Marshall's first soundbar rocks as a mainstream alternative - Here's my take

The Marshall Heston 120 is the company's first dip into the home audio market, and it's a bold product that's packed with features.

I also watched the season finale of "Love Island" in stereo/PCM, and the Heston 120 reproduced clear dialogue and an enjoyable reproduction of the show's usage of cheesy pop music. I found this to be the case, especially since all the knobs on the Heston 120 are fully functional -- designed to be a physical way to toggle between outputs, sound modes, and bass and treble levels. Compared to the similarly priced Sonos Arc Ultra, the Heston 120 has a more prominent bass response, eliminating the need for an external subwoofer unless the room is especially large.
