Customer Ratings & Reviews

Quality sound…more full and fine tuned sound than most speakers of this category!

Excellent sound and immersive. Liked it so much that upgraded to Ambeo Plu

For the price, this soundbar isn't really worth it. The audio quality is good, but not great. It also doesn't display volume level which is a big annoyance for me. There are some times where this bar also completely bugs out with a very high pitched screeching noise, it's awful. Overall it's average, but for the price I wish it was a more quality product.

Good name brand product (Sennheiser) at a fairly reasonable price.

Very nice sound, clear voice. Some feeling of fuller room sound

Fits our room ideally. Our second Ambeo audio bar purchase.

Excellent experience and very insightful demo and feedback as i was reviewing products

An absolute must to get great sound pointed at you rather than coming from the back of the TV

Finally a sound bar that works flawless with my TCL TV

Works great! A little pricey. Had to wait for a sale!

Idk if i got a defective one or not, but the soundbar will not do its software update, it loads on my phone for 30 minutes then kicks me off, and when i tried using a flash drive, nothing happens. It sounds great when its working tho

Great sound, but still had to return it. Connected to TV thru HDMI ARC, and had random and unsolvable lip-sync issues that would show up out of nowhere. In some cases the audio delay was full words or more. Connectivity thru the HDMI ARC was for the most part excellent, It was just the lip-problem that made this unusable. And before you ask, yes we did the firmware upgrades and were able to rule out all other possibilities, including lip-sync adjustments on the soundbar and the TV. Do Better, Sennheiser.

So far so good. Works as expected. No complaints.

I bought this speaker as an upgrade for my home theater setup and although easy to setup the sound is just not as good as a Bose or Sonos. I had high expectations but ended up being disappointed.

Speech clarity was very good. The virtual Atmos was disappointing. I don’t think rear speakers are available and by the time you add the sub woofer the price is too much.

This soundbar(when it works) is great, unfortunately it constantly gets stuck in eco mode. There is no way to wake it up without a full restart, sennheiser is aware of this issue as it has been stated multiple times with replies from the customer service representatives on reddit. They refuse to do anything about it, at 1k this isnt acceptable please look elsewhere and save your money

Sennheiser has a great reputation for superior sound quality and so I was excited to try the newest AMBEO Soundbar mini. However, after extensive listening, I have come to the conclusion that in an effort to create a product in the "affordable" space they have compromised a little too much. The product itself is compact and has a satisfying heft to it. Everything is packaged well and Sennheiser provides you with everything you need to get started. The remote feels solid. Button depressions are shallow but provide sufficient feedback. The remote is not backlit. The downloadable app did an admirable job of getting the WiFi elements setup and actually adds some additional functionality. You can use your phone in lieu of the remote. I had to use the buttons on the soundbar to get Blue Tooth connectivity working. The app determined that the firmware needed to be updated and the process did finally complete after three attempts. I then begin testing the audio performance. The app includes some sample clips and initially they sounded very good. In spite of the limited number of speakers (none of which provide upfiring) and the lack of a subwoofer the DSPs did quite a good job of widening and slightly elevating the soundstage. However, there was little to no height effect and I found the unit to be severally lacking in bass. Furthermore, the audio begins to break up at higher volume levels. The remote features a number of equalizing presets - Movie, Music, News, Sports, Neutral and something called "Adaptive". I found the difference between these to be subtle and finally settled on the Adaptive setting as my default. I listened to a variety of audio sources and found that, aside from the DSP enhancements, the sound was slightly "thin". Also, I believe that you will want to buy the optional subwoofer to truly fill out the soundstage. Sennheiser makes excellent equipment and I believe that this soundbar is a bit of an anomaly. However, it may work for you in a very small spaces.

Very nice, compact sound bar, space saving, designed to bridge gaps in audio and surround sound for rooms. It has a nice fabric warp around grill with rubber accommodating vibration feet. The look is overall robust and bold to fit in with today’s equipment to be paired with, this does seem to only come in one color; black. A soundbar of this size pairs well with 55” (inch) TVs and under to prevent the soundbar from looking larger than the TV or as if the TV is engulfing the soundbar. Touch panel on top of the unit is dense and not distracting using a white LED set, nicely hidden to the touch. Center top of bar. Immersive sound handles all various sounds really well with multi-directional sound providing a nice high-depth to 3D sounding experience while listening and watching films. The built-in subwoofers provide a nice bass and feedback feeling with no distortion at various listening levels. Pending the amount of bass you may be looking for, lower levels of bass may not rumble through enough for some. Ambeo mode provides adaptive audio switching between various Dolby and DTSX to include other audio formats for sound towards content being viewed or listened to, with up-mix capability to 5.1 surround. A soundbar this size uses virtual speakers, vice directly driven overhead speakers; drivers. There’s a Smart Control app for device selection and sound control, change equalizer setting for a smoother and enriched listening. Very user friendly interface with predefined user presets, customize your own. Night mode is great to adjust the heavy base through compression when viewing movies, there’s also an option for voice to enhance the lower voice sound making them easier to hear. Running the Self-calibration aligns the soundbar quickly to the room setup in using sound wave detection and responsive changing to better room sound. Within the app, there are more adjustable room settings after calibration to further fine-tune sound. For those in need of having voice assistive capabilities across devices, there’s various assistants available for selection and use; Google, Apple, and Amazon. Overall, this is a really nice everyday, any room soundbar with great sound and easily interface from any device or equipment aligned with.

If your TV is older then a few years, it wont work. Buyer beware.

Unit was easy to unpack and install, especially since it comes with the HDMI cable required to connect to the ARC enabled input. I did need to run an update once everything was connected WiFi/iPhone-wise but that went off without any issues. The bar isn't massive in size compared to some other sound bars I've used. It also (so far) hasn't shown any odd connection issues over time - I have another sound bar that occasionally needs a power cycle for it to properly connect to a Sony flat screen TV once again (seems to indicate it is the bar and not the TV). I should probably also mention that I just like the look/style of the unit in general. Sounds is much improved over what I was getting from my LG flat screen TV. As this is not on the 'main' TV in the house, I've only watched news and sports while using the bar. You are not going to get incredible bass from the unit, but I think you can expect that when you are not utilizing an external subwoofer. Obviously you're not dealing with a bunch of speaker wires with the unit because there are no satellites. I can't speak to the use of any electronic assistants because we don't use any.
