MAJORITYSierra Plus | Dolby Atmos 2.1.2 Bluetooth Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer | 400W Up-Firing Surround Sound System For 3D Audio Home Theatre | USB, AUX, Optical, RCA & 3x HDMI | Custom EQ

Short reviewJust buy it, you will not be disappointed! Design, ease of use and sound quality are all exemplary. This is simple plug and play, really easy to setup and use. It works straight out of the box, delivering superb sound regardless of the content you are watching or listening to. In a world where there are too many options and information overload, this soundbar just delivers and punches well above its price bracket. If you are not sure, I would say go for it. You will not be disappointed! Well done Majority.Long reviewI have been long overdue an upgrade and after hearing Dolby Atmos in store and in the cinema, I really wanted to get it home. Once you've heard the object based audio from Dolby Atmos, you really feel like you're missing something.When this soundbar came up on Amazon it looked like a steal. Not many Dolby Atmos enabled soundbars for this sort of money especially considering a separate subwoofer is included. I've had experience of two Internet radios from Majority, and they were absolutely amazing, so this was no brainer for me.DesignThe design is really impressive for the price. I wasn't expecting such a quality finish when I got it out of the box. The blend of metal, gloss plastic and matt plastic makes you feel like Majority put some real effort into the design. Gloss plastic attracts fingerprints and masses of dust, but it also looks beautiful. This gloss has been incorporated so nicely into the design, framing/higlighting the edges and ends. It looks superb, yet they've minimised the use of it to all the right places. I wouldn't call this a slender soundbar, at 81mm tall, but the blend of materials used means it looks perfectly proportioned. Trust me, you're going to want to show this thing off.The subwoofer is surprisingly light and compact. You can make out the 6.5cm woofer behind the fabric and there is a glossy port at the front. Design wise, it is more simple than the soundbar, perhaps a little bland. However, most people will have it tucked away anyway, so this isn't a big deal.ConnectionsThe soundbar has AC power input, 2x HDMI in, 1x ARC, 1X Optical, 1x AUX and 1x USB. It also has Bluetooth connectivity. I think that should have everyone covered.The sub has a hardwired power cable, wps button and a USB socket (for updates). Majority seem to be thinking long term support here... Don't think I've seen a sub that can be updated before!Items IncludedSoundbar, subwoofer, remote, power cable, RCA cable, 2x wall mount brackets, screws and wall anchors. All accessories are quality. An RCA aka phono cable is included, which is a nice touch. The remote is nicely balanced and ergonomic. Buttons are super clicky, a real joy to use.Setup/UseabilityThis was super easy. Plugged the soundbar into the mains. Connected the optical cable. Plugged the subwoofer into the mains. Turned on the soundbar, it came to life and automatically connected to the subwoofer. Brilliant! No messing about to connect the sub. Even the TV and Sky remote could control the volume out of the box; no codes to mess about with here! This is plug and play baby!!Initial UseI was a little underwhelmed by the initial performance. Don't get me wrong, it was great quality, but it felt flat. Perfect for music, but it just didn't have the energy required for TV watching. I adjusted the bass and treble settings, but it just sounded boxed in and nasally :(I decided to run the soundbar in. I left it playing music at a fairly loud level for a solid 8 hours.Sound was definetely better but still not quite there.I gave in and decided to go online and look at the instruction manual. This was so easy by the way and the manual is well written, clear and concise! Aparently Dolby Atmos can only be experienced over the HDMI interface. I plugged in the Sky 1TB box and enabled the settings on the Sky box.My god was I blown away. A complete transformation. AND this was without Dolby Atmos content!!That boxed in and nasally output completely disappeared. The sound was bright, open and gave a real sense of space. Let's get into the technical details:Sound QualityMajority have spent some real time on tuning the preset EQs. There are four in total; Music, News, Movies and 3D. Thankfully the overkill rock, pop, dance, hip/hop EQs doesn't exist here and all the better for it (god that was 90's!). Each one is tuned perfectly to what you are viewing, only a single press of the button is required. You can also tweak bass and treble to your liking directly on the remote. Typical Majority, clear and straightforward.The surround 3D preset is very effective at creating realistic surround effects when