Buy new and not buy old - Sony Sony CT790 audio out of the box evaluation

Since the 412 soundbar at home was broken in July, it basically did not see the movie. The reason is very simple. There is no good sound at home. No matter how big the TV is, there is no feeling of it, so we have been buying it again. Set of audio. Tianlong DHT-S412 Before this, first talk about broken Dragon 412, this soundbar's price is still very good, spent a year, directly enhance the viewing experience. But the overall workmanship, to be honest, is still relatively rough. The easiest way to determine the quality of an electronic product is to look at the product's buttons and remote control. Do not believe you can compare horizontally, sony, lg, millet, Denon, apple tv these remote control use experience. Here's a remote control that spits out about the millet box. It's almost a remote control I used to feel bad. The 412 has a surround, heavy bass, but from audible point of view, it has always felt particularly twisted, or voice is very "false." JBL STV106 New JBL CINEMA STV106 Echo Wall TV stereo wireless Bluetooth living room speakers home audio 999 yuan JBL is the world's leading professional speaker brand, products in both professional and civilian areas have a good reputation.

Three sound modes, multi-port connection, support HDMI, fiber, AUX and automatic wake-up sleep energy-saving mode. Lynx Select Direct Links View encyclopedia Before entering SONY CT790, there was a JBL STV106. The reason for entering this box is simply that you don’t want to spend money, but you also want to improve the box of hearing, and the Tianlong 412 at the time did not have much money. But in reality, it is clear that this desire has not been reached. JBL STV106 is the new JBL low-end soundbar, although there is no subwoofer, but the interface is complete, hdmi arc, fiber, 3.5 headphone port, Bluetooth, remote control, automatic standby and other functions. A little surprise after opening the box is that the work is still very good, at least a lot more than my broken 412. But in reality, it sounded a little disappointment in an instant. In my daughter-in-law's words, "Isn't this bigger than TV sounds?" If you watch a movie, you really can hear more detail than the horn of the TV itself, but the overall sound field is too small, and the sound is not stereoscopic, like a plane. If you listen to music, it is obviously much better than watching a movie. Therefore, if the STV106 is used as a home theater, it is still far from the degree of improvement. However, as a PC speaker, it is actually quite good, so it was later dropped. The buddy who received the goods was also used by the user under the monitor as a computer audio. In addition, when it comes to a small detail, the process of the Tianlong 412 crash is gradual. First, hdmi, then optical fiber. I place my final hope on the analog audio interface, but after plugging in, there is a lot of current, fundamentally. There is no way to listen. Then, I connected Xiaomi Bluetooth Audio 3.5 to the TV, still there is a lot of current sound, for this reason I did not consider the 3.5 interface when selecting the speaker. But when I tested the JBL STV106's 3.5 interface, I didn't have a complete sound of current. No matter if it was muted or the sound was very loud, JBL's quality was quite good. SONY CT790 Sony (SONY) HT-CT790 audio speakers home theater TV audio support 3D 4K Bluetooth wireless subwoofer surround sound echo wall black 3099 yuan Jingdong direct link Before choosing the CT790, I always wanted to buy the JBL STV350. At the time, I thought I was too expensive to buy the STV106. There are also several options: Jayce R-4B, SONY CT390, SONY CT780, Xiaomi Home Theater, etc. - Jayce R-4B: No choice is the main one is not to support hdmi arc, only fiber and analog; - SONY CT390: Some reviews have said that although it is new, there is still a certain gap with the CT790; - SONY CT780: It's an old model. Electronic products do not buy new ones. They are only 200 cheaper than ct790. - Xiaomi Home Theater: This is Xiaomi's new audio system. In fact, I noticed when Xiaomi TV's 3s cinema version was released. I also wanted to sell it separately. The price of 1999, the real surrounding 5.1, and SONY RT5's program, but the SONY RT5's price to nearly 5000 faster, so it really attractive. However, this audio system has not yet been formally developed and purchased. There is no detailed evaluation at all. Therefore, quality is really difficult to judge. So I exhausted the power of the predicament and finally found some millet TV 3s theater version user feedback in the millet forum. Discovered a variety of Tucao: rear surround speakers have no sound; rear surround speakers can not connect; subwoofer is like playing the sound of hammering the floor; put the movie is normal but the concert has noise, etc., comes down to a core problem is No quality control. So take the decision PASS. weight What is a good speaker? I think the simplest layman is the weight, good speakers will certainly be heavier, because the speaker's main component is the cabinet and speaker, so the overall weight of the speaker, it means that the cabinet and the speaker weight. Compare it below work The overall workmanship is quite fine, whether it is the box or the remote control, the consistent Dafa standard; the film The effect is quite shocking, and the voice has a strong sense of presence. My living room is 20 square meters and can fill the entire space. Bass is very elastic. The details of the sound are also very layered. When watching “Western World”, there was even a very low electronic background music to set off the atmosphere. It was originally not noticed when watching with a TV stereo. music As a top fever certainly lacks, but as a home audio is enough, and the Bluetooth connection time is convenient, the TV can also display the song is playing, the remote control can also be tentatively fixed, on a song, the next song control. TV If a news program that begins to put on a television station may not be as good as a TV, it is mainly because SONY can recognize the sound and deliberately lower the bass of such programs, while enhancing the clarity of the language. Listening to the habit is not bad. interface Hdmi arc, 3.5, Bluetooth, fiber all have. And there can also be 3 HDMI interfaces, which can be transformed into HDMI hubs. It is really a great gospel for home devices. (PS: I also bought an independent hdmi hub when I had the most equipment, then connected, millet box, xbox360, apple tv, arc stereo, HD set-top box.....) system Different from the general soundbar, the CT790 is equipped with an operating system, which can be used for audio setup, hdmi switching, and music playback. At the same time, there is also a mobile app that can interact with the audio. parameter - soundbar power: 50w+50w - Subwoofer: 50w - wifi: Support 5g - Bluetooth: 4.1 - Music format: support ape, flac lossless Another special note is that if you use the ctmi hdmi input, then you can support LPCM 5.1, LPCM 7.1, but if it is directly connected to the HDMI interface will not support. to sum up SONY CT790 I think at the same price, if you count with the TV, hdmi hub, output interface these are almost the only optimal choice.
