Overview
Movie watchers who want rear surround sound without running wires get a soundbar whose end speakers detach and sit behind the couch on battery power. A wireless subwoofer adds deep bass, and Wi-Fi streaming covers AirPlay, Alexa and Chromecast.
Detachable surrounds deliver true rear effects for movie night, then return to the bar for everyday TV. Without up-firing drivers, height effects come from processing.
Who it's for
Households that want surround for films but a tidy setup the rest of the week will appreciate the detachable design. Atmos purists wanting overhead reflection should look at bars with up-firing drivers.
Pros and cons
- Detachable wireless surrounds
- Large wireless subwoofer
- Wide streaming support
- PureVoice dialogue clarity
- No up-firing height drivers listed
- Surrounds need recharging
- HDMI details not listed
Performance notes
Surround comes from the detachable speakers placed behind you, which beat virtual surround for rear effects. PureVoice lifts dialogue above loud scenes. Surround run time depends on the battery, so they need recharging between long sessions.
