00:00:14,280 looked at Sonos equipment before in the past he's had a look at the arc I think 4 00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:18,840 I had a look at the beam uh but today I get to fondle the new era 300. can

I think we're gonna look at 7 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,320 the 300s this one's got a nice gouge in 8 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:35,820 it got these cool little locking things on the side you just kind of pop them 9 00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:39,660 open and then the top just slides that's nice got our speaker here in a nice 10 00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:45,840 little wrap pull that oh my God it's heavy 11 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,879 oh it's not just like crappy fabric 12 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:52,820 covering it's like this it's got a hem on it that's kind of amazing and they're 13 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,820 both white 14 00:00:53,539 --> 00:01:00,420 great this is off to a great start looks like they have matching power cables 15 00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:05,400 there we have a let's get started menu it's nice nice printed heavy cardboard 16 00:01:03,059 --> 00:01:10,260 so we'll leave that to reference in a bit cord is yeah rubbery kind of 17 00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:14,820 plasticky a little memory which is great this is pretty much the whole the whole 18 00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:20,220 thing metal front which is nice metal Grille kind of a soft touch plastic it's 19 00:01:17,580 --> 00:01:24,780 matte no piano black thank God nice big surface on the back slight indent there 20 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:29,640 which is kind of tasteful it's very pretty thing I would say feet are 21 00:01:28,259 --> 00:01:34,200 rubberized which is kind of nice non-slip this mounting holes on the 22 00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:37,500 bottom for the wall mounts that are an optional extra there's also a floor 23 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,100 stand as well we'll talk about that a bit later controls are up here on the 24 00:01:39,180 --> 00:01:45,840 top there's a voice assistant button and it looks like the little slider thing 25 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:49,200 and playback controls too and new for 26 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,640 Sonos apparently is Bluetooth yay I 27 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:56,220 don't know apparently this has always been a thing and I haven't really included that before we have a silence 28 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,180 mute switch here on the back for your voice assistant and then there's a 29 00:01:57,899 --> 00:02:04,439 little USBC cable thing there which we'll also talk about a bit later okay 30 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:08,220 so that's the 300 the big one we have a nice choice here between white and or 31 00:02:05,939 --> 00:02:12,420 white thanks uh thanks again same sort of thing comes in this nice little sock 32 00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:16,379 we've got similar markings on the back we have our Bluetooth button this one's 33 00:02:13,980 --> 00:02:22,080 vertical which is kind of cool and the silence and the USB port and then on the 34 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:27,480 bottom we have our power input which goes in there like yeah and uh the same 35 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,780 sort of hole for your wall mounts or stance they come with different stands 36 00:02:29,459 --> 00:02:38,099 you have to buy different stands if you want these in different stands if you want this one this one's power cord is 37 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:41,879 on the back though which goes like there which is a bit of a weird Choice 38 00:02:40,140 --> 00:02:45,780 honestly you know if I'm going to mount this against a wall as it's supposed to 39 00:02:44,099 --> 00:02:50,640 be a surround speaker then it's going to be here why not put it in the bottom and 40 00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:54,660 then have it route at the back like this I have some thoughts on that later Belle 41 00:02:53,160 --> 00:03:01,500 said he really struggled to get this one out and oh my God it is right 42 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:04,260 this is awful I'm a weak little man 43 00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:09,599 there's not enough there's enough room to like get a proper grip on it Jesus 44 00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:13,920 okay there we go my hands are broken now same sort of solid construction these 45 00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:18,239 feel really really really solid no compressibility anywhere nice and metal 46 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:22,500 everywhere there's already some like brown or 47 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:26,640 scuffing or something I have got Dirty Heads I just washed my hands yeah I wash 48 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:31,260 my hands first time this month General size of these I think for the 100 the 49 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,860 size is kind of nice just to kind of maybe have on a shelf or like behind you 50 00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:39,060 somewhere should be nice and easy to hide away the weight is really quite 51 00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:43,920 nice and Hefty I'm not entirely sure if that's added in as metal or if it's like 52 00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:47,519 just actually constructed maybe with a metal core or something like that 53 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,879 sometimes companies will add weight to their products to make them feel more 54 