What do critics say about the Marshall Heston 60?
One of the best compact Dolby Atmos soundbars the reviewer has tested, hard-hitting for its size.
A fantastic compact soundbar that pairs great looks with warm, music-friendly sound.
A well-built, attractive compact soundbar with good mids and dialogue, but lacking bass weight unless you add the costly sub, and with no remote and a buggy app.
