Sky Soundbox

 

Sky and Devialet's Soundbox deserves to be a real hit for Sky Q customers.

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

A good soundbar that makes sense if you’re a Sky customer – as long as you have somewhere to put it.

Sky Soundbox review

 

Sky Soundbox brings premium sound to your Sky setup

Premium sound ; Easy setup process ; Intuitive sound modes

Box-like chassis not for everyone ; No Dolby Atmos ; Only one HDMI in

The Sky Soundbox is a fantastic-sounding speaker that packs premium technology into what is a puzzling form factor. When bought as an existing Sky customer, though, it offers great value for money.

Sky Soundbox review: almost a no-brainer for existing Sky Q customers

 

But if you don't have Sky Q, much better options are available as you won't be able to get the subsidised price

Superb sound quality ; Smart design ; Easy setup

Forget it if you don't have Sky Q ; A little too tall for many TVs ; Do you want Dolby Atmos instead?

Sky Soundbox review

 

Sky and Devialet combine talents to take on the soundbar market.

Clear, expressive, widespread sound ; Well built ; Easy to use ; Good integration with Sky TV ; Ample connections

Shape won’t suit all ; No Dolby Atmos ; Shockingly poor value to non-Sky customers ; Bass lacks definition ; Tough competition

Sky’s soundbar-cum-wireless-speaker delivers a big sound from a small box

Sky Soundbox review

 

Possibly the best-value TV upgrade ever... if you're a Sky subscriber

Effective Sky Q sound modes ; Crystal-clear vocal delivery ; Plonk-and-play usability

Overpriced for non-Sky customers ; Could do with more bass and dynamic punch ; Slightly awkward shape

A one-of-a-kind smash-hit TV sound booster for new and existing Sky customers

Sky Soundbox

 

Sky has teamed up with Devialet to create decent soundbar for your TV. But it's only a good deal if you can buy at a subsidised price.

SKY Soundbox review

  (Rating Hidden)

Less of a bar, more of a chunky box, this speaker system made by Devialet is offered to Sky customers with a decent discount. But is it even worth its discounted price? Find out in our full, expert review.

Sky Soundbox review: Awesome audio at a bargain price

 

Great sound quality makes this a bargain for Sky subscribers, but limited connectivity means it isn't worth paying full price

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...
