    Sennheiser Ambeo with REL’s wireless adapter and REL’s HT 1205 subwoofer in my 17x17 bedroom…. Woof… every single helicopter blade, each crisp cut of a vegetable, entire exhales… nothing is buried and all enlivened causing the walls to expand, the floors to rumble, and the ceiling to swell. Have never gone further than 27 on volume, typically parked between 17-22. All paired with an LG-OLED GX 55”… Aside from the REL subwoofer, Digital Trends recommendations/reviews were crucial when doing my research before purchase. I ALWAYS come here first when I’m in the market to buy another digital toy. Thank you for your efforts, testing, and for compiling well rounded information time and time again. Congratulations on 1mil subscribers!

    I cannot emphasize how good the Vizio M series is for the price. I bought the M51ax-J6 earlier this year and I’ve been completely blown away. I have a small space so the 5.1 and the simulated atmos pack more than enough punch for what I need. Top Gun Maverick and Midway both sounded like I had jets above my head, death stranding sounded like I was actually standing in the rain. No idea how it works but it probably helps that I have the rears above head level. I’ve advised anyone and everyone I know looking for an upgrade from their tv speakers to check it out because it’s insane value for what you get

    The first Vizio (sub $200 with the crazy model number) - I’ve owned the older model for three years and it’s PERFECT for apartments. The quality on low volume is so much better than TV speakers but turn up the volume and it’s like a mini theater. So good I got it for my sister who lives in a townhome where her neighbor has a new born. You can choose whether to disturb your neighbors.
    You can stream audio to it as well. Since you can adjust the treble and bass on the sound bar you can tweak it to get excellent sound for music as well.

    • @daveayreon7445
      @daveayreon7445 2 года назад +1

      The Base is always the >Soundbar< even when there are wireless surround speakers , the HT-A9 are more of the next level of affordable wireless speaker systems and then you have to put a lot more of this type of systems in this list, like Dali Callisto or Canton Smart Series and that would overkill and also put away the compact point of soundbars. That would be my decision to left out the HT-A9.

      I purchased both the Sony HT-A9 with the larger sub and the Samsung Q990B to try as replacements for a 5.2.2 setup I had in my living room with tower speakers. I really liked the HT-A9 but the lack of a dedicated center I found slightly annoying acoustically as I found it didn’t quite replicate the feeling of the sound coming from the center of the screen, so I ended up going for the Q990B and have loved it so far. I put it on two 9” speaker stands to raise it up closer to the base of the TV and make space for consoles under. Overall it’s the only setup I have found comparable to a full AVR setup with full size speakers as far as immersion. The only caveat, is while plenty loud, the soundbar doesn’t quite hit like my old towers did when listening to a powerful vocalist at fairly loud volume. It’s like the volume starts to level off but I still love the systems clean look and my extra floor space.

Like q Symphonie Technologie from Samsung. Because other soundbars don,t have ability to link there center channel out how the Sony oled TV needed it, is there not benefit to hook up the q990b to have a similar effect like it would be with a Samsung TV.

    I purchased the Samsung Q99OB Surround Sound System in December 2022, along with an 85" Samsung QN8595 QLED TV. I have had nothing but trouble. It seems to effect the sound only when viewing programming recorded on my DVR. I have sporadic sounds drops along with lip syncing issues. The Best Buy Tech has been out numerous times. It was thought changing the connections from HDMI eARC to HDMI ARC and adding an Optical cable would resolve this problem. The Tech also said he routed the sound directly through the soundbar rather than the TV. He said that would eliminate the fraction of a second delay causing the syncing problem. It hasn't solved the problems. I really value you opinion. Would you recommend replacing the sound system, and if so what specifically would you replace it with?
    Thank you!

So far, I managed to barely get the 4k tv to show 1080i. Before I switched to an outdated Motorola cable box, it would only let the tv run at 480i. 4k only seems to work on streaming services or my blu-ray. I researched and it says most cable does not have 4k. I am a little disappointed. I also don't want to use the SmartCast feature, and that may be hindering me. I am not sure.

The 600 in basic 3.1 mode puts out plenty of sound for TV and streaming music. But once we added the surrounds (now 5.1) it really shines. Only neg is sometimes TV voices tough to hear. The volume enhance feature does help. But our Arc + sub in another room is far superior for voice clarity. Santa is bringing my 2x One SL so see how that improves the Sonos sound.
      Hope this helps.

    • @JerryPena
      @JerryPena 2 года назад +3

      This is not making any sense. It was all praise for this unit not to long ago. What happened? You mention the HT-a5000 and not the HT-a7000, knowing damn well the a7000 blows the a5000 out the water when it comes to Atmos and movie viewing. I hope you're not leaving this out because you'renot getting a kickback or affiliate. If this is the case, then you're not getting the peoples trust and will lose credibility here and on Reddit.

    I have the original Vizio 5.1.2. It's still awesome with the sound. But even when I figured out it was the other HDMI cables connect to my Hisense cutting it off. The tv manages to go around it to cut off even if it's the only cable in. Take these suggestions & maybe next year I will upgrade, if I could afford to.

    Huge fan of the work you do, especially in your round up videos. I have a quick question regarding using Atmos soundbar systems in a living room with vaulted ceilings. With the sound being bounced off the ceiling would the uneven surface hinder the sound bar’s performance? Could you maybe make a video going over this?
    A huge thanks in advance. Keep up the stellar work

    I have been using Samsungs Q990B for a week in my living room and it sounds amazing for movies and just streaming content in general. I have replaced my Sonos Arc with Q990B and have no regrets. Used Sonos ARC alone for a year before adding two One SL's on Black Friday sale but decided to keep the One SL's as stereo setup for music playback in bedroom and try to return the Sonos Arc to Costco and keep the Samsung Q990B as my main home theater system. If you or family member always had a hard time hearing dialogs in movies or shows then this Samsung has two settings that enhances voice so well I had no complaints about low dialog volume. Oh I also have a Vizio M-Series 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar in my bedroom and its performing really well after a few firmware updates.
