Most TVs share a common weakness: the sound. A surround sound system or a soundbar is the best way for a better sound experience – but even an Amazon Fire TV Stick can do the job, especially if your Smart TV is already a bit older.
If you ever watched an awesome movie like Dune in cinemas and afterwards rewatched it at home, you were probably underwhelmed by the abysmal audio quality your TV provides, compared to the cinema experience. A TV's integrated speakers can actually never deliver high-quality sound. And let's be honest: Good quality sound really elevates the whole experience of watching your favorite shows or movies.
The common solution is buying a surround system or a soundbar – but both are often quite expensive. If you own an Amazon Fire TV Stick , you got an alternative you might not be aware about.
Amazon Fire TV Stick Offers Useful Functionality For Better Sound
The thing is, the Amazon Fire TV Stick comes equipped with Bluetooth, allowing you to easily connect it to a Bluetooth-enabled headset or speaker. Even average-quality headsets typically offer superior sound compared to built-in TV speakers. So, if you want to enhance your viewing experience with better sound quality, simply pair your Fire TV Stick with your Bluetooth headphones, and you're all set to enjoy your favorite shows.
Obviously, this solution becomes problematic as soon as you want to watch something in a group – but even then you might be able to improve the sound quality, if one of you got good speakers with Bluetooth support.
Extra Tip: There are more and more Smart TVs out there that have native Bluetooth on board – so if you got no Fire TV Stick, or you're looking for an alternative, check out whether your Smart TV supports Bluetooth.
To connect the Fire TV Stick to the device of your choice, you have to access the settings. Simply press the Home button for about two seconds, or navigate to the gear symbol you can see on the starting page, at the right edge of the screen.
Once you're there, select:
- "Settings"
- Now navigate to the "Remotes and Bluetooth devices".
- Select "Other Bluetooth devices"
- Connect a speaker or headphones to the Fire TV Stick.
Once you're finished, you are free to enjoy whatever you want to watch without having to use the TV speakers. You're welcome!
