The Edifier B700 is a certified 5.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar system with a wireless subwoofer, and it is one of the most complete home-theatre audio packages you can buy in India in 2026 for ₹64,990. Unlike the many “Atmos” soundbars that only simulate overhead sound through digital processing, the B700 uses genuine upward-firing height drivers that bounce audio off your ceiling to place effects above you — the defining trait of true Dolby Atmos. Add DTS:X certification, HDMI eARC, an 8-inch wireless subwoofer and 175W of total system power, and you have a serious cinema-in-a-box for Indian living rooms available at ProAudio Video.

This soundbar is built for the viewer who wants a dramatic step up from their TV speakers without wiring a full component receiver-and-speaker home theatre. If you watch a lot of movies, stream Dolby Atmos content on Netflix, Prime Video or Disney+ Hotstar, and want physical height channels rather than faked surround, the B700 is aimed squarely at you. At ₹64,990 it sits in the premium mainstream bracket, competing with 5.1.2 and 3.1.2 bars from Samsung, Sony and LG while undercutting most of them on channel count.

Sound Quality & Performance: How Does It Actually Sound?

The B700’s headline trick is height, and it delivers. The two angled up-firing drivers create a convincing dome of sound above the listening position, so rain, aircraft flyovers and overhead action in Dolby Atmos mixes genuinely appear to come from above rather than from the bar. Across a roughly 50m² room — the size Edifier targets — the front left, centre and right channels stay clearly separated, giving dialogue a locked-in centre image that many single-speaker bars smear. The side beam surround channels widen the stage well beyond the bar’s physical width, and while they can’t fully replicate discrete rear speakers, they wrap the room convincingly for music and most film content. The 8-inch wireless subwoofer reaches down to 45Hz, delivering weighty, room-filling low end for explosions and bass-heavy soundtracks without the boominess cheaper subs suffer. Movie mode is the star, but Music, Voice and Game modes each retune the balance sensibly — Voice mode in particular lifts dialogue clarity for late-night viewing at low volume.

Build Quality & Design: Is It Built to Last?

The B700 carries Edifier’s typically solid build. The main bar measures 850mm (33 inches) long with a low, wide-mesh profile that tucks neatly beneath 43-inch and larger televisions without blocking the screen or IR sensor. A front digital LED display shows the current source and sound mode at a glance — a genuinely useful touch missing from many rivals that rely on cryptic LED blinks. The finish is a matte black (an iron-grey option exists in some markets) that suits modern living rooms, and the wireless subwoofer is a substantial down-firing cabinet that feels dense and inert rather than hollow. The bundled full-function infrared remote covers input switching, mode selection, and independent bass and treble trim, so you rarely need to reach for a phone. Everything about the package feels engineered to sit in one place and work reliably for years rather than to be endlessly fiddled with.

Features & Connectivity: What’s in the Box?

Connectivity is a strong point. The B700 offers HDMI eARC plus two additional HDMI inputs for passthrough, along with optical (OPT), coaxial (COAX) and AUX inputs, so it slots into virtually any TV or source. HDMI eARC is the key connection: it carries lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio from a compatible smart TV, and it also lets your TV remote control the soundbar’s volume. Wireless duties are handled by Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD support for higher-quality music streaming from phones and tablets, while the subwoofer links to the bar over a robust 5.8GHz wireless connection with strong anti-interference performance. Four EQ presets — Movie, Music, Voice and Game — are selectable from the remote, and the front LED keeps you informed of what’s active. In the box you get the soundbar, the wireless subwoofer, the remote, HDMI and optical cabling and the power leads — a complete plug-and-play home theatre with nothing else to buy. The main omission is smart streaming: there’s no Wi-Fi, AirPlay, Chromecast or multi-room app, so this is a home-cinema bar first and a music streamer second.

Value for Money in India 2026

At ₹64,990, the Edifier B700 asks a premium-mainstream price, but the channel count justifies it. Most Dolby Atmos soundbars in India below ₹70,000 are 3.1.2 configurations, meaning they fake the surround channels entirely. The B700 gives you a full 5.1.2 layout — five main channels, a subwoofer channel and two real height channels — which is typically the preserve of ₹80,000-plus systems from Sony and Samsung. Factor in the certified Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, HDMI eARC, aptX HD Bluetooth and the wireless 8-inch sub, and the B700 delivers a genuinely complete cinema package rather than a starter bar you’ll want to upgrade. For Indian buyers who prioritise immersive movie sound over app-based streaming ecosystems, it is one of the strongest value propositions in its class, and it’s available with fast delivery across India at ProAudio Video for ₹64,990.

Who Should Buy the Edifier B700?

✅ Buy it if you: want a true 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos system with real overhead height channels; are upgrading from TV speakers or a basic 2.1 bar and want genuine cinema immersion; need HDMI eARC for lossless audio from a modern smart TV; and want a complete wireless-subwoofer package under ₹70,000 with nothing extra to buy.

❌ Skip it if you: mainly want a music-first system with Wi-Fi, AirPlay and multi-room streaming; need discrete wireless rear speakers for full rear-channel separation; or have a very small room where a compact 3.1ch bar would be more than enough.
