The Honeywell Suono P1000 Soundbar is a compact 2.0-channel Bluetooth soundbar designed to replace your TV’s thin built-in speakers with fuller, clearer stereo sound — without the clutter of a separate subwoofer or a complicated setup. Priced at just ₹6,999 in India (down from ₹9,999), it pairs a built-in amplifier with dual 52mm drivers and offers genuine HDMI ARC connectivity, something many soundbars in this budget quietly skip. For a large number of Indian households, this is the first — and often only — audio upgrade a living-room TV ever needs.

This soundbar is built for the buyer who wants a real, noticeable improvement over TV speakers but does not want to spend ₹15,000 or bolt a bulky wireless subwoofer to the wall. If you live in an apartment, use the TV mainly for news, streaming shows, YouTube and casual movies, and value a tidy, minimal setup, the Honeywell P1000 is squarely aimed at you. At ₹6,999 it competes with boAt, Zebronics and GOVO, but wins on simplicity, a slim 80cm form factor and plug-and-play HDMI ARC control.

Sound Quality & Performance: How Does It Actually Sound?

The core promise of the Honeywell Suono P1000 is clarity, and this is where it delivers the most obvious upgrade. Its dual 52mm drivers, powered by a built-in amplifier rated at 15W per channel for 30W total, push the vocal and mid-range frequencies well forward. In practice, that means dialogue in news broadcasts, Hindi and regional serials, and streaming dramas becomes noticeably easier to follow — the muddiness and boxy tone of a flat-panel TV speaker simply disappears. For most Indian living rooms where the TV is primarily used for talk-heavy content, that alone justifies the ₹6,999 price. The true 2.0 stereo separation also gives music and movie soundtracks a wider, more open feel than a single-speaker TV can manage. Bass is honest rather than exaggerated: because this is a 2.0 system without a separate subwoofer, you get tight, controlled low-end that adds body to voices and light impact to action scenes, but it will not shake the floor the way a 2.1 soundbar with a dedicated sub can. The five selectable play modes let you nudge the tuning toward movies, music or news, which helps you dial in the balance for whatever you are watching. Pushed to maximum volume in a large hall the P1000 shows its limits, but in a bedroom or a small-to-medium living room it stays clean and distortion-free.

Build Quality & Design: Is It Built to Last?

Honeywell has kept the P1000 deliberately understated. The cabinet measures 80 x 6 x 6 cm and weighs just 1.25 kg, wrapped in a sleek glossy black finish with a metal-grille front that looks far more expensive than the ₹6,999 asking price suggests. The slim 6cm height is a real, practical advantage: it slides under the screen of most 32-inch to 55-inch televisions without blocking the panel or the IR remote sensor, and the light weight makes it just as easy to wall-mount beneath a TV. The bar feels solid in the hand for its class, with no obvious flex or rattle from the enclosure. As a full-length single bar rather than a sound base, it visually balances a modern flat TV nicely. It is designed and marketed for typical Indian home environments, and the compact footprint means it works equally well in a bedroom, a study, a hostel room or a small office. There are no wireless satellites or a subwoofer to find space for — it is a genuinely one-box solution, which is exactly the point.

Features & Connectivity: What’s in the Box?

Connectivity is the Honeywell Suono P1000’s strongest selling point at this price. It offers Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless streaming from a phone, tablet or laptop with a stable range of up to 10 metres, plus a genuinely useful set of wired inputs: HDMI ARC, Optical (TOSLINK), USB and a 3.5mm AUX jack. The HDMI ARC port is the standout — it lets a single cable carry audio from the TV to the soundbar while allowing your regular TV remote to control the soundbar’s volume and power, so you never juggle two remotes for everyday use. Optical input is there for older TVs that lack ARC, USB lets you play music directly from a pen drive, and AUX covers legacy sources. In the box you get the soundbar itself, a remote control, and the necessary connection cables, along with a 1-year manufacturer warranty. The five play modes are selectable from the remote, and Bluetooth pairing is fast and reliable. There is no companion app and no Dolby Atmos decoding, but at ₹6,999 the combination of HDMI ARC plus four other input options makes the P1000 more flexible than several pricier rivals.

Value for Money in India 2026

At ₹6,999 — discounted from a ₹9,999 MRP — the Honeywell Suono P1000 sits in one of the most competitive corners of the Indian soundbar market. What you are paying for here is not raw wattage but simplicity, build and connectivity. Rivals such as the boAt Aavante Bar Quake Pro and Zebronics Juke Bar 9600 push higher power figures and throw in a subwoofer, but they are 2.1 systems that need extra placement space and cabling. The P1000’s argument is the opposite: a clean, single-bar upgrade with full HDMI ARC that just works. For an apartment dweller, a student, or anyone buying their first soundbar in India, that is a very sensible ₹6,999. If your priority is a floor-shaking home-cinema experience for action movies, you will want to look at a 2.1 option; if your priority is clearer everyday TV sound with a tidy setup, the P1000 is strong value. Backed by a 1-year warranty and ProAudio Video’s after-sales support, it is an easy, low-risk recommendation for the budget buyer.
