To put it nicely, the soundbar market is flooded. Everyone has some kind of solution for virtual 3D speakers. Sennheiser did it the German way, using technology from Frauenhofer – you know, they invented the MP3 format. Sennheiser comes in several versions, but here we’re looking at the D06612cc7719e463481151fa887d2f5e887d2f5e8 version, which, as the name suggests, isn’t very big, measuring in at 70cm wide, making it one of the smallest soundbars we’ve tested. So when Sennheiser calls it “compact,” they mean it. For £700, which is what it costs most places, you get a relatively compact device that delivers sound at “cinema and audiophile levels”. Here I have to assume that the person writing this article has probably never been to a good home theater, or been to a movie theater at all, or has never listened to a stereo reference system, because no matter how much witchcraft there is in these soundbars Poison cults and witchcraft, it’s 500 light years away from anything remotely close to the real thing. You can write regarding it as close as you can get with a small, compact unit, but anyone can tell you that the massive reduction in space and price means the experience isn’t the same – in any way imaginable Way. The marketing materials also talk regarding “4” subwoofers” – mentioning such a small midrange unit makes the product description very unreliable, and it’s no better when you refer to the device as a “7.1.4 home theater system” Where to go – As far as I know this term applies to physical equipment, having one speaker that artificially tries to create the same feeling is not the same as having 11 physical speakers and a subwoofer. The word “virtual” is sorely lacking. It’s an ad: but on the soundbar itself and the installation. I don’t quite understand why they want people to install another app – there are already too many of them. But sour people must also realize , the fact that you can fine-tune it once the room calibration is complete is actually smart enough. Luckily, there’s also a remote hidden in the package. On the other hand, I don’t understand why it’s possible to only expand the system with a subwoofer, but that’s not possible Buy additional physical rear speakers, although almost all competitors offer it and I think the price is very high. And the wall mount is not included – you have to buy it extra… There are six units, each Has its own little class D amplifier, four 1.6″ full range drivers and two 4″ woofers – I refuse to call them subwoofers. Lots of goodies built in, Chromecast, AirPlay 2, Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect and whatever Supports uPnP stuff. There’s HDMI 2.1, USB-A for power, Bluetooth 5.2 and WIFI 6. No optical input. It’s designed so you can connect your device to your TV, and then the TV’s eARC HDMI output connects to the soundbar , and then everything else needs to be connected to the TV. I’m not sure how many people will need the extra optical input, or if it doesn’t really matter, and in this price range I might expect HDMI passthrough without optical. But most What matters is the sound. It’s excellent, although I didn’t care too much for the virtual surround, and the height channels in particular are a bit lackluster. The sound is very rich, and the bass from this little unit is impressive, but you don’t have to have a lot of subwoofers or floor-standing speakers Just know it’s far from reference – but when it comes to soundbars a rich and bassy sound is definitely good, unfortunately many soundbars tend to be more than just slim but suffer from a lack of bass, especially in tune sound, it’s noticeably lighter. But I also have to be honest, the price means you can get a non-mini soundbar for the same money, which undoubtedly takes up more space, but is also noticeably heavier as a result, There’s more and better bass reproduction in this case too. The soundbar is fine for regular series and presentations, as well as most movies with no real action, but if you want to watch a movie and have one that Sennheiser thinks it can deliver experience, you need a subwoofer, then a 4in unit isn’t enough, and here we ended up with a system that cost over £1,000. Here’s an advert: So, for its size, it sounds great Good, but for movies you need to buy a subwoofer to get real bass, and you don’t get the relevant rear channels, plus the pretty high price, I’m a bit surprised they didn’t do a better job pricing the product Analyze the market because with a better price, compact size and otherwise reasonable sound means there will be a large audience for the installation.
