Dolby Atmos and DTS:X from a single soundbar
Featuring up-firing and side-firing speakers, the Philips Fidelio FB1 soundbar delivers truly enveloping sound from a single cabinet. With sound bounced from the ceiling and walls, you get the cinematic effect of sound coming from all directions. Fire up a movie with a Dolby Atmos or DTS:X soundtrack and be immersed by overhead aircraft and bullets ricocheting around the room.
IMAX Enhanced sound
The Fidelio soundbar is certified IMAX Enhanced. This means you get a feeling of the IMAX cinema experience in your home. Renowned for thrilling dynamics, IMAX Enhanced is your guarantee of ‘edge-of-seat’ excitement with an intense audio range that stretches from whispered dialogue to window-rattling explosions.
Built-in subwoofer delivers powerful sound
With a subwoofer built-in, this Philips soundbar has you covered for bass. Whether it’s an all-action soundtrack, stadium rock concert or just music played from your smartphone, the Philips has a deep, powerful sound that’s a match for the best wireless speakers.
Great with music
Truly full-range music playback means this Philips also doubles as a capable music speaker. What’s more, a wide range of wireless connectivity makes it ready for your choice of music streaming. Built-in Chromecast gets you access to vast selection of music via the Google Play store. Spotify Connect is also built-in (requires Premium account). Other options include simple Bluetooth connectivity, USB playback and an optical input for your CD/DVD or Blu-ray player.
DTS Play-Fi for surround sound upgrade potential
DTS Play-Fi is a revolutionary system that lets you add a compatible subwoofer and surround sound speakers, wirelessly. The components can be from any Play-Fi compatible brand although, for the best results, match with Philips’ own W1 sub and S1 surround speakers. DTS Play-Fi also lets you link compatible speakers for multiroom playback. Set-up and control via the Play-Fi app and wireless audio has never been so easy and flexible.
Timeless design
Although packed full of tech, the smooth, minimalist design is easy on the eye. Wrapped with Muirhead leather trim, offsetting the mesh grille, the soundbar has a premium look and feel. For a sense of cinematic excitement, the upwards firing speakers light up, although you can switch the illumination off when the main event begins.
Calibrate for your room
The size and shape of a room, not to mention the density of furniture, all have an effect on sound quality. It’s for this reason that the Fidelio FB1 comes supplied with a room calibration system. Simply place the supplied microphone in the main listening position, press a button and let the soundbar measure the room’s acoustics and adjust its settings accordingly. The result is perfectly optimised sound, whatever the room’s acoustics.
Connects to your choice of voice assistant device
For family-friendly control, the Fidelio FB1 is compatible with all the main voice assistants. Simply connect to your Alexa or Google Assistant device and ask for simple commands, such as volume or track skip, by voice. Use the AirPlay 2 interface for control via Apple’s Siri.
Easy connectivity
With HDMI eARC, connectivity couldn’t be easier. This simple, high-speed connection is compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. It also helps in reducing lip sync issues and, in most case, lets you use your TV’s remote to control the soundbar’s volume (via EasyLink).
Enjoy a more expansive sound from your soundbar, with the premium quality Philips Fidelio FB1.

Great atmos experience
I bough one soundbar from richer sound and due to be undecided with it i swap to the Philips one, I was hoping not much different between this and the other soundbar ( Denon 550 ), but it is completely different, the sound is more clear and because also has more drivers you could have more musicality around. Overall is much better than the Denon the only thing to consider is you depend more on the remote control than the Denon and it doesn't have a rj-45 connection. Overall i am pretty happy with it.
