Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Philips notebook soundbar is a very good product as long as you keep your expectations reasonable. I am something of an audiophile and put a great deal of my disposable income and time into cultivating my critical listening room and home theater set up. This means that as a rule I don't buy my audio components at the local big box stores.
On the other hand I am also a tech person who owns multiple video game systems, Ipods, smartphones etc. So I also appreciate the power and convenience of the digital age. I preface with this information to point out that I appreciate and recognize great sound, but also recognize that everything has its use.
Clearly, if you are buying a laptop soundbar you should not, nor do you have the right to expect it to sound like a large full range speaker. I don't care how much you may spend on it. But comparing this soundbar to a full range speaker isn't at all fair or apt. Philips doesn't pretend that this product can deliver such dynamic sound reproduction or bass response.
What Philips intends for this soundbar to do is upgrade your audio experience over that which the laptop's built-in speakers can deliver. It does that very well. No longer do I struggle to hear what someone is saying during a low quality Youtube video or a DVD movie. No longer do I need to max the volume to the point where everything becomes distorted just to hear what someone is saying. I run this soundbar at about 50% volume and it's plenty loud and clear for me. I should point out that I have two young daughters (9 and 2) that are usually adding to the background noise so you may find that running the volume even less than 50% is sufficient.
Attaching the device couldn't be simpler. Just slip it over the top of the screen and screw it finger tight. Then it's just a matter of plugging in the USB. No software, no hassle. Just an instant audio upgrade from the tin cans your laptop came with.
Now for the downsides. I hesitate to even classify this as a negative, but I feel I must warn people that they should not expect surround sound or full dynamic range from this little guy. What you will get is a louder, clearer audio experience that is fairly treble heavy (higher frequency range). If the trebly sound quality proves bothersome to you, it can easily be remedied by going to the control panel of your laptop and adjusting the EQ to your liking. Just know that no amount of EQ adjustment will make this speaker thump or reach down into lower frequency ranges. It's just not designed for that purpose.
Another negative is that depending on how loudly and how much you use the soundbar, it will definitely shorten battery life. That's a very minor negative to me though because you should know going in that adding ANY peripheral to a laptop will cause a charged battery to drain faster.
Finally, the soundbar, while relatively small, is still large enough that one wouldn't want to leave it on the laptop indefinitely. In addition, the laptop cannot be fully closed with the speaker attached (at least on mine). So after you're done with it you pretty much have to remove it. They do provide a decent little carry bag. So there is the matter of repeated handling that may be bothersome to some.
Overall, the product does exactly what it is supposed to do simply and conveniently. At this price point I think the majority of people would be satisfied with it as long as their expectations are realistic.
