    All in one soundbar

    I love this soundbar! No need for woofers or back speakers though you could add them . This bar is perfect for my large open living room. The special part is the remote has several different modes one for watching sports so the crowd doesn’t drown out the commentators , one for news , even one for watching at night to soften explosions etc so not to awaken young ones. This is an all in one soundbar that I highly recommend!

    Great build quality, very visually appealing on the entertainment console. Easy setup through ARC port, and the app allows you access to the Smart Control app. This is how I control the volume on the TV, as well as adjust the sound settings including voice enhancement, night mode, and a 4 band equalizer to get the sound right. The real gem is the room correction, the bar basically trying to reproduce surround sound, this is the “ambeo” part of this soundbar. For sure helps with a wider sound and a feeling that the bar fills the room, if you really wanted the best for that effect; the plus bar above this in Sennheisers product line has upfiring speakers that will enhance this. Overall really happy with the purchase and would reccomend to anyone looking for clarity over loudness esp for news, sports and vocal heavy content that can be grating coming through poor quality speakers.

    Outstanding Unit

    I love it. Firstly, unboxing it just feels luxurious - the packaging is sleek and tight, everything is neatly compacted into place. Sure, most tech items ship that way, but then, you pull the actual unit out and BAM! It's beautiful! Sleek lines, the speaker covering is neatly stitched down, corners are all smooth. It feels substantial in my hands, and it just looks and feels like a superior quality tech item. I've owned several soundbars, my first one was a store brand and I hadn't realized yet what a difference in sound the subwoofer makes (that unit didn't come with one). My second and third units, both in the $300 price range and made by a very popular Japanese brand (they do have the best TV's on the market!), both included an external subwoofer, which I loved as the sound quality and viewing experience were greatly enhanced. When I saw the opportunity to try a compact version with the subwoofer integrated into the bar, I had to take it. Let me tell you, the sound is amazing! Everything I watch sounds great. And music sounds phenomenal. 100% better than on my old soundbar. One of the best things I've noticed in using this unit, is that the sound quality is uniform across the board, regardless of which streaming app I'm using. This had been an issue with my old unit, as, I found I had to either turn the volume way up or way down depending on which platform I was using? Or, sometimes even just the difference between movies or programs within a single app was noticeable? There's no warped / underwater sound when the bass kicks in. Also, I haven't needed to adjust the audio syncing across platforms or content - you know, when the voices / sound coming from the speaker don't match the lips or sequence on the screen. One is either faster or slower than the other. The only drawback, which is definitely not a dealbreaker, is that the Sennheiser unit is quite heavy. I wouldn't confidently mount this on the wall, but since I have a fireplace TV console anyway, I won't worry about it. I had a little bit of trouble pairing to my Wifi, but I think that was a problem with reception in the area I live in at the time I was setting it up. All in all, even at this price point, I would HIGHLY recommend this unit. You won't need to replace it for several years, and it comes with a warranty as well. I'm listening to music as I type and it sounds great on a Friday night! I'm really curious as to what other tech this brand has to offer. Great job!

    Purchased for my bedroom, has great sound in a smaller footprint I would like it to have a little more bass however I know they sell a companion subwoofer. Would like connections for a small subwoofer. Companion app works well and allows you to tweak the sound.

    Sennheiser Sound bar

    We finally got my hands on this beast of a sound bar! We first saw it on display at Best buy when were keeping an eye out for sound bars. When we sampled it, it was a very noticeable difference with how deep, and crisp it sounded. We new we wanted it but--- the price was above our budget. So naturally on the app I marked to be alerted when the price dropped...and lo and behold! About a month later or so it has a discount AND I was able to find one "open box" in "excellent" condition and we could NOT pass on the opportunity! We love this sound bar but as other reviews have stated it has a bit of a learning curve and the set up did take awhile, it was a tad confusing and that's that my husband is tech savvy! He was able to hook it up eventually with some trial and error but we do NOT regret the purchase one but!