00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:55,260 premium I'm not entirely sure that's the case here the power cables do not want 55 00:03:53,099 --> 00:03:59,159 to come out there we go this one same sort of thing it's rather Hefty maybe 56 00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:04,799 about what five ten pounds something like that the construction of this also 57 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,080 feels really good I can't like Bend this 58 00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:10,980 front grill in at all Sona says that there's some specialized wave guides in 59 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:15,360 the front which have like little spiky things I really wanted to like rip this 60 00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:19,260 off and and demo those but I don't think that's going to happen some small panel 61 00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:22,919 Gap issues right here at the bottom so yeah I mean it's got a nice fit and 62 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:26,639 finish I think that little panel Gap thing is a little bit problematic I 63 00:04:25,020 --> 00:04:31,440 would expect better for how much this costs yeah now I'm seeing it everywhere 64 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:35,580 and the speaker's ruined for me uh the shape of its uh shape of it's pretty 65 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:40,860 nice a little bit fatter at the back than the front like everybody should be 66 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:44,759 uh yeah I think I could see this on a bookshelf or even maybe mount it up at 67 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:49,020 the top of the ceiling or on their stands that they do behind I don't think 68 00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:52,560 it would be too in your face the white is probably a little bit more pronounced 69 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:56,160 than the black but I guess it depends on your interior design some more fun 70 00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:01,680 colors would have been nice too I probably would have bought these if they were like bright yellow they might be 71 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,680 great for bookshelf speakers and accent or something like that you could always 72 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:08,340 spray bomb them I guess the feet seem good yeah they're really rubbery they're 73 00:05:06,660 --> 00:05:11,699 like gripping really well into the table it's got a lot of weight on just a 74 00:05:10,020 --> 00:05:16,620 little tiny footprint so maybe not a table speaker I 75 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,820 don't know if it's more rigid than this one the 100s are supported completely on 76 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:26,580 the bottom so they don't and I'll move it all there 77 00:05:22,620 --> 00:05:28,199 they're good well let's see how these 78 00:05:26,580 --> 00:05:31,680 sound we've got to get them hooked up to the app but before we have to get you 79 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:35,120 hooked up to our sponsor alpaca keyboards how's that for a Segway 80 00:05:36,020 --> 00:05:40,680 stop it editor no thanks to a pack of 81 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:45,180 keyboards for sponsoring today's video alpaca keyboard's newest keyboard the 82 00:05:43,139 --> 00:05:49,979 white fox Eclipse features an iconic design based on the original white fox 83 00:05:46,979 --> 00:05:51,479 that helped popularize the 65 layout it 84 00:05:49,979 --> 00:05:57,240 has a combination of the most desirable features gasket mounting programmability 85 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,820 Bluetooth RGB and Cherry profile PBT 86 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:03,419 keycaps the white fox

the app no power button I don't think oh there is a light on the front that's 93 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:31,080 nice it's nice and subtle might be waiting for pairing it'll be nice if it 94 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,680 like bonked or something I need to give it 95 00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:37,620 location permissions storage I don't know what's going on anymore and we'll 96 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:42,539 give it microphone we'll just give it everything here's my social insurance 97 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:45,479 number it's getting it ready it's going 98 00:06:42,539 --> 00:06:50,639 to play a chime all right connecting to the Wi-Fi I like 99 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:55,139 that they can support 5G so many iot devices these days only sport 2.4 uh 100 00:06:53,460 --> 00:06:59,880 there's an update available of course because there has to be and we're 101 00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:03,780 getting advertisements for Dolby Atmos which we'll definitely be talking about 102 00:07:01,979 --> 00:07:10,380 a bit later I'm trying to figure out exactly what these 103 00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:13,199 do because Sonos won't tell us can I add 104 00:07:10,380 --> 00:07:19,199 alarms we can group speakers we can say favorites we can personalize it and 105 00:07:16,139 --> 00:07:21,240 enable automatic updates neat see you in 106 00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:25,020 20 minutes when this is done so it looks like we can set up speaker groups and 107 00:07:23,220 --> 00:07:30,060 things like that on a room basis so if you have these in your bedroom or your living room or your kitchen then they 108 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:33,960 would all be kind of different zones we can have a subwoofer which is also a 109 00:07:32,819 --> 00:07:41,639 product they offer I believe you can have up to two if they're the same and we can also add a stereo pair each pair 110 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:46,259 of