The media could not be loaded. I bought this BT speaker just because there was an attractive discount. I thought this to be an average or below average speaker for lite use or listening. But this speaker really surprised me. The sound quality very nice, with nice instrumental and vocal separation, I have listened to a couple of podcasts and instrumental music in this sound bar and it sounds clear and great without any vibration or clutter or screeching even when the volume is kept at as high as 95%. The build quality is also good(not the best as JBL or Sony) but at the price of 1500-2000 it is really great. The bluetooth connectivity is great, after paring with the device once it gets connected automatically afterwards whenever the bluetooth is turned on. And I have noticed one thing, I don't know where it's true or not, this BT speaker's sound becomes more wider and surrounding whenever it's connected to an Apple device, I have connected it to my apple Ipad and its sound changed into more wider, loud and surround kind of(may be it's due to apple's in built software equaliser). I have not yet tested it's battery fully, because I listen to songs not more than one hour, when I opened it from the package, I played it for an hour when it's battery showed 60% in my phone, and it still remained at 60% after an hour of playing, so I can assume that it's battery is decent, it may give about 5-6 hours of play time in real time situation which is good at this price point considering the 16W powerful output. For those who are Bass heads, please don't expect wonders from this speaker, though it has a better bass than many of its rivals but it's base doest sounds like Bose or JBL's(which are too expensive at more than 15k). The bass is not too thumpy or not too low, it's very balanced, I mean it doesn't feel irrititating. I will surely recommend this BT speaker to those who loves cinematic sound experience and who loves to listen to clear podcasts and instrumental music. For bass heads, they can try a full range woofer kind of speaker (which might be under 10-15k range including bluetooth and battery and around 5-7k without battery).

Although we have a 5.1 home theater system, I bought this one for want of less cables which looks messy around the TV in living room, the purpose served only by soundbars without external subwoofer, and this being the one with good sound.Pros:1. Excellent sound!! To be honest, I didn’t expect the sound quality to be this much good. Really, I hear cinema like rich sound from this one. Sound is loud and clear with decent bass. Although I read earlier positive reviews about it, yet when I hear this bar, it was ahead of my expectations for sure.2. Price…. at Rs. 3600/- during prime sale, it is really a steal!!3. Connectivity options, you can simultaneously connect it to at least 2-3 devices without compromising sound quality (for more read below).4. Good looks.Cons:1. Although it offers many connectivity options, still you will get the best output using the HDMI ARC cable and line in (use good quality cables). Output via Bluetooth is slightly above average. RCA connection is the worst (and this is why I gave one star less) with less than average sound output (I bought Rs. 400/- amazon basics RCA cable for connecting it with my laptop which has an excellent sound card, but a waste ☹). I didn’t try optical port, and no idea about usb port as well.2. Although I said it offers excellent sound quality, yet I feel that they should have provided more control over bass. There are times when we don’t want much bass along with sound, you can reduce it through remote control, but not much.3. Less than average quality remote control and AUX & RCA cables (but I don’t give much weightage to these accessories and stick to important features like sound quality and connectivity).How to connect it to HDMI ARC port – On your android TV, go to settings -> device preferences -> Tick HDMI Control under CEC (you can also tick other options as per your preferences) and you are done (I guess these settings are more or less similar on all android/smart TVs). Now you can also increase or decrease bar sound using your TV remote.Conclusion: A good and economical purchase with quality output and satisfaction.

I consider myself an audiophile, someone who has the finest audio equipment. I know my sound. I was looking for an inexpensive Sound Bar just because I wanted clear dialogue. The new TV's don't have good built in speakers because they are so thin. They sound like the dialogue is coming out of an aluminium can.I tried the Zook and the MI sound bar. The Zook was very cheap quality and the MI does not have a remote.I then got the Blaupunkt, and I must say I am blown away. The unit has a nice Piano black glossy finish and a good weight to it. The finish is good and looks like a product for which one would pay 3-4 times as much.Even more pleasantly surprising is the sound quality. The mid range is clear and the highs are nice without being harsh. What is even more surprising is the bass. I usually DO NOT like boom boom bass that most novice listeners like. I like bass only when it is true to the source and if it is clean and not muddy. I would rather not have bass than have bad bass. I am seriously amazed at how a speaker this small and this inexpensive has such a nice bass. I tried to play two pieces I always use to check bass, Pink Floyd's "Us & Them" and the Hell Freezes Over version of "Hotel California" Again, I was astounded. A speaker this size has no right to sound this good.Add to this the ARC connectivity and a good remote (although the buttons are a bit rubbery and need a harder than normal press) and you have a winner.Buy it WITHOUT THINKING twice.
