Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar is really, really good.. almost perfect, actually. The surround sound quality is exceptional but, it could REALLY use a little extra bass for those moments during a movie where some intense action scene would be complimented by a quality, thundering type of bass. My simple reason for this not being a perfect 5-star worthy product is; for such a premium product/premium price, you may be better off spending the extra that it costs for the "optional" subwoofer or a Sennheiser soundbar that comes with a subwoofer. Don't get me wrong, the sound quality this produces IS good. The vocals are clear and crisp and the additional "voice" feature really does a nice job of bringing voices forward for the listener. This feature helps understand what is being said during movies scenes that have a lot of other background noise or music. I have found keeping the AMBEO setting turned on produces the highest quality, most consistent sound for my listening pleasure. If only the bass was a little bit deeper it would be an easy 5/5! Build quality and weight is really nice, as to be expected with a premium brand/product. Overall, this is a solid soundbar that produces nice sound and does well with its room filling surround sound capability.

This product is listed as capable of more than what it is. I have two home theater surround systems, a 5.1 and a 5.2.4, both of which have true channel separation, and set up according to Dolby specs. The Ambeo sound bar claims 7.1.4. With a built-in subwoofer. This Sound Bar does not even come close to replicating the true surround systems in my house. To start off with, the bass is OK to augment dialogue, but It does not come close to replicating, low frequency, sound effects, and content. You will definitely need a subwoofer if you choose this product. As far as the remainder of the channels, I did not get much of surround or Atmos effects. Again, decent for augmenting dialogue but does not have Good channel, separation, surround or Atmos. I found that it was just a nice Sound bar. The set up was very simple, connect to the TV via eARC, plug in the power cord And power it on. Download the app, which was very nice and useful, and glide through the set up. It does come with room calibration and it does do something to improve the acoustics, but overall limited to what this product can deliver. I found the extra features through the app and different modes. Interesting, but ultimately, I found the dialogue enhance the most useful, as the other moods seem gimmicky and attempting to make this product deliver more than it can. One disappointing feature that I found was, due to the size and weight of the sound bar, it cannot be attached to standard sound bar mounts To a TV. It has to be resting on a console table or you can buy separate Ambio wall mounts which force you to mounted to the wall. The make and quality of this sound bar is solid and nice but I just found it to be over priced for what it can deliver. I think you can buy and Set up a true 5.1 system with the receiver for the same amount of money or a little more and get a much better experience. If you are truly set on a sound bar I would look elsewhere.

Love my sound bar. Do need to add the subwoofer so there could be a cheaper option out there but I’m committed at this point. Will add sub when it goes back on sale. Sound quality is a 10/10

Easy to setup and I can understand the dialog in movies and shows. It also connects whenever I turn on the TV, and shuts off when I turn off the TV, so I don't have to use two remotes. It was also on sale.

Buyer beware! eARC may not work for you if you have a Samsung QLED Neo TV with this soundbar. Contacting Samsung was a dead end as they state its not their issue. Sennheiser took two weeks to respond to my support inquiry and at the end of it did not have any answers. The soundbar would not turn on 99% of the time with the TV no matter what settings were enabled on the TV for eARC. It did work 2 times but was intermittent and even then the Samsung smart remote would not control volume up and down. Certified 8K hdmi 2.1 48Gbps cabling was used end to end on HDMI port 3 of the Samsung as designed. Returned it for a new 8k Denon receiver and works perfectly to the TV w/o changing any other settings. I expected more from Sennheiser, especially for a premium priced soundbar setup. Note - this is not a Best Buy problem or issue but product related.
