In this part of the video, the narrator discusses the advantages of using an external soundboard over a TV’s built-in speakers. They highlight that TVs typically have downward-firing speakers that aren’t very loud and get distorted with heavy bass. In particular, the Sony X90L’s built-in speakers are better but still not ideal for a full movie experience. Therefore, upgrading to an external sound bar, like the Bar 700, which provides sufficient volume and better sound quality, is recommended for optimal audio performance in a large living room.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the JBL Bar 700 surround sound system, emphasizing its powerful bass and suitability for living room entertainment. They note that the external subwoofer, the same as the JBL Bar 500’s, can physically shake walls but may sometimes produce muddy or insufficient bass. Adjustments can be made, but excessive bass can obscure vocals. The 700 model features balanced sound quality with improved left-to-right channel separation compared to the 500 and 300 models, and includes detachable satellite speakers that may require recalibration for optimal performance. Battery level indications for these speakers are limited to a front indicator light, with no app support. The system is praised for its ease of setup due to wireless components and notable value for money, despite its large subwoofer needing adequate space. The convenience of a fuss-free surround sound setup is highlighted, even though external satellite speakers often require power wiring.
