MAJORITY Snowdon Soundbar : Great Quality for the Price

Posted on by

Came by post earlier then expected. Got it working with my smart tv by blue tooth so no wires required except the mains lead. The sound is a lot better then my tv speakers.

Great sound and very easy to set up. Makes a big difference to the dialogue using the voice button. Haven’t used the bluetooth yet but i’m sure it will be just as good.

On opening the soundbar looks great, the setting up took a while as i connected through bluetooth but got there eventually. Now set up the sound is great, so much better than the speakers on my tv.

Given 5 stars because it arrived on time but i would not have paid full price for this. Only worth it on a low offer. Not the loudest and bluetooth range is limited.

Having sued the product, i can say it is amazing. Enhances your listening pleasure. Would definitely recommend it.

Snowdon Soundbar with Built-In Subwoofer Surround Sound, 120W Wireless Bluetooth Device Streaming, Remote Control, Wall Mountable, Optical Compatible, RCA cable included : Really good soundbar for the price. Value for money is exceptional. The sound is amazing below 98% volume, the bass is really rich and strong for this bad boy. Sometimes when i turn it on it automatically connects to the last bluetooth deviced used but sometimes it dosent, so i have to manually connect it. This process can take up to a minute or two but once its connected oh boy im making my walls shake. The only drawback is the one mentioned above with the connection. Comparing this to bose and samsung soundbards: samsung sounds 10/10 but its £400, bose sounds 10/10 but its £500. This tiny company makes this soundbar that sounds 9/10 for £50.Its so amazing you should definitely buy it .

Great product, feel like i have my hearing back. ???’sound improved drastically especially on dvd box sets of tv programmes. I’m not very technically minded but after reading reviews chose the snowdon and think for the price got a bargain compared to what i could of spent. Shame an optical cable not included in box as until it arrived didn’t realise my 14 month old tv wouldn’t work without so quick online order and sorted. The remote is really small too, so don’t lose it down the back of the sofa.

Like look of product and ease of installation. . Dislike intermittent sound breakup. T know why as not occurring all the time and on all programmes difficult to track down fault.

Great value for money, using on our 2nd tv and its a massive improvement on the built in speakers in the 43′ lg tv, and the bluetooth is pretty handy too. Easy to set up and used brackets to hang below the wall mounted tv so looks ok too.

Makes me feel like i’m at the cinema at times. Does exactly what i wanted it to.

What a great bit of kit,at a very good price,i cant fault it ,its stylish,and sounds very good ,what a difference to my blueray watching experience.

Bought this item to enhance the sound quality on my tv which has amazon music and videos attached. With having hearing problems i was experiencing missed dialogue and poor quality sound. Problem solved with this purchase. Am so impressed have ordered another one for my daughter and am sat here awaiting delivery. Easy to install even for a 70 year old technophobe and great value for the money.

The sound bar was easy to set up but you do need to buy an optical cable which is a bit frustrating. Sound level and quality is fine considering the price you pay for the item. Had it a month no problems so far.

Looking for an inexpensive solution to stream background music in our dining room we chose the snowdon based upon previous reviews. Although some reviews had been negative, the majority were positive. Although the bass isn’t particularly dynamic, the output is more than adequate for its chosen use and we are very pleased with the performance. Excellent value for the cost.

Was against buying a soundbar as just another piece of kit to gather dust, but our new tv has really weak speakers so thought i would try this as not as expensive as many others. So good i’ve bought another for another tv. Early days yet but with a three year guarantee should be ok.

Arrived quickly and appropriately packed with built in wall mountability. A definite improvement on my lg tvs sound quality and volume. Only downside is high initial volume on switch on.

Great soundbar, can be used to enhance your tv audio or as an audio output for devices connected to a projector (how i use it). The sound is great and has aux, bluetooth and optical along with line-up. Great connection options and excellent product for the price.

For the money i can’t complain – much better sound than my tv speakers. I have linked via bluetooth pairing and this is a bit faffy because each time you want to use the sound bar you have to go into the tv settings and tell the tv to send its sound via bluetooth and thus the soundbar. This isn’t the fault of the sound bar, its just a faff – i assumed that the two would link up automatically when the sound bar was switched on. That being said, once linked the sound is clear, i mainly use it for watching movies and its a vast improvement over the tv speakers – much richer sound. One thing i did find was that if you turn the volume down to a low level you start getting drop out of the sound – i think this is the tv not broadcasting any sound at low levels – this make for a strange sound on/off effect. Obviously if you are using the sound bar it is probably not because you want to listen to things quietly – but after watching a film i wanted to carry on watching tv quietly and this doesn’t work very when using bluetooth (to re-iterate i don’t think this is in any way a fault with the bar it is just the nature of the bluetooth broadcast from the tv). I might get an optical cable at some point (i know you audiophiles are already screaming at me to do this 🙂 ) and i suspect that will remove these minor issues. I have been looking for a bar for a while and checked out several in stores in the £60 to £100 range and sound wise this is a match for all of them for a lot less money.

Sounds good, much better than the speakers in the telly.

Easy to set up but needs to be reset when changing channels, has made a huge difference to sound quality , no longer tinny.

Brought this as have new tv and this just makes it better the sound quality is great and sounds great well made if there was one thing i don’t like is the remote control very small could do with being better made and larger other than that ok i giving it 4 stars because of the remote as stated would have been 5 stars if remote was bigger and better made.

Fantastic sound very loud for the money it’s a right bargain use it all the time now i’d recommend this sound bar to anyone and i’d recommend the seller fantastic item and seller very happy with it thank you.

Sonos PLAYBASE Wireless Home Cinema Sound Base – Amazing product!

Posted on by

I bought this with some trepidation but i went with the great reviews and took a leap of faith and so glad i did. It alongside its little sonos friends and sub fill my home with beautiful sounds everyday.

Having already had two play 1’s i was tempted to purchase the playbase. Linking the playbase to the two play 1, i now have awesome sound in my room. Make sure you change the sound settings in all your devices. Once done, you’ll be blown away. Yes it’s a lot of money, but you won’t be disappointed.

