Hoe werk ik deze kabels netjes weg?

Je weet dat die Sonos Beam op deze manier de muziek naar beneden speelt?

From soundbars to Klipsch RP-500M II

So uhh, I’ve recently moved and decided to do something a lil different.

Had a JBL Multibeam bar before that was…alright, kinda boxy sounding.

Then got a Sonos Beam Gen 2, which sounded better, even got the rears and sub mini, and overall it was at the time, really good. There was no atmos at al

TCL C7K QD-Mini-LED Review 🇩🇪🔥

Hey everyone 👋🙋‍♂️

Just wanted to share my experience with the TCL C7K after doing some research here on Reddit and finally pulling the trigger.

The TV was originally priced at 800€, but with a 200€ cashback, I ended up paying 600€ – and for that price, it’s honestly a great deal.

My impressions so

What are your strangest automations?

I’ll tell you my dumbest one. I spent hours and hours trying to get touch support for this tft screen so that a tap would change the track for my kids. Once I succeeded I realized that the sonos beam has touch controls but I had disabled them a year prior because my kids kept fuckin with my jams.

Why do people hate on Soundbars?

The short answer: because perception lags reality during periods of change. Five years ago, if you took any soundbar and compared it to any equally priced AVR setup, I doubt a single soundbar would win the comparison. In fact, only one soundbar - the incredibly expensive Sennheiser Ambeo - would eve

Why on Earth does ATV 4K not have an option for “Dolby Digital + Atmos”, and only offers “Dolby MAT 2.0 Atmos”, which does not work with HDMI ARC??

This is super annoying. Nobody but Apple AFAIK uses this weird obscure version of Atmos, and they aren’t very clear on it, nor was Sonos that Atmos would not work without HDMI eARC. I would imagine the number of HDMI 2.1 tv’s out there is insanely low compared to how many people have HDMI 2.0, even

Home Theater Quote: Is this a fair price?

You’re getting ripped off for the Sonos. The beam is cheap. You should at least be getting a Sonos Arc Ultra. Also they will roast you in this subreddit for asking about a soundbar.

AAC 5.1 but only getting Stereo PCM? (Sonos Beam Gen2/ARC connection)

Hi all,

Here’s my setup -

  • Hisense U8QF
  • Chromecast / Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 (same issue on both)
  • Sonos Beam Gen 2
  • Connected with ARC (not eARC)
  • TV audio set to passthrough
  • Plex audio set to passthrough
  • No plex pass

I also have a setup with an LG CX/Sonos Arc so I don’t want to convert all
