Comment on Sennheiser – AMBEO Soundbar Mini Compact Device with Adaptive Features and Multiple Connectivity – Black by NanoEthan

NanoEthan — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 02:00:34 +0000

The Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Mini is an outstanding soundbar designed for small to medium size rooms or apartments, delivering exceptional sound quality without the need for additional speakers and complicated wiring. As a person who has previously owned more affordable soundbars, I can confidently say that the Sennheiser Ambeo Mini fulfills all my expectations in terms of dialogue clarity, balanced sound, and dynamic audio.
From the moment I unboxed the Sennheiser Ambeo Mini, I was impressed by the attention to detail in its packaging. The soundbar is well-packed in a stylish neutral kraft brown box and has a noticeable weight, giving a sense of quality. The front panel is covered in a sleek black fabric with subtle LED lighting, while the recessed top features touch controls that are handy when the remote is not readily available. The smartphone app provides comprehensive control over all features and settings. The soundbar comes with essential accessories, including a power cord and an HDMI 2.1 eARC cable. I particularly appreciate the thoughtful placement of the cords, allowing them to easily slide under the middle of my 65” TV and be positioned on either side. Additional connectivity options include a USB-A input, Bluetooth, and WiFi. The remote itself is well-built and uses a Lithium battery, primarily used for quick volume adjustments.
The Sennheiser Ambeo Mini boasts a power output of 250 watts, providing an impressive range of sound. With low frequencies reaching a respectable 43Hz and highs at 20kHz, the soundbar delivers well-balanced audio across the spectrum. One of its standout features is the room calibration via the smartphone app. By emitting pings throughout the room, the soundbar custom calibrates the sound, further enhancing the listening experience. The inclusion of Dolby Atmos spatial audio, along with compatibility with DTS:X, MPEG-H, and 360 reality audio, creates an immersive soundstage with audio flowing throughout the room. This feature works exceptionally well with a growing number of streaming services that offer Dolby Atmos content. I found myself excitedly going through all of my streaming apps looking for Dolby Atmos movies to play. There are plenty to choose from. Additionally, the soundbar can upscale 5.1 movies to create a virtual Dolby Atmos experience. I personally enjoyed using Spotify from both the Spotify app and Spotify Connect, with the latter offering basic controls within the Sennheiser app. Furthermore, the remote and app provide various preset sound modes for music, movies, news, sports, and adaptive sound. Testing sports mode during Premier League soccer matches, I was impressed by the heightened stadium sounds and the roar of the fans. Similarly, the movies setting delivered a more immersive sound experience. I would recommend using these specific preset settings because they really suit the sound. For those who wish to utilize voice assistants such as Alexa or Google Assistant, the soundbar offers compatibility. Moreover, it supports Google Chromecast, Tidal Connect, Airplay, and Spotify Connect, and additional services can be added if required. The soundbar allows for easy switching between input sources such as HDMI and Bluetooth, as well as adjusting settings like LED brightness, center configuration, subwoofer calibration, and lip sync for those annoying dialogue delays. Firmware updates can also be conveniently done through the app. Mine had a firmware upgrade that took about 5 minutes to download and install. Lastly, the inclusion of a night mode is beneficial in reducing sound for late-night viewing or when other family members are sleeping.
The Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Mini excels in performance, especially within small living rooms or apartments. It delivers crystal-clear dialogue, impressive bass, and a spatial audio experience reminiscent of a small theater. Previous soundbars I owned struggled with dialogue volume, but this soundbar offers precise control over dialogue and ensures depth without distortion. While the soundbar is capable of producing loud audio, I didn’t even need to push it to its maximum volume. The sound quality remains detailed, with excellent representation from highs to lows. Movies and TV shows are where this soundbar truly shines, providing an exceptional cinematic experience. Though the built-in bass is sufficient, adding a subwoofer may be desirable for those who crave more bass or have larger rooms.
Pros:
Clear dialogue and well-balanced sound
Immersive spatial audio with Dolby Atmos support and others
Convenient controls via the exceptional smartphone app
Thoughtful design and quality build throughout
Versatile connectivity options
Cons:
Additional subwoofer may be necessary for those desiring more bass or larger rooms
No HDMI Passthrough
I highly recommend the Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Mini for anyone seeking an outstanding audio upgrade within a small to medium-sized living room or apartment. I was hard pressed to find any negatives. If I could use one word to describe this sound bar it would be “Balance.” Highs, mids, lows, and dialogue all deliver as one would expect. It is a comprehensive package that includes superior sound quality, a feature-rich app, and exceptional build quality. From my testing, every aspect of this soundbar has impressed me, providing deep, detailed, and immersive sound across various content types and every setting or feature I needed was at my fingertips.

