WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.339 Sonos a very tasteful living room sound 00:00:03.179 --> 00:00:10.440 adornment today we've got the new era 300 and 100 line both Linus and I have 00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:14.280 looked at Sonos equipment before in the past he's had a look at the arc I think 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 say 00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:23.939 fondle on ShortCircuit today I get to fondle the era 300s so we have all the 00:00:21.900 --> 00:00:29.760 colors here today we have both white and black uh but I think we're gonna look at 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:31.320 the 300s this one's got a nice gouge in 00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:35.820 it got these cool little locking things on the side you just kind of pop them 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 00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:45.840 little wrap pull that oh my God it's heavy 00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:47.879 oh it's not just like crappy fabric 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 00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.820 both white 00:00:53.539 --> 00:01:00.420 great this is off to a great start looks like they have matching power cables 00:00:58.500 --> 00:01:05.400 there we have a let's get started menu it's nice nice printed heavy cardboard 00:01:03.059 --> 00:01:10.260 so we'll leave that to reference in a bit cord is yeah rubbery kind of 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:14.820 plasticky a little memory which is great this is pretty much the whole the whole 00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:20.220 thing metal front which is nice metal Grille kind of a soft touch plastic it's 00:01:17.580 --> 00:01:24.780 matte no piano black thank God nice big surface on the back slight indent there 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:29.640 which is kind of tasteful it's very pretty thing I would say feet are 00:01:28.259 --> 00:01:34.200 rubberized which is kind of nice non-slip this mounting holes on the 00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:37.500 bottom for the wall mounts that are an optional extra there's also a floor 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 00:01:39.180 --> 00:01:45.840 top there's a voice assistant button and it looks like the little slider thing 00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:49.200 and playback controls too and new for 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:50.640 Sonos apparently is Bluetooth yay I 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 00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:00.180 mute switch here on the back for your voice assistant and then there's a 00:01:57.899 --> 00:02:04.439 little USBC cable thing there which we'll also talk about a bit later okay 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 00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:12.420 white thanks uh thanks again same sort of thing comes in this nice little sock 00:02:10.380 --> 00:02:16.379 we've got similar markings on the back we have our Bluetooth button this one's 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 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:27.480 bottom we have our power input which goes in there like yeah and uh the same 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.780 sort of hole for your wall mounts or stance they come with different stands 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 00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:41.879 on the back though which goes like there which is a bit of a weird Choice 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 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 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 00:02:53.160 --> 00:03:01.500 said he really struggled to get this one out and oh my God it is right 00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:04.260 this is awful I'm a weak little man 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 00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:13.920 okay there we go my hands are broken now same sort of solid construction these 00:03:11.640 --> 00:03:18.239 feel really really really solid no compressibility anywhere nice and metal 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:22.500 everywhere there's already some like brown or 00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:26.640 scuffing or something I have got Dirty Heads I just washed my hands yeah I wash 00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:31.260 my hands first time this month General size of these I think for the 100 the 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 00:03:33.300 --> 00:03:39.060 somewhere should be nice and easy to hide away the weight is really quite 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 00:03:41.700 --> 00:03:47.519 just actually constructed maybe with a metal core or something like that 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:50.879 sometimes companies will add weight to their products to make them feel more 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 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 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:04.799 about what five ten pounds something like that the construction of this also 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:07.080 feels really good I can't like Bend this 00:04:04.799 --> 00:04:10.980 front grill in at all Sona says that there's some specialized wave guides in 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:15.360 the front which have like little spiky things I really wanted to like rip this 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 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 00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:26.639 finish I think that little panel Gap thing is a little bit problematic I 00:04:25.020 --> 00:04:31.440 would expect better for how much this costs yeah now I'm seeing it everywhere 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 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:40.860 nice a little bit fatter at