About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
I believe this is a cracking price for a new Soundbar package just launched, I was hoping to buy it back in the summer time but needed to replace my old soundbar and bought a Samsung 990B (which is great) but would have loved to have this to go with my Philips TV. I'm not sure the wife would be happy if I asked to get this one
And from Richer Sounds who have excellent customer service.
”This soundbar is a genuine head-turner from Philips. Audio performance is exceptional, and it's well-featured too. At this price, it becomes the one to beat.” ’Home Cinema Choice’ – Best Buy.
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X from a single soundbar
Featuring up-firing and side-firing speakers, the Philips Fidelio FB1 soundbar delivers truly enveloping sound from a single cabinet. With sound bounced from the ceiling and walls, you get the cinematic effect of sound coming from all directions. Fire up a movie with a Dolby Atmos or DTS:X soundtrack and be immersed by overhead aircraft and bullets ricocheting around the room.
IMAX Enhanced sound
The Fidelio soundbar is certified IMAX Enhanced. This means you get a feeling of the IMAX cinema experience in your home. Renowned for thrilling dynamics, IMAX Enhanced is your guarantee of ‘edge-of-seat’ excitement with an intense audio range that stretches from whispered dialogue to window-rattling explosions.
Built-in subwoofer delivers powerful sound
With a subwoofer built-in, this Philips soundbar has you covered for bass. Whether it’s an all-action soundtrack, stadium rock concert or just music played from your smartphone, the Philips has a deep, powerful sound that’s a match for the best wireless speakers.
Great with music
Truly full-range music playback means this Philips also doubles as a capable music speaker. What’s more, a wide range of wireless connectivity makes it ready for your choice of music streaming. Built-in Chromecast gets you access to vast selection of music via the Google Play store. Spotify Connect is also built-in (requires Premium account). Other options include simple Bluetooth connectivity, USB playback and an optical input for your CD/DVD or Blu-ray player.
DTS Play-Fi for surround sound upgrade potential
DTS Play-Fi is a revolutionary system that lets you add a compatible subwoofer and surround sound speakers, wirelessly. The components can be from any Play-Fi compatible brand although, for the best results, match with Philips’ own W1 sub and S1 surround speakers. DTS Play-Fi also lets you link compatible speakers for multiroom playback. Set-up and control via the Play-Fi app and wireless audio has never been so easy and flexible.
Timeless design
Although packed full of tech, the smooth, minimalist design is easy on the eye. Wrapped with Muirhead leather trim, offsetting the mesh grille, the soundbar has a premium look and feel. For a sense of cinematic excitement, the upwards firing speakers light up, although you can switch the illumination off when the main event begins.
Calibrate for your room
The size and shape of a room, not to mention the density of furniture, all have an effect on sound quality. It’s for this reason that the Fidelio FB1 comes supplied with a room calibration system. Simply place the supplied microphone in the main listening position, press a button and let the soundbar measure the room’s acoustics and adjust its settings accordingly. The result is perfectly optimised sound, whatever the room’s acoustics.
Connects to your choice of voice assistant device
For family-friendly control, the Fidelio FB1 is compatible with all the main voice assistants. Simply connect to your Alexa or Google Assistant device and ask for simple commands, such as volume or track skip, by voice. Use the AirPlay 2 interface for control via Apple’s Siri.
Easy connectivity
With HDMI eARC, connectivity couldn’t be easier. This simple, high-speed connection is compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. It also helps in reducing lip sync issues and, in most case, lets you use your TV’s remote to control the soundbar’s volume (via EasyLink).
Enjoy a more expansive sound from your soundbar, with the premium quality Philips Fidelio FB1.
Top quality wireless sound is just the beginning for the Philips Fidelio FS1. Introduce it to DTS Play-Fi, and it becomes an integral part of a full Fidelio surround sound system and more.
Deep, powerful sound
The Philips Fidelio FS1 is a compact wireless speaker that packs a punch. Nestled within its stylish cabinet is a 3-way speaker system with a downward-firing bass woofer and twin, passive bass radiators. This sophisticated speaker array gives the speaker a full-range sound that’s perfect for smaller or medium-sized rooms.