watching TV or movies. Even if you aren't watching Dolby atmos content, this setting is superb at tricking your senses into thinking there are surround speakers around the room. I literally sat there, glued to the TV wanting to try more and more content.Switching to Dolby Atmos content, I noticed the soundbar recognised this when Dolby Atmos was scrolling on the soundbar display. The clarity and realism of sounds is bonkers, I felt like the sounds were surrounding me. Its like from going Standard Definition TV to 4K for your ears.Watching Kobra Kai, you can feel the punches/kicks during a flight scene with subwoofer delivering some very low frequencies with real gusto. Yet the system can also handle the highs from quiet scenes with clarity I have not experienced at home. Something like a door handle being opened or sausages sizzling on a BBQ sound just like the real thing.This soundbar isn't a one trick pony either. It handles music with serious aplomb. I listen to all types of genres, and everything sounded brilliant. From the fast beats of dance music, to slow deep reggae, to the delicate and energetic nature of classical music, everything was delivered perfectly.I recommend the music EQ here because it is likely how the music artist intended it to sound; balanced.I tried the 3D setting for music and this was really fun. Emulating surround sound, it felt like I was there listening to the music live. Sound comes from all directions. Vocals felt like they were coming from the front and instruments came from all around, even above. You can almost make each individual instrument. An absolute aural orgasm.Listening to some classical music (Spring 1), you can really appreciate the fantastic separation from each of the channels on this soundbar. You can hear left and right channels working independantly, and the two upward firing channels providing a sense of space that you can not imagine.The 3D EQ starts to show its limits at high volume settings 20+, specifically with music with vocals. You begin to hear some processing in the vocals. However, keep the volume under 20 and it is fine.Oh, let's not forget about the subwoofer.....this is ridiculously powerful. A wolf in sheep's clothing. It provides that bum shaking rumble when watching films. You can really feel it resonate through your backside and into your chest.If powerful bass isn't your thing, levels can easily be adjusted. A tip.. The news mode reduces the bass output considerably, so this might be useful for late night watching. If you want super stealth mode, you can even turn off the wolf at the mains, the soundbar continues to deliver quality audio.You can really push the volume up to uncomfortable levels, however the soundbar and sub both stay composed with no distortion or noticeable clipping. Only past volume level 30 do the soundbar and sub become a little unbalanced in their frequency crossover, but I think listening past this level will be uncomfortable for many!Some poor quality drivers can only deliver quality in a narrow band e.g. sitting directly in front. Thankfully Majority seem to have specified higher quality drivers here. Sound quality stays consistent in a 140deg field in front of the soundbar. Perfect for covering multiple bums in various seats.Unfortunately nothing can be perfect and this leads me onto some negatives.The LCD display behind the grill can't be turned off. It does dim down to a perfectly acceptable level, but would be nice to have the option to turn it off. It also remains on in standby displaying " - - ". Maybe a future update might sort this?The height of the soundbar is 81mm. If your TV is low lying (Sony and LG!) and sat on a bench, you may find it obscures the view slightly if placed in front of the TV. This was the case for me, but I am due to wall mount my TV, so this won't be an issue.The subwoofer can struggle a little with its tightness and control when listening to music with a fast succession of beats at high volume levels of 25+. However, I don't think many will even notice this, and considering that the subwoofer is tuned perfectly for TV/Film content, this would be asking for too much.SummaryI have used this soundbar daily for the last 18 days (since the 2nd Jan 2022) and I absolutely love it.I have put it through it paces both with visual content and also hours earth shattering music; it keeps on delivering. I switched back to the old sound bar as a comparison, and there is none. The old £500 soundbar has been given away. Yes there are a few niggles, but this is nit picking in what I think is otherwise a well rounded and phenomenal audio product. You will not be dissapointed. Majority should be proud of what they've accomplished here, especially at this price point. I would snap one up before Majority realise they've got the price wrong on this one. Thumbs up! 5/5!