the back than the front like everybody should be 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 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 00:04:46.740 --> 00:04:52.560 it would be too in your face the white is probably a little bit more pronounced 00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:56.160 than the black but I guess it depends on your interior design some more fun 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 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:04.680 great for bookshelf speakers and accent or something like that you could always 00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:08.340 spray bomb them I guess the feet seem good yeah they're really rubbery they're 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 00:05:10.020 --> 00:05:16.620 little tiny footprint so maybe not a table speaker I 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 00:05:19.080 --> 00:05:26.580 the bottom so they don't and I'll move it all there 00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:28.199 they're good well let's see how these 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 00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:35.120 hooked up to our sponsor alpaca keyboards how's that for a Segway 00:05:36.020 --> 00:05:40.680 stop it editor no thanks to a pack of 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:45.180 keyboards for sponsoring today's video alpaca keyboard's newest keyboard the 00:05:43.139 --> 00:05:49.979 white fox Eclipse features an iconic design based on the original white fox 00:05:46.979 --> 00:05:51.479 that helped popularize the 65 layout it 00:05:49.979 --> 00:05:57.240 has a combination of the most desirable features gasket mounting programmability 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:59.820 Bluetooth RGB and Cherry profile PBT 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:03.419 keycaps the white fox eclipse is also the first keyboard to feature hot 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:08.520 swappable cases thanks to its magnetic gasket mounting system there are options 00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:11.160 for custom CNC aluminum case with both 00:06:08.520 --> 00:06:15.300 low and high profile designs and if you're a Mac User don't worry the keycap 00:06:13.500 --> 00:06:19.800 set is designed to be compatible with both Mac and PC check out the white fox 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:24.000 Eclipse Kickstarter at the link below okay let's get these boys hooked up to 00:06:21.900 --> 00:06:27.180 the app no power button I don't think oh there is a light on the front that's 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 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:34.680 like bonked or something I need to give it 00:06:31.860 --> 00:06:37.620 location permissions storage I don't know what's going on anymore and we'll 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:42.539 give it microphone we'll just give it everything here's my social insurance 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:45.479 number it's getting it ready it's going 00:06:42.539 --> 00:06:50.639 to play a chime all right connecting to the Wi-Fi I like 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:55.139 that they can support 5G so many iot devices these days only sport 2.4 uh 00:06:53.460 --> 00:06:59.880 there's an update available of course because there has to be and we're 00:06:57.900 --> 00:07:03.780 getting advertisements for Dolby Atmos which we'll definitely be talking about 00:07:01.979 --> 00:07:10.380 a bit later I'm trying to figure out exactly what these 00:07:06.900 --> 00:07:13.199 do because Sonos won't tell us can I add 00:07:10.380 --> 00:07:19.199 alarms we can group speakers we can say favorites we can personalize it and 00:07:16.139 --> 00:07:21.240 enable automatic updates neat see you in 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 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 00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:33.960 would all be kind of different zones we can have a subwoofer which is also a 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 00:07:38.880 --> 00:07:46.259 of speakers have to be the same model you can't like Cross Match different 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:51.180 models together we have some EQ settings bass treble and a loudness toggle which 00:07:49.020 --> 00:07:55.740 is on by default true play which I believe is some sort of technology to 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 00:08:00.060 --> 00:08:04.639 let's give that a go it's going to be loud I hope 00:08:06.060 --> 00:08:09.060 foreign 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 00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:23.460 a nice performative speaker uh it seems to have six drivers or something like 00:08:21.060 --> 00:08:28.319 that two woofers in the side two tweeters uh firing up in this direction 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:33.839 another Tweeter that has a horn that kind of fires up and then another one in 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 00:08:35.459 --> 00:08:41.459 three Channel um I'm not entirely sure if it's two 00:08:38.459 --> 00:08:44.219 channel with some psycho acoustic tuning 00:08:41.459 --> 00:08:47.820 to like use the up firing thing Sonos doesn't seem to actually list how many 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:52.860 channels these are they kind of avoid that in their material which is a little 00:08:49.380 --> 00:08:55.320 bit strange we also have a height audio 00:08:52.860 --> 00:09:02.160 setting which kind of gives me the hope that the up firing is its own dedicated 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.720 Channel it also has a line in so no aux 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 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:12.600 want to have line it you can buy a 20 00:09:10.220 --> 00:09:16.920 USBC to three and a half millimeter Jack which plugs in right there or for the 00:09:14.760 --> 00:09:21.120 low low price of forty dollars you can buy a combo Jack that has an Ethernet 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:27.360 port and a three and