    Had lower end Samsung soundbar which I returned because I found it was not that much better than my tv speaker at helping me distinguish movie dialogue. Though this was $300 more, I decided to give it a try. Works great and am able to better understand the dialogue. Note: the lower priced samsung comes with a woofer. This one does not even though it costs more.

    At first did not like it and now adore it. Extraordinary sound once you tweak the EQ. Amazon Music HD sounds out of this world. Alexa integration is a miss coming out full blast when Tv comes on. Disabled it. This is an expensive proposition even when on sale but it puts to shame much larger systems. I have a dozen of Sonos speakers already but when its LISTENING time this is it.

    Huge Design Flaw/Oversight

    Look. I’m a huge fan of Sennheiser courtesy of family members who are in the music industry. I bought this as a replacement for the Polk Audio Magnifi AX that couldn’t be repaired. First, I have to say that this little thing is a hard hitter with the audio! I didn’t buy the separate subwoofer but won’t be buying it either. I just feel manufacturers release products without fulling testing them. While I understand their idea of not having a dedicated power on/off button on the soundbar or remote, that’s where the major issue stands. Of course you only find out about this issue when you start looking to see if anyone else has a similar issue or if your system is just special. It turns out this is a huge problem not only with this model, but also with Sennheiser AMBEO Plus. Since the soundbar can’t be fully shut off and only goes into eco mode, you’ll have a syncing issue. If at any point your tv is off for a long while, a couple hours to overnight, you’re going to run into this issue. When you turn on your tv, the soundbar will act like it to is waking up and when you’re to watch whatever you’re going to watch, you’ll hear nothing. The work around that I found after a week of owning this soundbar is rather annoying. You’ll need to either disconnect/reconnect the HDMI cable to the soundbar or you can go into the Sennheiser app and restart the soundbar. This is rather annoying and I’m not convinced that this can be fixed via a firmware update. There have been reports of this issue on many forums online dating back over a year. For this reason, I’m going to be returning it. I simply cannot have this $800+ soundbar knowing that I’ll have to restart it or disconnect/reconnect the cable every time I’m going to watch tv. If you don’t see the AMBEO icon turn on (lower right of the soundbar) you’re not going to get sound coming from the soundbar. I can’t seem to upload a video to better showcase what I’m describing.

    Great sound, but you can only set it up if you have access to your WiFi’s MAC address. Not great for apartments that supply your WiFi. Would also benefit from a subwoofer which is a separate purchase.

    Large sound in a small package. Big improvement over the internal speakers of the LG A2-48. Setup and calibration was simple as it gets. Both remote and app are straightforward to use. Only quibble is it takes about 10sec to complete power-up from standby. Warning: Changing channels during startup seems to disrupt ARC necessitating 3min unplugged reset. Product was listed as "Open Box - Excellent". It arrived in a generic box wrapped in bubble wrap without an HDMI cable or User Manual listed as "included". Unit had several spots of difficult-to-remove adhesive on top of cabinet. (from retailer tags on display model?) Unit also was not reset to factory settings. Condition received was closer to "FAIR" than "GOOD" or "EXCELLENT". Summarizing: love the soundbar but what Best Buy sent was not as advertised and priced.

    Hands down the best soundbar in sound, build quality, aesthetics and sound for size. I have used SONOS, BOSE, DENON and BRAVIA series soundbars and nothing comes close, but in fairness this soundbar is double the cost. THE APP is only downside of soundbar

    Impressive Build and Room-Filling Sound, but Dialo

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The build quality of the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini is fantastic—compact, sleek, and clearly well-constructed. When paired with a subwoofer, the sound easily fills the room, delivering an immersive experience for music and action scenes alike. However, the voice enhancement feature is a major letdown. Dialogue in movies and TV shows is often difficult to hear unless you dive into the settings and manually customize everything. Out of the box, it’s nearly impossible to follow conversations without making extensive adjustments. If you’re willing to spend time fine-tuning the audio, this soundbar can perform very well. But for those expecting plug-and-play clarity for dialogue-heavy content, it may fall short.
