I’ve tested tons of soundbars, and my most anticipated 2025 launch is a small model that could finally deliver awesome Dolby Atmos – and it’s not from Sonos

I’ve reviewed a lot of soundbars here at TechRadar – everything from mini budget-friendly models, all the way through to premium surround sound systems. And lately, we’ve been treated to a lot of excellent releases, even from some new market players.

For example, British hi-fi specialist KEF, launched its maiden soundbar, the KEF XIO. This all-in-one Dolby Atmos-enabled model impressed us with its premium design and great audio performance, and has achieved widespread acclaim. Similarly, Marshall took its first stab at the home theater world with the Marshall Heston 120 – a model I personally reviewed and absolutely loved – I even bestowed it with an elusive five-star rating.
