Best 2025 TVs for bass performance

#1

Bass is stronger than on most TVs and can have real weight, although a few reviewers found it boomy or muddy depending on content.

#2

Bass is surprisingly capable for a TV and the built-in subwoofer adds useful weight, but opinions vary on balance and cleanliness. One source finds the low end mediocre and distorted...

#3

Bass is punchier and more controlled than on many thin TVs, but deep low-end weight remains limited enough that movie fans may still want a subwoofer or sound system.

#4

Bass has more weight than typical TV audio, but its quality varies by size and powerful effects can cause audible buzzing or rattle.

#5

Bass is stronger than expected for some built-in TV speakers, yet others hear an artificial or thin low end, particularly at high volume.

#6

Bass output is a divisive area: some large-set listening finds genuine punch, while other tests report little low-frequency weight.

#7

The built-in system is short on low-end weight, especially for movies and effects-heavy scenes. An optional external speaker can add much more richness and bass.

#8

Deep bass is weak according to lab testing, although a buyer liked the built-in subwoofer's sound.

#9

Deep bass reproduction is limited.

#10

Bass is a recurring weak point: dialogue may stay clear, but music, effects and movie explosions lack the depth of an external sound system.

#11

Bass lacks real punch across most assessments. Day-to-day TV audio is usable, but music and movie effects benefit from external speakers.

#12

Lower frequencies generally lack weight and definition; larger variants can fare a little better but still lack convincing depth.

#13

Bass tends to be shallow or only adequate, leaving action and music less full-bodied than a separate soundbar can provide.

#14

Bass is generally light or poorly defined, especially on smaller sizes, and never a strong point.

#15

Low bass is thin and lacks the punch needed for cinematic effects; it is serviceable for ordinary speech and TV.

#16

Deep bass is the built-in speakers' clearest weakness: effects can sound hollow or lack cinematic rumble, making a soundbar attractive.

#17

The down-firing speaker system has limited bass presence, leaving dramatic audio effects lacking weight.

#18

Bass is the obvious weakness of the built-in speakers; effects, deep voices and music sound thin until external audio or AI processing helps.

#19

Low frequencies are weak and lack definition; speakers can sound thin without an external audio system.

#20

The speakers lack genuine low-end weight and rumble, leaving music and action effects thin.
