Verdict

The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus is an all-in-one 3.1-channel system featuring three full-range drivers, three tweeters, and two integrated woofers within a 94cm wide frame. Main characteristics include support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X virtual spatial audio, a dedicated centre channel for dialogue, and four EQ modes (Film, Music, Sport, and Night). Its primary pros are its affordable price point, exceptionally easy 'plug-and-play' setup via HDMI eARC, and significant improvement in vocal clarity and soundstage width over standard TV speakers. However, notable cons include a lack of physical up-firing speakers for true overhead Atmos effects, relatively weak bass performance without an external subwoofer, and the absence of built-in Alexa or Fire TV streaming OS capabilities despite the branding.

  • Significant improvement over built-in TV speakers, offering much-needed volume and depth
  • Dedicated centre channel provides crisp and clear dialogue, beneficial for users with hearing impairments

What customers dislike about Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus?

  • Confusing 'Fire TV' branding; the device lacks built-in streaming capabilities, Alexa, or smart features
  • Lacks dedicated up-firing speakers, which limits the height and immersion of its Dolby Atmos performance
  • No dedicated mobile app for advanced EQ or settings management; adjustments must be made via the remote
  • Intrusive and loud voice prompts that announce setting changes and interrupt audio playback
  • Sound can become harsh, shrill, or distorted at high volumes, particularly during busy action scenes
  • Minimalist LED indicator system is difficult to interpret without consulting the manual
  • Limited connectivity options with no HDMI pass-through, resulting in the loss of one TV port upon connection
