Over rated. Story is disjointed. And the whole movie is filmed in brown. Yes it’s the desert but it gets old. Fight scenes are like watching a bad ballet.

Features left off the 65” not smart

Posted by: Techknow
So you spend $2000 on sale for the 65” and no anti-reflective coating in the 65”! That is just plain stupid.

The only issue is Bestbuy keeps posting stock, ordered multiple times. Get notifications on the progress of my order and then it’s canceled because Bestbuy can’t fulfill orders.

Lacking in the low resonance on voices

Good but lacks low resonance on voices. This is because the crossover for the subwoofer is only for very low frequencies.

Bloated mid bass
on February 5, 2021
Posted by: Techknow
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bloated mid bass! Even after using the room calibration TruePlay.
Plan on lowering the bass to -3 or -4.
It was effecting dialogue severely.
The Bose Soundbar 300 I think is a step up from the Beam.

One of the best soundbars on the planet
on February 5, 2021
Posted by: Techknow
Verified Purchase:Yes
One of the best soundbars available. But maybe to powerful for a small bedroom. The Soundbar 300 is a better choice for that application. A friend called me last week telling me how bad the soundbar he just purchased was, even had Atmos. I recommended the 700 soundbar. He was fortunate to get the last one and told me it is incredible.

Dolby Vision movies look amazing! Excellent black levels and HDR brightness. This is as close as you can get to OLED plus there is no burn-in. Ignore the review on Rtings. They got a bad panel. I have no black uniformity issues. I paired this with a Sony Blu-ray player and a Appletv streamer Amazing picture quality!

Overall3 out of 5
3 out of 5Decent sound, but not the greatest
By CDF3

The unboxing experience is nice. The materials and craftsmanship is top notch. You will need to download the app in order to setup the speakers, which did not give me any issues setting them up. After that, it's not as great as I expected. After they were setup, the app informed me that the speakers needed a firmware update. That took about 20 minutes. Once setup was complete, the speakers have a relatively good sound. Nice clean bass and mids. It seems to be mixing highs. I guess that is to be expected since it uses one speaker to playback lows, mids, and highs. Having a separate speaker for the highs would have been nice. When playing music at low to mid volume levels, they sound like any other average speaker. However, if you crank up the volume they can easily fill up a room with little to no distortion. They're advertised as having wireless functionality, but it's far from perfect. It offers WiFi, AirPlay, and Bluetooth wireless options. When I used them over WiFi, the slave speaker that was connected to the master speaker kept cutting out. I tried them over AirPlay and go the same result. The same happened when I tried connecting them via Bluetooth. They tend to work best when they are used as hardwired speakers. I ended up using a spare Alexa Echo Dot device I had laying around the house to use them wirelessly. I sent the signal to the Echo Dot wirelessly, while having the Echo Dot hardwired to the speakers. Maybe another update could fix the connectivity issue. For the price they cost, they should be perfect out of the box.

One Speaker? Not

There are 2 drivers. The tweeter is a completely separate speaker in the center of the woofer.
