The Sony HT-AX7 is a ‚portable theatre system‘ with Bluetooth and 360 spatial sound, but a big catch will put most people off
If you’ve ever wanted a Dolby Atmos-style soundbar experience for your phone, laptop or tablet, then Sony has the product for you – but be prepared to fork out a lot of money for it.
The Japanese tech giant is introducing the Sony HT-AX7 to its home entertainment portfolio. This is a Bluetooth-enabled ‘portable theatre system’ consisting of three speakers, with its own custom 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology.
The main speaker is designed to sit in front of you, whilst the two smaller portable speakers can be placed on either side to ensure that sound is projecting from multiple directions. It only comes in a grey colourway, but the design is refined and would blend into many rooms.
The fabric on the speakers is made from 100% recycled PET bottles, and the packaging is plastic free.
You may be wondering why you couldn’t just use standard Bluetooth speakers instead. Well, Sony’s sound system analyses sound and separates it into different components.
