SeekerSennheiser AMBEO Soundbar MAX
The Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar MAX is great for mixed usage. It has a unique 3D mode that greatly improves the surround performance, which is great for movies. Its overall sound profile is pretty accurate, but it's lacking a bit in the bass range. While the bar still produces a good amount of bass, it's audibly lower than other frequencies at the same volume, which gives it a disappointing feel on stereo bass-heavy content like some music genres. On the upside, it has a room correction feature that adapts to your room and the reproduction of voices in accurate and clear.
