Walmart’s $41 portable soundbar doubles as Bluetooth speaker

Walmart is offering a portable soundbar priced at $41 on its website and at some store locations. The unit is marketed as a compact option to improve TV audio and to play music wirelessly from phones and tablets via Bluetooth.

The retailer’s online listing shows the $41 price and describes the device’s portability and Bluetooth pairing capability. Shoppers can check store availability on Walmart.com, order for delivery or choose in-store pickup where the product is stocked.

The soundbar is designed to sit beneath a television to boost dialogue and overall clarity compared with built-in TV speakers. Its Bluetooth function allows direct streaming from smartphones and tablets without a wired connection. Walmart’s product page includes photos, specifications, customer ratings, compatibility notes and return information.

Retailers have been selling lower-cost audio products that serve multiple purposes, such as soundbars that double as wireless speakers, aimed at buyers seeking simple upgrades for small rooms, dorms or secondary TVs.

Consumers interested in the $41 unit should consult Walmart.com for the current price and inventory and review the product page for details on dimensions, input options and warranty coverage before purchasing.