Wasn’t as easy to set up as intended but customer service/support were ready to help and fix the multiple issues. The product itself was as expected in terms of build quality and sound. Superior to most on the market. Is it worth the money, time will tell but so far so good. Here are the specifications for the Sonos PLAYBASE Wireless Home Cinema Sound Base:

  • Make sure this fits
    by entering your model number.
  • TV sound and music you can feel, from a speaker that blends into your room’s design effortlessly
  • Two-in-one; adds cinema sound for your TV and streams music, too
  • Simple two-cable setup; one connects to the power; one connects to your TV
  • Works with your existing TV remote; speech enhancement setting
  • Syncs wirelessly with SUB and two PLAY:1s for 5.1 surround sound; touch-interface controls and lights
  • Connect Playbase to any Amazon Echo or Alexa-enabled device, then just ask for the music you love
  • With AirPlay, stream directly from your Apple devices or ask Siri to play your favourites from Apple Music throughout your home

Sonos sounds are amazing and sound is very clear and crisp. Easy to setup and add on more speakers or an optional subwoofer. Playing music loud the music does not distort at all and being wireless you can place these speakers anywhere in house. The price you pay for this sound system is well worth the money.

Even better paired with my sub.

Reviews from purchasers :

  • this with some trepidation but I went with the great reviews and took a leap of faith and so
  • Good alternative to the sound bar
  • Easy set up, custom settings and superb sound!

Bit underwhelmed by surround sound.

A little expensive but well worth the money. The sound reproduction is first class.

For the most part, this is superb. A very easy setup, it looks great and holds our tv above it. The sound is mostly excellent, and frankly in a small room the bass is good enough not to need a sub as well. But you really need to be sitting directly in front of the playbase to get the most out of it. And, imho, it required quite a bit of tweaking of the eq to get the right balance along with the two play 3s we have for surround sound. By contrast the playbar and play 3s in another room seemed much easier to get the balance right. Although perhaps that was the difference with the shape, size etc of the room. Tv dialogue can sometimes be quite quiet with music and background nosies (especially with a lot of bass) quite booming at times. However once you’ve sorted out the right eq balance, this is superb. Music, tv, films are a joy to listen to and watch.

And its versatility via iphone and ipad makes it a great investment.

Great bass and clear cristal sound.

Excellent sound, far superior to the tv (which wasn’t bad) with a sense of clarity and precision. Easy to set up and works well as the heart of a distributed sound system – i can now listen to the tv, apple tv and dvd sound the house, as well as internet/computer/phone sources. It could be a little louder for my tastes, but that will no doubt be improved when i can afford to add a sub.

Just mined blowing sounds amazing go buy one thats all i can say ull never need to go cinima again hooked up with a 65 inch 4k tv.

Sonos playbasethis is a complete and long review. If you want the summary, scroll to the bottom. Cheersi’m a bit of an audiophile and i currently have a complete 5. 1 surround sound system via an av amp but have used soundbars in the past; specifically a high-end sony offering. So i was delighted to be given the opportunity to try-out this device from sonos. Sonos are well known for their wireless home audio players. I own several of their devices; two play 1s, one play 5 and a connect. When you buy a new tv, their inbuilt speakers tend to be pretty poor so buyers, like me, opt to but separate sound systems to get better sound. In this field you have many options ranging from multi-speakers separates through to cheap and simple soundbars and plinths. Whilst the best sound can be obtained from multi-speaker set-ups, a lot of people don’t like the complicated set-ups and the aesthetics and therefore go for something like a soundbar or plinth.

I had been thinking about buying the soundbase since it’s release in april but was put off by the price. Finally gave in when the price dropped to £649 and glad that i did. It arrived quicker than expected and it was very easy to set up. I have some sonos play 1 speakers and now use them to create surround sound for the tv. As others have said the sound is amazing, the depth of tonal quality and base is great. When using the soundbase to play music it is something else, i can hear things that i normally wouldn’t using another system. Of course i have to wait for my other half to go out so that i can turn up the volume.

Great sound and easy to set up. It blends in perfectly and is a massive improvement in the sound quality from the tv. . The quality of dialogue is great. Just missing that really deep rumble. If you want that cinema experience you will need a sub woofer. . I bought a couple of sonos play 1s to use elsewhere in the house but have had a play this weekend and linked them a surround sound speakers to the playbase. . The immersion was briliiant especially in action scenes.

I love had this for a few months now and have it under my tv in a small lounge/diner. I cannot rate this speaker enough. There is no requirement for the additional base for the smaller rooms as it is more than adequate. The sound is crisp, clear and deep. I love playing my music directly from my phone no matter where i am in the house. No complaints from the neighbours when watching late night films either with the night mode. I couldn’t recommend it more. Can not wait to build a mini collection around the house.

One optical cable from telly to sonos. And is also a brilliant streaming music speaker. Pricey but golden quality for those who can afford it.

Superb sound and the set up was so easy. Love the advanced settings where the back l+r speakers settings can be customised when in tv mode and different for music mode.

I am so glad i made the investment in the sonos playbase. David f smith’s advice below, as i did, though i found it rather cryptic. After a bit of digging i sorted it and understood what he meant. I’m not techie but in our house, i’m the one who must sort stuff out and you helped a great deal. If you have sky, you must change the audio setting to dolby digital. We have sky q so i selected ‘settings’, then ‘setup’, then ‘audio visual’. From here you chose ‘dolby digital’ for the ‘digital audio output optical’.

Debated spending the money, but so so glad i did, well worth it. Usual sonos quality, ease of use along with easy set up and integration. Highly recomended – if you can spare £700.

Sony HT-SF150 2ch Single Soundbar – Quaity sound from a small device

Posted on by

Great sony addition to the soundbar for the money. Easy to setup and takes only minutes to get things up and running. But if you need deep bass look elsewhere, otherwise go for it.

I am an amazon vine reviewer. I am reviewing the sony sound bar – model ht-s100f/sf150. It arrived well protected in a box with polystyrene supports. There are several items of “paperwork” within the box. I homed in on the large single-page “start up guide”. It opens out and i followed the clear step-by-step diagrams, which showed me the contents in the box and how to connect the sound bar to my tv. Included is an optical digital cable. What is not included is an hdmi cable – which you will definitely need to get to make the tv-sound bar connection. I had a spare hdmi cable of sufficient length –about 1 metre long, which i used in the set up. If your tv has an out mdmi “arc” (audio return channel) connection then you don’t need the optical digital cable.

