Review on πŸ”Š Majority Atlas Bluetooth Sound Bar - 20 Watts, Multi-Connection, Portable, 8-Hour Battery Life by Dora Feldstein

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little stereo for the gym (not just for computers!)

This would obviously make a great computer soundbar, but we use it in our home gym where we mounted it on a table stand with a tablet Computer installed in front of our exercise bike. (It also works well with a treadmill or other exercise machine. We connect our tablets to this soundbar to watch workout videos (from Peloton and YouTube) for great stereo sound that easily outperforms the tablet's small built-in speaker. Sometimes we also plug one in MP3 player connected to the soundbar if we want to just shoot and train with music, no video Computer (or on a simulator.) And the sound quality is surprisingly very good Higher instruments (trumpet, flute, clarinet, violin, oboe , etc.) and voices sound really good and realistic And despite the small size of the speakers, even the deepest instruments (tuba, electric and acoustic bass, low notes of an organ pedal, contrabassoon, etc.) sound surprisingly good with this soundbar. Of course, the mids are also very good good.) I'm a professional musician with a musical background, so I'm pretty picky about stuff like that. No, it won't shake rafters or create surround sound effects like a powerful home theater system, but for what it is (and what you'd use it for) it really is superb. This soundbar automatically detects any connected audio source (if only one is connected) and automatically switches to that input. We mainly use the AUX audio jack. So when we connect a tablet or MP3 player to this jack and turn on the soundbar, it is already set to "Aux" and ready to play any sound or music from that device. It can also play audio files from a USB stick or Micro SD card (aka TF card) as it has slots for both, as well as MP3 media player-like control buttons. The soundbar is USB powered and comes with a USB power cable that you need to plug into an AC-to-USB adapter or into a USB port on a power strip (a feature most new power strips have). ) This soundbar has Bluetooth connectivity, but we didn't use it ourselves, preferring to use a wired audio connection (which it can do too, and comes with an extra audio cable for that). A rotary on/off switch (it toggles on and off) that's also a volume control located right in the middle of the front of the soundbar. This soundbar is a great value and I highly recommend it. A few people here have been wondering if this soundbar will work on a TV and the answer is yes, but only if the TV is in a small to medium sized room. A soundbar built specifically for use with a TV might be the best choice for that type of use, and Majority make some TV soundbars that look good too. A TV soundbar gives you more connectivity options to your TV (like HDMI Arc and optical audio) and is also more powerful (so better for larger rooms) and has even better stereo speaker separation (because TV soundbars are longer). than computer soundbars.)