a half millimeter Jack which is strange it's not like 00:09:23.640 --> 00:09:29.279 there's any room left to have that on 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:33.300 the back here I think we'll we'll get some crab Rave in this now 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:38.820 foreign right now it really is just coming out 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 00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:45.660 that's kind of that's kind of interesting 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 00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:58.080 okay I can't that's extremely loud uh 00:09:56.040 --> 00:10:04.260 that is like hearing damagingly loud that's awesome no Distortion whatsoever 00:10:01.019 --> 00:10:05.600 that's a very very good result uh I'm 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 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 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 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:21.370 already which is good to see let's listen to it like I'm actually listening 00:10:19.500 --> 00:10:27.000 to a speaker so I'm going to sit here 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:33.480 that sounds bad because it's going that 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 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 00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:47.240 it and I think it's supposed to be like a room speaker so goodbye 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.240 foreign 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:58.260 okay what I thought was gonna happen happened and it sounds really good sort 00:10:56.100 --> 00:11:02.160 of around the entire room uh almost exactly the same as if I was sitting 00:11:00.300 --> 00:11:06.360 next to it so this is definitely designed as kind of a throw around the 00:11:03.959 --> 00:11:11.720 room speaker sitting here is kind of not great but everywhere else is really 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 00:11:14.339 --> 00:11:20.040 song which is on Apple music in a spatial audio playlist which is the 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 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 00:11:27.060 --> 00:11:33.450 top firing Tweeter and the front firing Tweeter actually tweet 00:11:35.459 --> 00:11:43.380 I don't know if this is even right this doesn't sound like spatial music 00:11:40.860 --> 00:11:46.170 okay yeah this says Dolby Atmos down here and those speakers are definitely 00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:49.760 on right now 00:11:49.760 --> 00:11:55.079 uh yeah sounds really good now uh that 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 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 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:05.399 going to get the stereo separation just playing all the speakers I mean I'm 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 00:12:08.100 --> 00:12:15.420 the mids because the woofers are trying to like compensate with a hell of a lot 00:12:11.459 --> 00:12:17.640 of bass uh but yeah it was good enough I 00:12:15.420 --> 00:12:22.620 think for a tiny little speaker let's get a 100 going and compare the two 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 00:12:24.540 --> 00:12:29.459 subscription today 00:12:29.459 --> 00:12:35.940 foreign foreign 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:38.820 this is also obscenely loud a little bit of distortion from the Tweeter I think a 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 00:12:42.060 --> 00:12:47.339 air movement from the woofers on the side this one's way more directional 00:12:45.180 --> 00:12:50.820 kind of more facing this way the base kind of propagates more from the side 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 00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:59.880 want the tweeters a bit more directional than maybe the 300 provides unless you 00:12:57.180 --> 00:13:03.660 really want to go crazy with the atmos system you could probably get away with 00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:06.959 this instead this one obviously doesn't support Dolby because there's touch 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:10.440 controls at the top where there should be a speaker so yeah it does have these 00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:13.620 angled tweeters and one woofers there's three speakers so this will be just a 00:13:11.820 --> 00:13:18.180 two channel where this one is claiming possibly a four Channel maybe probably 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:20.959 just a three if I'm being honest let's do a stereo pair 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.240 that was actually amazing 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 00:13:32.820 --> 00:13:37.860 actually it's disabled these up firing tweeters and it's just playing out of 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 00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:46.740 control over that in the app but removing that control simplifies it for 00:13:44.940 --> 00:13:49.740 the end user I think let's actually Point them towards me like they're 00:13:48.180 --> 00:13:52.820 supposed to be because I'm just getting all Bass from the sides 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:59.220 yeah that's great um I mean having the mid drivers out the 00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:03.000 side is kind of I guess a good idea sometimes depending they seem to be a 00:14:01.380 --> 00:14:08.880 little bit lower down in the frequency range than like a traditional woofer it 00:14:06.660 --> 00:14:14.700 seems to reproduce the low frequencies better than some of maybe the high mids 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.079 but it's not to its massive detriment I 00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:19.920 mean I'm being very particular here that's uh certainly of an acceptable 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:25.339 sound quality which is which is really good to see blinding lights in Dolby 00:14:22.860 --> 00:14:31.940 Atmos Atmos is really strong there that is 