Mam, one another product under 25K is LG SP8A 3.2.1soundbar. I bought this from flipkart big billon day for approx 21k. Its an amazing soundbar. Using it for around couple of weeks now. Sound clarity is very crisp and its a good experience watching movie with this soundbar (I watched peaky blinders from netflix which is both Dolby vision/Dolby atmos title). It is ATMOS supported. It has Google/Alexa support. Also a beautiful thing is, it has pass through for 4k Dolby vision and HDR 10+. I tested all its features. Worth considering just FYI. My old soundbar was a zebronics Dolby digital plus soundbar. Movie conversation clarity was not clear in this soundbar. Its kind of bass boosted product. Though listening music was good. So i replaced it with my new LG SP8A. 🙂
Does matching the tv brand with the same soundbar brand make a difference? As in, is the lag/performance better when the Sony soundbar is paired with a Sony Bravia tv vs a Samsung TV?
While latency will not be an issue, some brands, like LG and Samsung, have features in certain models that allow the TV speakers to be used in tandem with their soundbars.
Using Sonos ARC, Sub 3rd gen and 2 Era100 for rear. If your budget is high go for newly launched sonos ARC ultra. And yes the recent updates fixed their app related issue
2.1.2 is gimmick, u will get real surround only if speaker is placed behind ur head. Don't go for advertising youtuber video. A budget standalone soundbar will only give u good sound at the most but not surround, so forget about left right.
It's discontinued model. That may be why it wasn't recco. However I ordered it today via LG site. Hope to get it by Sat. Indeed it's awesome one, which I trialled from Croma.
Bro she never bought or any company given her any speaker for review. She just gave general insight about speakers by reading spec. How can she give review without even listening with those speakers
Unlike other appliances, you have to listen to choose when selection audio equipment, specially in the premium category. Reading the spec sheet won't do justice.
Honestly, it’s more than just reading spec sheets. It’s combing through hundreds of user reviews, watching 10s of videos to arrive at a conclusion of what’s good and what’s not. But anyway, each one to their own objective opinions.
@@TheGrapevineIndia Indeed, it is subjective. Not questioning the research behind the content though. For example, if you want to invest into an ecosystem where you can build on in the future rather than replacing, nothing beats the Sonos. You can get a Arc/Beam now, and maybe add a sub or satellites later. It will all work as if it was a single system out of the box. Similarly, the title might be misleading. Comparing pure soundbars vs "sound systems which also include a soundbar" isn't an apples to apples comparison IMO. A soundbar with an in-build sub cannot compete with a soundbar with an external sub, same as a soundbar cannot be compared with TV speakers. The physics are completely different. Software capabilities are also to be considered. E.g. Bose 600 supports both AirPlay and Google Cast, but Sonos only supports AirPlay. Also, the Sonos app is buggy AF. The Google Assistant, although supported, doesn't really get enabled for most users.
Ideally one should listen to the audio in your room environment, which is not practical. So you will have to rely on spec sheet and what you hear in showroom - if you are setting up a home theatre setup. Just for louder sound, soundbar is okay. Also you can’t check entire frequency range performance in showrooms.
