About Philips B8967 5.1.2 Channel True Surround Soundbar
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
83% liked the sound quality, yet 17% expressed dissatisfaction
Sound effect is impressive and it is an immersive sound experience while sitting inside the sound dome.
Having physical speakers producing the sound is incomparable to soundbars. The range of sound, clarity, depth, bass response, and detail offered by physical speakers is exceptional whether I'm watching movies or listening to music.
The sound quality of the soundbar out of the box didn't meet my expectations. Ideally, symmetrical walls and placing the soundbar at an ideal height are necessary for optimal performance.

71% were impressed with the design, nevertheless, 29% weren't
The speakers have a nice yet subtle dark metallic finish.
I encountered difficulty mounting the soundbar under my television due to its design. As a result, the soundbar sits on a low shelf, which I believe is not ideal or optimal for achieving convincing surround sound.
69% highlighted the subwoofer performance
I appreciate the wireless connectivity of the rear speakers and subwoofer to the sound-bar via Bluetooth, eliminating the need for wires and cables.
The wireless sub delivers powerful bass.
The connection is stable.
75% found it easy to connect with smart assistants
The soundbar is compatible with Google Assistant.
71% commented on the connectivity range
I like that this Philips sound bar can connect to any device with Bluetooth connectivity, indicating a positive experience with the connectivity range.
I tested Bluetooth connectivity, HDMI, and spdif and found that all of them performed very well.
I connect the surround speakers and subwoofer via internal Bluetooth and it works well.
