Despite their size and price tag, both the Sennheiser Ambeo and Ambeo Plus spatial audio soundbars have been extremely successful. Now Sennheiser is going for the soundbar hat-trick with the new Ambeo Mini. Is its smaller size and (almost) reasonable price going to be enough to ensure that three is the magic number?

Unlike the bigger, pricier Ambeo soundbars, the Ambeo Mini doesn't have dedicated physical drivers creating the sensation of sonic 'height'. Instead, the Mini uses six drivers made from cellulose in conjunction with some extremely potent virtualisation tech to create the suggestion of 7.1.4-channel sound. Two of these drivers are 102mm bass drivers, while the other four are 38mm full-range drivers - with two facing outwards and two facing forwards.
