HW-S800B

An ultra-slim Atmos bar that punches far above its size.

The HW-S800B is remarkably slim, yet its 3.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos setup and compact subwoofer deliver a wide, tall soundstage with real overhead effects and deep bass. Rear speakers can be added. It uses Mini HDMI without eARC, so there's no lossless audio, and the LED menu is awkward.
