boAt Aavante Quake Plus 200W 2.1 Channel Soundbar

Two hundred watts in a living room is a different proposition from 160 or 120. The boAt Aavante Quake Plus earns its name — the 200W RMS output across a 2.1 channel setup with a dedicated 6.5-inch wired subwoofer produces sound that physically occupies a room rather than filling it from a single direction. For films with proper sound design, music with real low-end, or gaming where audio is part of the experience, the difference between this and a mid-range soundbar is not subtle.

Subwoofer and Signature Sound

The 6.5-inch wired subwoofer handles bass duties with the authority that only a dedicated driver can provide — punchy, defined, and present without becoming boomy or losing shape at higher volumes. It separates cleanly from the midrange drivers in the soundbar, which means explosions don’t muddy dialogue, and bass-heavy music doesn’t collapse the vocal clarity. boAt Signature Sound tuning keeps the overall character engaging — rich and warm rather than clinical, which suits home entertainment better than a flat reference profile.

EQ Modes and Audio Customisation

Four EQ modes — Movie, Music, News, and 3D — give the Quake Plus flexibility across content types. More usefully, the adjustable bass and treble controls allow manual customisation beyond preset profiles — a feature that most soundbars in this category omit. If a particular room acoustic or content type calls for a specific balance, the adjustment is available directly from the Master Remote Control without navigating a phone app.

Connectivity and Design

Input options cover the full range: HDMI ARC, Optical, USB, AUX, and Bluetooth 5.4. HDMI ARC keeps cabling clean on compatible TVs and enables TV remote volume control. Bluetooth 5.4 pairs quickly and holds stable for wireless streaming from phones, tablets, and laptops. The soundbar is both freestanding and wall-mountable, sitting naturally below a TV or flush against a wall for a minimal, space-saving installation.
