    Great review! Mid-range soundbar reviews are usually not very helpful. They tend to just give a rundown of the specs/featues that you could read anywhere. I sub'd to your channel for sure. I'm leaning toward the Q700C, which surprises me because it's not an audio first company.

    I just picked up the Hisense AX5120G 5.1.2 and it’s a fantastic soundbar at $250 msrp but I caught it on sale for $120. The sub is the only thing lacking and honestly for a sub $500 soundbar it’s still good. I’d encourage anyone looking under $500 to check it out. My main system is Definitive Technology DN10 sub with DT pro-cinema 1000 surrounds… while that blows this out of the water it’s close enough at normal everyday volumes my wife can’t tell a difference. (She’s not an audiophile but I’d say she represents the average public). That system was well over $2000 for what I have with the receiver. apples and oranges yes but I’m stunned at how good the Hisense is especially at the price. I’m running an AppleTV 4k Gen 3 through hdmi to the soundbar and hdmi arc to the S90C Samsung Oled.

    I have a Samsung Smart TV CU7000B and the sound through the tv speakers seems muffled and we have to keep turning it up to 60+, it also raises the volume when you switch channels. It gets louder, but still seems like in a can.
    I was leaning toward the Amazon Firestick soundbar, when I saw your recommendation and demonstration of the Firestick soundbar, then that the Sony S100 F 2.0 was better. The clarity and richness is what I'm after for movies, tv shows. I'm not a gamer and don't listen to much music, so is this still your pick for a budget soundbar that works better than the tv speakers?

  • @The1Music2MyEars
    @The1Music2MyEars 4 месяца назад +2

    All in One soundbar manufacturers = let's make the bar sound the best possible, make it ported, make it fuller
    Soundbar with sub manufacturers = let's jam pack the bar with 100 speakers and not let it get close to low mid range, you know, cause we have a sub. Oh and then jack up the price to $1800

    • @JonahMatthes
      @JonahMatthes  5 месяцев назад +1

      The only factor wasn't an option to upgrade. I still believe for price to performance, the Samsung soundbar is the best deal even with just the soundbar and subwoofer.

    I have the Bose 600 and while it does sound great it hardly has any bass. I think Bose focused on great dialogue, mids and highs at the expense of bass. Definitely need the subwoofer with the 600.

      @dat868 5 месяцев назад

      @@robertb6926 Actually the 300 has respectable base. Not deep base but it's definitely present. Not so with the 600. I felt the 900 had really good base without the subwoofer and with the 700 sub it hits surprisingly deep and it also taut and defined.

    As much as I love the Q990C you're right about all samsung's soundbars needing a lower max volume. It truly is terrifying to think that a simple accidental finger slip on the smartthings app can make you shit your pants and potentially break your speakers

  • @anthonykougkas5309
    @anthonykougkas5309 2 месяца назад

    for the Vizio set, you have the satellite speakers placed wrong. The speakers are Atmos so they shooot upwards too. So you need to install them vertically and NOT horizontally as the video suggests.

    • @stephennelson5544
      @stephennelson5544 2 месяца назад

      The rear speakers for the Vizio are only surround speakers. They are NOT Atmos. They fire forward only.

  • @abdullahahmad79
    @abdullahahmad79 6 месяцев назад

    Great video!!! I have a question. I have a Hisense U8H TV and a Vizio M51-H6 soundbar that I recently got from Samsclub. On my TV should I select Passthrough or leave it on AUTO? To my understanding passthrough means that TV will receive the audio from the sources (streaming apps, game consoles, or DVD players) and then send it directly to the soundbar, then soundbar will decode and play that audio, please correct me if I am wrong.
    ON my TV when I leave the Digital audio out to "Auto" the volume sounds low especially for streaming and when I press info on my soundbar it tells me DOLBY Audio or Dolby Atmos - "Dolby MAT" even when I am playing a song on youtube which is only 2 channel. Now if I select Passthrough and play a song in youtube my soundbar tells me Linear PCM or when I am streaming it tells me Dolby Audio - Dolby Digital Plus. So my understanding at this point is to select Passthrough because it sounds louder and better and also it plays in the right format. Because I don't think netflix supports DOLBY MAT, it supports Dolby digital plus. Thank you for your help!!!!

    • @JonahMatthes
      @JonahMatthes  6 месяцев назад +1

      You are absolutely correct. Passthrough is the setting to use here. The TV should autodetect it and pass through when set to AUTO, but it doesn’t always communicate properly.

    • @abdullahahmad79
      @abdullahahmad79 6 месяцев назад

      @JonahMatthes Awesome thank very much for confirming!!! I guess the Auto setting on my TV decodes the audio and then sends to the soundbar or it packages it in a way where the movies sound good, but not great like when I select Pass Through on my tv. I feel i get the full potential of my soundbar when I select passthrough. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!! Thank you once again for your help!!!

    Regarding the Vizio, I've had two now and each one doesn't work well with an LG TV, My 512a-H6 will randomly drop the TV connection and won't recognize the TV. Very frustrating. 9 months in, and now it won't work at all. I'd recommend going with a better/more reliable brand.

    Does the Samsung Soundbar and the Sonos beam, truly support chromecast? I know Samsung soundbars support chromecast in some countries outside of the US. But Sonos supporting chromecast seems strange to me. It would be cool, but I'm not entirely sure if they do.
