Soundbar killer...

The big problem with today's televisions is that they are so thin that they cannot have speakers with decent sound. The same problem was with my girlfriend's TV (LG 32LK6100PLB). While the TV speakers have very high volume, they have no mid and low frequencies, resulting in fatigue and annoyance.

So I was looking for a solution and I saw that the well-known retail stores are doing another clearance of the Acton for 125 euros. After avoiding the salesmen's "traps" to sell me a display model, I found a brand new piece in black color. Within a few minutes, I connected it via Bluetooth to the TV and we enjoyed the new beautiful "soundbar"!

The volume control is done normally from the TV, without having to constantly adjust it. Along with the volume control potentiometer, it also has two potentiometers for adjusting treble and bass. With a short experimentation, I set the volume potentiometer to 4, treble to 5, and bass to 4.

The sound is very good for a 125 euro speaker. Watching movies became enjoyable and even when playing simple radio, the sound pleasantly fills the entire apartment.

The positives are that it is beautiful, has very good sound, and easy connectivity.

The negatives are the absence of aptX codec, but I think that even if it had it, it wouldn't make a noticeable difference in sound quality.

I consider it to have value at 125 euros and it performs excellently in its new purpose in life as a soundbar.

I bought this speaker on 28/2/2018, and as soon as I played music, I was thrilled from the first second. The quality of the bass, midrange, and treble impressed me so much that I couldn't decide what music to listen to. You won't believe that this speaker has a proper subwoofer inside, which performs like a proper subwoofer. I don't think there is another speaker with these characteristics that plays like a mini hi-fi with a subwoofer. The sound quality amazed me, and I've been listening to music all afternoon, forgetting for a while that I also have a serious DENON DRA F 109 mini hi-fi as my main sound system. It has a balanced and accurate sound, not poor or overly colored. It also has volume control, bass control, and treble control. Wherever you find this speaker and have the opportunity to listen to it, connect it to your smartphone immediately, and I believe you will leave the store at night as soon as it closes. I'm not exaggerating, I'm speaking very seriously. To connect it to your smartphone, you turn on the Bluetooth on your smartphone, then turn on the Bluetooth on the speaker. The Bluetooth indicator on the speaker will flash, and then you press the PAIR button on the speaker, and it connects in just two seconds. Then, a real quality music listening experience starts from this Bluetooth speaker of this size, which you haven't heard before, and you simply won't believe that it produces bass at the level of a small subwoofer. I won't even discuss the treble and midrange, as they are of the same sound quality as an expensive speaker that you connect to hi-fi amplifiers, not those cheap mini hi-fi systems you know. It's simply superior to all of them. And now there is another very significant negative aspect that I noticed on my phone only after a few minutes of use. When I activate Bluetooth on my phone to listen to music via Bluetooth, and my phone has Wi-Fi instead of 3G or 4G data, you understand what I mean, the Bluetooth on my phone blocks the Wi-Fi signal and doesn't load the music and videos, and it plays the song only to the point it has managed to load, and then the gray loading bar freezes, and the music and video stop playing. As you understood, for those who understood, the Bluetooth on my phone blocks the Wi-Fi signal from the router to the phone, and it stops the music and video, so one of its most basic functions automatically stops, and this has taken away half of the joy I had from the first second of use. You can also listen to music from your phone to the speaker using the beautiful gold-plated 3.5mm cable, which is of good quality and comes with the speaker, and I liked that they included it with the speaker.

Update on 3/3/2018: I connected the speaker to an iPhone 4s, Cubot Note S, and another Cubot (I don't remember the model). I also connected it to a Huawei Mate 10, and I found a way to disconnect the Bluetooth on my Mate 7 Pro, and in the end, it plays with perfect sound quality on all the phones I connected it to, without any disconnections, interruptions, or changes in sound. However, the Bluetooth disconnects after a few minutes of not using it, which may be a slight negative, but I don't mind at all because the sound has captivated me. The subwoofer and the sound quality have impressed everyone at work, where I took it for testing, and everyone loved it. You all must try it, search for it in stores and ask to listen to it, and you will think you bought a subwoofer. In words, you may not be convinced, but a test will convince you to buy it in seconds. As for the highs, I wouldn't say it needs improvement, I hear that it plays like an expensive HI-FI speaker.