Comment on Samsung – 2.0.2-Channel Wireless Rear Speaker Kit with Dolby Atmos/DTS:X – Black by Nza3

I got these open box excellent for less than 100, so for that price yes, I think these are great. They definitely add sound and make a more immersive experience. But ultimately, I think you need stands for them to make the best use out of them, unless you happen to have conveniently located end tables/bookcases/shelves to the side of you or behind your watching area. I don’t think they do as well on the floor. Put one on an end table and the other on the floor test. End table side produced much clearer sound.
Also these can only be used WITH a compatible Samsung soundbar (I use HW-Q800C). Not as standalone speakers, even though they are full range. Which I mean, would have added more utility but since they are really only meant to be used in a home theater setup anyway, not really an issue. Just thought I would add in case anyone was wondering.

Works like a charm. Only downside is it that it is secure but doesn’t really look that way.

Comment on Samsung – 2.0.2-Channel Wireless Rear Speaker Kit with Dolby Atmos/DTS:X – Black by Terry

These are some really good rear speakers, I had the HW-Q900A soundbar for 2 years now, which by the way I caught for a really good deal at the time. I always wanted the rear speakers, but i thought it was a pretty steep price for $300, but i got lucky and walked into my local Bestbuy store, on my bestbuy app, on my phone, the price was the same, but for some reason when the bestbuy guy pull it up on his bestbuy computer, it was showing for $120 on clearance, at a different store, so i jump on it, and order them real fast, Far as the speakers, at first i didnt notice any sound, “i was watching a youtube channel, but than i put on a movie with Dolby Atmos, “NO Time To Die” and i notice a really big difference,

One of the best purchases I’ve made. Excellent colors and brightness, easy to use interface, and no issues with eARC/Soundbar use.
Built in speakers are okay and sound good for their size

Comment on LG – 55″ Class G3 Series OLED evo 4K UHD Smart webOS TV with One Wall Design by RotenTumato

RotenTumato — Wed, 06 Mar 2024 16:29:19 +0000

The LG G3 is a magnificent TV. The desigj is gorgeous and the display is one of the best I’ve ever seen. The colors are rich and vibrant, the contrast is unparalleled, and the motion is smooth and fluid. I use this TV for movies, shows, sports, gaming, and more. It gets extremely bright while keeping the inky blacks you expect from an OLED and handles every lighting condition well. I would recommend this TV to anyone looking for a truly incredible entertainment experience.

Comment on Sanus – Universal Speaker Stands for Speakers up to 8 lbs – Built in Cable Management – Sold in Pairs – Black by ChristionB

I’m not removing a star, because these are universal and not made for my speakers, but there could be an improvement. Either include three different rear mount pieces, or some type of gap eliminating foam or rubber padding for the bottom of your speaker when the rear mount piece is taller than the speaker. Another reviewer with Samsung speakers also mentioned this problem. Otherwise, these are very thick, well built, beautiful speaker stands. They live up to what you expect from Sanus.

We purchased this for my parents as a gift and they absolutely love it. The quality is great, the sound is crisp, and it was a super easy set up and use as well. It even fits nicely on their tv stand! Would definitely recommend this to whoever is searching for an affordable sound upgrade.
