The Sharp HT-SBW53121 and HT-SBW55121 soundbars have been unveiled ahead of their European launch early next year. The company states that the models are “tuned by Devialet”, supporting Dolby Atmos. Plus, there are optional wireless rear speakers to upgrade your sound system.
Sharp revealed two new soundbars for the European market at IFA 2024, the HT-SBW53121 and the HT-SBW55121. Both models are said to have been tuned with acoustic engineering company Devialet and support Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and DTS Virtual:X technologies.
The HT-SBW53121 is a 550W 3.1.2 channel model, while the HT-SBW55121 is a more powerful 650W 5.1.2 channel version. Both soundbars come with a wireless subwoofer and can be paired with the new HT-SPR52021 200W wireless rear speakers, 2.0.2 channel, for an enhanced audio experience. For example, the HT-SBW55121 and HT-SPR52021 combine to create a 7.1.4 sound system that can produce 850W power. You can connect other devices to the soundbars using the HDMI eARC-CEC port or wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.0.
The Sharp HT-SBW53121 and HT-SBW55121 soundbars will launch in January 2025 for £379/€399 and £579/€549, respectively. Customers can choose between two colorways: Carbon Black/Aegean Blue and Smoke Grey/Satin Silver. The Sharp HT-SPR52021 rear speaker is expected to be released at the same time, priced at £219/€239. It is unclear whether or when these products could reach retailers like Amazon, where models like the Sharp HT-SB106 2.0 Mini Bluetooth Soundbar are already sold.