speakers have to be the same model you can't like Cross Match different 111 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:51,180 models together we have some EQ settings bass treble and a loudness toggle which 112 00:07:49,020 --> 00:07:55,740 is on by default true play which I believe is some sort of technology to 113 00:07:52,919 --> 00:08:01,979 make it more acoustic that's kind of their version of of room tuning so let's 114 00:08:00,060 --> 00:08:04,639 let's give that a go it's going to be loud I hope 115 00:08:06,060 --> 00:08:09,060 foreign 116 00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:18,960 that was nice uh just from the sound of that it just seems like it's going to be 117 00:08:16,259 --> 00:08:23,460 a nice performative speaker uh it seems to have six drivers or something like 118 00:08:21,060 --> 00:08:28,319 that two woofers in the side two tweeters uh firing up in this direction 119 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:33,839 another Tweeter that has a horn that kind of fires up and then another one in 120 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:36,779 the front so it's supposed to do Dolby Atmos and I think it's supposed to be 121 00:08:35,459 --> 00:08:41,459 three Channel um I'm not entirely sure if it's two 122 00:08:38,459 --> 00:08:44,219 channel with some psycho acoustic tuning 123 00:08:41,459 --> 00:08:47,820 to like use the up firing thing Sonos doesn't seem to actually list how many 124 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:52,860 channels these are they kind of avoid that in their material which is a little 125 00:08:49,380 --> 00:08:55,320 bit strange we also have a height audio 126 00:08:52,860 --> 00:09:02,160 setting which kind of gives me the hope that the up firing is its own dedicated 127 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,720 Channel it also has a line in so no aux 128 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:10,220 cord on this one they've gone the iPhone root you need to buy a dongle if you 129 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:12,600 want to have line it you can buy a 20 130 00:09:10,220 --> 00:09:16,920 USBC to three and a half millimeter Jack which plugs in right there or for the 131 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:21,120 low low price of forty dollars you can buy a combo Jack that has an Ethernet 132 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:27,360 port and a three and a half millimeter Jack which is strange it's not like 133 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:29,279 there's any room left to have that on 134 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:33,300 the back here I think we'll we'll get some crab Rave in this now 135 00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:38,820 foreign right now it really is just coming out 136 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,760 of the sides I guess it's maybe why they're angled forward a little bit so 137 00:09:40,620 --> 00:09:45,660 that's kind of that's kind of interesting 138 00:09:45,660 --> 00:09:52,519 it's half volume so let's turn it up let's see just destroy our brains 139 00:09:52,580 --> 00:09:58,080 okay I can't that's extremely loud uh 140 00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:04,260 that is like hearing damagingly loud that's awesome no Distortion whatsoever 141 00:10:01,019 --> 00:10:05,600 that's a very very good result uh I'm 142 00:10:04,260 --> 00:10:09,899 I'm quite impressed with that actually there's no Sub in it and it's really 143 00:10:07,860 --> 00:10:13,080 quite Bassy as well which is nice I think if you were having this in a home 144 00:10:11,459 --> 00:10:17,399 theater setup I would pair it with a sub but this is a really good performance uh 145 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:21,370 already which is good to see let's listen to it like I'm actually listening 146 00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:27,000 to a speaker so I'm going to sit here 147 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,480 that sounds bad because it's going that 148 00:10:30,660 --> 00:10:39,120 way it's not playing music at me which is kind of interesting I'm gonna go over 149 00:10:36,839 --> 00:10:42,060 there and listen to it and see if it's better because I'm sitting in front of 150 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:47,240 it and I think it's supposed to be like a room speaker so goodbye 151 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,240 foreign 152 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:58,260 okay what I thought was gonna happen happened and it sounds really good sort 153 00:10:56,100 --> 00:11:02,160 of around the entire room uh almost exactly the same as if I was sitting 154 00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:06,360 next to it so this is definitely designed as kind of a throw around the 155 00:11:03,959 --> 00:11:11,720 room speaker sitting here is kind of not great but everywhere else is really 156 00:11:08,940 --> 00:11:16,500 quite nice let's try some Dolby Atmos some music okay so I'm gonna play this 157 00:11:14,339 --> 00:11:20,040 song which is on Apple music in a spatial audio playlist which is the 158 00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:24,360 Dolby Atmos something or other I hope we have that still enabled here unfortunately we'll have to dub over 159 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:28,980 this with something like Smooth Jazz but uh at least I'll be able to see if the 160 00:11:27,060 --> 00:11:33,450 top firing Tweeter and the front firing Tweeter actually tweet 161 00:11:35,459 --> 00:11:43,380 I don't know if this is even right this doesn't sound like spatial music 162 00:11:40,860 --> 00:11:46,170 okay yeah this says Dolby Atmos down here and those speakers are definitely 163 00:11:44,820 --> 00:11:49,760 on right now 164 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:55,079 uh yeah sounds really good now uh that 165 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,899 all the speakers are working I don't know why you can't just turn the other 166 00:11:56,220 --> 