The media could not be loaded. Short reviewJust buy it, you will not be disappointed! Design, ease of use and sound quality are all exemplary. This is simple plug and play, really easy to setup and use. It works straight out of the box, delivering superb sound regardless of the content you are watching or listening to. In a world where there are too many options and information overload, this soundbar just delivers and punches well above its price bracket. If you are not sure, I would say go for it. You will not be disappointed! Well done Majority.Long reviewI have been long overdue an upgrade and after hearing Dolby Atmos in store and in the cinema, I really wanted to get it home. Once you've heard the object based audio from Dolby Atmos, you really feel like you're missing something.When this soundbar came up on Amazon it looked like a steal. Not many Dolby Atmos enabled soundbars for this sort of money especially considering a separate subwoofer is included. I've had experience of two Internet radios from Majority, and they were absolutely amazing, so this was no brainer for me.DesignThe design is really impressive for the price. I wasn't expecting such a quality finish when I got it out of the box. The blend of metal, gloss plastic and matt plastic makes you feel like Majority put some real effort into the design. Gloss plastic attracts fingerprints and masses of dust, but it also looks beautiful. This gloss has been incorporated so nicely into the design, framing/higlighting the edges and ends. It looks superb, yet they've minimised the use of it to all the right places. I wouldn't call this a slender soundbar, at 81mm tall, but the blend of materials used means it looks perfectly proportioned. Trust me, you're going to want to show this thing off.The subwoofer is surprisingly light and compact. You can make out the 6.5cm woofer behind the fabric and there is a glossy port at the front. Design wise, it is more simple than the soundbar, perhaps a little bland. However, most people will have it tucked away anyway, so this isn't a big deal.ConnectionsThe soundbar has AC power input, 2x HDMI in, 1x ARC, 1X Optical, 1x AUX and 1x USB. It also has Bluetooth connectivity. I think that should have everyone covered.The sub has a hardwired power cable, wps button and a USB socket (for updates). Majority seem to be thinking long term support here... Don't think I've seen a sub that can be updated before!Items IncludedSoundbar, subwoofer, remote, power cable, RCA cable, 2x wall mount brackets, screws and wall anchors. All accessories are quality. An RCA aka phono cable is included, which is a nice touch. The remote is nicely balanced and ergonomic. Buttons are super clicky, a real joy to use.Setup/UseabilityThis was super easy. Plugged the soundbar into the mains. Connected the optical cable. Plugged the subwoofer into the mains. Turned on the soundbar, it came to life and automatically connected to the subwoofer. Brilliant! No messing about to connect the sub. Even the TV and Sky remote could control the volume out of the box; no codes to mess about with here! This is plug and play baby!!Initial UseI was a little underwhelmed by the initial performance. Don't get me wrong, it was great quality, but it felt flat. Perfect for music, but it just didn't have the energy required for TV watching. I adjusted the bass and treble settings, but it just sounded boxed in and nasally :(I decided to run the soundbar in. I left it playing music at a fairly loud level for a solid 8 hours.Sound was definetely better but still not quite there.I gave in and decided to go online and look at the instruction manual. This was so easy by the way and the manual is well written, clear and concise! Aparently Dolby Atmos can only be experienced over the HDMI interface. I plugged in the Sky 1TB box and enabled the settings on the Sky box.My god was I blown away. A complete transformation. AND this was without Dolby Atmos content!!That boxed in and nasally output completely disappeared. The sound was bright, open and gave a real sense of space. Let's get into the technical details:Sound QualityMajority have spent some real time on tuning the preset EQs. There are four in total; Music, News, Movies and 3D. Thankfully the overkill rock, pop, dance, hip/hop EQs doesn't exist here and all the better for it (god that was 90's!). Each one is tuned perfectly to what you are viewing, only a single press of the button is required. You can also tweak bass and treble to your liking directly on the remote. Typical Majority, clear and straightforward.The surround 3D preset is very effective at creating realistic surround effects when watching TV or movies. Even if you aren't watching Dolby atmos content, this setting is superb at tricking your senses into thinking there are surround speakers around the room. I literally sat there, glued to the TV wanting to try more and more content.Switching to Dolby Atmos content, I noticed the soundbar recognised this when Dolby Atmos was scrolling on the soundbar display. The clarity and realism of sounds is bonkers, I felt like the sounds were surrounding me. Its like from going Standard Definition TV to 4K for your ears.Watching Kobra Kai, you can feel the punches/kicks during a flight scene with subwoofer delivering some very low frequencies with real gusto. Yet the system can also handle the highs from quiet scenes with clarity I have not experienced at home. Something like a door handle being opened or sausages sizzling on a BBQ sound just like the real thing.This soundbar isn't a one trick pony either. It handles music with serious aplomb. I listen to all types of genres, and everything sounded brilliant. From the fast beats of dance music, to slow deep reggae, to the delicate and energetic nature of classical music, everything was delivered perfectly.I