Sennheiser Ambeo Plus

No minuses can be heard in its stellar sound quality. But given this is expensive for a single box solution, is it worth it?

The original Sennheiser Ambeo was widely acclaimed, but at £2,199 its Tappeal was necessarily limited. So Sennheiser, sensibly, has taken away some of the whistles and bells, some of the physical bulk, and a whole chunk of the asking price. And then, rather less sensibly, called this more basic product 'Ambeo Plus'.

The Ambeo Plus is not a small soundbar - but compared to its bigger brother, it's a stripling. At 75 x 1051 x 121mm, it's roughly the same width as a 48-inch TV. And no, it's not even as big as some of its best-regarded price-comparable rivals. But let there be no doubt: the Sennheiser Ambeo Plus is capable of effortless scale.
