sorted byNot that impressed
1st one bricked itself within a week
2nd one constantly disconnects from TV when you turn on the tv, have to mess with the output format back and forth then it'll come on. It does power on with the TV, just no sound.
Subwoofer is really good but the soundbar is disappointing for me in terms of sound
Gonna live with it for now, maybe it's alright for £169 with the woofer if I can resolve the disconnection issue
Also, some have a 'sweet spot' volume - until you hit it, it's going to sound not much better than your TV's speakers. So raise the volume & experiment a little with the bass & treble controls if it has it, turn off your TV speakers in the settings, etc, etc. (edited)
It is not possible to balance a 50 inch TV on top of it, and if placed in front, it obscures the TV remote sensor.
Read a review by Expert Reviews which states:
"The React also supports more advanced features including Alexa Communications and Alexa Multi-Room Music. The former lets you use the React as an intercom to communicate with others in your household or make phone calls, while the latter enables you to pair the bar with other Alexa-enabled speakers to enjoy music across multiple rooms."
The "making phone calls" bit interested me, but the manual says:-
"Microphone:This is the microphone to talk to Alexa.
Do not put anything on top of the sound bar. Doing so may leadaccidental operations.
This microphone cannot be used for calls."
So that removes a really handy benefit leaving just problems all the way.
Disappointed
