Quite a linear sounding soundbar. It has a very wide soundstage (one of the widest in the market), but details in the mids are quite flat and I wish they were a little more upfront. Bass is so-so, it's tight but it lacks impact. Treble has good extension and energy, thankfully not harsh sounding at high volumes.
It's an okay soundbar but depending on how much you paid for it, could or could not be a good choice.

RM3.8k ......hopefully its worth it

I tried my colleague Xiaomi TV2 soundbar really a crap piece of soundbar which makes me think twice to invest those LG,Samsung soundbar .....

then i tried Harman Kardon SABRE SB35 sound so so ..... cost rm3.5k

then i also tried JBL SB400 the bass is strong .... cost rm2.9k

lastly i went to bose showroom tried their soundbar ....sound just ok but i think bose soundbar model too old and it cost rm4.8k

After playing around with my Yamaha YSP-4300 ... love it

Really enjoy watching movie, Astro or listen song with it ...now i cant go without it.

The only down side is the sub ...the bass really disappointing and sometimes the wireless sub would disconnect and i tried to change the combination not sure if its help with this problem.

You can try changing your wifi channel to help alleviate the issue, but I doubt it'll fix the problem.

This is why I love Philips Fidelio range of soundbars, their subs, detachable speakers (if any) works on a proprietary 5.836ghz range where even 5Ghz routers/devices would not interfere with. Never had a single Philips Fidelio soundbar disconnect or have any audio cutting issues.

Guys I bought freakin expensive jbl-sb400 at RM3099 from Harvey on 31st of ogos, I didn't even use the soundbar more than 10 times but already spoiled then I sent it to rma at 21st of September and now still under repair and doesn't have any news about when will it be ok but previously Harvey norman told me can repair in 2 weeks. My questions is what is the warranty policy of jbl? Can I go to customer consumer section to fight for a new replacement because this product is so expensive and I don't get to use it and it take so long time to repair.

Hold on, if you've used it less than 10 times... does that mean you haven't used it beyond a week? If it's under a week, you should be able to claim for a 1-to-1 exchange on the spot.

went to seng heng yesterday and was impressed on the DESIGN of the new soundbar (HT-CT370). Sound wise, of course not better than high end SB, anyone has one and keen to review on that?

If it has promo on FREE blueray player (which it did, from pre-order) it will be much much much attractive!

Which one should i go for?
1. Sony HT-CT370
2. LG NB4540A
3. LG NB3540A

One more thing.
I am totally zero about HT setup.
My TV(50L2300VM) doesn't have optical audio and ARC (i assumed, as nothing mention ARC at the back) port.
How to connect my xbox, astro, hyptv, bluray player at the same time?

TQ

I have placed order for Philips HTL9100 at SEC, Penang but end up I was informed there is no stock available even in KL, anyone could verify this? I was even told by SEC, they are willing to return by deposit if i wish to, quite weird?

If so, what will be my other option?

Been testing the Sony CT-770 for over the month, my conclusion on the soundbar is coming to an end. Been thoroughly impressed by it so far.
What I can say is that the CT-770 is perhaps the best soundbar in the 1.5k range currently.

Short review soon.

Thank you Ben. So far, I am very happy with the performance of Sony CT-770