00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:31.940 actually amazing 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 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:43.320 the price of admission right there the atmos is where these really do shine uh 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 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 00:14:50.040 --> 00:14:56.579 really does improve it I wonder if that's because the speakers are more 00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:02.160 tuned for Atmos then maybe they are like normal playback I think maybe if we just 00:14:58.860 --> 00:15:04.920 had the stereo music with these extra 00:15:02.160 --> 00:15:09.540 tweeters enabled then it would sound as good I don't know if our ceiling height 00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:14.459 or even the layout here really makes the atmos shine but the music sounds better 00:15:11.459 --> 00:15:16.560 sounds more spacious probably because we 00:15:14.459 --> 00:15:22.499 have some extra drivers in play then we don't with stereo audio 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 00:15:29.760 --> 00:15:35.880 threw on the ground these 100s maybe a little bit of a base heavy probably 00:15:33.420 --> 00:15:39.120 maybe room uh but from sitting here on the desk negative four is a little bit 00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:42.019 more balanced they're kind of a bit overpowering and the mids are kind of 00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:47.880 squashed so the 300s have a bit more of an even 00:15:44.760 --> 00:15:49.560 sound than the 100s here but these are 00:15:47.880 --> 00:15:55.560 still quite good I think maybe I'm just spoiled from those 300s I would much 00:15:51.839 --> 00:15:58.199 rather have a pair of these than one of 00:15:55.560 --> 00:16:06.980 those definitely these are about half the cost of a 300. so these era 100s are 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:11.459 250 bucks each and so that means they're 00:16:06.980 --> 00:16:14.459 500 dollars for two and the 300 is 450 00:16:11.459 --> 00:16:15.779 bucks so if you buy a pair of these you 00:16:14.459 --> 00:16:20.100 get a bit of a discount from them and you buy them individually and the stands 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 00:16:21.899 --> 00:16:27.779 maybe one of these for your bedroom right it's kind of interesting and then 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 00:16:29.760 --> 00:16:37.019 exploded view like I think there's a whole bunch of space in the bottom here 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 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 00:16:44.940 --> 00:16:50.160 Cable in the back like it just looks gross let me be able to hide it 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 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:57.600 like I can't have it flush with the wall 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 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:05.760 that same sort of vein I don't understand why I can only pair two of 00:17:04.020 --> 00:17:10.319 these so in each room you're only allowed to have one stereo pair which 00:17:08.280 --> 00:17:15.299 means that if I wanted to say listen to quadraphonic audio with four of these 00:17:12.600 --> 00:17:21.000 and like really experience uh Dolby Atmos music I can only get two speakers 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 00:17:23.100 --> 00:17:28.439 really nice to maybe have two of these guys at the front and two of these 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 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:39.299 in one room I can only have one stereo pair Sonos can support something like 32 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:43.700 active devices simultaneously so why can't I buy a whole bunch of these and 00:17:40.860 --> 00:17:48.240 have a what was it 27.1.10 system with 10 up firing 00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:52.440 speakers and you know sound everywhere like Dolby Atmos is supposed to be able 00:17:50.460 --> 00:17:57.720 to function as something clearly missing from the Sonos document at least what I 00:17:55.080 --> 00:18:02.820 could find is a clear indication of how many channels each of these guys have 00:17:59.520 --> 00:18:04.799 apparently Sonos can support 5.1.2 but 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 00:18:06.660 --> 00:18:12.059 documentation I shouldn't have to go digging through Community forms and 00:18:10.140 --> 00:18:16.260 other posts and news articles to figure out what I'm actually about to buy if 00:18:13.860 --> 00:18:22.260 anybody knows please let me know this is kind of beyond my ability to test here 00:18:18.600 --> 00:18:24.660 Labs where are you at honestly uh for 00:18:22.260 --> 00:18:28.919 the price and performance ratio these sound really good at least the 300s out 00:18:26.760 --> 00:18:34.679 of the box no tuning nothing like that you know we do the room thing whatever 00:18:30.360 --> 00:18:36.179 sounds great for 480 each I think I 00:18:34.679 --> 00:18:41.340 would definitely recommend getting a pair which is even more money as a 00:18:39.419 --> 00:18:46.760 singular speaker listening to non-atmos audio which is 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 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:57.299 with a cheaper speaker if you're getting one two spatial audio even one with 00:18:54.299 --> 00:18:59.760 spatial audio quite incredible 00:18:57.299 --> 00:19:02.820 um two is really where your money is how great the system is if they would 00:19:01.320 --> 00:19:07.320 implement it a little bit differently it's like it's right there you just have 00:19:05.760 --> 00:19:10.980 speakers as individuals and let people do what they want with them and have as 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 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 00:19:16.919 --> 00:19:25.020 sounded [ __ ] good and you won't let me because your ecosystem doesn't function 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:30.600 like it should it's sad it's short-sighted it's pathetic 00:19:27.380 --> 00:19:33.380 my disappointment is immeasurable and my 00:19:30.600 --> 00:19:33.380 day is ruined
