Likewise, it’s a decent alternative to a gaming headset, as the defined soundscapes of a first-person perspective translate slightly better to these small nearfield drivers. The crisp, bright quality of the SRS-NS7 does make it well suited for taking calls and with excellent echo and feedback rejection. Swapping to the non-360 version is louder, less diffused, with more immediacy and dynamics, though there is still some low-end distortion and a slightly tinny top end. Streaming Biffy Clyro’s Space in Sony 360 audio from Tidal, there’s a nice spread of the guitars and strings, though tonally, the music lacks depth, weight and drive. Low frequencies also cause the neckband to vibrate considerably, which some may find distracting.

Unfortunately, when watching in Atmos, that lack of clarity and the diluted vocals results in us consistently running the speakers at maximum volume.

Impactful bassy sounds are an issue for the small drivers within the SRS-NS7, and there’s frequently distortion when listening at higher volumes.

With this dense soundscape full of ominous low orchestral instruments, roaring traffic and gunshots, there’s a loss of coherence, and the experience is quite claustrophobic. Swapping back to Atmos, we watch the car chase sequence in The Batman on Blu-ray.

We tried this set-up with a Sonos Arc, and by delaying the audio to the soundbar slightly in the Sonos app, we could use both sources simultaneously without one affecting the other significantly.

When 3D sound is turned off, a TV can output audio to both a soundbar via ARC/eARC and the SRS-NS7, meaning that if one person is hard of hearing, they can enjoy a more targeted sound source than others in the same room without the unsociability of headphones. It is undoubtedly audible to others within the same room, but the sound is directional with a short throw, making it well suited to those who might want to watch films without disturbing others in the same household. The SRS-NS7 is still less isolating than open-backed headphones, though. Given that they are perpendicular to your ears, the drivers' focus is pretty well targeted, and despite initial concerns that the soundfield might be too indistinct and open, we instead find that it is often difficult to hear ambient noises while listening to content. Turning off 3D sound helps to clear things up, bringing dialogue further forward, and on the whole, it feels anchored to the screen. What's more, Sony’s spatial technology cannot hide the fact that the sound is being produced at the sides and rear of your ears with what feels like a fairly gaping hole in the front centre. However, this isn’t as convincing with lower sounds, such as ominous distance thunder, and the heavily processed sound detracts from the authenticity of the soundtrack, particularly with voices that feel unnecessarily reverberant and fuzzy. Starting with The Dig on Netflix in Dolby Atmos, we can immediately appreciate the 3D technology that the SRS-NS7 offers, spreading high-frequency atmospheric effects such as rainfall and chirping birds around us with some sense of directionality.

This meant we could not tweak the EQ while watching films, but we find that keeping the EQ flat generally provides the best overall performance with most content anyway. Although the SRS-NS7 can connect to two devices simultaneously, when one is for music playback using the A2DP protocol and the other for communication using HFP, we were unable to connect via the app while using the neck speaker with the WLA-NS7 transmitter. Settings for the puck can be found in the TV’s ‘remotes and accessories’ menu, where 360 upmixing can be toggled on or off. It can be used with any TV to improve Bluetooth stability and latency, but only when it's connected to a Bravia XR TV does it transmit a signal that can be up-mixed to virtual Atmos. Shaped like a small puck, the WLA-NS7 can also be purchased separately for use with Sony headphones (£50 / $60 / around AU$87). But included in the box is Sony’s WLA-NS7 wireless transmitter, which connects to any Sony Bravia XR TV via optical and USB cables (also included) and acts as an interface between the TV and speakers, reducing the latency of the Bluetooth connection.

With Bluetooth 5 on board, supporting LDAC, AAC and SBC codecs, the SRS-NS7 can link directly to portable devices and TVs.