Had a bose solo 5 the set up was a bit more complicated as are settingsbut sony soundbar compares favourably volume waysstill to get used to it as yet. An update here am 100% pleased with my sony soundbar. Here are the specifications for the Sony HT-SF150 2ch Single Soundbar:

  • Make sure this fits
    by entering your model number.
  • Powerful surround sound thanks to S-Force front surround and bass reflex unit
  • Simple connectivity: one easy HDMI connection to TV and instant music listening from your mobile device via Bluetooth or USB
  • Elegant, slim design with soft edges to effortlessly place in front of your TV or wall-mount
  • The two speaker setup delivers front surround sound from a compact unit
  • Send audio and control information from your TV using just one cable with HDMI ARC

I’m using this with sony kdl46hx853bu tv, now obsolete, but at the time feted for having decent sound for a flatscreen due to a nifty integrated stand-cum-soundbar. This means that for this add-on item to be notably better, it would need to be very decent for this price. And so it is a pleasure to say that it is a step, albeit a modest step, up. The sound is definitely fuller, it is much less abrasive at higher volumes, and the variety of tuning options (cinema/speech/quiet etc) really do all add a pleasant timbre to the sound, or adjust nicely for lighter listening. In my view the soundstage is wider too, with better definition of left and right parts of the picture. There’s no clever depth of staging though, and the sound is not in any way as cinematic as a modest pair of actual speakers might produce with some half decent amplification. On practical matters, the setup was incredibly simple, although one would expect so given the same-brand nature here; it requires an hdmi connection to the tv, and if this isn’t a 2-way port, an additional optical digital connection (the connector for this is supplied; an hdmi lead is not). It comes with a remote, but slaves automatically to the tv’s remote also, so it is possible to minimise clutter, and, in addition to the tv input, has a bluetooth connection, so it can double up as a speaker for radio/music or whatever from a mobile device. This makes it a handy thing to have, which can to some extent mean its added clutter is offset against a device or two removed from the lounge. Appearance wise, it is unfussy and unobtrusive.

Got this soundbar since the sound on my new sony bravia tv was so thin. The soundbar has two tweeters and two woofers and a bassport on the backside. It is one of the cheapest quality soundbar that i could find. I am more than happy with this soundbar. The sound is 100 times better than on my tv. The voices are really clear and distinct. And the volume can get loud enough. You will not get deep punchy bass, but the bass that is there, is more than enough for me. The soundbar also looks great. I connected it via optical link without any problem since i used up all the hdmi-port on the tv.

Reviews from purchasers :

  • Best sound bar I’ve owned.
  • A simple soundbar with limited connectivity and no sub-woofer
  • Pleased with purchase

Five stars for quality, design, versatility and ease of setting up and use, 3 stars for sound overall = 4* on balance. This is a beauty to look at and a cinch to set up. It truly improves our lg flat screen tv’s sound, bringing it alive with clarity, fullness and bass (an excellent, well controlled bass, too, considering there’s no sub-woofer). It has settings for voice clarity, also, which is good if you are hard of hearing or just find certain dvds have poor sound, as we do. If you have no room for a subwoofer, respect your neighbours, then this is a good choice sound bar that will not disappoint. The ht-sf 200, at another £50 looks to be well worth listening to, also. If you want truly immersive sound, you’ll need to pay far, far, more (think sonos).

I have a sony tv which has pretty good sound already. I also have a surround sound system that is great but to be honest only ever used for the odd film that needs it. Which is where this sound bar comes in. Easy as a normal tv setup requiring little wiring and looks neat and tidy with far better sound than the on board speakers with the tv. Not as good of course as a decent surround sound setup but way better than the bog basic tv sound. You use the template lined up with the bottom of the tv (if you are wall mounting this) and then mark the drill holes. Plug and screw in some screws and hey presto. If i’m honest i would not use the template lined up with the tv because it sits the bar quite a bit lower and you can see the sound and power cables. Given the location of the bass port at the back i really don’t think you need any space apart from that required to access the touch buttons on the top. That means i could have set this about 1′ or 25mm below the tv and it would still be fine but look a bit neater. Connections are via hdmi or fibre optic or both. A power socket is needed as well of course.

This sound bar was simple to set up – we used hdmi, but you can also connect using optical audio, usb or bluetooth. Sound is great – really clear, and at high volumes it’s loud, and really good bass.

Ok i bought this sony sound bar from amazon used , as expected outer pack was damaged , what do you do with package throw it away. The equipment inside was as new every thing was there, took me 5 mins to set up now have a lovely sound on my tv would highly recommend by used i saved £ 50 .

Great sound bar, easy to set up, easy to use and great sound through either tv or playing music from bluetoothed phone connection, onlydown side is getting the sound balance right when switching from bluetooth music back to tv, remember to turn the volume right down. Otherwise it will make you jump.

Purchased as a gift and the were very happy with product.

This sony ht-sf150 soundbar is a simple solution if you want to improve the sound from your flat-screen tv. Connectivity is rather limited, but ok for it’s purpose, with just a single hdmi port, an optical-in and a usb port – but other devices can be easily connected via bluetooth. If your tv is fairly modern it will probably have an arc-enabled hdmi port, if it does you must use that one to connect to this soundbar or you will not be able to hear anything from it. If you have an older tv, or have something else connected to your tv’s arc-enabled hdmi port, then you will need to use the optical tos link instead – an optical cable is provided for this purpose. If your tv has neither arc nor optical-out then you will not be able to use this soundbar with it. This ht-sf150 is a slim single-unit soundbar that does not come with a separate sub-woofer so the bass is comparatively light – if you like a bit of deep audio oomph with your films and music then this is probably not the model for you, but if you just want to hear the tv sound a bit more clearly then this speaker will be fine. For simplicity this soundbar can be placed in front of your tv, on a shelf below it in a cabinet, or it can also be wall-mounted below your tv if you want to use it in that type of configuration. Sony’s s-force virtual surround sound technology works fairly well – but better with some material than others – and the bass reflex system is ok for the unit’s size. The bluetooth connectivity is useful and saves having to find another speaker to play music from your phone or tablet when indoors – something you will probably use regularly. This new model from sony is currently around one hundred and forty pounds from amazon making it reasonable value for the features and build-quality and it is bound to suit many users looking for a simple tv audio solution – bass-lovers may want to spend a little extra on something a bit more substantial.

I used this with my sony bravia tv and it has improved the sound. I have the different modes and my daughters disney films sound great on cinematic. I haven’t tried the bluetooth option yet but music on the tv sounds really crisp. It also has a night mode which seems to remove the base to stop the sound travelling.

Overall this is great – it was very simple to set up and connect to a samsung tv. It improves significantly on the sound quality and makes watching the tv much better. If connected to a dvd player it means that it acts as a sound system for audio cd’s as well. So that was an added bonusthe bar itself is nice and slim and makes an easy fit into our tv cabinet without being intrusive.

