Sharp’s new soundbar: small footprint, small price

The HT-SB700 has been designed specifically for smaller spaces and smaller TVs, and it’s just 52cm across. That’s about 14cm shorter than theSonosBeam 2. And it’s much cheaper than the Sonos Beam 2 too, coming in with an RRP of just £199 compared to £399 for the Sonos. Of course I’m not comparing two identical specifications here – the Sonos is a more premium soundbar – but it does demonstrate just how keenly priced the new Sharp soundbar is.

In terms of connectivity you’re looking at Bluetooth 5.3 with SBC and AAC for streaming, and the HDMI port has both eARC and CEC control. Round the back you’ll find optical and aux inputs.

The new Sharp HT-SB700 is available now for £199.99.
