Does its app work?
`one of most significant breakthroughs in a century’
They didn’t say which century.
Will it work for more than a handful of years before investors get cranky about product turnover?
ABSOLUTELY NOT
Sorry. An AV installer has PTSD from tons of pissed off clients blaming us for their audio system suddenly not working
Not a word on what it is or how it works. Marketing hype most likely.
I found this good explanation about it:
For that price you can get a decent surround sound system. Sound bars don’t sound much better than the speakers built into the TV.
Said by someone who gas never experienced a sound bar
I’ve had my Sonos sound bar for 5 years and love it. It puts out pretty great sound honestly
You do not know what you’re talking about. The $50 no name soundbar from Walmart might not be an improvement but soundbars from Sonos (and others) are MAJOR upgrades.
A surround sound system will likely sound better (again not the $100 combo pack from Walmart) but requires placing speakers in the proper places…which most people do not even do
Even a no name sound bar from Walmart will be a major improvement.
Maybe… I’ve heard some absolutely awful soundbars. They trade sound quality for volume
Somewhat related: I think the Sony and Samsung ones are an upgrade but that’s a low bar and they sound like shit for the price.
I haven’t heard on all, but the Sonos Arc/Beam/Playbar are the only (all-in-one) soundbars I’ve heard that I would say sound great.
Why did someone downvote you? I don’t understand Lemmy users.
in short they’re further reducing transducer size for a $100 price increase. Gonna get sick bass from that 1.25” woofer bro
"one of the most significant breakthroughs in audio engineering in nearly 100 years”. It would be one of the most significant breakthroughs in audio industry if Sonos and other WiFi speaker brands would go bankrupt and their workforce would move on to develop something, anything more useful than wifi speaker with proprietary app.
