This does sound a very good option for someone looking for a sound bar.
Thanks for the description.
All the best

Hi Alison,
I have the Soundbox in the games room, a room I hardly use but I have just
asked one of my children to show me the Soundbox Bluetooth feature, and I
think you are going to like this.
The Soundbox has three audio sources (inputs) HDMI, optical and Bluetooth.
To cycle between the three sources, and this is the good bit, you press a
dedicated nice big button on the remote control and Soundbox announces what
audio source you have chosen. So to connect your phone, you press that
button repeatedly until Soundbox says "Bluetooth, pairing mode", then you
simply connect your phone to it from the Bluetooth menu on your phone. Could
not be any simpler.
When your phone is connected, Soundbox is just an external speaker and your
entire phone's audio output is rooted through it, including podcasts, music,
VoiceOver and everything else really.
To go back to watching your TV, you again press the audio source button and
choose HDMI/optical. As I said, you will have the audio feedback too from
Soundbox to help you make your choice.
Soundbox is an external soundbar. Whether you can pair it to one of the
voice recognition devices such as Alexa or Google, I do not know I am afraid
but perhaps Sky can answer this. However, I think Soundbox will give you
exactly what you are asking for, a soundbar that produces premium sound and
quality bass, to which you can connect both your TV and phone and the
ability to switch between them with tremendous ease.
I am not sure if Sky are still offering this, but I had a 14 days cooling
off period from the date of delivery to change my mind.
I hope this helps a little.
