This unusual soundbar is an exciting (and niche) proposition

Canvas HiFi Canvas 65

This is not a Dolby Atmos soundbar, even though it is designed to attach to your TV to produce cinematic sound. It's also not really a soundbar at all in the traditional sense, as it's designed for your TV to be mounted directly onto it. However, this oddity in the world of home cinema audio is rather charming, and teaches us an important lesson: you don't need a shedload of processing to create a cinematic sound experience.

Loose comparisons with higher-end soundbars such as the similarly priced Sennheiser Ambeo Max or B&O Beosound Stage aside, it's hard to directly relate the Canvas to anything. In truth, it feels more closely related to a set of stereo speakers.

The Canvas HiFi serves as a stylish companion to your TV while also upgrading the sound. Set up in its floorstanding orientation, with a Sony Bravia 8 OLED TV affixed to the top, we can confirm that this duo looks rather suave. It creates a monolithic, freestanding look, with the included black fabric grille creating a seamless all-in-one aesthetic.

Included is a basic black fabric cover, which can be affixed easily with magnets.
