Philips B5109 2.0 Channel Bluetooth Soundbar

Product Description:

The Philips B5109 (TAB5109/37) is a sleek, low-profile 2.0-channel soundbar that delivers a dramatic upgrade over your TV's built-in speakers with Dolby Digital Plus cinematic audio, DTS Virtual:X 3D virtual surround sound, and 120 watts of max power — all from a compact bar that fits cleanly under any TV without taking over your entertainment center. Engineered for people who want genuinely better sound without the complexity, cost, or clutter of a multi-speaker surround system, the B5109 makes movies sound more immersive, dialogue more intelligible, and music more engaging from the moment you plug it in.

Dolby Digital Plus compatibility decodes the advanced audio format used by virtually every major streaming service — Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV+, and more — delivering richer, more detailed surround sound than standard Dolby Digital. DTS Virtual:X takes the experience further by creating a virtual 3D sound field from the single soundbar, simulating both overhead and surround speakers to produce an immersive listening experience that extends beyond the physical boundaries of the bar. Activate Virtual:X via the included remote or the Philips Home Entertainment app and the difference is immediately noticeable — audio gains height, width, and depth without a single additional speaker.

Four EQ preset modes let you tailor the sound to match your content: Movie mode widens the soundstage for cinematic immersion, Music mode optimizes for balanced stereo playback, Voice mode prioritizes dialogue clarity for news and talk shows, and Stadium mode creates an energetic, spacious atmosphere for live sports. Dialogue Enhancement can be activated in any EQ mode to further boost vocal frequencies, ensuring you hear every word clearly even during action-heavy scenes with booming sound effects. Night Mode reduces dynamic range for quieter late-night viewing — keeping loud explosions from waking the house while still making dialogue audible.

The Roku TV Ready certification means the B5109 integrates seamlessly with any Roku TV — setup is automatic, and you control both the TV and soundbar with a single Roku remote via HDMI ARC and EasyLink (HDMI-CEC). No second remote needed for everyday use. For non-Roku TVs, HDMI ARC still enables one-remote volume control with any CEC-compatible television.

Connectivity options are comprehensive for a soundbar at this price: HDMI ARC (output) for TV connection, optical digital input for older TVs and gaming consoles, 3.5mm AUX input for wired devices, USB port for direct playback of FLAC, WAV, and MP3 files from a flash drive, and Bluetooth 5.4 with LE Audio for wireless streaming from smartphones and tablets with less lag and better audio quality than standard Bluetooth. The Philips Home Entertainment app (iOS/Android) provides easy access to EQ modes, source selection, virtual surround activation, and sound customization from your phone. Two full-range drivers deliver 60W RMS (120W max) across a frequency range of 60 Hz to 20 kHz. Wall-mount brackets are included for a clean, flush installation above or below a wall-mounted TV.
