True home theater with weaknesses in the freestyle.

I have for some time considered whether the system now deserves 4 or 5 stars. That is why my vote is to be understood rather than 4.5 stars. Because I feel the Cinebar when Cinesound as really terrific and so the primary target was achieved absolutely done the rounding up to 5 stars.

I got the devil Cinebar bought to the really terrible kläpprigen sound of my Samsung TVs upgrade. I'm not an audio professional and has always offered me the sound was available on the TV set. In the new TV but that was no longer acceptable, so should a solution without major installation costs ago, a soundbar. The reason for the brand to grab devil was the good reputation and a seemingly pretty good price / performance ratio.

Visually I like, I would say soundbar and subwoofer very good, timeless elegance. Surprisingly I felt the heavy weight of the soundbar. That the housing of Metal is not so you can see in the photos. Well, because now kläppert nothing! The installation was carried out As expected, quickly and easily. An overview of the configuration options and the coordination of the subwoofer was quickly possible with the help of the law, however concise handbook.

With the basic settings I was initially disappointed with the slightly lean sound, as I had adjusted the bass setting to my taste was the enthusiasm, however, really big. Especially with movie playback excites me the sound over and over again. The normal audio is always convincing clear language is well understood, and so my TV already well ahead. With deep bass the system but brilliant really, you can feel the sound directly physically, he is a through and through. And that even at relatively low volumes. Hammer! With the Teufel System makes a movie night same again so much fun, right cinema atmosphere. Enormous!

But when playing music I draw from a point. Especially with rock music and heavy metal I find the interplay of sound bar and subwoofer as somehow inhomogeneous. The bass bumpers by Subwooer Although quite formidable, but that seems somehow to be a direct part of the music. Apparently there is a proper bass box is the better solution. If, however, still whining at a high level. :-)

In summary, and what I liked and what else do less:

Pro:
+ Impressive bombastic film sound. The pinnacle of this soundbar. 6 stars! :-)
+ Overall great sound and deep bass are enormous, directly physically felt.
+ Good workmanship and attractive and timeless design.
+ The subwoofer comes after some time of inactivity, but when you need it in 1-2 seconds.
+ The remote has a surface that feels partially velvety. I'm not quite sure if that's a rubber ceremony or just a micro fine structure of the plastic surface. The whole thing makes the small device thus act as quality hint at the photos.

Neutral:
o Unfortunately, the remote control is technically rather lukewarm. As have noted some reviewers is the transmission line is relatively weak. You have to aim so that the Soundbar reacts directly towards the receiver. Is selbige built somewhat less favorable or the transmission distance is greater use could be annoying.
o The advertised (simulated) surround sound seems to work only halfway under optimal conditions, and only then if you look is centered in front of the soundbar. If he deviates even slightly from the center from the effect is seemingly gone. I have been only once really conscious was taken. However, my room would sound really important I would not have resorted to a soundbar.

Negatives:
- Music playback especially when rocking pieces I feel as good but not perfect.
- The display is illegible for me from across the room. Sure, it's good if a discreet display does not distract from the TV screen, but this display is dimly lit and low contrast I each must go before the unit time to read this to. There is still potential for improvement.
- May shine Correct the Soundbar with the most important, the sound. The electronic trappings, however, is a bit of yesterday. The lack of HDMI and network connections prevent the control eg via CEC or smartphone app. So what offer Today 'to days already devices on the lower price segment.

Conclusion: Even if you miss many trappings and me in the music playback the Soundbar I have not convinced 100% purchase has not regretted. The bombastic film sound, quality appearance and price / performance have absolutely convinced me. While it does not mean that no improvements could be made, but overall I'm quite pleased. I would buy this again Soundbar.
