AA truly first-class 3.1-chael soundbar - which, thanks to two excellent, integrated subwoofers, can do without the usual separate wireless woofer. The digital, high-resolution signal processing also blows your mind. This clever "mapping" technology incorporates a multitude of formats and can thus generate fantastic, virtual surround "360 Spatial Sound" from any content. Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X material included.nThe interface equipment includes important wired standards as well as elaborate WLAN and Bluetooth wireless features, and you can tap Spotify directly; however, you will search in vain for options to coect analogue devices directly. The acoustic experience is even more immersive when the optional original rear speakers from the manufacturer are added. Their special feature? Thanks to intelligently applied psychoacoustic tricks, they can be positioned relatively freely on site.

Harman Kardon SoundSticks 5 Wi-Fi Review: A Design Icon That Finally Streams Properly
4.4/5
Speakers

The SoundSticks 5 Wi-Fi takes one of audio design's most recognisable silhouettes and turns it into a genuinely modern streaming system. The look still matters, but the bigger story is the sound: a refined three-way presentation, strong low-end authority and broad support for AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and Roon Ready. The lack of an integrated voice assistant, wired satellite connections and the omission of HDMI ARC on this variant keep it from being the easiest all-rounder, but it absolutely earns its premium position.
