one flaw.....no HDMI in. That would have been great for streaming devices. So, if you have a Nvidia Shield TV, Apple TV, etc. You will need a HDMI splitter. Otherwise I have been impressed with mine. I have ceilings that are at second floor height and it fills the space effortlessly with clarity and direction. The sound stage is very nice.
Yup not sure does work flawlessly with my LGc3, Apple TV 4K, and ps5 plugged in. No issues and man it sound amazing! It’s like I have speakers all around me but it’s just the soundbar! Blew my mind
I don’t understand how the soundbar can be a 5.1 channel speaker? Don’t you need to add the bass unit and surround speakers to get the 5.1.2 channels for Dolby Atmos? I know other reviewers are saying it is a 5.1.2 system, I’m just not sure how that works as a standalone.
The two speakers on top are the heigh speakers then you have 5 around the front and a woofer. But in my opinion the woofer is not good enough stand alone, you really need the bass module to produce that lower frequency.
Great review my friend , I own this combination ( sans ultra .. I own the 900 but it’s the same ) but i noticed you didn’t review those outdated , goofy surround speakers 😂😂😂😂, the whole ball and chain , passive speaker wire , the power bricks are bigger than the speakers…. What the heck were they thinking … do they not know the Sonos ERA 300 exist? Bose needs to fire someone for that idea.
yeah its just a cheaper way to make that system work but I do not like it like alot of people so thats where bose, jbl, and sonos do a good job of providing that clean look! And Thanks for the feedback!
you can always move things around in a few years, the biggest benefit of sonos is connecting the rest of the speakers in your home to the system. If you dont have people over at your house alot then its not as important.
I'll be receiving mine Wednesday. It's replacing a Bose Soundtouch 300, so hopefully I notice a substantial improvement. I ordered it to save money since I already have the 700 Bass Module. If it doesn't sound like a big improvement, I'll return it and get the Samsung Q990c or d. Did you notice any annoying reflections off the glossy top while watching TV?
@coltsfan7718 absolutely, especially if you have the 700 bass module. The sound is so much more powerful and immersive and the AI dialogue mode is no joke. I don't need subtitles anymore for anything. I do wish the upfiring speakers were more impactful, but the bar has a great soundstage.
