HI! I am concerned about the music performance of these soundbars, not happy with the music performance of my Yamaha Yas 209 as mid range is not that good. My question is how these soundbars like the Bose soundbar 600 and other 5.1 soundbars performs with music listening as music sounds best at stereo. Does the sound while listening music comes from only 2 left and right speakers or from all speakers, coz it can sound not natural in the latter case. Is there any option to listen to stereo mode while listening music in soundbars other than yas 209
Yes, soundbars do have a stereo option but it is a case-by-case basis. if you really want dedicated speakers for music only, you can consider something like Klipsch the fives. For other soundbars, it is better to go to an offline store and try out the settings yourself.
Your videos are very informative, thank you Can you please make videos on hdmi or 4K support sound bars as it’s needed for lots of people with old tv units or projectors Or could you list budget wise and post a link Thank you 😊
Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate it. Please elaborate a little more on your requirement and I can make a video on the same. If you find it difficult to elaborate, simply leave questions and I will do my best to answer them. :-)
@@IdiotBox86 thank you for your reply. I am doctor by profession. we have a tv and projector which have hdmi input but don’t have erc or arc input, so I was told not to take sound bar. Only after watching your video I understood there are sound bars with pass through features and we can connect fire stick or setup box to sound bar and by using pass through feature I can connect to tv for video. Our tv hall is about 14x18 feet, please suggest sound bars for the space and also budget upto 50k.
@@praveenkumar-no9qx So, for the pass-through feature to work, the TV or projector needs to support HDMI ARC or eARC. For a projector, it makes sense for you to consider an Amplifier or a proper home theatre as that will work best with the projector. For an old TV that is old and has only AUX or the old red and white audio output, you can consider a pair of high end bookshelf speakers like the Klipsch the fives. If the Klipsch are out of your budget, you can consider the Mackie CR5 speakers. I have personally used them with an old TV that had AUX output only and really liked their performance. here is a link for the same amzn.to/3qvluLz
Philips has good neutral sounding soundbars. So if that's your preference, then go for the Philips. if you like the slightly bassy nature of the JBl, then that's the one for you.
@@rdcal It's a good soundbar and should work well for your requirements. However, I recommend you go to an offline store and experience it once to see if it sounds good to you.
Yes I saw the unboxing video of Nakamichi Dragon on Digital Trends.They had the first #1 of the 700 units made. A HiFi sound bar. Your list was an interesting mix of best sound bars. Your presentation reminded me of RTINGS. Went through the specs of Philips & Samsung. Philips has given detailed specs coming with 10% THD, while Samsung hasn't disclosed much. You said it right Bose & Sony are not recommended by the experts nowadays. Philips is going the Nokia way. Samsung Audio Lab has redefined the sound bar tech. Happy weekend Sir 🙏

Hey there, this is an excellent overview of the different soundbars. Very nice to see the comparison among the different soundbars, albeit expensive, available in the market. Do you think the Philips TAB8967 5.1.2 soundbar holds its own against the competition? Does it punch above its weight against the likes of JBL Bar 500 or the Samsung Q800C? My room size is around 13 ft by 12 ft and the viewing distance is around 10 ft. Thanks again for your inputs. Thanks for your
thank you for your comment! I really want to check out the Philips TAB8967 5.1.2 in detail. However, for your use case I'd like to know your budget, use case (streaming services, set-top-box content, gaming, etc) and also, how do you like your bass?
@@IdiotBox86 Thanks for your reply. My budget is around 30-40K, although I can extend it by upto 10K for premium brands such as JBL, Samsung, Sony, and so on. I don't watch Set-Top box content, only OTT and Gaming. Mostly for movies/TV Shows on Netflix/Prime, Gaming on PS5/Series X, and the occasional UA-cam/songs. As far as the bass is concerned, I do want it deep but not overpowering. It should have a theatre-like effect but not be muddy or boomy. I have personally heard the following soundbars in the retail stores: - Samsung Q990C (best among all but pricey): 76K - Bose Soundbar 600/900 with Bass Module and surrounds (900 wins overall and sounds amazing, albeit very expensive): 1.5L - Sony A2000/A3000 with surrounds and bass module (bass is very good but doesn't justify the price as compared to the competition, lacks clarity due to the lower number of channels maybe?): 1L - JBL Bar 1000/9.1 (1000 was better overall but the dialogues didn't come through that well): 1L - JBL Bar 500 (sounded pretty good for the price but again the dialogues were a bit recessed): 45K - Samsung Q800/700/600 B/C Series Soundbars (Very good for the price but lack the surround sound): 40K My main requirement as mentioned before is movies/TV shows, Deep yet quality bass, and decent gaming experience. I want to get the Samsung Q990C but it's way beyond the budget. Do you think it's worth 76K though? Thanks again for your inputs.
@@JeniferAJ-h6gYou've done your homework :-). Short answer, yes. go in for the Samsung Q990C if you can extend your budget. you will be very happy with it and won't need an upgrade for almost 7-10 years. As for the rest, which is the model you realllllllyyyyyyy want that fits your budget?
