FAQs
What speakers work best in a small flat?
Compact bookshelf speakers or smart speakers like the Sonos Era 100 fill small rooms without overpowering them. Avoid large subwoofers in flats.
How do I stop bass from disturbing neighbours?
Use night mode on your soundbar, place speakers on isolation pads, and keep them away from shared walls. EQ down the sub-bass frequencies.
Is a soundbar worth it for a small flat?
Yes. A compact soundbar like the Sonos Beam replaces tinny TV speakers and fits under any screen without taking up floor space.
