Using a Philips TAPB603/10 on my PC. Two HDMI inputs and one out for passthrough, can’t go wrong.
Is it a good idea to replace my Logitech 5.1 z506 with a LG 4.1 SK6RF? I live in Brazil and options are limited here.
私の言語を話してください。 😑
You talk to much let’s hear it
human perception adjusts over time. same system can sound differently after certain amount of time you spend on it. that’s how audio market fools you with that "break-in" shit and prevents you from returning their products once you get used to it 🙂
Paid
makes video of sound bar doesn’t share use product in video to showcase its quality sound.
good review, thank you! … didnt need the unneeded music in the background….distracting …kept wanting to turn down something in my home
Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX:
$100 at Costco and leaps and bounds better than the Vizio soundbar.
I have this bar for my TV. I got it at Costco last year for $99 after CNET reviewed it "best bang for the buck". It kicks for the $$$! Vizio has really improved their products year after year.
what desk is that?
Does this somehow spy on you as well?
so no sound test okay
Use the built in EQ mine sounds amazing on tv . Pc . And my tablet 🙀
I know right but my sound bar is all black
@Fstoppers can you control the volume for the soundbar through your computer?
Oh cool a good soundbar for my computer! Oh it’s discontinued already. ugh.
"The subwoofer looks really cheap! BUT HEY LOOK AT THESE CABLES MAN!" really?
Tom Brady is that you?
I use bookshelf speakers for my computer too. and I place them horizontally just like you. except that I prefer tweeters "out", not "in" 🙂
You talk too much, i got no results
that’s my problem….it wont scan to my list
lg soundbar SK8 with dolby Atmos much better for pc
😶 …
Steve Stiffler nice vid. Too bad you didn’t show us a demo of the sound on PC.
You are talking too much buddy that is bad , no demonstration
Feels cheep … But look at all the cables it comes with .. LOL 😀
so how do.you connect earhones?
Well,can we connect a soundbar to a desktop computer and be able to play a game in 5.1 Dolby. when these soundbars has at least 2 full range 2 tweeters and bass, and they use optical connection..why not?
You lost me in the first 3 min:
1. Lots of negative connotations with loose use of words like cheap.
2. The tone applied to the words Vizio and Walmart implied both are absolute landfill-bottom garbage.
3. $800 Bose speakers sounds reasonable to you
4. How could it be $150? _That’s_ reasonable. Audio equipment prices have been _unreasonable_ since Bose f***** everything up.
5. So then heavy = not cheap? I wonder how you’d justify it if it had a Bose sticker on it and someone told you it came from Best Buy.
5. That’s the smallest lightest sub you’ve ever seen? gtfo.
What is wrong with people ? Don’t watch it if it’s not camera or film making related ! ……. carry on Fstoppers 👍🏻✌🏻
How is it for gaming? ’cause I saw on the previous video you got an xbox controller on the desk
2:17 That’s my jam yo! I get all up in da elevator bro, I’m on a mission to show the world that elevator music can make people bounce! I’m like a lone rebel carving out my own path whilst everyone else tries to get by without engaging, f-that man, if I get into an elevator with music going that elevator becomes a miniature rave party. I even come up with lyrics for some of them, based on things like autopsies carried out on people who died in elevators, instances of people trapped in them for hours, you know, whatever. I think it’s important people face their mortality and once they do they can then also rave with me.
which dell monitor ist that on the video? type number?
😠
i got a sound bar with a hdmi cable… I wanna hook it to my pc but my computer got only one hdmi input and I’m using that one for my monitor -.-
I had the same problem with the thin sound, but there’s a built-in Bass and Treble adjustment. That will fix it. I wasn’t satisfied before, but I was after adjusting the levels.
1st of all that room is a horrible environment for acoustics. Cheapness has nothing to do with it. Bose uses $2 speakers in well designed cabinets to trick consumers into thinking they are buying quality speakers. I build speakers using silver flutes and tang brands I pay $60 for and sell for nearly 2k starting prices with decent x overs and ribbon drivers.
Is it possible to connect a Bose Tv Speaker (soundbar) with HDMI ARC to a USB-C input on a mac-screen (pc) or HDMI on a Mac Mini M1 ?
ooooh, that’s got a lil KARATE kick to it!!!!!
$140 at Sams Club
You should really be using studio monitors, a pair of KRK Rokit 6’s and a focusrite interface is only like £350 in the UK
I have a Sony HT-CT150 Soundbar connected to PC for Audio. I use a software named Equalizer APO for enhancing music as the sound prior to that left things kind of lacking. Pandora sound so Beautiful now and ripped CD’s do to.
That testing song… 😂
I would like to use this for my computer, as well. I would hate to have to turn it on every time I want to use it. Will it recognize audio once played and turn on? Secondly, is there an option to just keep it on or is there an autosleep feature that doesn’t allow that? thanks!
Sale now same price for 5.1 version, may come down more on Black Friday 2019.
Hey, Appreciate the review! I pulled the trigger through your link, on the refurb. 😉
Gotta say, a lot of people wouldn’t have put the refurb link to try and get the higher commission on the new product – the fact that you did is why I went through your aff link! Keep doin’ what ya doin’!
I was going to spend big on speakers for my PC until i dug out the samsung soundbar and subwoofer that used to be hooked up to my TV . I hooked it up to my PC via USB at first and then switched to Bluetooth connection and am very happy with the sound quality……woooohoooooo
Which is your monitor
Wish people stopped using Bose as a reference. They have always been overpriced compared to smaller stereo speakers than your Polk. Maybe a followup?
