Review on Enhance Your Audio Experience with Philips B5105 Soundbar - HDMI ARC & Bluetooth Streaming (TAB5105) by Diana Cardonne

Like most parents we solved 1/3 of our problem when the pandemic hit by buying my son a Nintendo Switch as a treat so he could play , whenever he wanted finishes his online lessons, but of course we limit the playing time so that he has time to rest. Over the past year we've bonded even more during this time and I ended up buying this Philips soundbar when it came out because it's a good price and enough for use in his bedroom where there's a light switch. There are several pros and cons of going very fast: Pros: 1. good price for performance2. yeah that actually sounds pretty good. I love the geometric design and the metal grille. I prefer it to fabric because I find it easier to sanitize and wipe down with a Lysol wipe4. The bass is actually powerful for just 70 watts and not too loud to blast through the whole house5. The HDMI arc works well6. We use it to stream songs from my phone when we are in dance mode and it was easy to connect, easier than 2 other cheap soundbars (Chinese brands) I bought from Amazon7. The remote control is actually decent quality, not that we use it often as we use the TV remote most of the time thanks to HDMI ARC Cons: 1. good enough for movies but not quite cinematic (no surround sound)2. I wish it had an expansion option to connect surround expansion units or something like that, but I haven't seen such a device (Philips tip, maybe you should make one)3. I wish it was white or something else because it's on a white shelf under the TV so we can match the furniture. (it's more of a woman acceptance factor) SUMMARY: After all I've listened to soundbars on Bestbuy and bought these anyway just because I have a Philips TV and wanted something similar, but it turned out to be a great buy and it works well My particular scenario was my son's bedroom TV with a Nintendo Switch plugged into it.
