"Noble fokus rex5 best sounding change my mind. ... Five drivers per ear bud game changing for sure ... Yes, you're so right. They are by far number one. ... There may be a few airbuds that get better battery a little bit, better ANC but right now my two cents worth, there's nothing on a planet that sounds better than these. ... I have all the heavy hitters. The techniques 80/100 Sony 4 and 5 sennheisers 3 and 4 and the Devialet gemini II. ... Ronontech on YouTube did a review on the Aviot a few days ago. I belive he liked the Nobels better. ... Also on YouTube, check out Flossie Carter review on the Nobles, he went absolutely nuts. Best sounding wireless earbuds he has ever heard."
"As for gaming I'd probably rank them 1. A50 ... As for music I'd rank them 1. A50 ... And for movies I would rank them 1. A50."
"these fifth generation A50s sound better than anything I’ve ever used. ... New DAC, new Graphene drivers, really nice sounding."

"Besides the center channel on Samsung is fantastic even on my Q800 which is not as good as the 990. It's so clear it's crazy, glass breaking in movies sounds real as well because of the center channel."
"blew me away with the level of detail it has ... nothing I've had even sounds remotely close ... none of them are even close to the Ambeo in terms of detail to the sound ... it's truly INCREDIBLE!!!"
"Sounds sooooo insanely polished & perfect it's almost scary how clean it sounds. ... If you strictly want the absolute cleanest sounding system, Ambeo Plus is the ONLY way to go!!"

"Little details appear in movies I've seen multiple times that I've never heard before. ... In Pearl Harbor, during the big invasion sequence that must go on for twenty minutes... lol But I swear, you could feel the shell casings hitting the ground below your feet. An actual tactile feeling. So real it was almost disorienting. Color me impressed"
"We have bass modules for both bars as well and they definitely up the immersion factor. Not just by adding bass…the whole setup sounds bigger."
"Dialogue and bass are perfect and have mine set to 0, so I can't imagine you would have an issue."

"The surround effects that come out of this thing are practically otherworldly. ... Just watching music videos on YouTube is an eyeopener. ... The way the sound follows you as you walk around the room or even just turn your head while sitting still are like something that I've never experienced. ... It's that " sound mapping " feature, I forget the official name of it, but it's worth every penny for that effect alone. ... magical surrounding audio bliss this unit conjures up on the spot."

"The rear speakers make a huge difference along with the upfiring speakers for Atmos content."

"Yep, that spot is just screaming for a Sonos bar."
"A Sonos Ray is perfect for a small apartment."
"For me the Ray filled the niche of an under-monitor soundbar perfectly ... when it was on sale it was well worth it."

"But, in terms of Atmos and the bar's upward firing speakers, the results are less than jaw dropping. ... But so far little specific overhead effects have manifested themselves."
"we don’t get specific height effects either. Just a greater sense of height to the overall presentation."
"Is it as good for atmos? No"

"means carrying two devices, which kills the portability of speakers for travel. ... if the bass isn’t strong, it kind of defeats the purpose for me"
"it lacks a lot of the power of the Polk mainly because it has no woofer. ... If you want sound with power and punch, go with the Polk."
"Must pry off (using exacts or thin bladed knife )glued on panel near right rear of unit looking from back. Mini plug there, rca on jbl subwoofer."

"There's also that Bose BM700 subwoofer popping/crackling noise issues, but depends on your wifi settings apparently. ... But at casual listening volumes that damn subwoofer electrical popping noise (the miss) was just so noticeable it was too much for me, so I sold it & moved on"