Firstly the pros.It sounds really great. You won't be disappointed with the way it sounds. When the source is a Dolby Atmos title, the sound quality is incredible. It's important to manage expectations with respect to how sounds will bounce around your room to create a surround sound stage effect. A single bar will not be as effective as a true surround setup with multiple physical satellite speakers. The trade-off is simplicity of the system though. Having said that, I can't imagine that any other similar soundcard + subwoofer combo could perform better than this. The audio is absolutely crystal clear. The bass is tight and without a hint of distortion. Overall when watching an Atmos movie, a soundstage is projected that is immersive and room filling without sounding echoey or processed. You really won't be disappointed with how it sounds. It's really very, very good.The system is also easy to connect. The subwoofer connected out of the box without having to do anything. A single HDMI cable connects the TV to the soundbar HDMi (ARC) socket and that's it. ARC also allows the TV remote to control the soundbar audio as a bonus. The build looks as feels like quality so you are unlikely to be disappointed with this.Other reviews reported that the LED display didn't switch off. Happily, this isn't the case. The LED indicator goes off after about 8 seconds of changing the volume level. Important to not distract while viewing.Now the negatives. Really there's only one. I can see that other reviewers returned the product after failing to establish Atmos output. In actual fact, the soundbar is totally capable of reproducing Atmos. But to illustrate the issue, I can summarise my own experience. I spent far too long playing Dolby Atmos test videos directly from the YouTube app on my Android TV. I could not ever get the bar to display the Atmos indication. I changed every audio setting on my TV but just couldn't get it to show. It was only some time later that I found out from a forum, that the YouTube app does not output Dolby Atmos, no matter the video title. Once I was aware of this, I was able to move on and did indeed get Atmos payback from multiple titles via other apps. This is not a fault of the system though, rather a limitation of YouTube. However, the instruction manual is very poor with respect to how the Atmos signal is carried. Some of the text appears to be a poor translation that is often contradictory and sometimes impossible to decipher. For example, it seems to say that Atmos can't be carried via the HDMI ARC socket or optical input. However it does in fact work fine via the HDMI ARC socket.The second aspect of this is that the words 'Dolby Atmos' are supposed to scroll across the front when an Atmos title starts playing. In reality, usually nothing displays at all. This is probably by design to minimise distraction during viewing. But if there was a button on the remote that would briefly force the displaying of the input format, it would make troubleshooting so much easier than working in the dark. I found a workaround though. If you bump the volume +/- 1 notch, that will cause the display to illuminate. Then when you start playback, the input format will display briefly 'Dolby Atmos', 'Dolby Surround' etc. It's not ideal but it helps. The good news is that you should only have to verify this one time to be sure your playback device has the correct settings to pass Atmos. After that won't be an issue. In fact it's probably best to not display this at every start of playback because it would become distracting.I haven't deducted a star despite the issue with the manual and lack of a button to display the playback audio format because these don't affect everyday enjoyment of the system once setup. As a system, it does an incredible job of reproducing a full on cinema audio experience. You won't find another soundbar with up firing Atmos drivers at this price point.