In the box is the soundbar itself, a remote, an instruction manual for both and an optical input/output cable. The instruction manual was simple and easy to read. It made it look very easy to set up to the tv and had a few troubleshooting options as well. Unfortunately, we were unable to connect the soundbar to our tv as our tv doesn’t have an optical cable input. The instruction manual says you can connect via hdmi (arc) but, for some unknown reason, it doesn’t work for our tv, despite it having that input. As a result of this we haven’t been able to use it on our tv and, our sony soundbar is now our bluetooth speaker underneath it. There may be a workaround i suppose, but we haven’t looked into it as yet. Despite that disappointment (which is more down to our slightly dated and low-spec tv rather than this product), most importantly this soundbar has amazing sound quality; it has lots of bass and can be played very loud without distortion. Thankfully, it was simple to connect with bluetooth on our phones and laptops, so, until we upgrade our tv, we are just using the bluetooth feature with our wireless devices and the sound is excellent.

I can actually hear my movies. Using this in arc mode on my 43inch 4k lg tv and it has saved me so much hassle. Bluetooth works perfectly so i can listen to my deezer playlist without having to use the tv app or external speaker. The first film i watched when i set this up was jurassic park on blu-ray and the sound was so much better than my tv speakers by miles. You are in that moment, it’s late but you can’t hear anything being said, you turn it up and you go ‘much better’ and then wham, bomb goes off and your heart drops. No more of that with voice/night mode. Plus the games also benefit and too i can hear the actual voices. Even low sounding films like dark was the night was vastly improved. I had an old bose solo tv base and sadly the sound has been lacking for years and one of the worst purchases i made, so i set myself a budget and wanted the bass inside the speaker as i didn’t want a sub woofer on the floor to be kicked around or annoy my neighbours. This just fits me perfectly, it will never beat a true surround setup, but it’s easy to use.

MEGACRA Soundbar – fine. But misled.

Love it i had a roth ll and it was playing up so i decided to send for this one, what a great choice its so much clearer than the roth.

Just the right size and does the job perfectly.

Out the box noticed the quality is pretty good, nice weight and feel. Hooked it up to my amazon echo and then the echo dot, both bluetoothed without problem, sounds great, hooked it up to my 40′ hisense tv via optical cable, wow what a difference to the normal tv speakers. Tried both tv and then xbox one. Love the fact i can also plug in a usb stick with mp3`s on and it sounds a damn sight better than my pc speaker system. All in all for £80, i am more than happy with it and would recommend it. Update: soundbar seems to have disconnected from my amazon echo, it connects but there is now no sound from either the echo or the soundbar, it still connects without problem to my iphone 6s+, so no idea what the problem is. Megacra limited want me to send in a video of the soundbar not working.

Easy to set up, sound quality is fantastic i’d definitely recommend.

Love the blue tooth element. Can travel around the house and play my music anywhere.

A very good purchase for the price. It easily produces enough bass that is both satisfying and exsilerating. The only down side is the 3d effect of the speaker. For a highlighted feature it’s more of a gimmick that performs at a mediocre level. There are some instance where it performs at a level that gives a reasonable experience. Overall the product is a good buy for a lower end soundbar at its price.

  • Very Nice quality Sound Bar for a Great Price
  • Great Value, some minor grievances
  • Great for the price

Excellent value and can’t find fault with the soundbar. Nice crisp sound with a nice deep and crisp treble. Easy to use and easy to install as all you have to do is use template supplied. Only had it couple of days and so far i couldn’t be happier, i would recommend this to anyone.

Great product easy to install and works fine. No adjustments to bass or treble though just 3 choices of their choosing.

Great sound, came with an optical cable in the box. The 3 profiles are good too.

Great sound and excellent after service from megacra, i would recommend this soundbar to anyone.

Needed one of these for the gym as the television sound is somewhat drowned out by the loud machines. This was easy to install and works perfectly with excellent sound quality. Good purchase and reasonably priced.

Unfortunately all the reviews are muddled together for each size of soundbar – this review is for the smaller 28inch model. Well made, solid perfectly packed with everything you need and good conectivity. A shame the reviews on here are general with only one found for this size of soundbar from megacra. I found there to be very little improvement on the sound quality or clarity compared to my 37′ toshiba lcd. There are no sound presets on this smaller model so no way of adjusting eq not clearly explained in the description. I had hoped for clear sharp sound but it sounds a bit muddled on most sources and unable to adjust. I would imagine and hope the larger size soundbars are more dynamic. May well be an improvement on very poor tv audio but not mine. Its not expensive so maybe i expected too much but all is not lost as i will use for my computer screen and streaming box.

Easily connects to the tv with optical cable, which is supplied, although is a cheap cable and i may buy a better one in the future. Also comes with wall brackets and a handy template for drilling in the right places if you want to do that. Easy to set up just remember to either set your tv to external speaker mode or turn your volume down. Other wise it sounds very echoey. The sound of the speaker is a little tinny at times but still decent. I would of liked to be able to chance the base but this option isn’t there. Dthe speaker is a good size and worth the money.

This is a great soundbar for the price. The sound from my flatscreen tv was never brilliant but this is really boosting it up. Have tried connecting via the aux to the headphone socket of the tv and also via the optical cable. Both work great but you have to remember to turn the tv sound down (on my tv at least) or else you get sound from both which is a bit echo-y as others have pointed out. The fact that there is an echo means that the soundbar is a tiny bit out of synch but, for the most part, this is un-noticeable. I love my new soundbar and dr. Who will never be the same again with this in place.

Good sound dar easy to set up would recommend.

Nice sound when it works, it’s ok on optical and usb, but the bluetooth works when it wants, at first it was great, but now alexa can’t connect and neither can my phone hence the 3 stars.

The sound is great and the customer support outstanding. I had a problem with the sound fading in and out after a few weeks of purchasing. Contacted their customer service who persisted with trying to resolve the issue and finally they sent me a file to upload directly to the bar.

Why choose us-we are recommeded brand on amazon brand list, all MEGACRA products under 12 month worry free warranty.

Excellent sound bar for the price. I was surprised by how good it is. It looks great and is easy to setup.

This is a great buy for the money. I bought mine for a home cinema room but i initially had some unrelated issues with latency due to having to use a hdmi for image and a bluetooth connection for the audio output from the 4th gen apple tv which i had connected to the projector. Fortunately i was able to resolve this cheaply with a hdmi sound splitter. The speakers are very decent and the soundbar is easy to use with a nice quality look and feel.