Spacious sound from a single box
Featuring an up-firing speaker, the Fidelio FS1 creates a much more three-dimensional sound than the average wireless speaker does. With sound reflected from the ceiling, you become more enveloped by your music and more connected with it.
Made for Hi-Res music streaming
Featuring AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect (requires Premium account), DTS Play-Fi and Bluetooth, the Fidelio FS1 offers many streaming music options. For Hi-res music files or streaming services, switch to the Critical Listening mode and enjoy every last drop of detail.
Pair for stereo or group for multi-room sound
Add a second Fidelio FS1 speaker and enjoy true stereo sound that’s a match for quality standmount speakers. Stereo reproduction means you get to hear the music precisely as it was recorded in the studio. Download the DTS Play-Fi app and you can take this speaker’s flexibility even further. Use within a DTS Play-Fi system to create a cross-brand, multiroom speaker system – all controlled by a single app.
Use as surround speakers for Fidelio FB1 soundbar
Another option that DTS Play-Fi brings is the ability to use the Fidelio FS1 as wireless surround speakers with the Fidelio FB1 soundbar. This turns the soundbar into a true 7.1.4 Atmos surround system with holographic sound all around your room.
Intelligent pairing
Pair the speakers with a compatible Philips Fidelio soundbar and sub and it automatically recognises its partners. Bass is now directed entirely to the subwoofer while the other components are free to concentrate on the critical mid-range and high frequencies.
Luxury finish
Just like the other award-winning Fidelio TAF products, the FS1 is finished in a luxurious combination of sustainable Muirhead leather and metal mesh. Rounded edges give it a softer and even more appealing style.
Ambilight LEDs for visual effect
Built-in Ambilight LED technology gives the FS1 theatre to match the sound. Sync with your Philips Ambilight TV and enjoy the Ambilight effect across a wider area. Alternatively, Lounge Mode turns the FS1 into a static background light that’s perfect for adding atmosphere to dinner parties or just a cosy night in.
Brilliant for music or movies and in one room or more, the Philips Fidelio FS1 is a wireless speaker with many strings to its bow.
For even more cinematic sound from your Fidelio soundbar, upgrade with the Philips Fidelio Wireless TAFW1 subwoofer.
The perfect match for your Fidelio soundbar
Developed alongside the Fidelio FP1 soundbar, this wireless sub not only connects seamlessly but also perfectly complements the sound quality. Both units are also finished in sustainable Muirhead leather, giving a unified and premium quality style.
Room-shaking bass
Using a downward-firing active woofer and twin ABRs (Auxiliary Bass Radiators), the Fidelio moves a mountain of air from a relatively slim cabinet. The result is bass that’s high in impact and takes the Fidelio soundbar to a whole new level of cinematic sound. Ease up on the volume and the high efficiency sub delivers a fuller, more richly balanced sound than when using a soundbar alone, making its presence felt at all volume levels.
Integrated sound
Pair the sub with a compatible Philips soundbar or TV and it automatically recognises its partner. Bass is now directed entirely to the subwoofer while the soundbar or TV is freed up to concentrate on the crucial mid-range and top-end. This means that you not only get a stronger bass response but also enhanced sound realism across the board.
Connect wirelessly via DTS Play-Fi
As a DTS Play-Fi connected device, the Fidelio subwoofer connects wirelessly to any DTS Play-Fi system, making it highly flexible. Furthermore, you can use the DTS Play-Fi app to set-up the sub and then optimise via the PS Fine Tune app.
Connect to any home AV
Although set up for wireless connectivity via DTS Play-Fi, the Fidelio subwoofer also connects via the more traditional, cabled method. With its RCA input, you can connect the sub to any AV system with a .1 subwoofer output and use it precisely as you would any other active subwoofer.
Premium quality, leather finish
If you’re expecting this sub to be big, boxy and crudely finished, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Finished in brushed metal and Muirhead leather, this subwoofer looks every bit as good as it sounds. The slimline profile not only reduces the visual bulk but also makes it easier to position.
And from Richer Sounds who have excellent customer service.

sorted byI would think that Philips should put out a notification on app or through retailers that they are working on it, otherwise just like now people will be returning all units. They shouldn't be selling broken stuff at all.