(notable update. I really can't figure out why a wireless sub is good - for the consumer. it still. needs. a. cable. and rather than a routable audio cable, it's now a chunky mains cable. also if you want to disconnect the sub, rather than just pulling the wire out of the soundbar, you need to unplug the sub from the mains. I can't see any advantage (for the end user) of this. maybe it has some for the manufacturer - and I can't see that it would be cost, because mains cable costs more than audio cable. doesn't it? plus a wireless sub will introduce some sort of lag. the only I can think of is that customers were mixing and matching subs to soundbars and damaging either the sub or the soundbar)I've realised a possible reason for the wireless. a wired soundbar with standard audio leads would have to have the sub amp within the soundbar. a wireless sub has the amp within the sub. so if the soundbar is a standalone product, a sub amp is needless (£) circuitry within the soundbar. so it isn't really for your benefit. actually another reason - audio cables can pick up interferenceto note, those flutes on the side? as far as I can tell they arent ports, just plastic shapes (so this means the majority could actually be about 8cm shorter - which would be a significant space saving)pre ambleI view soundbars as being for movies and television - I don't use them for music. soundbars for me are for a clear voice, and some bass thumps and resonance, but they don't have an open low/mid range for music. in the same way, my music speakers are slightly too boomy for speech - hence a soundbar. I'll give a maximum of 4 stars, because let's face it, do you pay any attention to the 5 star ratings?I only use them with the computer as the source (computer -> hdmi -> tv -> optical -> soundbar), so I always have an EQ for tweaking frequencies, and usually VLC player so I can change image/sound latency etc, which I find necessary for bluetooth which has a small delay. I prefer not using bluetooth because I have read (choose your favourite (un)official source) that the sound signal gets compressed/uncompressed as it is sent to a bluetooth device.my main spec for a soundbar is good quality of sound at low volumes, I rarely blast them. I want it to sound nice (speech, mids, bass), and not to be heard next door. I ended up trialling the Denon S316, the majority sierra plus, the JBL bar 2.1 deep bass mk2 and threw in the ultimea n50 for good measure.media tested:start of a new hope, Star destroyer overhead (brass instrument music, laser sounds, bass rumble)blade runner 2049, craft flying scene 12 mins in (rich bass music and thumps)matrix, some speech scenes and lobby fight (speech clarity/fullness and music/high pitched gun effects or booms)one or two random news interviews containing standard speech20Hz-20kHz sweep youtube videoStereo media tested only, I can't comment on Dolby effectssummary of audio:Denon £170 approx amazon - best for a warm/soft sound. slightly lacking in high end clarity (needs the EQ). speech sounds more natural at lower/medium volumes. subwoofer is reasonable. needs the EQ to take speech to the treble/clarity levels of the other twoMajority £160 approx amazon - at low volumes slightly tinny (but clear) speech. at higher volumes speech seems less tinny and more rounded. subwoofer is bassy and addictiveJBL £230 approx, different seller - for a brand name I was disappointed. very tinny speech. subwoofer is reasonable, better than denon but not as good as majority. I wonder if the tinny soundbar which may lack low to mids, causes the sub to sound more pronounced, hence the "deep bass" name. I'm not sure if this is end of lineultimea £110 approx amazon - very plucky contender. doesn't have the sound depth of the other 3, but for £110 is good value. reasonable for voice and has an amount of depth from the subsummary of useability:Denon - has the worst control indication. it's just 5 LED's on the front, no indication of status of features. remote is full featured but has unpleasent squidgy buttons. when you change a setting, no indication of what has changed, just the blink of an LED on the front. has a complicated LED-combo system to tell you what the current setting is, you'll need the manual to decipherI emailed Denon about their sound settings (because the display doesn't tell you) and while Denon were extremely helpful, there was still some ambiguity about the settings. I *think* what they said was, upon factory switch on, a default setting is active (not movie night or music) and a default dialog setting is active (not 1/2/3). once you activate any of both of the 3, the only way to revert to either 4th default setting is a factory reset.Majority - has a good front display which tells you everything. remote is full featured and has nice buttonsJBL - same sort of front display as the majority. remote has decent buttons but has very basic featuresultimea - again same display as majority/JBL. remote has nice buttons and is fairly full featured"could it be that a non brand name wants to impress with features?"For my base line spec of a warm sound at quiet volume levels, the Denon suits best. that's