Good things come to those who wait, as we found out recently upon testing Sennheiser’s long-awaited Ambeo soundbar. Despite its lofty £2199 price tag, the Dolby Atmos-rivalling TV speaker justifies its outlay with its “utterly convincing” 3D audio processing and the ability to “produce audio with rare, natural tonality, cohesion and solidity”.

It’s fair to say we’re impressed with Ambeo technology – which makes the news of its expansion into the automotive industry rather exciting indeed. Thanks to a collaboration between Sennheiser and luxury car company Karma Automotive, an Ambeo in-car system is set to debut in the 2020 Karma Revero GT.
