The Skyworth SS888 is a compact home-entertainment soundbar designed to improve the audio experience of your TV, movies, music and gaming. Although it is sometimes listed by retailers as a 2.1-channel system, Skyworth's current official specification identifies it as a 2.2-channel soundbar with two built-in subwoofers.
Powerful Audio
The SS888 is advertised with 300W maximum output, while the official technical specification lists 100W RMS. This distinction is important when comparing it with other soundbars because maximum/peak power is not the same as continuous RMS power.
The 2.2-channel configuration uses two main audio channels together with dual built-in subwoofers, allowing the soundbar to produce stronger bass without requiring a separate external subwoofer.
Built-In Dual Subwoofers
One of the main advantages of the SS888 is its two integrated subwoofers. This creates a cleaner setup because there is no large external subwoofer occupying additional floor space.
The built-in bass system is designed to provide fuller low-frequency sound for movies, music, sports and gaming, while maintaining a relatively simple and clutter-free entertainment setup.
Dolby Audio
The SS888 supports Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, helping improve the clarity and spaciousness of compatible movie and TV audio. Some listings also describe a 3D surround mode that expands the perceived soundstage.
It is worth noting that this is not a Dolby Atmos soundbar. It uses Dolby Audio processing rather than dedicated Atmos height speakers.
Multiple Sound Modes
The soundbar offers four selectable sound modes:
Music
Movie
News
3D
These modes allow you to adjust the sound depending on what you are watching or listening to. The News mode can be useful for speech-heavy content, while Movie and 3D modes are more suitable for films and entertainment.
Connectivity
The SS888 provides a good selection of connections, including:
HDMI ARC
Optical
AUX
USB
Bluetooth 5.0
HDMI ARC is particularly convenient because it allows you to connect the soundbar directly to a compatible TV and control the audio using the TV remote.
Bluetooth allows wireless music streaming from compatible smartphones, tablets and laptops, with a stated operating range of up to 10 metres.
Compact Design
The soundbar measures approximately 960 × 115 × 80.6 mm, according to Skyworth's technical specification. Its relatively slim horizontal design makes it suitable for placing underneath a television.
Because the subwoofers are built into the soundbar, there is no separate bass unit taking up space on the floor.
