With hundreds of movies available on iTunes with Dolby surround sound, it's no wonder many of us eschew the puny speakers in most TVs in favour of external speakers. Whether that's in the shape of fully-fledged home cinema systems or compact, but big-sounding soundbars. The Creative Stage 360 takes the second route - offering a black-clad compact soundbar with support for Dolby Atmos, plus a welter of connectivity options that enable you to hook up your TV, Mac, Apple TV, a games console, or even your iPhone.
