Audio Reviews

The Majority D80 speakers are compatible with a range of connection outputs, making them pretty versatile, but the sound quality is majorly lacking.

The Sony HT-S100F is a simple, budget soundbar with no Dolby Atmos or smart home integration. But for just $99, the sound quality is amazing.

The Fluance Ri71 are a great pair of powered stereo speakers at an incredible price — but the addition of an HDMI ARC port makes them one of the best buys of 2025.

The ecoute headphones are a great sounding pair of headphones that come at a high price.

The Bose Smart Soundbar is a fantastic smart home product, but it won’t impress true hi-fi fanatics thanks to its lackluster bass and too-crisp treble.

The JLab Epic Lux Lab Edition headphones sound great across a range of genres, have long battery life, and are mighty comfortable — but there are some flaws.

The Samsung HW-B650 is a punchy soundbar + subwoofer combo with an impressive surround-sound experience, a range of playback modes, and great bass.

At $1,699, the JBL Bar 1300X isn’t the cheapest option on the market, but it is one of the best bang-for-buck soundbar systems out there.

The Majority Elias is a super-budget soundbar. Priced at just £99, it claims it has Dolby Atmos — but it doesn’t. It has decent sound quality for TV, though.

Meridian’s Ellipse sounds incredible and looks great, but it’s missing some features for smart home users.
