Samsung 3.1.2 Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer HW-Q70T/XY
04 March 2021
A well priced soundbar with good features.
Overall, a good product that is well designed and easy to set up. It is also competitively priced against sound bars with similar features. I bought it principally because I found some of the dialogue in recent movies to be hard to pick up, especially when the actor is speaking quickly and softly. It's mostly male actors with low voices that are sometimes hard to hear clearly. Female actors are clearer because of the higher pitch of their voices. The Q70T has a center speaker dedicated to dialogue and that is important - it does make a difference. However, I have to say that there are still instances where it's difficult to hear the dialogue clearly, even with the soundbar. And, no, it's not that I am getting hard of hearing - it's poor sound production by the sound engineer. The subwoofer is effective only if you crank up the volume. I don't have the space for the optional rear speakers but i would get them if I had a place to put them as I can tell that they would offer a true "surround sound" effect.
It's a pity that you can only say "yes" or "no" when answering the three questions above. Overall, the product works in terms of pressuring up and spraying. But here are the problems (1) the instructions are almost impossible to read because the writing is tiny (2) to the extent you are able to read the writing (I used a magnifying glass), the instructions are not especially clear (3) the back-straps keep coming off the body of the unit, which kind of defeats the purpose of the product, which is to be able to carry it around on your back so that you can pressure it up as required using the lever. If I can solve this problem by devising my own system (e.g. using belt buckles) I think that it will a useful addition to my gardening equipment.
