With an impressive 120W speaker and a built-in subwoofer, the Snowdon provides an audio experience that cannot be provided alone from your television. Also, one end of the Bowfell is used for circuitry, so the right-hand speaker isn’t even at the end. 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.

Majority Snowdon II Soundbar Review - Value for Money but

The Majority Snowdon II doesn’t try anything fancy and in terms of improving a TV’s audio on a budget it’s a convincing upgrade. For example, have two wireless speakers elsewhere in the house and then bring them to the back of the living room for movie night surround sound. We put it through its paces with some Skrillex and it filled the room with party-worthy bass that made the phone’s half-decent sound seem beneath contempt. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. The RCA cable supplied for analogue input from the TV connect to these and there’s an optical in for digital, too.

Strangely, turning the soundbar off can lead to the TCL Roku it was connected to turning off as well, which you might think is handy until you turn the TV on first and then turn it off again after powering up the soundbar. The design of the Snowdon lends itself better to being wall-mounted or sitting beneath a wall-mounted TV. Around the back are RCA and optical digital inputs, with a line-in positioned on the Snowdon’s side. When it comes to gaming, a play of Gran Turismo 7 on the PS5 doesn’t sound as shrill at higher volumes as the Groov-e.

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. Alternatively, you can connect your device via the AUX port and play music directly from an MP3 player or audio device.
