ZVOX SOUNDBAR TV

(Downward facing speakers on a TV - wonderful idea! Sound bounces off the top of the tv unit to increase the already bland sound they produce!) Others have complained of confusing remote for this unit, whereas I find there is insufficient variation of control, and therefore, variety of sound. The manufacturer gives a 30 day return policy and coupled with the Amazon guarantee and the distance selling regulations returns facility, what’s to lose?Ĭertainly better than the useless sound on my new 40' Samsung, which is pathetic & tinny. and just make everything louder and with more bass, not clearer. Other soundbars seem to be made to enhance music, games etc. Whatever they have in stock is what they will try to convince you is your best solution but it’s not (as with every sales person for every product in every shop). I have visited various specialist Hifi retailers and tested various soundbars. Most dramatic improvement is with my Samsung 40” which has tiny speakers that don’t face forward. I have various TVs and I have tried the box with each of them. I have also tried listening through the box and using hearing aids, the hearing aids don’t improve it so they are redundant for the TV. I have now stopped using the subtitles and I can hear the TV without having the volume raised. This “box” is manufactured specifically to make the sound clearer for people with my hearing loss. Flat solid base in front of the TV works best for me but there are mounting holes for screw mounts at the rear, so it could be fitted on a wall. It makes a big difference how and where the box is mounted.

Experimenting with the settings provides different solutions for different peoples voices within the same programme and different programmes (films, documentaries, music, etc.). When it comes on, it is definitely clearer however, the handset has controls for surround sound, output levelling, accuvoice, treble and bass. Plug the box into the mains socket and connect the optic cable and it works instantly, plugging in the optic cable included is the most awkward both at the TV and at the box as its just plain fiddly, but that’s just the optic cable and they are all like that. When watching TV, I normally need to have the subtitles on which I hate. My problem is the range at which women and children speak (women think that men are ignoring them, they are not, they just can’t hear them) and therefore I have been prescribed hearing aids. My local hospital audiologist describes my hearing loss as being a fairly standard male degenerative (age 60-70) hearing loss problem.