at the cost of having a poor control display. as other people have said, needs treble EQ to boost voice clarity. the ultimea also serves as a compact system with speech with serviceable bass. the majority has addictive bass and I noticed things from the majority sub that I didn't notice with the others. at low volumes the majority bar is tinny (but clear), at higher volumes sounds slightly fuller/less tinny. the JBL has very few redeeming features to be honest. it isn't the best bass, the speech is shrill, the remote isn't full featured. in fact the only redeeming feature of the JBL is the control display. it's worth pointing out, if you're hard of hearing, the JBL might in fact be better. part of a soundsystem means that you can in principle make sound "more hearable" than the real thing - reproducing absolute natural might not be your goal.I think it's worth saying that all of these soundbar+sub combos probably lack open low-to-mids. they're all for speech with bass effects. I can tell you that because my edifier R1280DB's have open low mids. and aren't very good for speech - too boomy. other minor things - the ultimea volume buttons are up down, but the bass buttons are left/right. slightly un intuitive.the three bigger products have wireless subs. why?? you still need a wire! you're just exchanging a routable/malleable audio wire for a heavy duty mains cable. the only reason I can think is so you can't mix and match subs from other systems....which is a pity, to be honest. plus not only that - the majority sub doesn't have a figure 8, it's hardwired. the denon's sparse information display and squidgy buttons is compounded by the fact that the LED's take 1-2 seconds after you've pressed the remote buttons to blink in acknowledgement that the button has been pressed.thankfully all of the 3 more expensive soundbars have the buttons on the top in the middle. the ultimea has them hidden at the end of the bar on the right. I don't know why. "you get convenient buttons only if you pay more"? I still prefer a rotary volume control and not +/- buttons. they all have +/- buttonsI also did a 20Hz-20kHz sweep from a youtube video (all at flat response). The majority was the only one that gave the "lorry driving past furniture buzzing effect" at sub-100Hz. I'm sure you could EQ the majority if you wanted less sub resonance. The JBL had possibly slightly more "controlled" bass. The Denon was possibly less than the other two (because of a physically smaller sub enclosure) but acceptable.The JBL had quite a weak midrange (200-800Hz) and quite shrill higher (4.5kHz). for the Majority higher frequencies were less "painful" - fewer shrill resonant points than the JBL. The Denon probably had least clear mids and highers (or more "natural/soft" speech if you want) and would probably need EQ to boost above 1.5kHz.The JBL had some almost painful resonant upper frequencies (4.5kHz), with the Denon being "smoother" (and needing EQ above 1.5kHz). the Majority was stronger around the 500Hz mark than the JBL, which might explain why the JBL sounded markedly tinnier (as in, the JBL had less at the 500Hz midrange)Denon good for "natural smoothness", Majority better for clarity, JBL possibly for your average interview with a man on the street for the news or Coronation streetthe JBL will be going back. I'd never forgive myself for returning the "soft/warm" Denon, and the majority bass is addictive with the soundbar improving at louder volumes. the ultimea is also a good little piece of kit. I need to say the Ultimea was respectable at £110. if you are comparing the Ultimea at £150 with the other two at ~£160, I'd choose either of the other two.I'll also say the Majority Atlas soundbar at £30 is decent (not extensively tested) - the only thing I don't like about it is that it talks to you when you switch it on - and switching it off sets the volume to 0 (no separate power button)All of these 5 is best, except tinnyness where 5 is most tinny (or most clear/sharp/shrill speech)________________remote button features remote buttons display sound qual bass clarity tinnyness________________response_______________clickyness_____________(warmness)Majority________5_____________5________5______________5_______3.5_________5_____4.5____3.5Denon__________3_____________4________2______________1_______4.5_________3.5___4______2JBL_____________5_____________2________3______________5_______2.5_________4.5___5______5Ultimea_________4_____________5________5______________5_______4___________3_____4______3

