This sound bar is thunderously awesome!
I don’t know how to compare sound bars from personal experience since this is my first sound bar. But some reviewers rate it as the best of 2020 or their “favourite”. In any case, I am very pleased that I purchased this sound bar: When used with Dolby Atmos media it is absolutely awesome and better than a movie theatre experience in my opinion. It is 7.1.4 which means it has a separate bass and four upward pointing speakers. It also has two separate rear speakers, each with an upward-pointing speaker as well as a side speaker.
The setup was quite easy, although I had to update the software using a USB stick first off to activate the rear speakers. The controller is very simply designed, quite small and minimalist, and was quite easy to learn and easy to use but it allows for full operation of the sound bar.
The sound has very full deep sound and is quite breathtaking.
I highly recommend this Soundbar!
It allows for eARC bandwidth quality Dolby Atmos sound, even though my 2016 65” OLED TV only has ARC, so I have the latest sound technology now, though eARC is of a higher quality bandwidth sound than the streaming services currently supply.
I have used it with an Xbox series X game console and Roku Ultra both plugged into the sound bar as well and it works very well.
It is definitely worth what I paid for it, which is about $1,000 including $200 delivery new but not in its original box (in its predecessor’s box). I think it was an excellent bargain! I am so happy with it!
