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. On the side of the soundbar, you have some controls just in case that remote goes missing and you want to still use the soundbar. You have the following buttons: 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. 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. 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.
Hands-on review: Majority Audio soundbars | E+T Magazine
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.
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. 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. So, step up the Majority Audio Snowdon II, a soundbar from the Cambridge-based company that’s a cheaper, less spectacular offering than its Dolby Atmos Sierra Plus model. There’s no mention of Dolby or DTS audio; the briefest glimpse into any audio support is the mention of switching the audio (in your TV’s settings) to PCM. With Music and Flat presets, EQ is enabled, and music can be adjusted from 0dB to 8dB and Flat from -8dB to 8dB. Flat is also the button to press to reset all EQ adjustments. Sound Quality
TV Soundbar | Snowdon | Built in Subwoofer - Majority
You are given a small remote control to allow you to adjust the treble and bass and you can also switch between the following customised equaliser settings – Music, Movie or Dialog.The only reason I can see people being put off this speaker is if you want a better quality of sound but that is also paired with a higher price tag. The other reason is the fact this speaker won’t be able to link up to your smart home so no Alexa or Google but considering the price of the Snowdon II it’s hardly surprising.
Majority Snowdon II Soundbar Review - Value for Money but
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.The names of the DSP modes betray the fact that the Snowdon II is designed as a TV soundbar which doubles as an impressive Bluetooth speaker, whereas the Bowfell is a cheap Bluetooth speaker that can give your TV or laptop sound a boost. The Snowdon II is affordable enough that it’s the better buy, unless you need the compact size of the Bowfell – for example in a student bedroom or to boost laptop, rather than TV, sound. Some are more than happy to settle for a simple bar that improves the sound of their TV. Just how well does the Snowdon II achieve that goal? Here’s my verdict. Design 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. 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.
