Review: Is the Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3 soundbar the one for you?
The Sonos Arc soundbar has some competition.
When it comes to selecting a soundbar in 2022, there's much to consider. Does it work seamlessly with the best audio streaming services? Is there support for Dolby Atmos? How does it look in front of a television? What does it cost?
The Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3, the British company's least expensive soundbar to date, has much going for it and checks all the right boxes. And yet, it's not the best soundbar at its price point. Still, there are plenty of reasons to consider it, as you'll discover below.

Sleek design

Dolby Atmos somewhat muted
