Honeywell Trueno U8000 Soundbar

A Lifestyle Upgrade with Immersive Audio

- WORDS GIRISH SHET

Honeywell's Trueno U8000 5.1-channel soundbar delivers impactful, room-filling audio for movies, music, and gaming, but its physical execution doesn't feel truly premium, with plastics and finish that look and feel cheaper than the spec sheet suggests. As a lifestyle upgrade, it nails immersion and connectivity, though discerning users may be disappointed by the tactile quality and visual finesse at close range.

The U8000 aims for sleek minimalism with a glossy black theme that blends easily beneath modern TVs and in open-plan living rooms. From a distance it looks tidy and contemporary, but up close the materials and surface finish reveal cost-cutting; the sheen can highlight fingerprints and the plastics don't evoke a high-end vibe. The compact satellites and sub keep the footprint manageable, helping the system integrate into media corners without dominating decor.