recommend the music EQ here because it is likely how the music artist intended it to sound; balanced.I tried the 3D setting for music and this was really fun. Emulating surround sound, it felt like I was there listening to the music live. Sound comes from all directions. Vocals felt like they were coming from the front and instruments came from all around, even above. You can almost make each individual instrument. An absolute aural orgasm.Listening to some classical music (Spring 1), you can really appreciate the fantastic separation from each of the channels on this soundbar. You can hear left and right channels working independantly, and the two upward firing channels providing a sense of space that you can not imagine.The 3D EQ starts to show its limits at high volume settings 20+, specifically with music with vocals. You begin to hear some processing in the vocals. However, keep the volume under 20 and it is fine.Oh, let's not forget about the subwoofer.....this is ridiculously powerful. A wolf in sheep's clothing. It provides that bum shaking rumble when watching films. You can really feel it resonate through your backside and into your chest.If powerful bass isn't your thing, levels can easily be adjusted. A tip.. The news mode reduces the bass output considerably, so this might be useful for late night watching. If you want super stealth mode, you can even turn off the wolf at the mains, the soundbar continues to deliver quality audio.You can really push the volume up to uncomfortable levels, however the soundbar and sub both stay composed with no distortion or noticeable clipping. Only past volume level 30 do the soundbar and sub become a little unbalanced in their frequency crossover, but I think listening past this level will be uncomfortable for many!Some poor quality drivers can only deliver quality in a narrow band e.g. sitting directly in front. Thankfully Majority seem to have specified higher quality drivers here. Sound quality stays consistent in a 140deg field in front of the soundbar. Perfect for covering multiple bums in various seats.Unfortunately nothing can be perfect and this leads me onto some negatives.The LCD display behind the grill can't be turned off. It does dim down to a perfectly acceptable level, but would be nice to have the option to turn it off. It also remains on in standby displaying " - - ". Maybe a future update might sort this?The height of the soundbar is 81mm. If your TV is low lying (Sony and LG!) and sat on a bench, you may find it obscures the view slightly if placed in front of the TV. This was the case for me, but I am due to wall mount my TV, so this won't be an issue.The subwoofer can struggle a little with its tightness and control when listening to music with a fast succession of beats at high volume levels of 25+. However, I don't think many will even notice this, and considering that the subwoofer is tuned perfectly for TV/Film content, this would be asking for too much.SummaryI have used this soundbar daily for the last 18 days (since the 2nd Jan 2022) and I absolutely love it.I have put it through it paces both with visual content and also hours earth shattering music; it keeps on delivering. I switched back to the old sound bar as a comparison, and there is none. The old £500 soundbar has been given away. Yes there are a few niggles, but this is nit picking in what I think is otherwise a well rounded and phenomenal audio product. You will not be dissapointed. Majority should be proud of what they've accomplished here, especially at this price point. I would snap one up before Majority realise they've got the price wrong on this one. Thumbs up! 5/5!

I bought this sound system to compliment my Sky Glass which although having Dolby Atmos speakers and a moderate amount of base, just didn't output sound I was comfortable with unless at higher volume levels. as someone with moderate to severe hearing loss, full sound and clarity are important to me, so when I saw the price and from a trusted brand I've had dealings with before, I knew this would be a winning combination for me. I'm very pleased with my bar, not only was it easy to set up out the box, but my Sky Glass identified and started working with it immediately without issue and listening to the much improved room filling sound was nothing short of incredible. The up-firing speakers projected the Dolby Atmos movie I was watching floorlessly and the improved base from the sub was powerful without being overpowering. The handy remote lets you customise base and treble to your liking, and the dedicated pre-set buttons for music, movie and news/dialog boost and 3d make an impactful difference to the sound you get. A minor niggle I've had with other bar products is that the remotes for these often used circular flat batteries, so I was pleased to find standard AAA batteries of which I have an ample supply were all I needed and are my personal preference. The bar itself is quite big, both in its length and girth. so if mounting on a tabletop stand make sure you have plenty of space around your TV for good airflow, similarly the sub is best placed in the corner of the room where the mesh covered woofer is on the right hand side. If I were going to find a niggle with this bar, it would be the length of time it takes to power on. This is particularly noticeable when using modes other than TV ARC, it takes at least 5 seconds to power on and about 15 to connect to my phone from a powered off state. Once connected via Bluetooth, sound is excellent and the connection stable. There are other HDMI ports on this bar for connecting external devices, however I have not experimented with these so far and there is also digital optical and line in for those needing them. All in all, thoroughly impressed, good value for money, another winner from Majority.
