CES 2025 Review
I could hear the crowd... mainly behind me and on the side, but I could hear very distinctly, I could pick out individual voices on the left side of me, of people cheering and then you hear the other people on the other side cheering. It's not just a mix of voices, like you can hear individual voices and it was super impressive.
Numerous times during all these demos that I watched, I could look in a direction where I'm hearing stuff and there's no speaker there, but it's almost as if I could point to (the sound)—like hey, there's a sound effect coming from there; there's a bullet coming from there, there's a gunner on top of me on the ceiling, shooting down and shooting over.
The atmospherics are incredible, the channel separation is phenomenal, and when you consider there's only a soundbar, two subs and like physical speakers in the back, the channel separation is amazing.
With the upfiring drivers on the soundbar and on the surrounds, it makes the ceiling so much bigger, so much taller. It makes the room so much more expansive, just enveloping.
“I don't think this should be called a soundbar anymore; this is a total complete home theater system with the convenience of a soundbar.”
