Nice review. It's hard to stay objective when you are doing a sponsored video. You come across very honest even though you didn't pay for this yourself. Most sponsored RUclips videos have to praise the product even if it's crap otherwise the company won't work with you anymore and you'll have to pay out of pocket. So I appreciate the honesty. But for any true cinefiles out there, you know there's better equipment. Cheap price=cheap sounding soundbar. When it comes to audio equipment, you definitely get what you pay for.
Ehm, 5.1.2 means: You have 5 speakers with 3 sound directions: Front Left - Center (here we hat two speakers for better Center) - Front Right (btw: 4 Speakers in the front - not five) and you have two speakers at the side of the soundbar - these speakers try the Rear Left and Rear Right Sound. You have 1 Bass with the Subwoofer. And last but not least, you have 2 speakers for the "atmosphere sound" from above Left and Right. These two Speakers are on top of the soundbar (little bit diagonal). The rear and the above sounds works with impact effects from walls and pieces of furniture. But, your video is good and I bought ones now (335 Euro).
As much as I wanted to hear this soundbar, the mic was severely attenuated during your test. The bass was completely blown out and during speaking like the gameplay the voices were hard to hear as well
Hello ! I've a question, in your video, you've let the digital output on PCM format, generally is set on Bitstream to get Dolby, Dts, Dolby Atmos, etc... So how can you get Atmos with this setting PCM ?
What would be the best way to use this in the USA. I just ordered one from Germany for my Sharp TV since its not available in the US ... I completely forgot the Voltage is 110 in the US and 220 in Europe and on the device. Is there a different power supply I can buy , or should I gat a step up voltage convertor. Thanks for any help.
Dolby atmos uses 2.0, with algorithms it sends to the sound bar or tv to virtually create a surround effect. Try it on an iPhone 12 or higher, which has two speakers, and Dolby atmos, and you will hear the effect from around you. This is why you can use Dolby atmos on a tv or sound bar.
@@Trinketorium I have a true onkyo Atmos 5.1.2 setup and I can tell you now a RUclips version of a dolby Atmos test, sounds nothing like the MKV EAC3/TRUE-HD from the web site when played with passthrough. I have a Galaxy phone with atmos. if i use the line-in jack on system or play direct from youtube and set to 2.0 to 5.1.2 I don't get the same effect. however it does a good job with headphones. That probably why Dolby add these to youtube as a lot of people listen through headphones. 2.0 lossey AAC codec vs EAC3/ True-HD with atmos metadata. no contest.
Since you reviewed a Sharp product could you get your hands on the new Japan only smartphone Aqous R6 and review it. It's such an interesting smartphone in many ways and it deserves a review in English. Thank you!
Small question: Does this HDMI input pass-through have any bandwidth limitations? Example: If I plug my (yet-to-be-bought) PS5 with 4K@120Hz, can it still pass-through the signal to the TV (via eARC) without any issues?

450 quid. Most people still can't afford that, even for long established budget brand Sharp. Will stick with "normal" sound which is perfectly good until these silly prices come way down.
Sharp was certainly not a budget brand. Maybe now they are owned by Foxconn things will change. Also 450 is not a lot for a decent sound system and most people with a job can afford this easily. Just need to find sound important enough.
A UHD player is recommended for example from Sony or Panasonic. And they are probably superior in both sound quality and and image quality over a game console. because they are specifically made for film and music and better picture circuits and audio circuits. And most movies with Dolby Atmos can be found on ultra HD blu-ray discs
Had SBW800 for a while now - brilliant Soundbar. However, one major fault - It doesn’t sound your Bass/EQ on shutdown so always defaults to heavy, dull bass which sounds bad and is bad for your neighbours. We had to unplug the subwoofer because of this which sucks. Hopefully they do a firmware update to fix this.
Not all TV sets support Dolby Atmos from Netflix. then you must have an Xbox or Apple TV for example. especially if you want Dolby Atmos from both Netflix and Amazon prime tv. that it says Dolby Atmos on Android box That doesn't mean that box is accepted by Amazon prime tv or Netflix to render Dolby Atmos
I wonder of this is a real Sharp product or something that's just from an undefined part of Foxconn's infrastructure they put the name on. Sharp used to be about quality and ethics, which is a huge question mark now.
Got one, only lasted 3 Months then both HDMI Inputs were dead. Still has 21 Months Warranty, but I dunno if I still want that trash back. The other issue is, it's big and costy to send back, so probably cheaper if I cut it into pieces and throw away the device. Sure a pity about all the loudspeakers and such, but that part is useless without inputs lol In the future I will definitely not buy any more cheap Sharp rubbish.
Not sure how you think you have tested dolby atmos...it should say on the bar if an ATMOS signal is being used...I have a laptop, aps4 2 tvs inc a 2020 Samsung and a windows 10 laptop. None of these can feed an Atmos signal to my soundbar...that being the case....what do the upfiring speakers etc actually do if the event you cant get a ATMOS signal....i think its a bit of false marketing as nobody is being honest about the fact most kit wont pass ATMOS to your soundbar. In summary you are marketing something which a big Atmos selling point which most people cant access
TechMagnet not disputing the specs... just amazed that you are calling it affordable at €450... people all across Europe and the world are struggling to make ends meet... some even struggle to pay bills and feed their families... in this current climate with covid 19 .... businesses destroyed leading to mass unemployment and a global recession....

