Sony HT-AX7: immersive three-dimensional surround sound

Rechargeable battery lasts up to 30 hours

€550

Sony’s latest home cinema speaker is a portable system that brings spatial sound to whatever room in your home needs it. The HT-AX7 has three speakers, and includes Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which uses an algorithm to transform your stereo sound into three-dimensional surround sound, making it more immersive. It has a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 30 hours, and connects wirelessly over Bluetooth so you can move the speakers around the room and connect any compatible devices you have in your home.

It doesn’t come cheap, though, at €550.
