BEST WAYS TO HIDE SOUNDBAR WIRES

From buying a soundbar to installing and mounting it, is a boring journey. Many things we have to consider in this journey.

Don’t worry I will make your journey a little bit easy by describing the best practical methods.

Important Note:- The Following mentioned ways can be used for TVs, soundbars, subwoofers, and home theater systems.

1. Wall Cutting – An Exceptional Case

This is the most difficult and hated way to hide the wires. But believe me, this is one of the best ways also.

People usually don’t like to damage their beautiful walls just for the sake of wires.

If you have a rented house then it’s impossible to damage the wall without the owner’s permission.

It costs high but is a permanent solution.

How to hide wires in the wall?

For this first of all, straight up your wires so there should be no bent in them.

Then apply a cut into your wall according to the length and width of the wire. The cut width should be double the width of the wires, so wires can’t be pressed.

Then place the wires in the cutting section and then cover it with cement or whatever material your walls are made up of.

Pro Tip:- If you are not an expert, please concern yourself with an expert otherwise your wall or wires would be damaged.

I know you are not going to apply this. Because this is the most unlike method ever. Don’t worry, the following methods can be used without cutting into a wall.

2. Use Cable Channels

This is one of the most affordable, common, and easiest ways to conceal your wires.

The cable channels are made up of plastic, just like plastic pipes but in a rectangular shape. These can easily be installed on the walls.

You just need channel holders (hooks) or screws to fit them.

How to install it?

Take a cable channel. Open or remove its upper lid and then first the lower one to the wall with the help of a channel holder and screws.

After that, place your wires in it and apply the upper lid again to close it.

3. Use Zip Ties and Hooks – Special For TV

This is some kind of “Tie Method” more than hide one.

In this, you just need some zip ties and hooks. The quantity depends on the number of wires you have.

This is cheaper than cable channels.

How to use it?

Take your wires first. Arrange them horizontally, one above another to make a bunch. Now tie this bunch with the help of ties and hooks.

Insert the one end of the tie into the hook to lock it tightly. Then hang this lock wire bunch beside your TV or soundbar.

Pro Tip:- Don’t lock too tightly. The wires can be pressed.

4. Use Cord Clips

This I will say is the simplest way to handle your wires.

Cord clips are small rounded clips (may be of different shapes) that clip or lock the wires against the wall.

The price of 30 clips is about $15.

How to use it?

There is no rocket science in using cord clips.

First of all, place the wires against the wall straight and then apply these clips to it.

The clips should be tightened with a screw or a nail (depending on the material of your wall).

5. Use a Fabric Cable Management Sleeve

This is a method that doesn’t require any kind of clips or hooks.

This is just a fabric sleeve that has different kinds of holes and lengths.

It has a zip. Which protects your wires from water (it is water resistant somehow) and children. It also gives a fancy look to your room.

How to use it?

Open the zip and place the wire in it. Carefully close the zip so the wire gets no damage. Then you can place it or hang it anywhere in the room. There is no risk of physical damage.

6. Use many clips to hide wires

This is one of the most creative or you can say awkward ways for hiding wires. In this method, you need many cord clips.

Pro Tip:- Before applying this method, carefully measure the length and width of the wires and purchase the cord clips accordingly.

How to use it?

The method to use it is the same as the cord clips. You just need to arrange the wires lengthwise and the only thing you need to do is apply your cord clips just one after the other in successive ways (touching one other, without any gap).

7. Use a Cable Box

This is also known as a cable management box. This is made up of wood and gives the proper facility to hide any type of cable completely.

No need for any hook, hanger, or clips. No wall damage.

This gives a spacious area for holding your wires. These are also available in many sizes, designs, shapes, and colors according to your need.

How to use it?

Just open the box and drop your cables in it. You can make a bunch of these cables by using zip ties for proper placement.

There are holes and passages present in the box through which you can put your cables out for connecting it to the TV or soundbar.

8. Hide cables behind the TV

This is the unofficial but cheap way. Your wires will be hidden behind your tv and none can see them while watching TV.

How to do this?

Just make a bunch of wires and tie them with the help of zip ties and then hang them behind your TV. That’s all.

Just ensure that the wires shouldn’t seen while watching TV.

9. Use Creative Ways

There are many people who don’t want to add any extra thing in their rooms for just wire hiding. If you are one of them, I will tell you some creative ways to deal with your wires.

If you have some kind of furniture, statue, box, or any other huge standing object near your TV or soundbar, you can wrap the wires around them in a most professional way.

It will be just like a decoration. You can use transparent tape (magic tape) to make them stick. This is the most final method, if all the other methods are not working for you or you haven’t enough budget for them then you should go for it.

10. Use TV Cable Trunk

These trunks come with pre-installed electric boards. They have a cabinet for not only placing TV but subwoofers and soundbars.

All the wires of these devices can easily be managed within the trunk.

11. Use Trims of Your Rooms

Trims are called ridges or rise-up lines in your rooms. These can act as wire-holding places.

How to do this?

Take the wires and simply place them on the ridges.

Then you can stick them with magic tape or cord clips.

12. Hide Wires Under the Carpet

Every room has a carpet. Carpets can not only hide your surface but also wires. Run the wires beneath your carpet from electric boards to the Soundbar or TVs. You don’t need any kind of clips or tape to stick them.

Note:- The above-mentioned methods can be used for any kind of TV and Soundbar like Sonos soundbar or Samsung etc.

Best ALTERNATIVE OF WIRED SOUNDBRS

The best alternative for wired devices is wireless devices.

Wireless devices are free from the tension of managing wires and other wire-related issues. Wireless devices can also give a more superb experience than wired ones because of modern technologies.

If you can’t purchase a wireless speaker, you can turn your wired one into wireless. Wireless devices have better options for calibrations and handling.

If you have the budget, I will suggest you move towards wireless soundbars.

CONCLUSION

If you want to know my personal opinion, I would vote for “Cable Management Box”. This is the proper and best way to completely hide your wires.

It gives enough space for wires.

All the other methods are also good. It depends upon your need, budget, the room structure, and the wires you are using.

There are many wires which require changing after a while, so they shouldn’t be hidden by irreversible methods.

The above-mentioned methods vary from free to low and moderate budget. You can pick any of them according to your pocket.
