hi I'm ty Pendlebury today I'm looking at the clips SB 120 speaker clips is one of America's most popular designers of loudspeakers and so it was with interest that we check out its version of the sound stand the SB 120 this is a sound bar that's designed to support your TV and connects to it via optical cable or analog in if your TV supports it the SB 120 can decode dolby digital as well but be aware that this speaker is stereo only in addition you also get bluetooth for streaming music from your mobile devices the clips is fairly big for a device of this type and it's built solidly too unlike some speakers that claim to fit a 55 inch TV like for example the LG sound plate this one really can and with these the cosmetics are a little ordinary but at least it does have a black ash wrap on the top but the biggest design flaw is the lack of a display this means you can't tell the volume at any time particularly of the on-board sub it's not really a sub though more a couple of small bass woofers with two mid-range drivers and tweeters as well unfortunately there is no way to add an actual subwoofer either despite the lack of deep bass though sound quality is very good with the relatively large drivers putting most other devices at the price say between 300 and 500 dollars to shame it's able to conjure up more mid-range detail which means better movie dialogue and better music playback however the lack of a true surround option the onboard 3d mode is pretty terrible means that other sound bars and stands are better if you wanted just watch movies or TV at a 350 dollar street price though it's a pretty good deal especially if you want something that sounds better than your TV and can play a tune as well this has been Ty Pendlebury for cnet.com you
