What reviewers say
Reviewers praise clear dialogue, immersive surround and height effects, straightforward setup and useful app controls. Both dislike the limited LED indicators and consider the update modest. TechRadar finds strong bass and only slightly forward mids; WIRED finds the subwoofer less articulate on music and some stereo tracks flat in Standard mode, favouring alternative sound modes.