Sit down - get a cuppa this is a long one...(For a summary scoot down to the bottom)Firstly - Be in to get this delivered - its a beast of a box (the picture shows it) but its very sympathetically packaged. Give yourself some time to get the feel of it.. you won’t set this up in 5 mins - it’s not hard just requires thought.We set it up in the kitchen first to give it a try. (Hence the tea cosy backdrop!)Plugged in...and it wakes up with a nice Welcome message - takes about 10-12 secs to wake up fully.The Wireless Subwoofer was a dream - turn on... and it connected seamlessly (Top marks!)On the back is ARC, HDMI1 and HDMI2 - Now this was extremely important for us (more later)Its a big bar.. its almost 50mm high and my Sony TV has a low profile... so I had to create a foot for the back of the TV to make it stand above it.. That’s not a negative.The unit comes with mounting brackets for a wall - nice touch.Initial test with Bluetooth.. Blimey!!! I love my music and enjoy Vinyl still so I have a bit of an ear for good. So we were playing 320Kb/s MP3sIt resolved Sting's "Fragile" really well - all the instruments and there is a subtle bass note that is just "there" - cant explain it other than just beautifully resolved.Jimmy Buffets "Its 5 o’clock somewhere" had us rocking around the kitchen in search of a cool beer! WOWOnward to install.Now take your time here - There are no optical or HDMI cables* included which is a shame but easily resolved.The back of the unit has the necessary inputs (picture) - SO hooked the TV HDMI1(ARC) to ARC port. Now heres the good bit.. I plugged my BT TV Hard Drive recorder box into HDMI1 - and the relatively cheap Samsung Blu-ray player to HDMI2 - WELL this works for me!Away we go. Takes a few mins to work this through - TV can use the ARC, The BT box press HDMI1 and Bluray HDMI 2The Subwoofer is close the other side of the room (still experimenting) but as its wireless so long as its near a power socket its no issue.Sound from standard TV the sound is rich, full - my partner who used to struggle a lot with film sounds rarely uses the subtitles now except for badly mixed ones.The reason for the review title - We were watching the BBC series "The Tourist" - and in one episode a cafe unexpectedly blew up.. And we both jumped - and looked at each other and said "wow".To start with my experience with the Blu-ray player was poor - but then I twigged "Have I got the sound output right" as there are multiple streams both in the disc AND the player.Selecting Atmos stream in Game of Thrones made no difference UNTIL I tweaked the settings in the PHYSICAL player itself from just a basic output to a more native one and let the bar do the work.Powered up GoT Season 5 disk 1 that has an ATMOS intro. - ATMOS Scrolled across the soundbar for a moment - so I knew we were getting the right stream..The only words are AWESOME. For such a relatively wallet friendly bar this just blew us away again. Its powerful and fills the room - some of the battle scenes are almost brutal! And I've got a series of discs lined up to test... Star wars etc etcI popped in Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds in Concert 2006 - and my wife came in and said "That sounds amazing".. SO its a BIG TICK!In summary -PROS - its amazing... its big, its meaty and it resolves sounds really really well. Fully functional, looks lovely sounds awesome and integrates wellCons - the manual is online (green!) but a bit basic - and there is no optical or HDMI* cable.* I will admit my HDMI I used came from £1land... and it works!So my honest opinion is that it will be a firm favourite in the house. The Atmos sound is pretty incredible as those disks/sources become more available I think we will reap the benefits more and more.WELL DONE Majority for a well presented, entertaining and special product. You have my vote -For those of you thinking about it - I would really consider this as a good alternative to some of the other extreme priced ATMOS bars.June 2023 - updateSTILL loving this device - its part of our listening chemistry.And now we have enabled the Dolby Surround on the BT TV box - its just a DREAM to listen to.I'd endorse this product every day.

I bought this in order to compliment my new LG OLED Dolby Atmos TV. In short, the one feature that was lacking was the provision of Dolby Atmos surround sound, which ultimately caused me to return this product.The sound is certainly substantial in my opinion, but I quickly realised that 400 watts of RMS power was too much for my space. This would have been somewhat acceptable had I have been able to hear Atmos sound at a relatively low volume, but I had to crank up the volume in order for the up-firing drivers to be able to bounce sufficient sound off my ceiling. Even then, the result, as far as ATMOS goes, as opposed to just surround or 'echoey' sound, was pretty poor to say the least. I was ultimately disappointed. However, for the £229 that I paid for this, had I have simply wanted a decent soundbar with subwoofer, this would have more than been sufficient and good value for money.Another nail in this soundbar's coffin, at least from my experience of course, came from the fact that this soundbar negates any sound settings that you may wish to use on your TV. I'd already known this, if I recall, from reviews I'd read before purchase, but after trying out the soundbar, I realised how much I actually liked to use the LG's AI Sound Pro setting and technology which allegedly 'intelligently' adjusts the outputted sound setting depending upon the input signal and genre, etc. I generally did enjoy the generic sound that this setting gave me, without having to keep switching setting depending on what I was inputting. However, as already mentioned, this Majority soundbar