Good deal – The Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Plus “5 stars” soundbar at €1,199.00

Just as ambitious as its big sister the Ambeo Soundbar Max, the Ambeo Soundbar Plus seeks to offer an exceptional experience in a more compact format and at a more reasonable price.

More compact, more accessible, but no less capable than the Ambeo Soundbar Max, the Ambeo Soundbar Plus impresses with its ability to reproduce a particularly immersive soundstage that shines on cinematic content. The bar is also not left out when it comes to musical content, which it reproduces accurately, even at high sound levels. Add to that the multiple connection possibilities and extensive compatibility with almost all 3D audio formats, and you get one of the best soundbars on the market. A remarkable comeback from Sennheiser which consolidates its position as king.
