Packs a Super Sound

This soundbar provides amazing surround sound wherever you sit in the room. Sound quality is excellent, beyond my expectations, even to the point of me looking checking if it was raining one time, whilst watching a film. When watching films, it feels a lot more immersive and sound feels like it comes from different areas of the room, despite no additional speakers being added to the system. It looks smart, stylish and has a glass top to it, which does show fingerprints but also makes dusting easy and ensures it looks like a premium product. It arrived well packaged in a box that was much bigger and heavier than anticipated. When I originally unpacked it, I was worried about the size and how it would fit in, but it blends in well with my TV and does not look as intrusive as my old soundbar. It is not very high, which I think aids blending in well. It is solidly made and heavy, which also keeps it in steadily in place.
It comes with a headset to wear when setting up, which was easy to follow, with prompts telling you when to move to an alternative seat. This sets up the surround sound so that you do not lose quality of the sound from any part of the room. It has made my viewing experience a lot more enjoyable and I find it much easier to hear programmes. Voices are crystal clear and I have the volume on a lower setting than before, which actually means that we do not disturb family (particularly sleeping children). There is also an app for connecting your soundbar to, but I tend to use the remote as opposed to the app. Set-up was easy and sound is also controllable through my satellite TV remote. Initially I used the soundbar with an old TV with an optical connection and I did find that it was difficult to keep the connection between the TV and soundbar, but sound quality was very good when connected. Since upgrading my TV, I found the soundbar to be amazing. We have found the connection through the ARC HDMI port to be extremely reliable, rarely loosing connection and if it does, then it is just a tap of the remote to reconnect.
When we turn our TV on the soundbar comes on automatically. When I use Alexa through the soundbar to play music, it sounds amazing and I feel it offers a superior sound to my stereo. To use Alexa, I don't need to switch anything on with the soundbar, but just to say "Alexa, play xxxx" I like this feature as it means things happen instantly and I don't need to find a remote to switch it on to then activate Alexa.
