Does it decode real Dolby Atmos?

Yes, it decodes Dolby Atmos and uses SurroundX processing to spread height and surround cues across its speakers. The height effect is simulated rather than fired from upward drivers.

How is it better than the Aura A60?

The main upgrade is the subwoofer: a 5.25-inch driver instead of the A60's 4-inch unit, for deeper bass. It also runs a 7.1-channel layout with four surround speakers.

Do the surround speakers need wires to the soundbar?

The subwoofer is wireless, which cuts the cable run to the front of the room. The surround speakers still need power and a connection, so plan their placement around outlets.

Will it fill a large living room?

It is best in a mid-size room where the surround speakers can sit behind or beside the seating. In very large or open rooms the effect thins out.

The package includes the soundbar, the wireless subwoofer and the surround speakers, plus the cabling and remote needed to set them up.

What reviewers say

4.1 / 570 ratings

Rated 4.1 out of 5 from 70 ratings. Buyers like the wide surround sound and the stronger bass for the size, while some say the effect is less precise than a discrete speaker system and needs careful placement.

What people mention

Surround effectMixedListeners like the wide soundstage but some find the rear effect diffuse rather than precise.
BassMixedThe 5.25-inch subwoofer adds real depth, though it can sound boomy in small rooms.
SetupMixedWireless pairing is simple, but placement and calibration take patience to get right.
ValuePraisedBuyers say a full 7.1 Atmos setup with a wireless subwoofer is a lot for the outlay.
