After the terrible performance of the Aspect soundbar we didn’t hold out much hope for this soundbase, but our trepidation was misplaced – Base delivers a powerful, room-filling sound with a decent amount of detail, deep bass and an exciting tone. Its impressive power is evident when watching Pacific Rim on Blu-ray. As Gipsy Danger and Knifehead go toe-to-toe in the film’s opening Kaiju/Jaeger fight, the rumble of thunder is deep and solid, while the robot’s blaring foghorn sounds enormous. The sheer loudness and scale makes you feel involved in the action, even without the presence of surround processing or beam technology. And when the hulking beasts start thumping each other, you feel each blow viscerally.

Although described as B+, apart from the main box having been carefully opened the product looked new. Everything was unmarked and in sealed bags. All leads and accessories were present and correct. Despite the instructions saying that the Bluetooth wasn't compatible with smart TVs, it works well with my TV (Polaroid).

There are two different sound settings for horizontal and vertical placement, which are selected by holding down the Aspect button on the remote. The side LED flashes red three times in horizontal mode and blue for vertical. Goodmans Aspect – Performance AUX, OPTICAL, RCA, REMOTE CONTROLLED: Our sound bar has been designed with ease of use in mind - simply plug in, and play using the wide range of connections. Listen to your playlists straight from your phone through the latest Bluetooth technology - go truly wireless with our supplied remote control. And when the MUTO destroys a domino chain of airplanes, the explosions sound thin and strained, which is also the case when Godzilla thumps his foot on the ground and lets out a bellowing roar. You don’t get the deep, chest thumping impact that you do from other soundbars, and the promise of room-filling sound is left unfulfilled. Movies sound big and exciting. The speakers have enough puff to fill a large living room – even at two-thirds of maximum you might start annoying the neighbours – and when you push loudness to the upper echelons it stays composed, with only occasional signs of distortion. The subwoofers get a little boomy at loud volumes but nothing a fiddle with the bass controls can’t fix.

Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned.BUILT-IN SUBWOOFER: Delivering high definition sound, the Bluetooth stereo speakers fill the room with your favourite sounds using the provided remote control. Discover cinematic sound quality with this compact Sony HT-MT300 soundbar. Immersive surround sound and optimal bass from a wireless subwoofer deliver living room-filling sound. Switch to music via Bluetooth and you get more of the same – a punchy sound with a dynamic tone and agile bass. This well-balanced, fluid sound is much better than you might expect for the money, although other soundbases deliver a more sophisticated sound overall, with greater subtlety and insight. It’s also very attractive, wrapped in a dark grey cloth and capped by shiny silver panels at both ends. One of the panels sports a couple of hard buttons for power and source selection, plus touch-sensitive volume controls. There’s no display panel but the input button has a small light that glows different colours to denote the selected input. The remote is a slim, compact device with a spacious button layout. All of the keys are clearly labelled and the five input buttons are colour-coded to match the front LED. The important volume controls are bang in the middle and fall naturally under the thumb, while dedicated bass and treble controls are conveniently placed at the bottom. Goodmans Base – Performance

It also features Dirac HD Sound technology, which analyses and corrects colouration caused by the physical constraints of the cabinet. This is not a psychoacoustic ‘virtual surround’ effect but a sound correction technology that has been specifically tuned for this soundbase. STEREO SPEAKERS: With 2.1 Channel Sound, the Snowdon II offers a superior audio experience for any home theatre set-up. Base is a 4.2 sound system, with four speaker drivers along the front and two subwoofers on the bottom. Power output is quoted at 100W (4 x 10W and 2 x 20W). Unsurprisingly Aspect is light on features at this price, but it does boast built-in Bluetooth with NFC, which allows you to pair a compatible device by touching it on the bar.BLUETOOTH, EQ CONTROL, 5 AUDIO MODES: Our powerful 50 watt soundbar and speaker comes with various audio connections and an EQ feature to customize your audio to how you want it. Music, radio, gaming, movies, live sport.
