Bang & Olufsen Beosound Theatre: We Tried It. Here’s Our Honest Take.
Let’s start with the uncomfortable truth – ₹11,00,000 is a lot of money for a soundbar.
We know that. You know that. And yet, the moment the Beosound Theatre starts playing, that number stops feeling unreasonable. It starts feeling like the cost of doing things properly.
We’ve heard a lot of soundbars. Most of them do the job. Some of them do it well. The Bang & Olufsen Beosound Theatre does something different – it makes you forget you’re listening to a soundbar at all.
So What Is It, Exactly?
Think of it as Bang & Olufsen’s answer to the question: what if you didn’t need five speakers, a subwoofer, and a tangle of cables to get a proper cinema experience at home?
The Beosound Theatre is a single soundbar with 12 custom drivers packed inside, each one doing a specific job – bass, centre dialogue, left-right separation, height effects, surround. It decodes full 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos, and it does it convincingly. Not “for a soundbar” convincingly. Actually convincingly.
It comes in three sizes – 55″, 65″, and 77″ – built to sit perfectly alongside an LG OLED TV. Works with any TV, though. You won’t be disappointed either way.
What It’s Actually Like to Use
The first thing you notice isn’t the sound. It’s the build.
Solid aluminium. Real oak wood covers. A glass touch panel that lights up when you walk towards it, not because you pressed anything, just because it sensed you getting close. It feels less like consumer electronics and more like something from a design studio in Copenhagen. Because, well, it is.
Then you press play.
A good action film becomes genuinely immersive. Sound moves above you, around you, and in front of you in a way that makes surround sound speakers feel unnecessary. The bass from those two 6.5″ woofers hits hard and stays clean – no muddiness, no distortion, even at high volumes. Dialogue stays sharp and centred no matter how loud the scene gets.
The RoomSense system is worth mentioning too. It uses a microphone to measure your room and calibrate the sound automatically. You set it up once. After that, the Theatre handles itself.
When the TV is off, it keeps going – streaming music via AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Chromecast, or Beolink if you have other B&O speakers around the house. It becomes the musical heart of your home, not just a movie night accessory.

FAQ
Is the Beosound Theatre worth ₹11 lakh?
If sound quality and design matter to you seriously, yes. It delivers a home cinema experience that most speaker setups struggle to match – from a single, beautiful soundbar.
Does it work with any TV?
Yes. HDMI ARC/eARC connects it to any TV. LG OLED gives you a deeper app and remote integration, but it performs brilliantly with any screen.
Do I still need a subwoofer?
No. The dual 6.5″ woofers go down to 28 Hz. For most rooms, that’s more than enough.
