Verdict

The Portronics Sound Slick II is a 40W RMS stereo soundbar featuring a 2.0 channel configuration with four 10W drivers and two passive radiators that deliver a frequency response of 180Hz to 20KHz. Its sleek 956mm long design is constructed from a solid mix of plastic and metal, offering versatile connectivity through Bluetooth 4.2, USB, and 3.5mm AUX inputs. Main pros include its loud and clear vocal performance at a budget-friendly price, a included remote control for convenient distance adjustments, and a compact, wall-mountable build that minimises wire clutter. However, notable cons include a lack of deep, thumping bass for action-oriented content, the absence of an HDMI (ARC) port, and a distracting bright LED indicator that cannot be turned off during use.
