Toshiba SBM1W soundbar review

Dinkier than a corgi dog and looking less refined than a crate of raw sugar beet, in soundbar country the SBM1W is more Margate than Monte Carlo – and with just 40W of power, plus the 20W wired subwoofer, in home cinema terms the SB1MW is almost an...

Toshiba Mini 3D (SBM1W) soundbar review

The Mini 3D is so small, it will fit easily on a shelf underneath your TV. The simple black design is accented with silver buttons on top for power, volume, input and Bluetooth. In the box you'll also find a small, passive subwoofer. See all audio...

The Mini 3D soundbar has an impressive amount of power for its tiny size and sounds good in its 3D mode. There's also a good range of inputs and Bluetooth is a welcome extra. However, its sound is unbalanced and with no adjustment beyond basic...

Toshiba SBM1W Mini 3D Sound Bar: an affordable wireless speaker

The Toshiba SBM1W Mini 3D Sound Bar is an affordable Bluetooth wireless speaker that's suitable for iPad and iPhone owners. Here's our Toshiba SBM1W Mini 3D Sound Bar review.

Strong bass sound; Bluetooth wireless with multiple audio inputs

Higher frequencies could be more detailed

The Toshiba SBM1W Mini 3D Sound Bar isn't an audiophile system by any means, but the SBM1W is a good affordable option for listening to music or beefing up the sound on your TV. The subwoofer helps to produce a full sound, and it provides plenty of...

Toshiba SBM1W

Really great sound bar, looks and sounds excellent. Total value for money.

It's not really bad but it's not very mini, larger than expected.

Toshiba SBM1W

Very easy to use, exceptional sound, very well designed, compact unlike many other soundbars. Overall a very decent product at an affordable price! 3D sound is awesome!!

The inability to fine tune the sound as you only have 3 sound options for movies, games and music.

Toshiba SBM1W

It's compact. If you send them back within 7 days you can buy something else.

Subwoofer cable is way to short. Very poor sound quality. Without the 3d sound turned on the sound is worse than your average built in tv speakers. With the 3d sound on its a little better, but still very disappointing. The sound from the Subwoofer is...
