Spending $800 on a soundbar—$1,400 on a soundbar/subwoofer combo—is a significant investment by any measure. You can certainly buy cheaper solutions, but you'll be hard pressed to acquire a more satisfying one. If you're the type of person who looks at so...
Now outside of the demo in NYC, I wasn't familiar w/ Bluesound and what they bring to the table on the audio side of things. I definitely got acquainted w/ their sound and love it. Bluesound did a good job in blending old-school sound w/ new school execut...

No HDMI on the soundbar, more expensive than Sonos with fewer services supported,
After spending a long time with Bluesound (much longer than they wished I had borrowed the equipment for), I came away very impressed with it. The sound quality is ahead of Sonos unless you need extra bass, and the integration with streaming services is i...

In order to experience the full force of the Pulse Soundbar, I decided on viewing the 2015 effects-heavy hit Mad Max: Fury Road. Going in, I knew that the movie itself was an audio powerhouse, and wanted to see if the soundbar could add to the experience...

The Pulse Soundbar from Bluesound offers outstanding musical performance from a compact, slim line box. Whether streaming from Tidal, or music from a network storage device it delivers sonically.Its use as a replacement for home theatre duties is also via...
The first thing you notice when you take the Pulse Soundbar out of its box is that it's quite heavy! The best place to fit the Soundbar is underneath your TV or screen – and thankfully Bluesound have included a wall mount in the box so that you don't have...
Too tall for TV tables, No HDMI inputs, No remote control, Manual network shares
Although it dazzled us with its sound quality across the board – from compressed TV audio right through to lossless music streaming – the Pulse Soundbar just fails to be the home cinema hub it could have been. A multi-room network audio player that can fe...

No HDMI inputs/outputs, Bass could be deeper, No dedicated remote control, Quite expensive
The Bluesound Pulse is an impressive soundbar that achieves its goal of delivering a superior level of sound quality. The unit itself is quite large, which means it can use decent speakers that are able to deliver a wide and detailed soundstage but, depen...