"The app for accessing and retrieving the videos off the device remotely is a pile of crap!"
"The app. It's a complete pain in the ass to view any footage ... it won't update the firmware because the dashcam connects to my phone via wifi and if it's connected via wifi, there's not any actual Internet access from the cellular signal so it can never update 🤣 what a joke."
"I could never get into the app to control settings, so I bought the remote. ... It would show up in Bluetooth and connect for no longer than a minute or 2, but the app wouldn’t populate any models to connect with. ... Then other times in Bluetooth the speaker would show up along with a ‘vizioapp’ connection. Same issue, would connect and disconnect and never show the model in the app."
Just picked up a Bose smart soundbar for $300 on eBay. Wanted something compact for my apartment living room. Loving it so far, will def add a bass module though next year
r/Soundbars • Any budget friendly sound bars that you recommend? I plan on spending $200-$250. No looking for amazing, but something decent for watching movies and music. Thanks! ->Hey I just got a 75” QM6K pro from Costco as well last month! Got a Bose Smart Soundbar from Bose refurbished for $300. I’m also in an apartment and needed better vocal clarity for tv and movies. Been amazing so far. You can also get a Sonos Beam from their refurbished site for around the same price. Both are good options for your use case https://preview.redd.it/xes4nohpu28g1.jpeg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eba4aa01503b57c39d634593dd984a68f73d4198
r/Soundbars • Low end soundbars ->S60D, Sonos beam gen 2, Bose Smart Soundbar (have this and love it), JBL Bar 300mk2.
r/Soundbars • What soundbar to get? ->Got a Bose 550/600 recently and was impressed how Much good clean sound it puts out.
r/Soundbars • Best NON SAMSUNG soundbar ->I was in your situation just 2 days ago.. After comparing the Bose smart soundbar with the Sonos Beam Gen2 in-store , I went with the Bose sound bar. I thought it sounded a little bit cleaner than the Sonos, plus the upfiring speakers was a factor for me too. It sounds amazing when playing Dolby Atmos content! Ofcourse, that's just my opinion when comparing it to the sound from my tv speakers. Im happy with my purchase and have no plans of returning it. I'd suggest going to a Bestbuy and trying out both.
r/Soundbars • First time buying soundbar. Budget $500. Any advice? ->We recently got the bose smart soundbar for around 38-39k, it is quite amazing compared to stock TV speakers obviously, but also other soundbars we checked out at the store. Also the sound bounces well in our TV room, the dolby atmos compatible movies are actually great to listen to. The drawback would be that it keeps you locked in to Bose ecosystem, so to get the subwoofer is like another 30k. With JBL (not sure about the others as I haven't tried them out), they include the subwoofer with it. But also, people swear by the samsung soundbars, as they own JBL as well, and probably use the best of tech in their own soundbars. Would suggest swinging by your nearest showrooms to try them out personally, really comes down to how you perceive their sound
r/Soundbars • [India] Good Dolby Atmos Soundbar under Rs 35000? ->Geez. He downvoted you. No grace. For anyone else doing their own search, my Bose Smart has been great under my 32 inch monitor.
r/Soundbars • Best soundbar for this space? ->I'd pick the sonos. That being said you won't regret either one. Both sound great, but the bose surrounds are dated as fck if you ever intend to expand. Best thing bose has is that awesome sub which I think blows Sonos sub out of the water.
r/Soundbars • Bose or Sonos?! ->Well … this post resulted in me walking 30 minutes to BestBuy and buying a Sonos Beam Gen 2. Spent ages comparing it to the Bose Smart Soundbar 600, and ultimately it came down to three factors: * I live in a studio apartment. For the time being (and for the sake of my neighbors) I don’t need/want a Sub. If the day ever comes that I want a Sub, the Sonos ecosystem appears to be more expansive. * I read multiple reviews that say the Sonos app is consistently more reliable than the Bose app, which does actually impact user experience even if it’s minor * I preferred the buttons and look for the Sonos
r/Soundbars • The most recommended soundbars on Reddit (r/soundbar VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->Any suggestions for a soundbar pairing 83 LG g5? I got the s95ar but compared to my Bose soundbar 600 and maybe it's me it sounds super different and not really in a good way. What's your experience and what would you reccomend? My TV getting mounted and I have them mounting a soundbar too so got to figure it out today. Thanks in advance
r/LGOLED • Soundbar pairing G5 83?? ->Hi everyone, wanted to share my experience from having the Polk Magnifi Mini AX for more than a year, and now I have switched to the Bose 600. I have/had them in a kind of small room, and the main purpose was gaming (PS5) and movies to take advantage of ATMOS effects. The Polk has good audio quality, very punchy sound because of the woofer, but the ATMOS effect is not great (neither top nor side effect). When compared to the Bose, the Bose gives us more details and the high-ends are better, but it lacks a lot of the power of the Polk mainly because it has no woofer. However, the Bose is way better in Atmos because of the top and side speakers, would say it is a bit better for music also. So mainly because of the Atmos, the Bose is better for me, but if you don't care about Atmos, for overall (TV, Gaming, movies, music, ...) use, I would say the Polk is a better package and most of the time it costs less....even more if you intend to add the satellites for surround since they are much cheaper.
r/Soundbars • Polk Magnifi Mini AX review and Bose Soundbar 600 ->Sorry for the late answer. If you want sound with power and punch, go with the Polk. If you want detail, clear voices, and atmos performance (the difference in atmos performance is significant), go with the Bose. Performance for the money, Polk is better IMHO, but I really wanted atmos performance.
r/Soundbars • Polk Magnifi Mini AX review and Bose Soundbar 600 ->i had both and the 900 is far superior to the 600, especially with the bass module. Get the 900 or Ultra
r/Soundbars • Bose Smart Soundbar 600 vs 900? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