@@IdiotBox86 Thanks for your inputs. I too felt that the Q990C justifies the price. However, due to the lack of HDMI 2.1 support, do you think this soundbar will remain future-proof? Maybe the Q990D (2024 model) will come with it and this may become obsolete. Just saying :) As far as the remaining options are concerned, the Samsung Q800C and the JBL Bar Pro 500 seem like good contenders. Which one will you recommend? Or if you have another recommendation in the sub-50K price bracket, that would be great. Thanks and subscribed!
@@JeniferAJ-h6g Yes. you are right. No HDMI 2.1 is a bummer. But is there a guarantee that it will be there on the 2024 model? Also, there is always new technology around the corner. By that logic, we will be waiting perpetually :-p. If I were you, I'd go for the Q990C. Believe me, you don't want buyer's remorse in the future. I am saying this cos I have felt it. I went for the LG B9 instead of the C9 to save a little money. Go for the Q990C. you won't be disappointed. But if you can't push the budget, then the Samsung Q800C is also a worthy option.

I love your videos, your clarity is amazing. Also watched some of your videos in Digit. I have one doubt regarding b670/b67e. I have asked many. None of them have knowledge on this. It's simple question actually. Please see my other comment.
Ok boss so I’m in the market for a soundbar setup and yes I’d like the whole package with the woofer and surround speakers as well .. however, to start with I decided to check out the Sony HT-S40R or the Sony HT - S700 rf( since that is where my budget range starts from; the upper limit is gonna majorly depend on how much value it offers as compared to the cheaper options) Having said that, at the store I was dissuaded from both these models as they aren’t truly Bluetooth capable .. and that’s a deal breaker , so obviously yes I’m looking for something truly Bluetooth .. I love the idea of Modular’s since that gives me some room in terms of budget .. now the option offers instead of the Sonys was yeh JBL 500 one you spoke about here .. and yes I sounded great as well .. but I’m looking for something more premium and definitely something futuristic proof in terms of let’s say I have a bigger room in the future ( 12x12 ft rite now). I liked the Bose setup you suggested and I like the Sony ht A5000 as well . Have no clue about how the Bose will compare to the compete Sony setup and don’t know jack shit about the Sonos(although I’ve heard that they’re a pretty big deal too) now with all the options .. I’m really confused as to what to go for .. please help me decide … I think I modular options seems alright .. I think I can afford to spend about 50k at a time for every modular component hoping I will have a commendable setup for atleast the next few years to come .. I love my cinema and would love an immersive experience. I have an lg qned 55inch tv if that matters at all. Looking forward to your response . Thanks in Advance
Hey, thanks for your comment. I think the Sonos Bea Gen 2 can be a good option for you to start. the bar alone is 50K, so I know it doesn't solve your problem of getting the subwoofer at the same time. But you can build the entire setup over a few months or years depending on your budget. However, if you can double your budget to about 1L (I know that's asking for a lot), you can check out the Samsung Q990D. It is a fantastic option: amzn.to/3Saubp2. Staying with Samsung, for around 80K, you can also check out the Q930C: amzn.to/4f3ZP1n. Both are great options. you can probably get these soundbars at a cheaper price during the festive sale or even offline. Hope the recommendations help 🙂
@@IdiotBox86 thanks a ton mate .. irrespective of whatever I go for .. I’ll be able to upgrade every component ..in a couple of months .. I just don’t wanna spend upto 1.5 on a music system setup at once .. so you’re saying the Sonos beam and the Samsung Q990D are the only options ? So nothing from Bose or Sony competes with the Sonos or Samsung that you recommended ?! What if money wasn’t an object .. what would you recommend to someone with no budget constraints?
@@TarunAryaa There are a lot of options. But I was trying to narrow it down for you. As I mentioned in the video, if money is not a constraint, go for the Nakamichi dragon. Else build a custom home theatre. The beauty of the situation is that there are a lot of options to consider.
Hi there. I love your videos. Thank you for the good work you're doing!You've just earned a sub! I'd like your recommendation for my Vu Masterpiece 55inch TV installed in my hall which is a 17*12 ft room and the couch from the TV is around 11-12 ft. I want to invest in a modular soundbar ONLY for now and later maybe upgrade it with a sub woofer and eventually with speakers. Any specific recommendations for this setup are much appreciated. Thank you!
Hey, thanks for your comment. What is the budget for the soundbar? What will be your primary use case? (watching TV from a set top box, movies, music, gaming? How important are extra connectivity options (HDMI passthrough, etc). Also, do you want to invest in surround speakers in the future? Please let me know.
@IdiotBox86 I'll need this for watching movies and the occasional house parties. So music and movies are top priorities. I struggle with dialogue clarity currently from my TV audio. I don't want to spend an exuberant amount of money, of course. Anything under 40-45k should be fine. Having said that I also don't want sub par audio quality. I like minimalistic design but looks aren't paramount. I want the option to be able to upgrade it in the future like surround speakers. I don't use a set top box. Just the OTT platforms.
