This soundbase sits
under your TV looking
handsome but can put
out anything from a
subtle and nuanced
performance to a
tsunami of sound
through its many drivers.

Want superb sound
without a big price and
unnecessary extras? Q
Acoustics’ M3 combines
great simplicity and
great sound. Impressive,
affordable, and it wasn’t
hit with the ugly stick.

The Swiss Army Knife
of streaming delivers
4K HDR, isn’t locked to
a particular ecosystem,
has tons of available apps
and is a joy to use. It’s
the best streamer for
many people.

The Chromecast Ultra
is a receiver for phones
and laptops and depends
on them for control and
content – but it’s simple,
versatile and compatible
with iOS, Android,
Windows and Mac.

4K HDR for under £35
isn’t to be sniffed at. It’s
best suited to Prime
subscribers and Google
apps are absent, but
it’s a very capable and
affordable streamer

With 4K, Dolby Atmos,
Ultra HD Blu-ray and
DIDLUO\FRPSDFWSURĆOH
this is the best Xbox ever.
It’s even more powerful
than the PS4 Pro and
also a great home
entertainment hub.

We love the Switch,
which brings Nintendo’s
great gaming pedigree
to genuinely stylish,
premium-grade
hardware. Forget the
specs: it’s all about the
sheer joy of gaming.

It’s still overkill if you
don’t have a 4K TV,
but with 2160p HDR
gaming, the PS4 Pro
delivers incredible
visuals and is smoother
and faster than its non-
Pro siblings.

If it were just a soundbar,
the Beam’s great audio
would still make it
top – but with Amazon
Alexa, Apple AirPlay 2
and support for a billion
streaming services, it’s

More premium than

and while there’s a fabric
cover, we suggest you
remove it and just drink
in those drivers.
