Very high quality performance
The power supply is inside and not on the wire, as in the younger models
The sound in this system instantly starts everywhere, and in the younger models, the rear speakers connected via bluetooth and the native subwoofer begin to reproduce the sound always with a delay, every time (this starts to enrage from the first day).
The sub is large, powerful, and very well balanced, it does not pull the blanket over itself.
There is a very powerful bass on the stick itself, which is why the soundbar cover is rag-like, like on a subwoofer, because it specifically pumps air like a subwoofer.
The sound really envelops in honest Dolby Atmos. Provided that your TV supports Atmos, the content that you watch is also with honest Atmos. Often in the description of the film they will write: Atmos - but it is not there at all. Look for movies with honest soundtracks. For example, the series "Foundation" there is Atmos with 2022 voice acting, but not everywhere you will be given this series with the Atmos track, more often you can get a regular stereo track there, be careful.
I connected everything to my 2022 Philips 806 TV, everything is controlled from the TV remote control, without the slightest delay. In the younger model of the 700 series, there were terrible glitches and turn-on delays. Everything here is lightning fast, it is very pleasing.
The remote control is very compact and convenient.
The stick is huge, even a little longer than the TV 55 diagonal.
The sound is almost perfect. The voice is gorgeous, the effects all sound great.
Felt almost like in a movie theater, when viewed with an Atmos sound track. Rear surrounds do not always sound, only when the sound engineer has taken care of it.
There is a virtual sound, it works mega chic, a simple stereo spreads over all the speakers and you still feel the atmosphere of the sound.
There is also 5.1 sound, without Atmos which sounds great too, on all speakers. Sound transitions forward and backward are heard.
Awesome soundbar.
