Dolby Atmos soundbars from Sony and ULTIMEA raise home‑theater audio

New soundbars equipped with Dolby Atmos aim to improve TV listening experiences. ULTIMEA offers several Bluetooth‑enabled models ranging from a budget 100 W two‑channel bar to a premium 530 W five‑channel‑plus‑height setup with wireless subwoofer, HDMI eARC, and app‑controlled equalisation. The Skywave X40 model provides 4K HDR pass‑through and a 6.5‑inch subwoofer, while the 5.1‑channel bar delivers 300 W output and a 10‑band graphic EQ.

Sony’s Bravia Theatre Bar 7 + S, priced at £799 (≈US$1,100), combines a slim 95 cm soundbar with a compact subwoofer. Reviewers praised its clear dialogue, precise Dolby Atmos effects that track on‑screen action in titles like *Top Gun: Maverick*, and adjustable bass via the Bravia Connect app. The design fits discreetly under a 55‑inch TV, though the unit lacks a physical display or buttons, requiring app control for settings.
