Experts reviewers love the neutral sound profile and loud output of the Bowers and Wilkins Formation Bar, endorsing it for TV dialogue and music. Tests reveal a neutral sound profile and PCMag says it produces natural-sounding music.
Reviewers at RTINGS adore its remarkably high sound output, saying that it gets loud enough to fill large rooms. Bass and treble adjustment features help users fine-tune the sound, and has mobile apps for controlling settings remotely.
However, experts bemoan its measly connector options, although this soundbar makes up for that with its generous range of wireless connectivity options.
It also has pretty high latency, so, there’s a minor delay between the video and audio feeds. Although it has a discrete three-channel profile, it has a poor 5.1 surround soundstage, downmixing it to stereo, and doesn’t support Dolby Atmos.
It lacks a dedicated subwoofer, producing poor extended low bass, so it’s not the best for EDM music.
The system lacks sound enhancement features, and enthusiasts who need dialogue enhancement should see our Bose TV Speaker review today.
