What reviewers say
Both praise clear dialogue, musical balance and the compact design. Tom's Guide finds surprisingly powerful bass and convincing height effects; Expert Reviews finds limited deep bass and surround immersion, and encounters app delays and calibration failures. Neither has a dedicated remote, and deeper bass requires the optional subwoofer.
