Soundbar or speakers?


Total audio noob here. My son is getting a PS4 for Christmas (ok, it's for me) and I want to kick up the sound a bit. Right now we are rocking built in speakers only.

Thinking of a Soundbar because it would be easy and cheap, but only if the sound is decent. 

If not a soundbar, what do I need for decent sound without going too far past the cost of a soundbar? Not interested in wiring or mounting speakers behind me either. Lazy here.

I've got room on either side for small to mid sized speakers. How much we talking here? I'm gonna be putting down $350 just for the PS4 and we need a second controller because...I want to be Darth Vader.

Dollar for dollar you'll get much better quality from speakers. It just comes down to quality or convenience.
