Like a lot of people, we’re spending a lot more time indoors, and we’ve naturally spent more time watching content. Whether it’s streaming TV, the return of sports or even throwing on an old DVD, watching content from home is undoubtedly one of the safest activities of 2020. But for those of us who miss going to the actual movies, there’s still something lacking in our home theater experience. And, more often than not, the missing link comes down to your sound setup. Of course, investing in a surround sound system can be quite pricey, which is why so many people are instead opting for soundbars. However, with the right products, you can enjoy the best of both worlds.
As it turns out, Sony has a solution in its new HT-G700 soundbar and subwoofer combo. The G700 has some impressive tech that essentially mimics the effect of surround sound audio immersion without you having to invest in an entire setup. Dubbed the “vertical surround engine,” the G700 helps to generate sound that expansively fills the room. All you have to do is press the Immerse AE (Audio Enhancement) setting.
