Verizon just announced a new line of products
that took me by surprise.
When you hear the name Verizon,
you probably think of smartphones,
tablets, accessories, and cellular service.
But now, Verizon is looking to improve the sound
in your home when watching TV and movies
with the Stream TV Soundbar and Soundbar Pro.
Let's talk about them.
(upbeat music)
First up, for anyone doing holiday shopping,
let me call out Verizon's Buy More, Save More deal.
You'll save 30% when you buy three qualifying accessories,
35% when you buy four, or 40% when you buy five.
I will leave a link in the description below
to the new soundbars as well.
Now, let's get into the features.
First, Bang & Olufsen Sound.
As I mentioned, Verizon has two models here,
the Stream TV Soundbar and the Stream TV Soundbar Pro.
Both are tuned by Bang & Olufsen
and feature Dolby Atmos sound.
Now, any soundbar would be an improvement
over the sound coming directly out of your TV.
But these soundbars take things to another level.
In the case of the Stream TV Soundbar,
you have five speaker drivers,
three full-range, and two woofers.
For those of you who want an even more premium experience,
the Stream TV Soundbar Pro has your back
with an insane nine drivers.
That's four full-range, three tweeters,
and two woofers.
One cool thing here
is that if you're a Verizon Fios customer,
the soundbar can use automatic sound-field detection
to determine what type of content you're watching
and adjust audio settings to provide the best playback.
So whether you need clear dialogue in a movie
or a roaring crowd when watching a sporting event,
your audio will be optimized to match your content.
Next, let's talk about apps.
That might throw you off a bit,
but these soundbars aren't just speakers.
They're also set-top boxes running Android 11,
which means you can install
all of your favorite streaming apps.
I'm talking Netflix, Hulu, YouTube TV, Disney+, Apple TV+,
and many more.
There's even a bunch of apps
that allow you to watch TV and movies completely free.
Just fire up apps like IMDb TV, Crackle, ESPN 3,
Cheddar, Tastemade, and Pluto TV,
and you can stream content at no additional cost.
In fact, the guide button on the remote
will pull up the Pluto guide,
so you can see what's streaming on the service at any time.
Of course, you can rent and buy the latest hits
through your favorite services,
or even in the Verizon Stream TV store.
Verizon Fios and wireless customers can also access
a vast on-demand catalog, too.
Oh, and as for video quality,
the Stream TV Soundbar and Soundbar Pro support
4K ultra high-definition resolution.
The next standout feature we need to talk about
is HDMI input management.
This is another one
that you don't see on a lot of soundbars.
The Stream TV Soundbar has two HDMI 2.1 inputs,
while the Stream TV Soundbar Pro has three HDMI 2.1 inputs.
This means you can plug in things like your game consoles
and 4K Blu-ray players directly into the soundbars,
and then plug the soundbar directly into your television.
You can swap between HDMI inputs with ease,
and the home button on the remote will always take you back
to the Stream TV interface.
Speaking of inputs, since these soundbars run Android 11,
it means they also have Chromecast built in,
allowing you to cast content from your devices
directly to the soundbar as well.
Now let's talk about the design.
The Stream TV Soundbar is designed by Verizon
and has a soft dome shape that sits on your TV stand
right in front of your television.
It's your standard soundbar placement.
However, if you want something more sleek
for the luxury speaker enthusiast,
that's the Stream TV Soundbar Pro.
I mentioned earlier that both soundbars are tuned
by Bang & Olufsen.
However, the hardware and look of the Soundbar Pro
is also designed by them.
Not only can it sit in front of your TV on a stand,
but it can also be wall-mounted,
sitting right under your wall-mounted TV
if you prefer that look.
You can pick up the Verizon Stream TV Soundbar for $399.99,
while the stream TV Soundbar Pro is available for $999.99.
I'll have links to both in the description
if you want to check them out for yourself.
Both of these soundbars deliver an easy to set up and use
all-in-one home theater experience based on Stream TV
and Bang & Olufsen audio.
That said, if you're looking
for the more premium home theater experience
with better sound, Bang & Olufsen design,
and the ability to wall-mount,
the Stream TV Soundbar Pro is a great option.
Thanks for watching as always, guys,
I appreciate your support.
I'm Andru Edwards, and I will catch you in the next video.