Does it pass through 4k hdr tho? And doesn't it say on the led mini screen if it's playin Atmos if thats what it doing so u know. It states that.
With a hdmi 2.0b ready cable and the correct TV yes
@@TechMagnet tah, is it true this soundbar doesn't support any dts audio formats? Surely it does, my 8 yr old soundbar does basic dts
Hows the cheaper SHARP HT-SBW460 3.1 ??
My soundbar turns off after a short time, any advice, it is this exact model.
Did you use RUclips for the Dolby Atmos test? I think it sends it in stereo. You should download the original from the Dolby website.
PS4 doesn't even support Dolby Atmos
RUclips has always been 2.0

How was sound when you demoed it with atmos test from behind and sides? Was surround working properly?
I like the feature of that soundbar,it has bass & treble adjustment.
I considering to buy this one.Could You recommend something alternative but similar in this price?
I have been trying to see where to purchase this soundbar and no one has it . Would you know where I can purchase it ?
how is for listening music?
most honest reviewer. love your videos

Since when was Ps4 4k? Why the fck don't you have proper AV equipment instead of a shitty console
120mhz needs hdmi 2.1, this is 2.0 so won’t pass through the 120, and will cap at 60 MHz

Hi guys, anyone know if this soundbar is compatible with lg c9? Is 4k hdr/dolby vision pass-trought? Thanks
thanks for the dolby speaker breakdown. didnt even know that.
welcome
How does this compare with the Sony HT-ZF9 that you reviewed a while back??
How much watts has woofer ?
Great review ! very detailed
thanks mate!
Soundbar SHARP HT-SBW800 or jbl soundbar 5.1? which one is better
its a shame you dont get dolby Atmos sound playing on youtube .. them dolby atmos test videos on youtube are usless
What about PS5 hdmi 2.1... will that work ?
I hear hardly the voice!only some bass hear and the sound is very very low,I have put on maximun,though!Is this for advertising or the contrary?!
450 quid. Most people still can't afford that, even for long established budget brand Sharp. Will stick with "normal" sound which is perfectly good until these silly prices come way down.
yea i know not cheap, but if you want dolby atmos with some decent sound and woofer its good

Also 450 is not a lot for a decent sound system and most people with a job can afford this easily. Just need to find sound important enough.
@@djoetma then we'll see their turntable from the 80's It was a plastic story their steros in the 90's Did not have good CD sound either
Is this worth it out of 10 how good is it im really thinking of getting this also how many watts is the subwoofer.
Why is there no optical cable included?? I dont get it.
most people use ARC!
Great review love you're video as always stay safe bro 🙏
thanks usman :))

how many soundbars in total did you review so far? gotta check them out
around 8 i guess on youtube. tested a few more home for my tv company
I have the soundbar, the only flaw is that with the ps4pro and sky connected to the soundbar the hdr does not work, too bad
For my ps4 it worked as u see In the settings. Got an hdmi 2.0b cable? With my vheap cable it didnt work
@@TechMagnet work only in 1080p
Shitty gaming systems ain't gonna output Atmos man
Something isn’t setup correctly or the bar just isnt working correctly that sound test you did was missing alot of the sounds

Nice review 👍 What Android TV is that? It seems very responsive I'm impressed.

Hi i biswajit from india.if i want to buy this sharp sound bar where i order and its price
Dont know about india. Just launched yet in Europa I think :/
Sharp! havent heard from them in a while. 👍
yea mostly televisions !

@@djoetma yea it’s crazy how my 50” 1080p 120hz Sharp tv has a better image than my 50” Vizio 4K tv.
great video cheers
ah, another soundbar! I am in the market for one!
love your tommy hilfiger shirt. 👍❤️
so you dont need a sharp tv for it ?
nooo. why should you? works with every tv!

I think sound bar sharp better than all sound bar
Interesting not bad for the price.
Hmm am I missing something here? Last time check official Dolby Atmos minimum is 7.1.4 etc ,so we can now afford a 5.1? Nice
Sennheiser mmh that is beauty. Really high end mic.
love the mkh-416
And there was me thinking that you tube videos are stereo only.....!
Sharp?
yeaaa sharp!
Sounds like you're saying ASC and not ARC
RUclips CAN'T!! Deliver Dolby Atmos!!! You must Download a File! .MKV ect. Or Play a BluRay with Atmos Track!!
the air outleft on the front of the woofer will be sorely missed. 😋
the power brick is massive for a soundbar, geez.
yea well it packs much power :D
Nice! I dont see the need to spend top dollar on a soundbar nowadays...
yea.. even if more expensive than the tv lol
dude
5.1.2 is wrongly explained
.2 is about the atmos speakers
That projector screen i need sometime like that 😝
appealing price and appealing design, I must say.
yea not bad :)
It looks sharp - no pun inteded hehe
hahahha good one
570W sounds good, despite the fact it doesnt really say anything 😂
ahahha
Hey tech magnate
hey vaithy haha
@@TechMagnet hope you're safe
Stay at home
looks good, still expensive for me. 200ish would be great
yea true, non dolby atmos are good for 200. but dolby atmos at 200 rubbish
woofers and tweeters. everything has to be balances in life lol
hahaha
its literally a soundBAR. do you even lift, bro? haha
max 5kg :D
It looks like the JBL bar 2.1 😒
Over 500 dollars...pass. Soundbars should NOT be so darn expensive.
👍🙉
another power supply to hide behind my TV. Grrr
yep. my old one had integrated one but 800+
too much bass......TOO MUCH BASS......are you mad stefan you can never have too much bass....LOL
im not as ghetto as u bro :D
Affordable €450 .... 😅🤣😅
always keep in mind 1) dolby atmos 2) wireless woofer 3) pretty high power
TechMagnet not disputing the specs... just amazed that you are calling it affordable at €450... people all across Europe and the world are struggling to make ends meet... some even struggle to pay bills and feed their families... in this current climate with covid 19 .... businesses destroyed leading to mass unemployment and a global recession....
