QUOTE(FiragaZ @ Nov 15 2021, 11:57 AM) Thanks for sharing, i decided to go with Samsung HW-Q700A, tested both soundbar at Harvey Norman, LG SN8Y got high qualify finishing, clarity is good but in high pitch (hurt my ear) and older model 2020 as well, Samsung HW-Q700A bass is more punchy, sound are great and balanced, spacefit feature can calibrate and adapt the sound depends on your room size, latest model 2021, most importantly i got a good deal on 11.11 I went Harvey Norman to check YAS209, not up to my liking, but the YSP1600 quality is fuller and caught my attention. Upon checking price, it is 2.15k but been 5@6 years old already.I will check Q700A again and see if it match YSP1600 quality |

QUOTE(arvind13 @ Jan 15 2022, 12:27 PM) Did u manage to check on the Q700A? I'm planning to get this but can't seem to test it at stores as this model wasn't on display before pulling the trigger. I pulled my trigger on Q950A, no regrets and my friends are impressed with it as well. They are going to get it also.I read somewhere theres a new model coming out soon. Just dont waste time on those budget soundbar, initially I wanted to get the highly rated Yamaha YAS209 but turn out when I went harvey norman to test it, even my wife is not impressed, some how some what we check and tested the Q950A and that is the one that makes my jaw drop. arvind13 liked this post

QUOTE(arvind13 @ Jan 19 2022, 12:00 PM) A'ah I see... Thanks for the update mate.. Definitely gonna be overkill considering the size of ur living room, mine is around the same as urs, 30% volume can be heard by the next door and the floor below can feel the bass. Most of the time will be 15-25% of the volume only arvind13 liked this post

QUOTE(FusionXY @ Jan 20 2022, 03:39 PM) How's the quality? Do you like or don't like as the display is facing to the ceiling not to us. 1. Quality is good, excellent to my likings, make sure you dont use Bluetooth nor Airplay to stream, link your spotify account to it and inside spotify apps select the output as your Soundbar. The song will stream directly from the soundbar, quality is noticeably better!You got use the Apps to control? Music or movies much better with this? If play YouTube music then the rear speakers got sound? 2. Movie is better and immediately you can feel the bass when watching netflix opening, it gives u the cinema feel. I played some movie and theres scene of door opening, when my friends were with me they were shocked and look at the TV direction and it felt like a real door opening / closing. But for music, as long as the sound source is good, u wont be disappointed. 3. I did not notice this cuz my stand has not arrived, I just placed the 2 speaker beside the main sound bar now. 4. I leave all the settings to default and turn on the soundstage mode. That is good enough, meanwhile I connect using ARC to TV, therefore I only use TV Remote to control the volume or Spotify apps to control the volume most of the time. |
