What reviewers say
Reviewers find spacious Atmos effects, strong bass for a standalone bar and extensive streaming options, but miss HDMI passthrough. Their sound verdicts differ sharply; TechRadar praises clear dialogue and movie performance, while What Hi-Fi finds voices unnatural, dynamics restricted and music poorly organised. Both have reservations about music and the AI processing modes.
