What to choose in 2025? Devialet Dione or Bang & Olufsen BeoSound Stage?
Has the Devialet fixed its earlier tonal balance issue? Or added a user adjustable EQ?
Well your getting a whole set like most soundbars with Samsung but for the price of 1500 obviously unlike the others but is it honestly premium like the others. Honestly no, agree to disagree but if your hooked on Samsung soundbars then thats ok.
The q990c soundbar was loud but sub was not impressive at all.
Maybe this one is.
I’m not a mega fan of Samsung soundbars the other ones are top notch.
I’m no audiophile but i still have a good ear for sound
The fact you can have dual subwoofers with sonos and bose is fantastic!
Thats one good thing about having dedicated wired home theater passive audio speakers as well
I’ll take that over another hdmi input for gaming or whatever else to hook into a soundbar 🙄
Moving my Sonos Arc and sub gen 3 from my living room to my bedroom and replacing with arch ultra, 2x sub 4’s and a pair of era 300’s. TV is currently a LG G1 77”, going to swap that for a 83” LG G5 later this year. Just got a PS5 pro too.
Surprised no one’s talking about Ultimea. Honestly, it’s way better than the Samsung setup I had before.
Was thinking of a Bose but now knowing its a smart speaker and Alexa now sending recordings to Amazon with NO OPTION TO OPT OUT is a huuuuuge no for me.
Sonos for 2k euros is diabolical 😅🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
What’s the best home surround sound theatre experience? Still confused. Decided against another Sonos due to the lack of DTS
Too many people complain on Sonos Arc Ultra setup. This is bot something a user should feel after paying $2,500.
Got arc ultra today and it sounds so good and the bass is crazy without a sub 😅
Mana yang terbaik menurut pengalaman mendengar anda?
I want concert sounds. I’m looking for Pioneer ❤
How is LG s95qr in comparision to these?
Sonos is super expensive if you get sub and era 300 also. And it has a shitty app experience. Which can make your system useless. So no thank you
Amazing video, like always! I bought the Bose Smart Ultra + Subwoofer for my bedroom. I absolutely love it. I want to one day buy a bigger home theater setup for my living room. And this video really helped me with that decision. I think I’m going to go with the Sonos setup that you mentioned. But that’s some time down the line. I’m in no hurry to update the living room just yet. Maybe something else that’s better will come out, but I know you guys will be there to review it and let us know.
Sounds like Bose has been de throwned by Sonos ?
Which of these soundbars has the best overhead effects? Vizio with DTX-Neural X for overhead effects blows away Samsung and Yamaha. Are the upward firing speakers in these soundbars supposed to be hitting the ceiling and bouncing back to the listening position?? LOL!
Hi, have you tested the Philips Fidelio TAFB1/10? I thought it maybe should have been included in the field test, am curious about it as I may be buying one, cheers
Slik jij uw woorden in op het einde van jou zinnen? Heel vervelend om naar u te luisteren.
Harman/kardon?
jbl
Just ordered Samsung s95d 65” and samsung hw q995d soundbar set, both on discount ! Old soundbar suits now my PC
Wish, I understood how sound was produced to my new Sonos Kit.
So during Prime Day, I purchased Sonos Arc Ultra and 2 x Era 100, about to purchase the Sub 4.
But all kit is somewhat useless till I buy a TV with Dolby Atmos.
My current TV is 10 yrs old therefore basic stereo, pointless purchase of all the latest Sonos Kit. Any thoughts?
Isn’t JBL 1300/1300x should have been included in the list, please indicate your views on JBL bar, thanks 🙏 👍 what are its shortcomings
Samsung Q990D or JBL 1300 which should i get
How much Sonos is paying you lol pathethic
It’s interesting that of the ‘big’ three high end tv makers LG are the ones missing from your list ! Is this why they offer big discounts on their sound bars when bought with one of their tv’s !?
Y JBL ?
That I have a Sony set, I chose Sony to work with each other Theatre Bar 8 and also the size is appropriate. Above all, it can play a big role in having all formats played
Sonos Arc Ultra or Bose Smart Ultra? What’s important to me is strong bass without a subwoofer, clear dialogue, watching movies of all genres, and listening to music (rock, country).
The ERA 300s are very expensive. I have a pair of Sonos SL speakers. Would they work as rear speakers ?
I had the JBL 9.1 – Bass was amazing, trying to hear people talking during movies was crap. Sub went out and they discontinued that model. so went with the Sennheiser AMBEO plus and loved the audio, however the 8 inch sub was good, tell it started to bottom out, little sub couldn’t handle large bass. Any suggestions, want the Sennheiser AMBEO plus audio with JBL 10 inch sub bass lol, thanks.
I had a Sonos Arc & had nothing but grief from rhe Sonos app.
Never again.
Is the b&o sound stage a good purchase for less than £1000
Done very well and you ended up selling the Sonos Arc Ultra for many reasons you covered in the video… Appreciate the level of detail and that side note on sonos full vs samsung set up.
SONY make total junk fact …
How important is HDMI pass through? I didn’t hear you mention that any had it.
All these are weak I’ve had them all and settled with the Nakamichi dragon with 2 12 inch subs this system shakes pictures off the walls.. go big or go home
Why is Sonos not on your list?
I have Sonos Arc and Gen 3 with Era 300s as rear. Should i upgrade the Arc & Gen 3? Im completely sold on Sonos
Dolby Atmos Soundbar hmmm, so this one sound bar and sub gives me 5 to 10 different speaker locations???? BS! More buzz words and false advertising!
Ciao complimenti, è possibile ascoltare la radio analogica tramite questa sound bar ? Ed eventualmente devo ogni volta connettermi alla sound bar ? Vorrei evitare di prendere il telefono ogni volta per ascoltare la musica 😊, grazie mille 🙏
Im not buying anything from a dog eating country.
Need a mid tier soundbar video
For flagships with limited HDMI ports and no 4k passthrough… there’s no excuse!
Great comparison! I’m currently planning a home theater setup on a pretty tight $400 budget, so some of the options mentioned are a bit out of reach. I’ve been using the Ultimea D60 in my living room, and honestly, it’s been great. For anyone with a similar budget, it’s a solid pick—really good sound quality and excellent value for the price. Still exploring options for the theater room, but Ultimea is definitely high on my list.
Samsung: and the super dupa future self destroying software…. 🙂
Youre missing jbl 1300x, and B&O beosoundstage.
Devialet is a random choice. No one cares about that bar lmao. Replace the devialet with the ones I mentioned above.
I got the Samsung Q900D for $600 a couple weeks ago! I’m very happy with it. I think one of the main differences will come if you have a compatible Samsung TV like I do with my 85" QN990D. QSymphony makes more of a difference than I thought it would.
What bar do I go for if I want Dolby atmos and one that supports dts ect
