Good sound is important. Whether it’s watching an action movie with surround sound, working on your music hobby or gaming with full-blast sound effects, it makes a massive difference in the quality of your experience.

But don’t think good sound is only for the lucky ones. At Cash Converters, there are hundreds of models waiting to upgrade your home sound system or studio – some of them at R10 000 new, but less than half that at Cash Converters.

Here are some points to consider before you buy.

1. Research the products available before you go
When it comes to electronics, a lot of us have favourites – often for a reason. That’s not a problem at Cash Converters, where you’ll find a wide range of various brands, including popular ones like JBL, Samsung, Sony and more. But do the research before you come in, so if your model or make is not available, you know which rival brands have models to the same standards you’re looking for.

2. Consider what it’s for
Are you sharing a house or looking to set up a sound-proof studio? Or would you like a multi-channel system for a home theatre? These details play a big role in your decisions. For example, top-level earphones might be a better buy if you’re only concerned about quality and not about sharing the sound.

3. Are the parts still available?
If you’re into vintage speakers and like remodelling and working on your sound, it’s worth contacting the manufacturer before you buy to ensure they still make the parts of the speakers or sound bar you are considering.

4. Compatible
Does the soundbar you’re considering work with your TV, or connect to all the devices you want to connect to? Also, check the wiring and ports for damage.

5. Ask to test it
In the end, the sound is the true test. Don’t be shy to ask the Cash Converters staff to assist you in hearing the sound quality of what you’re considering.
