Panasonic SC-HTE80

Panasonic tackles tepid TV sound with this Bluetooth-equipped speakerboard

Attractive, compact design ; Good range of features ; Crisp, detailed sound

Lacks bass punch ; Single HDMI input

There are two integrated subwoofers with 60W of amplification, plus 2 x 30W for the full-range front speakers (120W in total). It also features built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders, Pro Logic II and Virtual Speaker processing and even handles up to...

Panasonic SC-HTE80

Crisp, lean sound with good features, but a lack of bass weight spells trouble for this compact soundbase

Crisp, clear sound ; Focused, lively delivery ; Easy to use ; Display ; Good variety of connections ; Smart looks ; Compact size and good build quality ; Price

Lacking in solid, punchy bass ; Lightweight sound ; Treble can sound bright sometimes

It’s a step up from tinny TV speakers for sure, but the SC-HTE80 doesn’t feel like the complete solution.

Panasonic SC-HTE80

With a footprint of 46 x 28cm the Panasonic SC-HTE80 looks (colour differences aside) like a slightly shrunken version of the Canton DM 50, with largely unadorned surfaces and a dot matrix display hidden behind the cheese-grater grille across the...

Panasonic SC-HTE80 review

Not what I expected from Panasonic

Having previously owned a yamaha sound system, I bought this with confidence.. Sadly it does not perform as I expected... Hardly any bass, and not much different sound as I get from my Panasonic TV.

Amazing sound brings television to life!

This soundbar 'soundbox' really does bring the TV to life as it projects sound 360 degrees around the screen for maximum effect. Easy to set up too. Much better than a conventional soundbar.

Excellent for the price

I bought this on a discount deal from Very making it £50 cheaper than Amazon. The sound is a massive improvement on the TV speakers. An added bonus is the phono inputs meaning I can connect a turntable. Very nice, neat, stylish unit.

Tinny cheap sound

I bought this to replace a Panasonic soundbar I've had for 3 years. This new one sounds so cheap and tinny, my TV speakers sound better.

Brilliant

"I got this for my parents, as without it their tv sounded tinny and flat. But now it sounds fantastic. Deeper base and clearer. Much better sound quality. They are really happy with it. They now have the volume lower, but hear it better. "
