Bowers & Wilkins makes some superb speakers, but can the grand old brand of British audio make a great-sounding soundbar?

The Panorama 3 isn’t supplied with a remote control but basic functions like volume levels and speaker mute can be controlled using the TV’s remote thanks to the eARC connection and CEC. If you want more remote functions, you’ll have to rely on an iOS or Android smartphone running Bowers & Wilkins’ Music app. If you haven’t got a smartphone, you’ll be in a pickle as a smartphone is essential for setting up the soundbar.

Once it’s up and running, it’s clear that the Panorama 3 is a powerful soundbar. It sounds very good at higher volume levels but perhaps a little less impressive at lower settings where the absence of a subwoofer makes itself felt. I used the Music app to tweak the soundbar’s bass and treble settings to give the sound a bit more oomph when listening at normal levels.
