The Sky Soundbox is a odd device to review because the price varies so much depending on whether you're a Sky customer. If you are, the Soundbox is a steal at £299 or £249 for multi-screen subscribers.It provides excellent audio and has some clever featur...

Note that the box itself is 9.5cm high. That doesn't sound like a lot, but it might cause an issue if your TV doesn't have a stand that raises it up above that. When we went to see the Soundbox in a demo a few months back, Sky raised up the LG TV it was u...

Abstract: While Sky's announcement for this high-end soundbar may have come as a bit of a surprise earlier this year, the satellite broadcaster is by no means a stranger to offering up their own audio solutions.Long term Sky subscribers may remember the Gnome, a tr...

Basically, that last line sums it up. The Sky Soundbox is a very good TV speaker indeed, and if you're a Sky subscriber stuck using your built-in TV speakers or a cheap and nasty sub-£200 all-in-one soundbar, then this is about as easy a recommendation as...

Our time was brief, but at that stage we couldn't help but feel the speaker struggled with the tasks presented it in those early demonstrations. Especially with the automatic sound adjustment technology enabled. We need more time to evaluate its performan...
Clear, expressive, wide sound, Easy to use, Good integration with Sky TV, Ample connections,
Shape won't suit all, No Dolby Atmos, Expensive to non-Sky customers, Bass lacks definition,
Even though it's now much more affordable than before, at its ‘full' price of £499, the Soundbox is still too expensive. But for existing and potential Sky customers, the Soundbox is a positive success and, at £249, competitively priced. Our only reservat...
Weighty bass, Clear speech, Sky Q optimisation modes mostly work well, Large-scale sound from a compact unit
Sound lacks the subtlety for music, Awkward form factor makes it difficult to position, Not worth the higher price to non-Sky customers
All this sounds great, and in general it is, but the Soundbox's audio chops aren't the chief thing that impressed me. It's the sound system's pricing.The Soundbox as a standalone item has a retail value of £700, but new and old Sky TV customers will be ab...