Not knowing much about sound-bars i relied upon reviews on amazon to make my selection. On reading the reviews i was unaware that all the megacra models were lumped together within that listing, what i wanted was a sound-bar that i could adjust between 3 – sound modes (as with the larger megacra models) what i got was the 28′ model (which is what i wanted) but with no adjustment, apart from volume. Supporting my mistake, when i received notification/confirmation of my order the link in the email took me to the larger megacra sound-bars which have the 3 – sound modes so i didn’t realise my mistake until the item arrived and i read through the booklet and physically examined the sound-bar. Anyway like i say its a good sound-bar but not what i expected.

0 connectivity 3 audio modes 60 watt 34 inch sound bar with 2 bass reflex tubes, 4 speakers, remote control and wall mountablethis review is for the 34′ model item model number: up-s11-black. Are slightly different from the lager model megacra s9620, 38’the sound bar looks really smart and is quite heavy 3kg thanks to the good quality speakers inside it. Its 60w power which is more than i need to fill my sitting room with good quality sound. It has various inputs including optical, digital coaxial and rca left and right. I have it connected to a 43′ lg 4k smart tv via the optical lead (included in the box) the sound is truly excellent i’m no expert but i am fussy about the sound and this passes the test. It has a remote control which works very well to change volume, input source and sound mode. There are three sound modes✔ 3d surround mode: , sr-1(music), sr-2(movie) as everyone’s tastes and setup are slightly different just choose the mode you like depending on what you are watching. I’ve been using the 3d mode for watching movies and netflix & amazon.

The unit is very simple to setup and the sound quality via the optical cable is superb. The bluetooth connection to my smartphone is also very simple and again it sounds great. The remote control is useful and simple too. Just need a universal remote now :).

For the price it is a really goodunit, it has a crisp clear sound and no issues with connectivity. I have used it on bluetooth for phones and ipads, and optically linked to the tv. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere and are requiring extreme base, this will be adequate for most people’s needs. Compares to the top end sound system on my hot tub, except it’s not waterproof.

Crisp Soundbar with Enhanced Bass: 3 inches full range drivers and dual bass ports that bring the richer and deeper bass, boost a loud sound that fills the room without distortion.

I’ve had one of these for a year having tired of the thin squeeky sound from our tv, which wasn’t cheap. Very happy with it and i’ve bought another one ofr our other tv. Easy to install with all ncessary connections included, it also performs well with bluetooth.

Bought this to try to improve my hearing of some of the poor diction in us films etc and on the whole does this fairly well, perhaps a little too much bass for the spoken word but music is good. Only drawback is i can’t get it to work with netflx,ok with sky, bbc etc, tried looking for cures and it seems lots of other people have trouble with netflix so why have the suppliers not tried to fix it or at least offer some guidance.

I have a 2008 model sony bravia that is an excellent tv so i’m loathed to buy a new one,but because of its age i don’t have the digital optical or coaxial connections on my tv although i do have them on my humax dvr which works when connected this way but not very well because the sound from the tv comes through as well as the sound from the soundbar and i found it difficult to get the right balance. That left me with the right and left analogue ports on the tv to the jack on the on the soundbar or, the headphone jack on the tv to the left and right analogue ports on the soundbar both options via the rca cable supplied. The second option works very well for me as it mutes the sound of the tv which to my ears gives a clearer sound from the soundbar without it being distorted by the tv’s sound. Also connecting this way allows me to use my tvs remote control to control the sound from the soundbar. Having used it for a week i find it makes the sound clearer and there seems to be less mumbling, and i don’t have to keep asking my wife what people have said on the tv.

Amazing sound, great build quality and such amazing value. This sound bar well outstrips it’s price. The sound is well and above the quality of so many so call high brands i have owned/used. Great bass, outstanding high tones and superb speech / mid tones. This is a biog bugger and really looks the part. Nice and weighty with clean lines all round. I have cranked this baby up to max volume without a single distortion or undue vibration creeping in. Simple wonderful and such great value :).

We are using this with a blaupunkt 32inch tv – what an improvement to the overall sound quality – strongly recommend.

Received sound bar today and the set up was very simple. L connected it via blue tooth but the voices were out of sync with the television but when l hard wired it with the connections l got with the bar,the sound was very good better than expected. L would have preferred it to be done with bluetooth but will settle for it being hard wired maybe it is my reception. On the whole l am pleased with my purchase and another thing it is bigger than l thought it would be.

Great value sound barpros-great price: on the cheaper scale-connection options:there is various connection options including bluetooth and optical, i don’t notice a drop in audio quality over bluetooth which is great-build quality: very well build sturdy unit-sound: i amen’t able to compare to other sound bars but what i can say is this significantly improves audio compared to your tv. For the price bracket i very much doubt you will be dissapionted with the quality, if you are buying then comparing to something far more expensive then you may be able to find faultscons:the light: the light on the front is annoying, imho it should dim out when audio is in use, there is no need for a light to be showing in the bar, it is even more annoying if using bluetooth as the light flashes bluepreset audio options: whilst the options are useful and do improve different types of things you are using it for like music or movies it would be good to have more than 3 options.

Control the Soundbar with Your TV Remote: With IR Learning function which could be programmed by your TV/cable box/universal remote to control the power, mute and volume.

This connects with our tv (non bluetooth) effortlessly and our mobiles.

This is not an expensive soundbar but let me tell you now. Works brilliantly with modern tech. Looks good too and its easy to use.

Great sound bar for the money. Used for the television in the bedroom. No distortion even with volume on high.

Seems good quality for the price, generally no complaints. Does cut out completely when only quiet sound is coming from the pc though, which isn’t a problem i’ve had with any other speaker. Also occasionally cuts audio for a second or so without any apparent reason, but this isn’t too noticeable on the whole.

I am no ‘techi’ and bought this based on reviews to replace one that failed after thirteen monthsvery pleased so far – easy to set up as long as you know that optical plugs have a cap on them, which needs to be removedbut excellent so far.

Superb sound bar with decent bass and tremendous clarity. Looks good, well-made and pleasingly heavy. Comes complete with optical & rca leads and is so easy to install, you don’t need the handbook that comes with it.

Wired and Wireless Connections: Connect with Optical, RCA inputs(cable included) or Pair via Bluetooth for seamless streaming from various devices.

Beats my 4k tv speakers all ends up with the 3 preset modes also very handy. 3d mode with suitable films makes it a different and excellent movie experience. Have paired my iphone and tablet thro bluetooth ( which is painless ) with it and the sound is great. To date haven’t experienced any glitches as with some reviewers.

Bought as a rescuer for a 40′ tv with low sound levels and the fantastic ability to buzz like a herd of wasps stuck in an upturned beer glass when the sound was up high enough to actually hear anything. Actually contacted the seller to say the sound didn’t work properly through digital until i realised that i’d used my old optical cable and not the one included. You must use the included cable and it switches fine between bluetooth and optical with a splendorous ease.

