What reviewers say
Both praise the broad soundstage, clear dialogue and substantial bass without an external subwoofer. Expert Reviews finds convincing Atmos height and likes the reversible mounting design; Tom's Guide hears limited overhead effects. Expert Reviews considers Game Pro harsh and less useful for locating enemies. Tom's Guide finds pinched treble on some music and awkwardly positioned HDMI sockets.
