![]() There’s no soundbar on this list that sounds as good as the Sennheiser Ambeo, but its size and price will put many off. That means you want to be sitting in the right place at all times for the best experience possible. To calibrate the Ambeo’s performance, it features a high-quality calibration microphone to match the profile of the soundbar’s sound to a room, although it can only perform this from a single listening point. There’s Dolby Atmos, DTS:X as well as the less well known MPEG-H audio formats supported. But you’ll want to make sure the Ambeo processing is switched on, as we found the bar’s performance lost a sense of depth and height with it off. We found there to be a substantial level of bass for a single-bar system, with a good level of extension to the low end and in addition, plenty of depth and nuance to the soundstage it creates. It sounds absolutely sensational, firing effects around a room and generating plenty of power and muscle to make films and TV shows sound their exciting best. The Ambeo Soundbar is an all-in-one effort, and one of a few that we’ve tested that lives up to its claims of offering 5.1.4 channel immersive sound. Wirelessly there is support for Google Chromecast and Bluetooth 4.2. Which means it needs a fair amount of space to be accommodated, but for its size and heft the build quality is excellent with a good selection of inputs that includes three HDMI ports, digital optical out and aux-in. The Ambeo is heavier than some OLED TVs on their own. ![]() The similarly priced Devialet Dione tips the scales at 12kg, and we considered that to be fairly heavy. The Ambeo is a large soundbar, not one that will easily sit beneath a telly unless the TV is wall-mounted, stretching over a metre long and weighing in at 18.5kg. We rate the Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar as the best overall soundbar that you can buy today, but it is a lot of soundbar for a lot of money – $2199 / £2199.