You know as soon as you feel the weight of it and the way it is packed that it is a quality product. I bought it purely to listen to my music downloads on my iphone – and it is brilliant. Excellent bass and treble with a huge reserve of volume, and at a price that represents great value. I’m fussy with sound, as my main speakers in the house are all b and o, so i’m very confident in recommending this product.

A bit bigger than i was expecting – i hadn’t checked the measurements properly so my fault really – but it fits under my lg 32′ tv. Works using spdif from both my tv and youview box (not at the same time). The sound is well balanced across the spectrum with not too heavy (but noticeable) bass and very even mid- and top-ranges. No, it’s not as good as you’d get from bose, or similar, but for less than £70 (i bought it on black friday) you do get very adequate sound that improves significantly on the tinny ‘dross’ you get from a modern tv.

A chunky soundbar that looks the biz. Not much bass though but that makes it perfect for my bedroom.

Good quality, reasonable price.

Great sound barpros-amazing price-connection options:there is various connection options including bluetooth and optical,-build quality: very well built, looks expensive which i like-sound: absolutely on par with other top brand soundbars.

This product has greatly improved my listening experience as a viewer with the hearing problems associated with age. Apart from the need to raise the television to stop the bar from obscuring the standby button on my set. The only operating problem was the need to remember that the remote control provided also controls the sound level – the television remote control will mute the sound altogether if inadvertently used instead.

Worked straight out of the box and great sound.

Like everyone else, i bought this sound bar to improve the speech quality of my flat panel tv. Well it is very neat, seems solidly built and it works. Speech is very clear and plenty loud enough for the room it is in. Yes of course bass tones are limited but then i was not seeking heavy bass and anyone who is, should look at much bigger sound bars or those with a separate bass speaker. The handset is big enough and the buttons are well sized and easy to use. Very good value little sound bar.

JVC Compact Sound Bar : A recently acquired panasonic 39in led tv had me realising how poor the sound was – tinny and often quite difficult to decipher. Audio connectivity was not great and it was a faff to connect the tv to my hifi. Researched soundbars to death, taking in to account a number of factors;1) the wife2) the wife3) price4) size and appearance5) quality6) the wifeit became apparent that “normal” soundbars are usually about a meter long. Under considerations 1,2 and 6, that meant that was too big and the thought of a separate sub woofer would have meant her being taken into hospital.I am not an avid film viewer so i don’t need to experience the wall shaking force of the demise of the death star. The spec of the jvc th-d227b soundbar was exactly what i wanted – small, but a quality brand and well reviewed. At five pence under £60 its cost was relative to what i wanted it for – an enhancement to the existing tv sound. So, is it any good?in my opinion this is one of the best buys i have ever made – there is noticeable sound improvement and by combining the tv sound with that of the soundbar (via optical connector) i get a much more rich sound with noticeably more depth, particularly with narrations/dialogue. Using the bluetooth connectivity with my mobile, the sound quality is good enough for me not to feel obliged to fire up the adjacent £1000 hifi, when all i want is some background music. It is a seamless fit with the telly resting naturally on the tv’s built in stand – i honestly do not think my wife noticed it for the first dayit was a cinch to install, the remote is basic but very functional – i pretty much only use on/off and vol+ and vol-.

Don’t expect full hi-fi surround sound but for the price the sound quality is excellent and there is a decent range of adjustment to get it exactly to your liking. I use it with a 22′ samsung telly and the sound bar is connected to a sky hd box via an optical cable, but here there is a slight catch-if you use it with a sky hd box the sound from non-hd channels will come through ok, but you won’t get any sound at all from hd channels unless you adjust the settings on the sky box. Go into settings, sound, then make sure that digital audio output-optical is set to normal, then you’ll be ok. You’ll need to do this as well if you use a co-axial cable to connect the sound bar to the sky hd box. Very good for the price and recommended.

Delivered as estimated despite christmas busy period.

Pleased with my purchase, thank you.

I bought this for use as a stereo pc speaker and for this use it is ideal. The sound bar is compact and produces good quality sound. Certainly better than the other pc speakers that i had tried in the same £50 or so price range. To get better sound you really would have to spend considerably more. The remote control and bluetooth are useful added extras.

Discrete little sound bar that has provided definite gains over the tv’s integrated speakers. Makes hearing speech much easier in films, but also provides a surprisingly decent and rich overall sound too.

What a great product plus good service.

Great sound bar,improved sound quality of my tv.

Great value and compact design, don’t use the cables it comes with. A few extra pounds spent on better cables makes a big difference.

Surprisingly good for it size works well just waiting for some optic cables.

Can’t wait to plug it in and hear that sound.

Brought this sound bar for me mum, its a very nice size, and no large subwoofer, which me mum likes. The main problem she has is when she is watching films from her blu-ray / dvd player the sound from her tv is not the best, she complains about the music and sound effects being to loud, then when the actors begin speaking, she finds it hard to hear them, so she is constantly turning up her tv and down which is very annoying. But since i brought this sound bar she has noticed a big difference, even i noticed the sound was much better. I did buy this much cheaper from curry’s / pc world for £49. You can connect vie coaxial, or optical, you don’t get the optical lead with the unit. I have set up the bluetooth and the music sounds crystal clear, might buy one for myself.

LG Electronics LG SJ2 Soundbar – some other sound bars so slightly flying blind otherwise good.

Great sound, we tried a cheaper one without the subwoofer but this is so much better, it is like being at the cinema.

Wonderful service , and great product.

Excellent sound quality, thanx.

Bought this to pair with a projector in my bedroom setup, decent value, but sound is not the best i’ve heard (compared to a surround sound system in my living room). I bought this principally for the bluetooth connection option as this makes more sense with a projector. I’ve not used this technology for video before, but have noticed that sound and video end up being a half second out of sync. Not terrible, but quite noticeable, i’m not sure if the bluetooth transmitter or the receiver in the sound bar are to blame, but it will do for now.

Really like this soundbar, it’s very neat and slim and the sound quality is really clear and loud it has a nice bass provided by the very neat wireless sub. Setting up with an optical cable is basically plug and play.

Not full hifi quality but good sound from a tv.

  • Great for the money
  • Great for the price but with no major drawbacks.
  • Great all round speaker, play Spotify music via bluetooth!

Nice looking sound bar, not great sound.

Sound is superb and set up was easy. Only problems are that the warranty was in every language but english and the mains plug was 2 pin with no adapter for british sockets,so i had to purchase an adapter.

