And, there's Bluetooth for streaming from other devices such as a wireless turntable. The Bang & Olufsen Beosound Stage is expensive, yes, but you can hear every dollar spent. With Chromecast and Apple AirPlay 2 streaming built-in, plus support for B&O’s system, it's a multi-room music marvel too.

With that big and tall soundstage, it also feels like sitting in front of an orchestra. Probably the single best soundbar we've ever tested for music playback, it brings rhythm and musicality that most can only dream of. It doesn't even have its own remote: you just use your TV's remote, or the B&O app, to control it. Just don't expect it to offer a true surround experience, like the Samsung Q90R or VIZIO SB36512-F6 below.īut that's okay, because this is a single-box solution that's basically plug-and-play, and for a lot of people that's just what you want. It squeezes every drop of audio quality from soundtracks thanks to Dolby Atmos compatibility and features a noticeable boost to the spatial positioning of audio compared to simpler soundbars. The amount of detail is just excellent, as is everything else, from dynamic action scenes that pan across the screen to subtle speech. It can get incredibly boomy without the need for a subwoofer, as well.

#DOLBY ATMOS SOUNDBAR DRIVERS#
There are 11 drivers hidden behind its stylish Kvadrat cloth finish, producing a hugely impressive wall of sound – angled drivers give the audio height, while a range of tweeters and woofers add width and depth. The Beosound Stage is actually B&O's first soundbar, and it's definitely worth the wait. The Danish audio masters have done it again with this soundbar, which packs "an astounding amount of sound into a small, stylish unit," according to our review.
