perfect sound, compatible with other RAZER products and programs I use, easy to use, control everything from the small controller
The sound is very good, but the whole system suffers from major limitations:
- It is impossible to adjust the bass sound independently of the ensemble. In the evening, your neighbours will scream because the bass is so loud compared to the rest of the frequencies
- the volume control buttons are VERY LOW, 3 times out of 4 I press "change rendering type" which cuts the sound for 1.5s before coming back as loud
- the volume control buttons are probably set to "0.5%" of the volume: you have to keep pressing them for several seconds before you notice an effect... A big knob to turn would have been more efficient, because when you're watching a movie and suddenly there's a louder sound (for example an action scene), it's impossible to react quickly to lower the sound. Coupled with the lack of a remote control, you'll find yourself constantly going back and forth between your seat/sofa and the speaker bar to adjust the volume
- a problem I've noticed on all the 5.1s I've owned: the speaker goes into "standby" if you don't use it for more than 10 or 15 seconds, so if you pause a movie to answer a text message, take a call, go see your baby who is crying or whatever, you'll have to systematically go back because you'll miss a few seconds of dialogue. The same goes for VoIP calls, if the meeting remains silent for a few seconds, you will have to make your interlocutors repeat themselves each time, which is extremely unpleasant.
At 250€ for a sound bar, I expected much better!
I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure how long it's been in use. I'm not able to connect it in optical (the problem comes maybe from my pc I wait for the arrival of a friend sound engineer to see) and without optical connection, no 5.1 nor surround the device I don't have enough connections for that. After level 2.1 the sound (in jack) is rather very good, clear a good depth perfect for oe game or the music (not tested for the films)
I'm waiting to confirm the 5.1, I hope I don't regret my purchase.
Very skeptical on paper about the sound rendering possible by this package but on first use, blown away by the bar and subwoofer rendering. Whether it's for gaming or movies, the neighbours will scream for mercy before they reach distortion. The only thing missing is a remote control to make it perfect (0.5 points down). Very well packaged and quality material for this price.
I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the service. I'm very pleased with the quality of the product.
Absolutely nothing to say! The sound is really good, with 3 settings: music, film and video games; powerful bass.
Aesthetically the sound bar and the cabinet are great.
And the LDLC delivery is always perfect!