Works great, but even with a bluetooth enabled lg smart tv it works much better with an optical cable. Over bluetooth it needs you to go into the tv menu and select it each time you turn on the tv.

Easy to set up and sounds great.

Easy to install but you need to purchase a connecting cable. I’ve set up with an optical cable. The sound quality is great, much better than the samsung one i had previously.

Set up upon arrival on my 2 year old smart tv. Has instantly transformed my movie enjoyment, clean crisp sound and a sensible bass level. The bluetooth connectivity is also a big + as the hdmi connection on my laptop no longer sends audio to the tv.

While there is nothing wrong with the device. . It is not a wireless device. Only the bass (sub woofer) speaker is wireless from the soundbar. The soundbar has to be connected to the tv using a optical in/out cable. You will have to provide the optical cable separately as is does not come with the speakers. You can connect other ‘bluetooth’ devices to it.

I am not an expert and have never bought a soundbar previously so i have nothing to compare it to and have only had it a short time. Having said that, i bought the product to try to improve the sound quality of our tv and it has definitely done that. It was easy to connect and pair to the tv using the optical link and being bluetooth i can play the music on my ipad through the soundbar wirelessly. I have seen soundbars much more expensive than this but i’m glad i chose this one.

For news programmes and others which are mainly speech i think my samsung tv is slightly better. This soundbar seems very slightly muffled in comparison and if the volume is just a bit too loud it’s harsh with an ‘s’ turning into ‘sh’. However on drama, films and particularily music it comes into it’s own and is excellent.

Very good pleased i purchased this item.

Sound quality is definitely above average, especially considering the low price of soundbar. Biggest flaw is lack of proper dipslay of volume/bass levels. I wouldnt say it plays like a 160w speaker. More like 120 in my opinion. Anyway its loud enough since i have neighbours so cant go beyond crazy levels anyway. Subwoofer connects to soundbar automatically just in a few secs.

Multi-Channel Sound – Two speaker drives are placed within the bar to deliver a high quality sound output.

When plugged in there is no volume or other information on tv screen as with some other sound bars so slightly flying blind otherwise good.

Upgraded my lg tv with this sound bar and it sounds wonderful when watching movies and tv shows. Pretty big and powerful sub does it’s job great. Very good quality for lower price ;).

Spend a little over £100 on this sound bar and, suddenly, your tv watching experience is full of lush sound. Wouldn’t recommend the cheaper version – but there is a 300w one that costs a bit more – if you have a larger space to fill with audio.

Brilliant the sound is very good easy to set up would recommend.

Purchased this after my standalone hifi died – it’s connections now enable me to not just play my ipod with good quality sound, but thanks to its bluetooth, my online music and now my tv through optical cable. I’d not realised how ‘tinny’ my tv’s in built sound was until i got my sound bar. Easy to set up and operate; very pleased indeed.

Wireless Subwoofer – Free your living room from wires.

I got a cheaper one that was had 120w from lg that was better in my opinion.

High quality sound, easy to set up and the woofer is great. Improves the sound from the tv beyond belief. The blue tooth also allows you to stream music from your phone or from your pc hard drive.

A vast improvement to my tv sound.

Awesome sound and bass for the price. Medium sized, will fit anywhere. Bluetooth , line in and optical connectivity well appreciated.

Nice sound and no trailing wires. Excellent for general home use.

Great product with good high quality sound.

This lg sound bar with sub woofer works perfectly with my lg tv.

Cinematic Sound – Tweeter and woofer components housed in a single speaker unit produce powerful and clear cinematic sound.

Easy to install, great sound, worth every penny.

Bought it for my sister in-law. It’s transformed her tv experience for the better. The sound quality is a big step up from built in tv speakers. It’s not anywhere near as good as a 5. But then at this price it’s very much you get what you pay for. For a bedroom set up it’s ideal.

A really nice little sound bar that sits well on a desk. Mainly brought this as it was the only sound bar that i could find that was the same length as my lg 29um68 29 inch ultra-wide ips monitor. The wireless subwoofer packs a good punch and helps reduce the wiring clutter around my desk. Having a nice choice of inputs is going allow me to also connect my record player in to this as well.

My television is eight years old now with pretty mediocre speakers, this has given it a new lease of life. Very easy to set up with the bar connecting automatically to the subwoofer, also via bluetooth to my macbook so i can now use it for music as well. Cables on both the speaker and subwoofer are maybe three foot so bear that in mind for your set up. One thing i thought to mention for using any speaker equalisation/amplification app such as boom 2, make sure you turn this off before using the speaker as it really distorts the audio. Had me thinking it was broken before i figured out it was the app.

As expected with lg equipment well made works perfectly.

Easy to set up – excellent sound.

Mold Grill Design –

Pleased with the looks, quality and most of all the sound quality. For an inexpensive piece of kit it is excellent.

Bought this and the sound bar to to upgrade my old system that didn’t have bluetooth connectivity andso far i am impressed with it. I have connected my blu ray player and bt vision box ( via an rca splitter ) to aux 1 and my digital tuner to aux 2. It is much less complex to set up and use as my previous goodmans cinema system. It doesn’t have the various sound options that some home cinema set ups havesuch as concert/hall etc but what it does have is clear amplified sound from my chosen connections. The sub woofer is wireless and sets itself up automatically ( and is a necessary accessory in my opinion )as it would sound too tinny without it. It also has it’s own bass, treble and volume settings. The bluetooth is easy to set up and use, although you have to rescan each device when you want to use it asthere is no memory to store each bluetooth item in. Not too sure about the fm radio as the aerial supplied is a bit too feeble to get any kind of decent reception, however, i didn’t buy it for the fm tuner as i already have a dab tuner to connect to this with a suitable external aerial for good reception. All in all this is a very good value sound system and has the basic connections ( 2 rca and bluetooth and an fm tuner if you need it ) enough to enhance your listening experience.

No speaker cables included made what was a simple connection unnecessarily frustrating. . Good sound quality but annoying lack of set up instructions specifically no indication of the type of speaker cables required which cost a further £10. My tv needed an rca cable red and white to headphone jack not an rca red white to red white which looks like the obvious solution.

Bluetooth soundbar dave lee. This is so good 4 the money very good sound as bluetooth 2 with radio tv sound so so good with this easy set up just put in earphone jack on the tv and thasts it your all done so easy. So get it now u well lov it well not send it back as so so good 4 the price mr lee in oldbury sandwell.

