Stereo imaging is a standout for music. Reviewers praise the phantom center, strong imaging, and wide two-channel presentation.
Pros: Distortion at high volume, Loudness / maximum volume
Cons: Chromecast compatibility, Google
Stereo imaging drew strong praise for separation, left-right placement, and wide stereo presentation, especially with music.
Pros: Distortion at high volume, Voice clarity
Cons: Spotify Connect reliability, Chromecast compatibility
Stereo imaging earned praise in one review for keeping vocal effects centered cleanly within the stereo image.
Pros: Spotify Connect reliability, Setup simplicity
Cons: On-device controls, HDMI 2.1 gaming
Spatial placement is usually precise, with effects mapped accurately and instruments separated cleanly. One critical test found strict stereo too center-weighted, so two-channel imaging is not flawless in every mode.
Pros: Distortion at high volume, Wi-Fi streaming reliability
Cons: Included HDMI cable, AI Room Calibration
Stereo and music imaging are generally praised for focus, width, and staging, but one dissenting review found music performance especially weak.
Pros: Multi-speaker pairing reliability, Gaming HDMI passthrough
Cons: Google, Cabinet construction / bracing
Stereo imaging is a weak point overall, with repeated comments about narrow, localized sound, limited separation, and stronger performance only near the sweet spot.
Pros: Setup simplicity, Weight convenience
Cons: Smart features, Rear speaker cable length
