MAJORITY Snowdon II Sound bar for TV | 120 WATTS with 2.1 Channel Sound | Soundbar with Subwoofer Built-in and Remote Control | Multi-Connection

Product Information

With an impressive 120W speaker and a built-in subwoofer, the Snowdon provides an audio experience that cannot be provided alone from your television. Tailor your audio between music, movie or dialogue and adjust treble and bass settings with the supplied remote to create a sound quality that makes any room feel cinematic. First impressions of the 2.1-channel Bowfell were that it’s surprisingly small at 72x388x54mm (HxWxD), so it’s nowhere near as wide as even a small TV. It’s also not designed to be wall-mounted: there are no fittings for this purpose. Instead, it’s designed to sit on a table in front of a smaller, stand-mounted TV. In front of any modern TV it will look rather small: it’s wider than most portable Bluetooth speakers, but not as wide as you’d expect a soundbar to be.

Majority Snowdon II Review | Trusted Reviews

Cheap can be shorthand for nasty where audio is concerned, but the Majority Snowdon II avoids that pitfall. There are strengths and weaknesses, but in terms of improving a flatscreen TV’s audio it’s a satisfactory win for the Snowdon II.Big, immersive sound from a slim bar. The JBL measures 58x614x90mm (HxWxD). Despite its size, it’s an all-in-one soundbar: you get a full and bass-rich sound without the need for a subwoofer. You can connect it to your TV via HDMI or optical. Alternatively, invest in a good-quality Bluetooth speaker for a music upgrade that can also work with a TV. This only has 3.5mm and Bluetooth inputs, but it’s rechargeable with a battery life of up to 30 hours for listening anywhere. The Swedish design is typically Scandi elegant - doubly so in limited edition lemon yellow. Switching to the Dialog preset minimises Movie Mode’s bassy register, though the Movie preset is ironically clearer and more natural in its delivery. Dialogue is also positioned well on the 55-inch screen the bar is partnered with, with treble clean and relatively sharply reproduced to be distinct from the rest of the frequency range. The Majority Snowdon II, much like the mountain in Wales it shares a name with, is a tall unit. At 8.3cm high it’s too big to sit in front of the majority (ahem) of TVs, obstructing the TV’s IR receiver. The Snowdon II offers an impressive 120W speaker and a built-in subwoofer which really does improve the audio quality and offer a close cinematic experience in your own home.

SNOWDON - Majority

Bass can be adjusted, but it doesn’t have much of an effect in either direction. I also noticed the angle of the speakers helped fire audio towards ear height, lifting the audio from the bar better than the Groov-e 160 soundbar could accomplish. We test every soundbar we review thoroughly over an extended period of time. We use industry standard tests to compare features properly. We’ll always tell you what we find. We never, ever, accept money to review a product. Size-wise the Snowdon II comes in 81cm in Leigh and 8.3 cm wide with a curved finish so this soundbar will fit nicely on your wall or TV cabinet. Weight-wise it’s just over a kilogram so it’s very lightweight. As part of this mission, whenever we review a product we send the company a series of questions to help us gauge and make transparent the impact the device has on the environment. While it delivers a punchy sound, if you’re expecting plenty of bass from its integrated subwoofer then the Snowdon is limited. Its firm dialogue delivery does incur some hardness, but it doesn’t overly upset the balance it’s going for.Soundbars of today feature plenty of fancy tech, but when we get a chance, we like to have a listen to more affordable efforts.

Majority Snowdon II Soundbar Review - Value for Money but

With 120W of power at its disposal the Majority makes a decent fist of the fight scenes in 2049, though the tussle between Sapper Morton and K doesn’t deliver the wallop and painful thuds as the similarly priced Groov-e 160 soundbar does. The display (or rather LED light) is in the top right-hand corner and changes colour depending on the input chosen (blue for Bluetooth, yellow for optical). That’s virtually all it can do with no means to even gauge how loud the Snowdon goes, which feels like an oversight.If you are like me who has just bought a brand new TV you might be looking for a soundbar to enhance the sound quality of your TV. There are main different brands available for a range of budgets. So how does it sound for a budget soundbar? If you’re looking for that surround sound experience the 120w speaker and built-in subwoofer will help. When watching something like Lord of the Rings the soundbar handles the low frequency sounds you get with a film and gives you that something extra. You get very little harmonic distortion and the wide frequency range also enhances the sound. (Make sure you use the optical cable if the TV the main reason for this Soundbar). Buttons on the remote mostly carry over to the bar, located on the right-hand side along with the auxiliary input, volume, source switching, Bluetooth pairing and power buttons. The remote features EQ customization of bass and treble, though this comes with a caveat that EQ is disabled for Dialog and Movie modes.
