The product can be used, I expected a little more.

Previously used a Yamaha YSP-2700 suit everyone except that there are no rears. I tried to connect the Music Cast 20 speakers to it. But alas. in the end I decided to try this soundbar with rear music casts 20 because already have experience using the application. set everything up very quickly. downloaded a good movie with 5.1 track and was very pleased with the result! The sound is very good. everything is set up as it should. But I still watch YouTube on TV. those. somewhere 60% YouTube 40%…

Pros
  • App control sound quality when there is a 5.1 track
Cons
  • there is no "remote control" like on Polk audio soundbars. when you can program the TV remote to control the sound of the soundbar. very bad sound with a regular track (for example, YouTube)

The right product for me, the price suited me.

All these glitches are extremely infuriating, I want to give up and buy a decent soundbar, for example, Bose 500, although it is 2 times more expensive, but it has been brought to mind. It seems to me that all these problems can be fixed with the new firmware. I hope the manufacturer does the same. Otherwise, a very unpleasant impression is formed and use is not something that does not give pleasure, but, on the contrary, wildly angers. If you do not use it to the fullest, use only one source…

Pros
  • -Sound is good. Better than most soundbars. There are treble and midrange speakers, unlike, for example, Sony. - Abundance of interfaces for connection. -The design is not bad, especially the subwoofer. I will write more about this point in the minuses. -Good sound for music!
Cons
  • -Practically the entire software part! Works disgusting! - AirPlay is terrible. Hangs up. When switching several tracks, the delay is 15 seconds each. I changed sources, router and other settings, nothing helped. Through BT it works better. -The music does not stop when the phone rings, it is extremely disturbing and very stupid in general that this was not thought through. This phenomenon is observed with any phone. -Sometimes freezes and does not play sound. Everything has to be reloaded. -The sound and volume settings are always reset when switching sources. Very uncomfortable! -No frequency settings. - At different volumes, different sound quality. -Standard functions that change the sound (Surround, Clear Voice and others) do not work well. - The bass is not deep enough and of good quality. But still relatively good. - Subwoofer geometry. It is inconvenient to remove it because of the height. -Subwoofer is a bit tricky in terms of location. It greatly affects the sound.

The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

Sound and power are top notch. The bass is just a bomb. For a simple layman, the device is 200% justified and worth its money. At first it was a pity 35000r. give. Now I have never regretted it. Take it, please! Some pros: Convenient to manage. The bass is a bomb and the sound is awesome, provided that the quality of the listening format is in good quality. You put the subwoofer anywhere and you don't even feel the difference, the sound comes from all parts of the room. You watch the movie…

In general, everything is not bad, but I expected more.

The real cost is no more than 30 what they ask for it is a robbery. I bought for 44500. For 50 it should be sold with rears, then the norms. Rears of 20 total 40 and the system itself 49 90 do you think it's worth it or you really overpay. Some pros: The sound quality of the panel itself is clean detailed, expandable to a 5.1 system Has cons: High cost, dull bass, expensive rear speakers, poor application, designed up to 14-18m2 no more. Cut tidal is not clear why. No dolby atmos support.

Impressive Soundbar for Home Theatre Setup

After trying this soundbar from a well-known electronics brand, I can definitely say that it's worth the investment. The sound quality is top-notch and the MusicCast feature allows me to easily stream music from my phone to the soundbar. The setup was straightforward and the remote is user-friendly. The only con is that it is a bit on the pricey side, but for the quality of sound and features provided, it's worth it. Overall, a great addition to my home theatre setup.

Pros
  • Excellent sound quality with powerful bass and clear dialogue.
Cons
  • May require additional speakers for surround sound experience.

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

Satisfied with the device. With its pros. The sound is excellent for the price. Compared with the Bose 500 in terms of sound, I did not hear the difference. After ating the firmware, all devices work stably. Bought two separate Musiccast20 speakers. As a result, I got the sound around, although the soundbar itself is a compromise in terms of front and side sound. Airplay works stably. You can separately pull the sound to the bar, separately to small speakers. You can do everything at once…

A couple of notes: 1) the sound, whatever one may say, will be 2.1 - no 3d virtualizer will provide you with real 5.1. If you want real 5.1, then you can throw in expensive (on my wallet) YAMAHA MusicCast 20 speakers or one MusicCast 50 and it will save you. Perhaps in time I will do so, since the system allows itself to be scaled without problems. 2) PS4 started to give excellent sound and panorama, I even wanted to replay a couple of titles. The main thing is not to forget about this "remind"

Pros
  • 1) The build quality is excellent - no backlash, no squeaks. 2) Significantly expand the capabilities of the TV in terms of audio. IVI and Kinopoisk came to life, even YouTube became more pleasant to watch. There were good uterine basses (soft, not "beats"), as the voices are now not interrupted by the background sounds of the film. 3) The soundbar communicated flawlessly with my main system from a yamaha r-n303 receiver + audio regiment t50 speakers. All software chips to improve the sound - work for five with a minus (here it's a matter of taste).
Cons
  • 1) I would regard the soundbar as a purely TV accessory, music is not about him. If you can listen to a song once, then I wouldn’t do it on an ongoing basis - I personally didn’t like anything from the equalizer presets for the sound (at the same time, an unspoiled ear will be pleased). 2) 3D virtualizer for an amateur - the same YouTube sounds great, movies with 5.1 support are just as good (the panorama is really getting wider). But when it comes to "cinema from a torrent" this same virtualizer pulls all the dirt out of the soundtrack and, without hesitation, throws it into your ears. Content for viewing now has to be selected more carefully.

I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

In general, the purchase met all my expectations for me, I listened to a lot of things, this bar is what you need for a small apartment, of course you can find fault with the sound, but there is one thing, this is a soundbar and you can only compare it with similar devices. in the future, buy two musiccast 20 for the rear to watch a movie, oh yes, I forgot to say that I bought it with a discount of almost 25%, if anyone doubts this purchase and have questions, write me the answer

Pros
  • Excellent sound in both movies and music (for the money), good control through a proprietary application, soundbar workmanship
Cons
  • the control panel is not very convenient, there is no saving of sound settings for different sources, there is a real lack of an alarm clock in the application

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Finally, I will write a normal review on this soundbar, unlike all the toothless reviews in RuNet. ;) I re-read a bunch of reviews and reviews, from which I found out that Sony are notable for their unsightly design and problems in connecting the sub to the bar (and in general, the stability of work), Samsung and LG have problems with the quality of sound / music playback, and all the rest are either too exotic and not have technical support in 2022 or the necessary functions. Now in order: 1…

Pros
  • Nice and neat design Availability of Dolby, DTS, DTS Virtual:X decoders Playing lossless audio files Internet radio, music services, DLNA AirPlay/Bluetooth HDMI ARC Quality mobile app Expandable to 5.1 with wireless surrounds
Cons
  • Not all functions are displayed on the remote Lack of Dolby TrueHD/Atmos, DTS HDMA/X decoders No custom equalizer Lack of USB for connecting a flash drive / disk with music Lack of learning mode to work with someone else's remote control Expensive wireless surrounds

I was surprised by the quality for the price.

Good sound, but loud for my room. Neighbors came. Of course, you need to listen to the sources in good quality. And loudly, at low volume it doesn’t reveal everything.
