Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Plus to cost a princely S$2,299 in Singapore

[The_King]

The Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Plus is available in Singapore now at a princely price of S$2,299 for folks who want immersive Dolby Atmos audio without wiring up their homes with multiple speakers.

The much-heralded and costly soundbar – Sonos’ versions start at a fraction of the price, for example – is the latest foray into this emerging audio segment by the German headphones and professional audio manufacturer.

The relatively compact soundbar is not to be confused with another similarly named one launched last year. That larger version, originally called Ambeo Soundbar, is now the Ambeo Soundbar Max.

This new smaller brother still promises audiophile-quality sound with its 7.1.4 speaker setup, which would attract users who want a bit more from their movies.

Like many soundbars today, the Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Plus uses a self-calibration process to read a room’s acoustic properties. It then tries to project 11 virtual speakers around the user, who Sennheiser says should feel like there are seven around him and another four overhead.

At least at a media listening session last week, the Ambeo Soundbar Plus sounded interesting and involving. The sounds from movies such as Kong: Skull Island, for example, do seem to be moving all around you. Not just left and right but also from above, which is impressive.

The dialogue, as you’d expect, is also clearly audible in the front and centre, which is important to any home theatre experience.