00:12:01,380 two on when you're playing stereo music because it's one speaker so it's not 167 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,399 going to get the stereo separation just playing all the speakers I mean I'm 168 00:12:03,899 --> 00:12:09,899 sitting next to it and it's supposed to be farther away maybe a little Hollow in 169 00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:15,420 the mids because the woofers are trying to like compensate with a hell of a lot 170 00:12:11,459 --> 00:12:17,640 of bass uh but yeah it was good enough I 171 00:12:15,420 --> 00:12:22,620 think for a tiny little speaker let's get a 100 going and compare the two 172 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:27,560 the man and I'm here to say you should buy an error 300 and use my promo code 173 00:12:24,540 --> 00:12:29,459 subscription today 174 00:12:29,459 --> 00:12:35,940 foreign foreign 175 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,820 this is also obscenely loud a little bit of distortion from the Tweeter I think a 176 00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:43,440 little bit of crackling but no one in their goddamn right mind would listen to music that loud there's also some nice 177 00:12:42,060 --> 00:12:47,339 air movement from the woofers on the side this one's way more directional 178 00:12:45,180 --> 00:12:50,820 kind of more facing this way the base kind of propagates more from the side 179 00:12:48,899 --> 00:12:54,000 which would be good send it out into the room and have it bounce around where you 180 00:12:52,620 --> 00:12:59,880 want the tweeters a bit more directional than maybe the 300 provides unless you 181 00:12:57,180 --> 00:13:03,660 really want to go crazy with the atmos system you could probably get away with 182 00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:06,959 this instead this one obviously doesn't support Dolby because there's touch 183 00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:10,440 controls at the top where there should be a speaker so yeah it does have these 184 00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:13,620 angled tweeters and one woofers there's three speakers so this will be just a 185 00:13:11,820 --> 00:13:18,180 two channel where this one is claiming possibly a four Channel maybe probably 186 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,959 just a three if I'm being honest let's do a stereo pair 187 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,240 that was actually amazing 188 00:13:28,139 --> 00:13:34,560 okay so what it's done when I've made a stereo pair which is kind of interesting 189 00:13:32,820 --> 00:13:37,860 actually it's disabled these up firing tweeters and it's just playing out of 190 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:43,019 the front ones now so now they're acting much more like directional speakers which is kind of clever I would like 191 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:46,740 control over that in the app but removing that control simplifies it for 192 00:13:44,940 --> 00:13:49,740 the end user I think let's actually Point them towards me like they're 193 00:13:48,180 --> 00:13:52,820 supposed to be because I'm just getting all Bass from the sides 194 00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:59,220 yeah that's great um I mean having the mid drivers out the 195 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:03,000 side is kind of I guess a good idea sometimes depending they seem to be a 196 00:14:01,380 --> 00:14:08,880 little bit lower down in the frequency range than like a traditional woofer it 197 00:14:06,660 --> 00:14:14,700 seems to reproduce the low frequencies better than some of maybe the high mids 198 00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:16,079 but it's not to its massive detriment I 199 00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:19,920 mean I'm being very particular here that's uh certainly of an acceptable 200 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:25,339 sound quality which is which is really good to see blinding lights in Dolby 201 00:14:22,860 --> 00:14:31,940 Atmos Atmos is really strong there that is 202 00:14:28,860 --> 00:14:31,940 actually amazing 203 00:14:32,060 --> 00:14:39,240 uh that's that's a that's great that's really good um I think that's like worth 204 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:43,320 the price of admission right there the atmos is where these really do shine uh 205 00:14:41,699 --> 00:14:47,760 yeah I don't I don't know how I feel about that uh I don't like praising 206 00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:51,779 things for what kind of maybe feel like gilinix or maybe I'm old now but that 207 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:56,579 really does improve it I wonder if that's because the speakers are more 208 00:14:54,600 --> 00:15:02,160 tuned for Atmos then maybe they are like normal playback I think maybe if we just 209 00:14:58,860 --> 00:15:04,920 had the stereo music with these extra 210 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:09,540 tweeters enabled then it would sound as good I don't know if our ceiling height 211 00:15:07,860 --> 00:15:14,459 or even the layout here really makes the atmos shine but the music sounds better 212 00:15:11,459 --> 00:15:16,560 sounds more spacious probably because we 213 00:15:14,459 --> 00:15:22,499 have some extra drivers in play then we don't with stereo audio 214 00:15:24,380 --> 00:15:31,980 there's something I didn't mention is I like the default EQ on the 300s which I 215 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:35,880 threw on the ground these 100s maybe a little bit of a base heavy probably 216 00:15:33,420 --> 00:15:39,120 maybe room uh but from sitting here on the desk negative four is a little bit 217 00:15:37,620 --> 00:15:42,019 more balanced they're kind of a bit overpowering and the mids are kind of 218 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:47,880 squashed so the 300s have a bit more of an even 219 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,560 sound than the 100s here but these are 220 