The kng sound bar gave a very good performance but had a problem with my lv tv remote which conflickted with the kng ,resuting in the sound bar going into hibernation if the one button was pressed. The dealer was very understanding and as helpful as possible,and has arranged for a return and a refund. Thank you digital technology of barnstable, for your help.

Samsung HW-J250 – soundbar speakers (80 W, 2.2, Dolby Digital, DTS, Wired & Wireless, 18 W, 0.45 W) : Overall very happy with the quality of the product. Overall very happy with the quality of the product. I was a little annoyed that buying this to go with samsung tv they were not compatible on a bluetooth level as it was very difficult to connect wires to the location i wanted. The packaging certainly suggested that the bluetooth would work. But that aside, quite happy.

Fantastic product, very good sound quality. I would seffibatly buy this product again.

Very happy with this sound bar.

This is a good soundbar nice bass and easy to use and set up.

I wasn’t disappointed with either the delivery time or the product. Having only seen a negative review relating to the speed of delivery i was a little reluctant to get this but other reviews of the product seemed positive and for the price i decided to give it a try. I wasn’t disappointed with either the delivery time or the product, which came with wall mounts and an optical cable with it. The soundbar seems to have originated in italy so it came with a 2 pin plug but i swapped this with a 3 pin version i had in the house (it’s a standard lead – not kettle). Now, i am no audiofile but the sound from the soundbar is seems to be very good and clear (no distortion that i have noticed). There are a few sound effect settings that i have yet to try such as voice, echo etc. But i am happy with the simple clear sound i am getting. Linking my macbook and iphone was simple and straightforward (i have my tv sound routed through the optical cable). Overall, very happy with the product and felt that it needed a review outside of just delivery.

For a small lounge it is a ideal unit great value for ammount paid.

Very happy with this sound bar.

A good product with a couple of little flaws. . This was a christmas gift for my husband and i didn’t realise it came with a european plug but this was easily sorted with a british shaving adaptor. The product overall is pretty good, it looks nice and is easy to set up and get the bluetooth working. It also didn’t come with instructions in english but again it was easily rectified by looking them up online. The only down side is sometimes the sound starts breaking up for no apparent reason during a movie. It’s happened on three or four occasions now and i’ve looked up other reviews and it seems many other people have had the same issue. It does work again once you switch it off for a while and it’s not a huge problem because when it’s working, the product is very good. Just a bit annoying when this happens.

TaoTronics Sound Bar 34-Inch 40 Watt 2, economical soundbar

Posted on by

I found that an audio digital cable worked best (but you have to mute the sound on the. Setting it up was a bit of a palaver, the cable in the box didn’t fit any sockets on the back of the (new) samsung tv. I needed to go to the local supersheds to get a couple of cables to try which kind of defeated the object of internet shopping. I found that an audio digital cable worked best (but you have to mute the sound on the tv manually). You’d think that for the sake of a couple of quid they would put one in the boxand it was a bit fiddly getting the hang of the remote control. It has to be aimed directly at the sensor on the bar and the leds indicating the volume on the sound bar are a bit hard to interpret. Having said that the sound quality and volume from the sound bar is good and a great improvement on the tvs built in speakers though i haven’t heard other sound bars to compare it to. And the price seemed very competitive compared to other sound bars i have seen so i might get another one for the bedroom tv.

Works well only issue is that it does not hold volume level when turned off.

Much, much better than new smart samsung tv sound, which is exactly what i bought it for. No fine tuning of bass or treble and it has to be re-linked to bluetooth every time its switched on. Remote control won’t work if more than 2 metres away, which is annoying (tried new batteries) but overall its the sound that counts.

Comments from buyers

“Well designed full featured product, pity ours is faulty, Great sound, but, I found that an Audio Digital cable worked best (but you have to mute the sound on the “

Needed to get sound bar (tv is awful without) as my original one failed. I connected via optical cable to tv – when i switch on tv the sound is mute until the sound bar is switched on. My tv switches off automatically by use of a gadget that takes it off standby. I suppose the optical cable sends a switch off message to the sound bar – my original soundbar never did that so i am perplexed. My old soundbar was not bluetooth but even as i am not techy i do not think that has anything to do with it. Anyway it was not terribly expensive so i shall live with its frustrating niggle.

Listening to music using it at the moment.

Works well only issue is that it does not hold volume level when turned off.

Would be improved with a more effective base sound happy as it does what is expected for our small tv.

Works really well and sounds great. I use it rigged up via optical to my ps4, bluetooth to my phone and/or echodot and aux in from my projector. The little remote works great and the sound from all inputs is excellent. 1 dts (or it seems to at least) via the optical input from my ps4.

Wanted to improved tv sound without upsetting terraced neighbours. This was ideal as it doesn’t have a big thumping bass.

And not the auxiliary ones supplied for an analogue tv i now have it working and am very pleased with it. Arrived quickly but the hand book is limited for people who are not technically minded as i did not realize it would need an optic cable,and not the auxiliary ones supplied for an analogue tv i now have it working and am very pleased with it.

Well designed full featured product, pity ours is faulty. A really great sound bar rides to the rescue when. . Well the sound on our old faithful luxor tv was never very special and we had not decent sound system for music either. Then the sound out of the tv dies completely but fortunately we still got an output from the aux socket but not from the digital outputs. A quick search on amazon revealed this product as a potential solution to our problems with optical, digital aux coax and bluetooth inputs this is a sound bar for all seasons as it were with its touch panel controls and its remote control. I am very please with this product it sounds pretty good with the aux output from the tv and great as a bluetooth speaker for my phone. 99 this is not by any means the cheapest sound bar you can get but it does seem to be very good and to have a good feature set well documented on the product page, including by the way keyhole slots for mounting it on the wall. Initially we had trouble with the remote because although it worked you seemed to need to be close and the volume controls did not work. However afgter fitting a better battery it was fine so be aware this remote does need a fully charged good quality battery.

This improves the sound quality of modern tvs by a vast amount. Fitting is very simple, one small criticism, the remote controller for volume, on/off etc is very directional. At first i thought this useful accessory was not working until i discovered the way to use it: with great care. Overall it is a valuable addition to any smart tv providing good sound quality at a reasonable volume.

Didn’t want to spend hundreds on a sound bar so bought this because of the 5 star reviews. Was up and running within 5 minutes of receiving the product. I’d already bought an optical cable so it was just a case of plugging in the mains and the optical. The speech is definately clearer. I have an xbox as well and was initially concerned that i may have to keep moving the optical cable around but that was’nt the case. It works both on the tv and xbox automatically. For the price i’m very happy with the product and would recommend.
