I've had the Sierra plus for 3 months now..Dolby atmos is hardly discernible (imo..it's a gimmick with all soundbars and should be reserved to the movie theater). However, the Sierra does have a nice rich, clean sound with a decent 3D effect. It sounds best in a small room..tried it in our large living room and it definitely could not handle the acoustics of the room. So, back to the TV room where it sounds great. The negatives..since it is a relatively unknown product, we can't get it to sync with our Tivo (Sierra not listed). It also powers on intermittently even when turned off..probably because it only goes to standby and receives signals from smart tv, Roku as they update continuously giving the Sierra a signal to power on..have to unplug it overnight. Overall, it's a decent quality soundbar for a small room. Nice review.
I have very good luck with the samsung one. IT's in a loft space with a regular rectangle size room and about 9 foot ceiling.. They go on sale quiet often.
Hi JohnyTechReview, I’m looking to purchase this soundbar mostly for music as l like to listen to Spotify. Do you recommend this soundbar for music listening or do you have any others you could advice to buy. You mentioned a few times your Samsung soundbar sounds better. What is the model number. Looking forward to your reply.
If I record it it depends on my microphones and your setup so you won’t get a good representation. But I will do a shorts for you so you can get an idea.
Good point about the front display not being dimmable and no night mode
Great vid bro!

Out of curiosity would you choose this soundbar or the Majority Everest 5.1 Soundbar (asking as you have reviewed both)

music is your focus? depends on pricing and what's on sale, I would focus on Yamaha or Sonos. Samsung are ok for music and this is similar
Would you pick the Everest or the Sierra Plus? Thanks
Definitely go with the everest as the speakers will give you surround sound unlike this one which doesn't
Would have been nice to actually hear a before and after so can get a better idea, describing what it is like doesn't really help
