Sonos
I've had Sonos soundbars in my house for over a decade now. One feature I always have switched on is 'Speech Enhancement'. It never makes a show or movie worse. It always makes dialogue that little bit easier to hear. Now Sonos has announced it worked with the Royal National Institute for Deaf People in the UK to design even better Speech enhancement, offering Low, Medium, High, and Max options. They've added some machine learning to help extract the speech so they can juice just that part of the audio mix more to really help pull it out of the wider dynamics.
The new Speech Enhancement is available for the Arc Ultra now through a software update. Here's hoping owners of previous soundbars might see some of this trickle down in future? Fingers crossed.

But now Sonos completes its own range of 'architectural' speakers, working with Sonance to offer 8-inch in-ceiling speakers. One Sonos Amp can drive up to 3 pairs. These will go for $1,599 per pair – check out the whole architectural section of the Sonos site if you're after ceiling, in-wall, or outdoor Sonos speakers.
