Review on Immerse Yourself in JVC EXOFIELD Theater: 7.1.4 Multi-Channel Surround Sound, XP-EXT1 Personal Home Theater System by Born Waheed

Jvc xp-ext1 Overview MY AV COMPONENTS: HDMI CABLES: Zeskit Maya 8K 48 Gbps Ultra Certified High SpeedTV: Sony X900HAVR: Denon X2700H4K BLURAY PLAYER: Sony UBP-X700Roku Ultrabox requires a night headphone system which provides a solution to emulate Dolby Atmos/DTS:X. This review reflects such needs. If you don't already have an AVR and the necessary components that support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X "3D Surround Sound", your experience may differ from that shown below. Playback of Dolby Atmos/DTS:X "3D Sound” with associated content. The LFE channel is very prominent and the headphones reproduce a pulsating booming bass. I watched the Dolby Atmos demo content and experienced the effects of 3D surround sound. I checked out Lost World 4K for DTS:X and Rogue One 4K for Dolby Atmos. While these two movies aren't the best for 3D sound, they sounded like my surround speakers were active instead of my headphones. Despite all the issues listed below, I gave this headphone system 3 stars because of the amazing '3D sound'. THE BAD: If you want to enjoy Atmos/DTS:X, connecting a "processor" will cost you an HDMI port. or two, depending on setup. I couldn't use the eARC port of JVC's "processor device" directly with my eARC port on my Denon X2700H. It also doesn't work with Monitor 2 on Denon. This should have been my setup from the start, to enjoy movie nights. So, my setup was to connect the JVC eARC port to the eARC port on my Sony X900H TV. My other devices are connected to the Denon AVR and the monitor 2 output is connected to the only other HDMI 2.1 port on my TV. This worked for me. However, every time I disconnected one of my components, the JVC processing unit shut down completely, requiring me to unplug and reconnect the JVC processing unit to restore power. According to JVC it is a CEC function. However, I disabled CEC on the CPU and all other components involved and the problem persisted. I was still thinking about leaving the jvc xp-ext1 because the sound it was playing was fantastic, but I was frustrated with the constant disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply. Finally, I tried just connecting my Xbox One, Sony UBP-X700 4k Blu Ray Player and Roku Ultra directly to JVC processor. Only Roku Ultra worked well. Sony UBP-X700 4k Blu Ray Player and Xbox One stuck. This led me to the final decision to return the product as it wasn't ready for prime time or maybe I had received a poor quality set. DANGEROUS: Most features require a downloaded app to use or replace. I don't like this idea at all. So much can go wrong with an app. What if an app update makes the situation worse in the future? What if JVC decides to stop supporting the application after a few years? The processor unit is made of plastic and is thin. For 1000€ I expected a lot more. The 'setup' consisted of connecting a 3.5mm audio cable from the headphones to the processing unit and taking a few measurements, just like Audyssey did. However, this is very tedious and there are always errors during setup. After about 10 tries, I learned to "measure" my ears and ambient noise. NO HDMI cable included. I have some super high speed cables so I was fine. However, for $1,000, it should come with a Super High Speed HDMI cable. Also, for $1,000, all features and settings must be on the processor rather than using the app. HOPES FOR THE FUTURE: I hope that Sony will release a new version of their MDR-HW700DS with an eARC port and Atmos DTS:X support, or I would even like to see an updated WH-L600 with an eARC port with Atmos/DTS:X support. My last hope for the future is that Dolby will add its "Dolby Atmos for Headphones" to all future AVRs and/or TVs. My RIG 800XL sounds great on Xbox One with Dolby Atmos for headphones. Unfortunately, my Xbox One only supports HD and not 4K. Maybe in a few months, when the Xbox Series X is available for free to ruthless speculators, I'll go down that route and pay half the price of these JVC Exofields. or I'd even like to see an updated WH-L600 with an eARC port with Atmos/DTS:X support.
