toward the wind to the sennheiser MBO in this fight
congratulations to the Sennheiser am Bo that we'll be moving on to the
semi-finals the second bracket is essentially the cool kids on the block
the son of spin bar first impose 700 we love you so much beam but we have to get
this battle to the bow sandbar 700 and honesty we can't wait to see how it fare

heavy heart we said we say farewell to the Nakamichi shock wave nine point two
point four and on that note we welcome this semifinalist the Samsung hwp many
are the boys soundbar 700 the Sennheiser am bo the LG
SL 10 why
in the first semifinal round we have the Sennheiser MBO versus the boson bar 700
shake hands and let's have a clean fight fight both contestants strike out of the
gate with their beautiful design although they sports extremely different
design styles both look innovative and should essentially fit in any living
room you place them in the boat 700 is going for the more premium sophisticated
design while the Meo is straight-up tacky and audio driven design for us
it's dying we love both designs even though they're quite different next up
we got audio quality now these sound bars have different
sound signatures and deliveries but again both perform very well for the
boss 700 lakhs in Dolby Atmos support it makes up in better sound separation in
the production mainly thanks to Bose phase guide and quiet for take the
elevates the listening experience in a way that reduces distortion and widens
the sound field whether we're watching The Avengers the Lang King or the news
or even if we're listening to music the Bose 700 produces clear high
fidelity sound at any volume level the ambi on the other hand still has several
growing pains - both as the headphone and mic sweater and Sennheiser is still
a newbie in the sambar key unlike the Bose 700 the ambient does support Dolby
Atmos MVPs 6 as you pretty much expect from any high-end sambar this sound bar
is an all-in-one system without the compromise and that's essentially the
best thing about it we're impressed with the audio achievements Anheuser reaches
with the Ambu but it's still kind of limited by the lack of physical surround
speakers and it has no expandability options but that might not be always a
disadvantage as the embryo sneaks a left low to the 700 but just being a better
choice for those without a big room to spare free speakers and sub it follows
with the right swing for being a better choice if you look for it all the Atmos
and VPS X standalone sambar however the boss 700 although being on the ropes
manages to come back and recover and deliver a deadly uppercut to the Ambu
we'll explain first of all it appeals to a wider audience
it features the superior music playback better and more noticable soundstage
clear dialogue and puncher deeper bass especially when paired with the boss
double the icing on the cake is the extra features it offers
like built-in Alixe we feel that the ball 700 especially when paired with the
subwoofer and these surround speakers is an overall better package that makes it
hard for a standalone bar like the Ambu to compete but that being said the ball
700 manages to come back and take this fight moving on to the finals before
moving on to the second semi finals you most likely don't agree with some of the
choices we made here based on your own experience drop us a comment let us know
why explain and let's have a civilized discussion our second semi finalists are
the LGS elton y versus the samsung q9 y our fight you've probably seen this
before as samsung flagship vs. and LG flagship if it sounds familiar is
because both companies have been direct competitors for years in numerous
categories especially TVs mobile phones and home appliances this fight however
is all about sound bars and we already covered the main specs features in audio
quality for both of the systems so to speed things up and get to the
much-anticipated final battle we'll just note where each bar excels over the
other and give our ruling for the match the first round is gonna be about dolby
atmos well we'll just straight out say dolby atmos reproduction sounds better
on the samsung q9 er mid ranges sound better on the QAR bass response and
accuracy was generally equal involved next round is designed as far as design
goes both sound bars followed their predecessors exact design language so we
also give the slight advantage here to the q9 er which looks and feels more
premium next round is price and value while both of these sound bars are
full-fledged atma system the LG s Elton Y manages to be more affordable option
and caters to a more budget oriented customer so who is the winner
well there's no knockouts here it's a tough call it has to come down to a
judge's decision both sound bars are truly great and you wouldn't be
disappointed with either choice don't count on any slow-motion knockout scenes
in this battle but we have to give the slight edge to the Samsung q9 er as we
always consider overall sound quality to be the king on this channel and reviews
so the winner in this semifinals by a unanimous judge's decision is the
Samson q9e are the final battle to determine it all which sambar would
prevail and be considered the ultimate battle royale winner welcome to the
finals the battle of the Giants the Samson community our versus the Bo ssam
bar 700 fight we'll begin with the sound while both sandbars look sleek the bow
700 has a premium look and feel to it all the way through with its aluminium
grills a beautiful tempered-glass dog two color options and a compact design
that just manages to fit in every we also like this year's iconic white
design it's clean and refreshing the q9v hour however is no slouch it's a
beautiful Samba and has a wraparound metal grills and it's just a beautiful
sambar in every sense of the way however where it comes short compared to the
boss 700 is with it's slightly less premium look and feel also it's quite
bigger so it may be a problem as far as placement options the boss 700 is more
compact and has a premium design and will quality good that the samson q9e
are just can't match now we know the design is in the eye of the beholder but
we just gotta give the slight edge here to the boss 700 the boss 700 manages to
follow through with an extra hook with its built-in subwoofer but you have to
consider the additional cost of that subwoofer because it is not included in
the boast 100 standalone version so the boss 700 is currently in the lead but
the QDR is far from throwing in the towel and it strikes back hard what the
boss 700 takes a beating as we mentioned the boss 700 sadly lacks Tobias was MPTs
sex support these sound formats are painfully absent from the boss number
700 so don't count on airplane missiles and chopper sound reflecting from the
ceiling these rounds virtualisation the 700 provides although being well
implemented just can't compete with Dolby Atmos sound but beyond that the
Samson kudani are also packs and much healthier spec sheet the Samsung q9 er
has HD are 10 suppor it has doubled HDMI ports versus the 700
TRC support and many more connectivity options having only one HDMI port on the
700 means that your only options for wired connections are optical or HDMI
IRC so that your additional devices such as game consoles or streaming boxes
effectively have to rely on your TV to do the sound coding
which is a huge - but most important while the Bose sound bar 700 is limited
to Dolby Digital and DPS will expand ability of up to 5.1 channels the Qun
NER is all-in and Dolby Atmos and DTS X but it's seven point one point four
channels and 17 speakers array straight out of the box the boss 700 came out
swinging with a better design but it just couldn't match the Samsung QAR as
far as features and sound here's your winner the Samsung hwq 9-yard the less
sound bar left standing to take this ultimate sound bar battle royale and be
crowned as the best overall sound bar for 2020 each of these competitors cater
