Sennheiser's Ambeo Max uses its oversized body to produce beefy, enveloping sound, and right now you can grab it for just $2,000 at Best Buy, a sizable $1,000 markdown from the usual list price. It's one of our favorite stand-alone premium soundbars, particularly if you don't want to deal with an exterior subwoofer but still want bigger bass than you're likely to find on smaller options.Photograph: Ryan WaniataPhotograph: Ryan WaniataPhotograph: Ryan WaniataPhotograph: Ryan WaniataChevronChevronSave to wishlistSave to wishlistSennheiserAmbeo Max$2,500 $2,000 (20% off) Amazon$2,000 B&H Photos$2,000 Best BuyWhile it might be a bit larger than your average soundbar, Sennheiser uses the space well, packing a ton of functionality and drivers into the less-than-compact body. There are both full-range and 1-inch tweeters combined in every conceivable direction, and the result is an impressive reproduction of true spatial audio, something few other stand-alone bars can claim. As a result, it also has an impressive low-end, with bass that doesn't rival dedicated subwoofers, but comes really close for how much simpler the setup process will be.The larger footprint also allows for a huge number of inputs, more than you're likely to find on those tiny soundbars that slide under your screen. In addition to an HDMI 2.1 output with eARC, you'll get three HDMI inputs with 4K pass-through at 60Hz, USB, Ethernet, and optical audio. There are even RCA ports in case you want to hook this up to your turntable. There's also a dedicated subwoofer output, in case you decide you want to add one to your setup down the road, giving you a ton of options should you decide to put the Ambeo Max at the center of your home audio setup.Ready to make the move to a bigger, better soundbar?

The Sennheiser Ambeo Max soundbar is currently available for purchase at Best Buy, Amazon, and B&H Photo for $2,000, representing a $1,000 discount from its regular list price. Brad Bourque highlights this model as a strong standalone premium soundbar, particularly attractive for users seeking immersive spatial audio and a simplified setup compared to systems incorporating a separate subwoofer. The soundbar’s oversized design incorporates full-range and 1-inch tweeter drivers strategically positioned to reproduce true spatial audio, a feature notably lacking in many other standalone soundbars. Despite not matching the performance of a dedicated subwoofer, it provides a remarkably close approximation of deep bass, achieved through its relatively large footprint. Beyond its sound capabilities, the Ambeo Max distinguishes itself with an extensive array of inputs, surpassing those found in smaller, more compact soundbars. These include an HDMI 2.1 output supporting eARC, three HDMI inputs with 4K pass-through at 60Hz, USB, Ethernet, and optical audio ports, alongside RCA inputs for compatibility with legacy devices like turntables. The inclusion of a dedicated subwoofer output further expands the system’s configurability, allowing users to adapt their setup to their specific needs and preferences, demonstrating Sennheiser’s commitment to offering a fully adaptable audio experience.
