Last Updated on March 30, 2022 by Anu Joy

Sennheiser is releasing a new operating system for the company’s high-end Ambeo soundbar. The substantial software upgrade, dubbed Ambeo OS, offers new ways to play audio on the Ambeo. In addition to the Chromecast capabilities that the device originally came with, Sennheiser now includes AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect.

Ambeo OS Now Rolling Out For Sennheiser’s Ambeo Soundbar

Sennheiser claims that Ambeo OS has been carefully tuned in every way to offer a seamless and delightful experience. The user experience is smoother and more responsive when the Sennheiser Smart Control app is connected over Wi-Fi rather than Bluetooth Low Energy. Additionally, the operating system is said to bring improved security and stability.

Users of compatible products will be able to operate their devices via an enhanced Smart Control app after downloading the Ambeo OS update. The Sennheiser Smart Control app now includes several additional functions that enhance the operation of Sennheiser headphones, including Sound Check and Sound Zones.

Sound Check walks customers through three simple steps for selecting the best EQ setting for their preferences. On the other hand, Sound Zones allows users of true wireless earbuds to customise their EQ settings, noise cancellation levels, and transparent hearing function by assigning them to certain areas, such as at home, at work, or on the move. The system may alter audio settings dynamically based on the user’s location.

Smart Control now also allows consumers to customise their experience to a greater extent. There are user accounts that enable transferring settings and customisation between Sennheiser devices much easier. It also includes an intuitive equalizer, digital user manuals and access to the latest software and firmware for Sennheiser’s range of consumer products. Both the Ambeo OS and Smart Control app updates are now available.
