker setup, and these two 700-series speakers from Bowers & Wilkins will set you up for the listening experience of your dreams (or at least your favorite movie theater). We love how compact they are, fitting perfectly as the name suggests, on a bookshelf, but also other furniture or stands. They’re subtle and elegant, but deliver amazing sound with 6.5-inch Continuum Midbass for clarity and power, Driver Decoupling to cut down on any distortion, and Flowport to reduce air turbulence for deep, quality bass. Worried about them messing up your nice tables or shelves? Don’t be. These speakers come with rubber feet, or you can buy stands separately.