@@storiesfrommylife2047 hmmmmm.... ok. so for your budget and requirement, I recommend one Bose and 2 Sony options in the following order amzn.to/46CX95S amzn.to/46FTl3J amzn.to/3rFJjkp personally, id go for the bose considering your requirements.

does buying a Sony soundbar with Sony tv have any advantages? I am about to buy Sony X82L or 90L and am selecting between two soundbars, Sony HT-G700 and Philips TAB8947 , What should you think will be better? As my workstation room I am building is small, about 15x11 sqft, and viewing distance from my tv will be 8-9ft, that's why not going for soundbars with surround speakers as in the small I won't have much space keep them in a decent distance from my and walls, so they won't have much effect..
Both the TV options you have chosen support Bravia Sync. But the soundbars you have selected do not. So, the same brand of soundbar and TV isn't applicable here. Go in for either Sony HT-G700 or Philips TAB8947. you will not be disappointed. The Sony can get louder and has more pronounced bass and good dynamic range. The Philips has more neutral sounding sound. Both are excellent options.
The problem is that some are having virtual Dolby Atmoss, but DTS X, true HD , Dolby Vision, Dolby Digital are not available and majority of them are not having HDMI eARC.
for 36k jbl bar 500 do you have any other suggestions for range of 35k
depends on the use case. also, do you like more bass or neutral bass?

I just don’t wanna spend upto 1.5 on a music system setup at once .. so you’re saying the Sonos beam and the Samsung Q990D are the only options ? So nothing from Bose or Sony competes with the Sonos or Samsung that you recommended ?! What if money wasn’t an object .. what would you recommend to someone with no budget constraints?
What about the Sony HT-A3000/5000/7000 setup ? / how does that fare against the competition ?
@@TarunAryaa There are a lot of options. But I was trying to narrow it down for you. As I mentioned in the video, if money is not a constraint, go for the Nakamichi dragon. Else build a custom home theatre. The beauty of the situation is that there are a lot of options to consider.
@@TarunAryaa Depends on your budget, size of the room and use case.
Hi there. I love your videos. Thank you for the good work you're doing!You've just earned a sub!
I'd like your recommendation for my Vu Masterpiece 55inch TV installed in my hall which is a 17*12 ft room and the couch from the TV is around 11-12 ft. I want to invest in a modular soundbar ONLY for now and later maybe upgrade it with a sub woofer and eventually with speakers.
Any specific recommendations for this setup are much appreciated.
Thank you!
Hey, thanks for your comment. What is the budget for the soundbar? What will be your primary use case? (watching TV from a set top box, movies, music, gaming? How important are extra connectivity options (HDMI passthrough, etc). Also, do you want to invest in surround speakers in the future? Please let me know.
@IdiotBox86 I'll need this for watching movies and the occasional house parties. So music and movies are top priorities. I struggle with dialogue clarity currently from my TV audio. I don't want to spend an exuberant amount of money, of course. Anything under 40-45k should be fine. Having said that I also don't want sub par audio quality. I like minimalistic design but looks aren't paramount. I want the option to be able to upgrade it in the future like surround speakers. I don't use a set top box. Just the OTT platforms.
@@storiesfrommylife2047 hmmmmm.... ok. so for your budget and requirement, I recommend one Bose and 2 Sony options in the following order
amzn.to/46CX95S
amzn.to/46FTl3J
amzn.to/3rFJjkp
personally, id go for the bose considering your requirements.
If you can extend your budget (considerably) go for the Samsung Q990C or even last years Q990B. amzn.to/3RQQBfB
It is a fantastic all in one package.
How about LG sound bar SC9S?
Decent option. What's the budget and use case?
does buying a Sony soundbar with Sony tv have any advantages? I am about to buy Sony X82L or 90L and am selecting between two soundbars, Sony HT-G700 and Philips TAB8947 , What should you think will be better? As my workstation room I am building is small, about 15x11 sqft, and viewing distance from my tv will be 8-9ft, that's why not going for soundbars with surround speakers as in the small I won't have much space keep them in a decent distance from my and walls, so they won't have much effect..
Both the TV options you have chosen support Bravia Sync. But the soundbars you have selected do not. So, the same brand of soundbar and TV isn't applicable here. Go in for either Sony HT-G700 or Philips TAB8947. you will not be disappointed. The Sony can get louder and has more pronounced bass and good dynamic range. The Philips has more neutral sounding sound. Both are excellent options.
Nakamitchi Dragon is really best among all
I wish we get a chance to experience it in India.
The problem is that some are having virtual Dolby Atmoss, but DTS X, true HD , Dolby Vision, Dolby Digital are not available and majority of them are not having HDMI eARC.
@@venkataramaraomangu what model are you talking about?
That costs a lot. Since it comes with Atmos AVR licence from Dolby
