Great video, I was also impressed with the Vizio 3621 the bass and clarity blew me away. My this is that I can’t decide if I like the Bose Sound touch 300 or the Yamaha YAS 706 r YSP 5600 , or the Vizio, I’m willing to spend up to 2000. Dollars.. Thanks for the video..
Thanks for the video. Am looking into the Vizio bar with the integrated subwoofer to complement a 55″ bedroom TV. Does $100 at Walmart for that seem cheap to you considering they are MSRP at $140? Considering swooping one up. Would you recommend? You seem to be one of the first people to get their hands on it and do a review, so props on being timely. Subscribed! 🙂
Great video! Love the BMW poster in the back
One suggestion – a demo of each.
Great vid. I think one thing you didn’t mention is that sound bars are perfect for people in apartments. I live in Chicago and would love a full surround setup, but I’m not going to put my neighbors thru that. Subwoofers are extremely annoying in apartment buildings. Having “some” bass from the SB362An-F6 is just enough for watching TV. And then I have my Sennheiser RS185 wireless headphone setup when I want to watch movies.
Great video Joe. I consider myself an audiophile, as I love the sound of good quality audio. However, I had a traditional 5.1 surround sound set up with the trailing wires and a big av amp. At the time they were great but they were a pain to configure and they took up too much space. Now, I use a Dolby Atmos sound bar, with a subwoofer. The sound is much better than the surround sound system. I believe in moving with the times when it comes to audio, as long as the audio is good. I’m 59 and I even use a sony soundbar connected to my computer via Bluetooth. The sound is amazing. I feel that the dyed in the wool audiophiles are really missing out by hanging on to the past.
Good stuff sir congrats on the second member to the family.
I am waiting for shenhizer ambeo sound bar
I was about to ask how much bass control they give you….that’s…unimpressive.
