The soundbar market continues to gain speed, and even with fierce competition across the price range, Panasonic’s SCHTB880 still manages to be a class leader…
Panasonic’s SCHTB880 combines a series of cutting edge features with a minimalist design that’s highly sought after by home cinema fans who want great sound with minimal intrusion. In addition to its powerful yet agile sound, it features Bluetooth and NFC (Near Field Connection) that allows you to stream music straight from your portable device and enjoy it through the SCHT880’s accomplished speakers.
The Panasonic really comes into its own when you feed it sound from a movie or gaming system. 5.1 audio processing and multi-angled speakers can “throw” sound around the room to create the illusion of surround sound without having to find space for real speakers.It’s not the same as having a dedicated home cinema system, but the results are impressive.
It’s ready for the latest technologies too. The SCHTB880 features two HDMI inputs that support 4K pass-through. There’s also support for ARC, so you can listen to your TVs sound without having to add an extra cable.
Anything else? Well even by soundbar standards, it’s pretty flexible. A wireless subwoofer maintains a good level of low end punch from almost anywhere in the room, while the low profile angle of the bar itself ensures it won’t block your TVs remote control sensor. Finally its wall-mountable design means it’ll fit in almost anywhere!
A double helping of style and performance, the SCHTB880 ticks all the right boxes and then some.
