Quick review

The good
Slick design: looks great, good quality DVD playback, versatility: plenty of connection options
The bad
Can be overly bassy, slow to switch inputs and load discs, standby hum
Verdict
While we like the design and the range of functions, the overwhelming bass makes this one soundbar that just doesn’t quite get the basics right
Key specs
Bluetooth, FM radio, HDMI, USB

  • I have had sound bar for around 6 months now and think its great , have moved the sub around the room and finally found the right spot, just luv the base sound on noisy war films and star wars etc.
    We leave the radio on all day and play back cds , so we dont need any other sound system.
    And no wires.

  • I've had the soundbar for a month now. even with the bass turned right down it still drowns out the voice tracks on the telly (BT Vision box connected to the soundbar with an optical digital link). I have also experienced spontaneous booms from the bass that frightened her indoors to the extent she's rung the supplier to complain.
    however the pros are:
    looks good and no wires/speakers to litter the place
    the sub-woofer connected immediately
    sounds good when playing DVDs (with the bass turned right down)

    cons are:
    far too powerful a bass system
    DVD player not region free
    sub-woofer frightens the wife on occasions
    haven't yet worked out how to play CDs without the telly coming on
    no graphic equaliser or spatial-sound options