nullifies whatever the TV has set and overrides it with its own single setting, which SHOULD, at least, include Dolby Atmos sound... especially when the words "Dolby Atmos" are proudly displayed and promoted on the front-right of the soundbar!In order for me to have decided to keep this soundbar, I should at least have sunken to a sound-starved low every time I switched from 'HDMI out' to 'TV speaker' mode, but I simply didn't. My Dolby Atmos TV has four built-in 10 watt drivers and these were comparatively, even surprisingly good, especially as I cranked up the volume more and more, which is exactly what I had to do with the Majority sounbar in order to get any kind of 'surround sound' experience. However, once I'd witnessed that the surround sound being produced by my TV alone was 'better', at least to my non audio-expert ears, I'd pretty much decided that this £229 outlay was effectively wasted on a product promoting Dolby Atmos surround sound. Another important point to note here is that, as per the soundbar's manual, the words "Dolby Atmos" should scroll across the display once a similar signal is detected. After clearly inputting one Dolby Atmos signal after another from my Netflix 4K account and via my Dolby Atmos TV, NOT ONCE, according to both display and sound, was the signal recognised by Majority's soundbar as being a Dolby Atmos one. This was a killer blow for this soundbar, which didn't recover from this knockout punch. I mean, if the manual clearly states THIS, but you get NOTHING, that ain't good salesmanship and can't possibly help to persuade the wise and detail-oriented buyer (me) that this is even a good-value Dolby Atmos sound system.I am fully aware, from my research, that the Majority Sierra 2.1.2 400 W soundbar and subwoofer is the company's first 'attempt' (a very accurate word IMHO) at designing and building a Dolby Atmos-supporting soundbar. Had they omitted, in hindsight of course, every mention of "Dolby Atmos" from their advertising, and definitely decided NOT to clearly display the same words on the front of the soundbar, then I feel that the Sierra would probably sell better, and would better serve and satisfy people who are looking to buy a good-value, 400-watt soundbar and subwoofer. In this consideration, the system would be hard to beat! But, I bought the Majority Sierra as a Dolby Atmos-enhancing sound system, according to its promotion, but it failed. Even YouTube reviews of this product, I noted, did not show the displaying of the words "Dolby Atmos" scrolling on the soundbar, so were also poor in their attempt to promote this system is a Dolby Atmos one! The very words "Dolby Atmos" should not be confused with merely "surround sound" and definitely not with "echoey sound".In conclusion to my non-expert review of this product, it should be noted that I personally feel that the Majority Sierra 2.1.2 400 Watt Dolby Atmos Soundbar / Wireless Subwoofer does not perform as a Dolby Atmos sound system. I do, however, feel that it performs very well as a 400 Watt sound system for its price... but you don't generally buy a branded product (Dolby Atmos) if you're not interested in that branding! I feel somewhat disappointed in the British company that Majority is that tried to or did produce a Dolby Atmos soundbar at the RRP price of £299. Yes, they are undercutting the majority (no pun untended) of their competition, BUT to the detriment, in my opinion, of Dolby Atmos sound output! In this respect then, I feel that the company is deceiving, or even hoping to deceive, their intended customer base regarding the promotion of this product. I hereby apologise in advance to Majority for my outspoken thoughts, but I have good ears and they do not lie to me. After all, I am a customer - and a technical one at that (electronics trained) - and yet I was left dissatisfied and disappointed with this product which, in my entitled opinion as a reviewing customer, did not hold true to what it should be promoting and therefore what it should be capable of... Dolby Atmos. I think I have hammered my point home enough.If you, a potential customer considering the Majority Sierra, do not expect nor have a need for Dolby Atmos-producing sound output, but instead want a value-for-money, 400 Watt soundbar and wireless subwoofer with a quality build... yes, a good quality build in metal, then the Sierra just might be what you are looking for. If you want a Dolby Atmos-producing soundbar and subwoofer, I personally advise you to extend your budget and consider other Dolby Atmos-capable systems which also come from companies with more years of experience in this area of design and manufacture. I personally feel that I let my new OLED Dolby Atmos TV down by considering pairing it with Majority's 'flagship' model. Maybe this product is currently being offered at a whopping 23% discount (£229) for an obvious reason, maybe not. This will be a bargain for some, maybe most, but a likely disappointment for the specific and knowledgeable buyers. Finally, as a proud Brit, I sincerely wish Cambridge-based Majority all the best for their future designs, products... and their marketing strategies.
