Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini Review - Small Size, Big Sound?
Wait what? So the treble accuracy is 7.1 based off your old methodology, but now all of the sudden it has changed to 9.7 thanks to your “small” adjustments? The results of your tests are completely inconsistent and we can no longer rely on your tests especially since we can’t even compare older headphones with newer ones. This is totally unacceptable.
Can i take you out for a coffee?
Ratings is awesome. How do they stay profitable?
Wow, she's beautiful.
Audio drc (dynamic range control) on or off?
Do you have a recommended equalizer setting for these headphones?
I just bought the xtreme4 and I'm sorely disappointed. It really--I mean really lacks bass. I had either the orig xtreme or the xtreme2 and it was a lot better, had better bass and I was satisfied...until it died. I'm going to return the xtreme4, sadly. I wonder if the bose max has decent enough bass
Would this be worth the upgrade over an old 5.1 Martin Logan speaker system?
Bose for close proximity hi-fi experience listening, JBL for outside backyard party box.
Great video.
Thank you! 😄
🤗🤗🤗🤗
I just tried this bar and I really like the sound of the vizio M series better.
She said Terminator 2! I love it!
Just ordered this with more than half the price off during a black Friday deal. Samsung gave me an even better deal as I choose to send them my old soundbar to be recycled! Looking forward to replacing my TCL TS8132.
How much did you end up paying with tax? Also how much did you get in for the trade in? I don’t see that option when I add it to the cart
Digital nomads like me want call quality tests, but they are nowhere to be found, as usual.
Appreciate the very in depth review and independent testing you guys do at RTINGS! Keep it up!!!
Thank you! 😄 We're always trying to deliver as much as we can for each product!
Vanessa, you sure speak with your hands.
I have learned a lot from your great website to choose my earbuds , headphones and speakers. Thanks a lot 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
So happy to hear that! 😄
insightful 😀😀
Please author recommend best sounding wireless airbuds,thank you ! And decent mic pls
Just lost my Elite Active 75Ts and considering getting one of these but not sure which ones, I tried the AirPod Pro Gen 2s but the seal wasn’t good enough for me so I returned them, I like bass and complete isolation for music
Bose qc ultra are by far the worst I've tested this year. They just sound unnatural and wrong, there's no other word to describe them. Sony's are not far from them. They sound muffled. There are so many better choices, it's hard to understand. 😂
Nice review. Jabra say they will provide app updates to dec 2027
I have both and wear the 8’s much more
Why?
The 8’a are a much better, tighter fit, feel more durable / hard wearing and (to my ears anyway) have just as good a sound….if I was going to get rid of one, would be the 10’s. I wear the 8’s in the gym and even they will fall out at end of session, 10’s wouldn’t stay in at all, I’m sure.
@@AndrewUA-camhandle PS I also have the Technics AZ80’s and I actually think I’d keep the active 8’s over them (!) for similar reasons.
Excellent comparision review !!!
very curious if the elite 10s would perform better if you stuck on a regular round eartip?
People who tried it say it improves ANC performance. The unusual shape will work poorly for some and great for others. I honestly can't tell the difference with mine, and I'm using one large and one medium tip... which is to say my ear shapes are less than perfect.
