Antoine
Superb soundbar, truly high-quality materials, really great sound rendering whether in hi-fi or home cinema. Of course, adding a subwoofer is an undeniable plus, as well as 2 Surround speakers which add nice immersion.
It takes some time to adjust the settings on the Bluos app, but once you get the hang of it, it's great. I haven't explored everything yet. The sound is clear, clean, limpid, with impeccable dialogue.

Superbe barre de son, matériaux vraiment de très bonne qualité, rendu sonore vraiment top que ce soit en hifi comme en HC, bien sûr un caisson en sup rajoute un plus indéniable ainsi que 2 Surround qui ajoute une belle immersion.
Il faut un temps d'adaptation pour les paramètres sur l'appli Bluos mais une fois géré c'est top, je n'ai pas encore tout exploré. Le son est clair propre limpide, dialogue impeccable.

Très bon son pour les films et la musique. Pas déçu de cet achat. Pour le moment, pas besoin de caisson de basse.

Super element, setup not simple because there is little info on its installation via the Bluesound site, but with some thought you can figure it out.
Pros: Excellent sound bar.
