In our Sony HT-A7000 review, using Gravity as a test disc, we noted that 'as Sandra Bullock rotates on screen, unable to detach from the spinning robotic arm, the brilliant sound design is superbly rendered spatially, undulating upward and outward, beyond the scope of the image'. It’s not the same as having direct audio from the speaker above or the side, but it’s effective and dramatically enticing, enriching the viewing experience.

In terms of height and precision, the performance is similar to that of the Sonos Arc, but the width of the soundstage and its forward projection are more convincing. Using a combination of driver placement and psychoacoustic techniques, the Sony HT-A700 delivers a broad and high soundstage, whether you’re watching immersive content or not, while retaining musicality, presence and detail.

A 7.1.2 slab of sound, this Dolby Atmos soundbar packs in two up-firing speakers, two beam tweeters, five front-facing drivers and a built-in dual subwoofer into a single chassis. Sony has excellent form with making some of the best soundbars for TV, and the 2022 What Hi-Fi? award-winning HT-A7000 is no different.

Look out for these specs in our picks below if these features are important to you, and also check out the ' how to choose a soundbar' section below if you aren't sure what else to consider. Many mid-priced and premium soundbars support Dolby Atmos for a more immersive presentation whereby upward-firing drivers deliver an Atmos soundtrack's height channels, while eARC HDMI connectivity is another relatively new feature which can easily pass such immersive audio formats between TVs and soundbars. Soundbars come in all sizes, are available for all budgets, and are usually dead easy to set up and live with. That's why we recommend a soundbar as a great alternative. Ideally, we would recommend going all in and setting up an AV amplifier and matching home theatre speaker system, but in reality, we understand that not everyone has the space and/or the budget for this. While this is an inevitability, it doesn't mean you can't upgrade things, which is why we always suggest budgeting for some sort of sound system when you buy a new TV. With TVs getting thinner, especially OLED models with razor-sharp chassis, there is considerably less room for proper sound systems.
