hi I'm ty Pendlebury if you're looking for a sound bar with features that approach its sleek futuristic looks then the poke on the SB one might fit the bill this is a three point one sound bar with a wireless subwoofer and is available for the not so cheap price of six hundred and ninety nine dollars the SB one features a voice boost function for the hearing impaired or for particularly mumbly soundtracks and it also has its own volume control the subwoofer level is also controllable the sound bar can decode dolby digital virus optical input and it also has a 3.5 millimeter input sadly there's no HDMI but one of the sound bars biggest selling features is its compatibility with Spotify connect and play Phi both systems operate over Wi-Fi and let you stream your own music or Spotify losslessly sound quality is pretty good especially with movies and the ability to adjust vocals and bass separately means you can tailor the sound to suit the movie you're watching like many competitive sound bars it's not as good listening to music though the ability to adjust vocal intelligibility can help the lack of bluetooth streaming may put some people off particularly when I found the play 5 streaming could sometimes be unreliable the polk omni sp1 is a decent sound bar with head-turning looks but its features may be a little niche for the mainstream user this is ty Pendlebury for cnet.com you