I think im in love
These or the jbl tune buds
Simple Choice and 3 reasons why. 1) MDAQS The Multi-Dimensional Audio Quality Score results indicates BOSE Quiet Comfort Ultra is much better than the SONY WH-1000XM5. 2) Sony XM5 release date May 2022 MSRP $399.99 and Bose QC Ultra release date October 2023 MSRP $429. aka release date (age) and original pricing. 3) 2024 Holiday sale XM5 $299 and QC Ultra $329 both dropping $100. affordability as Sony XM5 should be discounted more because it is a year older than Bose QC Ultra. On the other hand, the best audio/sounding BT headphones are the Sennheiser Momentum 4 release date August 2022 MSRP $349 and now on sale for $229 as $120 less. The Momentum 4 MDAQS rating is about equal to the Bose QC Ultra. Another thing: Momentum 4 just sounds better than Bose or Sony probably because of the 42mm dynamic drivers. The best affordable Bluetooth headphone which cost less of the 3 is Momentum 4. The quality is better than the Sony XM5 and just a small notch below the Bose QC Ultra. I own 2 sets of Momentum 4 headphones. Purchased Bose QC Ultra during this holiday period for trial/comparison for the last 3 weeks. Will be returning the QC Ultra because paying $100 more to get slightly better ANC and immersion/larger stage presence which don't really occur just not worth the money. Yes! ears get warmer with M4 but it compensates for individuals who wear eye glasses as in for comfort. You listen to different genre of music for pleasure as quality of audio makes it nice to listen to. As for BT headphones in this mid-level competition, the M4 has not been beaten or won over yet regarding sound. MDAQS: Scale of 1 to 5. 1 is Poor and 5 is Best. Anything above 4 is very good. for example: It's like college GPA as Provost list 3.9 - 4.2, Deans List 4.3 - 4.7 and President's List 4.8 - 5.0 Sony XM5: Timbre 4.3, Distortion 3.6, Immersiveness 4.1, Overall 4.2 Provost Momentum 4: Timbre 4.8, Distortion 3.5, Immersiveness 4.1, Overall 4.6 Deans Bose QC Ultra: Timbre 4.8, Distortion 3.2, Immersiveness 4.2, Overall 4.6 Deans
I really want to love these earbuds as they're the best sounding I've ever had. However Sennheiser has some of the worst quality control of any electronic device I've ever purchased. I've had to send mine in about four or five times for repairs in a little over a year for just constant software issues. Sometimes one of the buds won't charge anymore, weird audio glitches, and more
I need the best passive noice isolating :( ANC bothers the heck out of me.. darn shame
sony xm5 in ears + peltors for the best noise reduction?
How does the Wonderboom 4 compare to the Jbl flip 6?? I’ve been stuck between the two since quite a while now..
I immediately stopped when you said 'like you would a tinder profile '. What is this, highschool?
Excellent review, informative and enjoyable to watch.
DDONT TELL LIES HERE...SONY HAS ALMOST THE SAME BATTERY AS JBL NOT ONLY 10 HRS....OR SONY HAS MORE BAYTERY THAN JBL.
what pair of buds works best for latency in windows 11? My Buds Plus have a little lag.
Newby here with the soundbars. Im wanting to connect the soundbar to my TV's one 2.1 HDMI port for 120hz pass through (game consoles). I would not use the EARC port on the TV. Instead can I use the optical port for sound instead with no problems?
Dude you have to use Earc for TV, digital optical has lower sound quality and less features, best Earc for TV and the rest of the ports for consoles, trust the process.
These are really overrated. They sound fine, but the galaxy buds pro 2 sound better, and fit better.
One attribute that's very helpful for me personally is "clamping force," which anyone with a gigantic noggin like myself knows is the first and most important attribute to screen headphones by, lol
This might be a really dumb question but why does Hz matter on a soundbar? Isn't the soundbar simply connected to the TV? Whatever sound the TV sends, the soundbar puts out?
It's for Hdmi pass through. ie connect a ps5 with 120fps game to one of the 2.1 Hdmi inputs and it can send the same video output to a TV.
Gotta give credit to Samsung, they knew how priced their soundbars. Not like their rivals who tends to ovepriced their soundbars a lot just becuase of their reputation. I'm looking at you Sony and JBL.
Can you please do a video review of the epic boom and Megaboom 3 vs 4 your written review is surprising and the successor from the mb3 seems to be the epic
Left right channel imbalance 🤮
Only when improperly powered
@kirathecreatorofthings lol, you can't be serious. It's QC has been horrendous. So many Dusks have measured to have terrible channel imbalance, I assume powered with it's included DSP cable. Using a better amp doesn't change the channel imbalance
@zblus just pan the channel until it's centered
@@kirathecreatorofthings problem is, sometimes one channel has reduced bass but also increased treble. The channel imbalance typically isn't even throughout the frequency range
Yup, we need an OPPO ENCO X2 AND X3 Reviews. Both of them count with one of the best premium sound quality in the field. I just got my X3's to replace my X2 and I'm enjoying every second of it...🎉
Charging is really finicky. I liked my old raycon everydays a lot more.
I like the dress and the watch, good combination 🤭
So I didn’t get the last part are they recommending this over the Sonos arc?
i just bought it for 850$ and it is amazing!
I can barely hear my music. It sounds fine for a second and then it goes into a timid like distorted state. Dont waste 70 dollars on this absolute piece of junk.