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:55,560 still quite good I think maybe I'm just spoiled from those 300s I would much 221 00:15:51,839 --> 00:15:58,199 rather have a pair of these than one of 222 00:15:55,560 --> 00:16:06,980 those definitely these are about half the cost of a 300. so these era 100s are 223 00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:11,459 250 bucks each and so that means they're 224 00:16:06,980 --> 00:16:14,459 500 dollars for two and the 300 is 450 225 00:16:11,459 --> 00:16:15,779 bucks so if you buy a pair of these you 226 00:16:14,459 --> 00:16:20,100 get a bit of a discount from them and you buy them individually and the stands 227 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:22,980 for the 300s are about 280 bucks so you can have a pair of stamps ends or like 228 00:16:21,899 --> 00:16:27,779 maybe one of these for your bedroom right it's kind of interesting and then 229 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:32,279 you know a forty dollar dongle to put on the back here and if we look at their 230 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:37,019 exploded view like I think there's a whole bunch of space in the bottom here 231 00:16:34,139 --> 00:16:41,339 so if I want to put on a shelf I can put it like that and if I want to put it on 232 00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:46,680 a stand I can route the cable into the stand on the 100s but I don't know giant 233 00:16:44,940 --> 00:16:50,160 Cable in the back like it just looks gross let me be able to hide it 234 00:16:48,660 --> 00:16:53,639 underneath if I want to put it on a shelf or if I'm going to wall mount it 235 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:57,600 like I can't have it flush with the wall 236 00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:02,040 there's no reflex at the back it's it's just a little bit frustrating I think in 237 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,760 that same sort of vein I don't understand why I can only pair two of 238 00:17:04,020 --> 00:17:10,319 these so in each room you're only allowed to have one stereo pair which 239 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:15,299 means that if I wanted to say listen to quadraphonic audio with four of these 240 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:21,000 and like really experience uh Dolby Atmos music I can only get two speakers 241 00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:24,959 it's like they don't want my money because we have four here it would be 242 00:17:23,100 --> 00:17:28,439 really nice to maybe have two of these guys at the front and two of these 243 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:33,960 behind me is maybe some side fills maybe I've got a big room but because it's all 244 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:39,299 in one room I can only have one stereo pair Sonos can support something like 32 245 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:43,700 active devices simultaneously so why can't I buy a whole bunch of these and 246 00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:48,240 have a what was it 27.1.10 system with 10 up firing 247 00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:52,440 speakers and you know sound everywhere like Dolby Atmos is supposed to be able 248 00:17:50,460 --> 00:17:57,720 to function as something clearly missing from the Sonos document at least what I 249 00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:02,820 could find is a clear indication of how many channels each of these guys have 250 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,799 apparently Sonos can support 5.1.2 but 251 00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:08,100 that's kind of from what I've found on the internet and not exactly from their 252 00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:12,059 documentation I shouldn't have to go digging through Community forms and 253 00:18:10,140 --> 00:18:16,260 other posts and news articles to figure out what I'm actually about to buy if 254 00:18:13,860 --> 00:18:22,260 anybody knows please let me know this is kind of beyond my ability to test here 255 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:24,660 Labs where are you at honestly uh for 256 00:18:22,260 --> 00:18:28,919 the price and performance ratio these sound really good at least the 300s out 257 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:34,679 of the box no tuning nothing like that you know we do the room thing whatever 258 00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:36,179 sounds great for 480 each I think I 259 00:18:34,679 --> 00:18:41,340 would definitely recommend getting a pair which is even more money as a 260 00:18:39,419 --> 00:18:46,760 singular speaker listening to non-atmos audio which is 261 00:18:43,980 --> 00:18:51,360 going to limit you to a lot of music it doesn't I think you can do better 262 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:57,299 with a cheaper speaker if you're getting one two spatial audio even one with 263 00:18:54,299 --> 00:18:59,760 spatial audio quite incredible 264 00:18:57,299 --> 00:19:02,820 um two is really where your money is how great the system is if they would 265 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:07,320 implement it a little bit differently it's like it's right there you just have 266 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,980 speakers as individuals and let people do what they want with them and have as 267 00:19:09,299 --> 00:19:15,419 many as they want like do you not want our money do you not want me to go out 268 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:19,260 and buy 10 of these and put them all around my house because I want to this 269 00:19:16,919 --> 00:19:25,020 sounded [ __ ] good and you won't let me because your ecosystem doesn't function 270 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:30,600 like it should it's sad it's short-sighted it's pathetic 271 00:19:27,380 --> 00:19:33,380 my disappointment is immeasurable and my 272 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,380 day is ruined
