Harman Kardon Sabre SB35 review

If you don't own a Harman Kardon device you may be surprised that you've probably already heard the company's speakers before. Why? Because its responsible for most of the nation's cinema sound systems. And with the HK Sabre it plans to bring that...

Fantastic sound quality, beautiful design, slim, simple to use

Rather pricey for a 2.1 solution, cut-out issue irks, glitchy software

The Harman Kardon Sabre is a really beautiful soundbar and subwoofer combination. One enhances the other wherever they are placed in the room, in both aesthetic and acoustic terms. The ability to balance the bass to suit the room via manual adjustments...

Harman Kardon includes a surprisingly elegant remote control with the SB 35. Most soundbar membrane remotes are bland, credit card-shaped devices with a few basic buttons. The SB 35's remote is a 5.4-inch-long, aluminum-backed controller that brings...

A beast of a soundsystem that's truly cinematic

"As an audio device, the Harman Kardon SABRE SB35 is a great piece of kit. The bar itself packs four built-in speakers that boast 100 watts of audio power, and has a number of inbuilt audio options to help you fine-tune the system for your room. For...

Deep bass; Good build quality; Looks good; Rich sound

Harman Kardon SABRE SB35 Bluetooth Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer
