@ZesPak - Me too, see my comment, hopefully they will do a review as I think it will work from personal experience. Grab a tablet or Phone with speakers on the back, cup your hands around the sides as if to redirect the sound. It works at increasing the volume or redirecting the sound, not dramatically, but it does work.
@@TOM-C. I had made aluminum foil sound scoops for a tv that sent the sound out the lower back and right out the bedroom door into the hall. The scoops work great.
Yes, and in fact, go further: see if those directional flaps can work for different sound redirection applications, and if they can act as sound isolators in an capacity.
I recently installed the Nakamachi 9.2.4. Dolby ATMOS sound bar, and let me tell you, it is an amazing piece of equipment. The price is not that cheap, around 1300 US dollars, but for that price, it offers an amazing IMAX like type of experience. I would safely pit this setup against systems costing thousands of dollars more.
ive seen a 11.1.2 for the same price approx ... i just thought about how it sounds and it must be insane ... i got a 2.1 bar with dts x and dolby digital + its really amazing for few movies or shows i watch also have 7.1 dts:x headphones that included the decoder and dts headphone x and that sounds so good
Just bought my parents the 5.1 Vizio sound bar set. At first, the 2.1 speakers in the 65” Q70 were pretty good for a bedroom, but since it’s been warming up here in So Cal the fan and or AC muffles the sound causing them to up the volume to the max. I liked the Vizio SB3651-E6 because of its ARC function and the fact that the powered sub was wireless and also provided the signal and power for the surround speakers(and the price). I put the sub in the back corner of the room and put the surround speakers on their bed posts. The nightstands and headboard hide both speaker cables nicely. It also has an HDMI input which I ended up using for their 4K BD player. The end result is one remote to control their Spectrum DVR, TV, BD player and soundbar. It sounds pretty clear and loud and everything integrates with no issues. Makes self quarantine that much more comfortable.
You should absolutely review those pieces of plastic. I think it would be great to see it taken to the next level by pairing that with cheap TVs and very expensive ones alike.
I upgraded my entire living room a few weeks ago with a Sony A8H, and Z9F sound bar (With satellite speakers), and have never looked back! They replaced a Sony Bravia from 2008, 500 watt receiver, 1,000 watt sub amp, 2 HUGE front channel speakers, 2 ambient front speakers, and 2 rear channel speakers. Oh, plus, 90,000 feet of speaker wires... Now I have one HDMI cable, and the satellites are wireless. While it doesn't shake the house like my old system, it works perfectly, and has given me back my living room!
That stuff will work, I have a surface pro that has the speaker on the side, so if I put both my hands behind it and around the sound is close to twice the volume :D I even tried that with post-it's and it works, but do not expect any Dolby Surround effect hehe XD
I'd like to see a review of the sound scoops. They could be a good temporary solution for someone buying a new TV with a plan to get real speakers later.
PAPO1990 I'm using a "sound scoop" on my phone, with my hand, cupped over the speaker and redirecting sound towards the front. It actually improves sound quality a lot.
Yes definitely review that! I bet a bunch of people buy it and it doesn't really work that well LOL or it's going to work fantastic and be a total surprise haha 🤣
I have a radical solution fot the crappy sound of modern flat TVs, espacially the small ones (because there are still some decent sound on 43" screens and up). It's boycott. Don't buy their shit until they understand that sound is a main feature on a TV even if we don't think about sound when buying a screen, because we simply take it fot granted that no TV manufacturer would take the stupid risk to sell a TV featuring a walkman sound. But yet... they DID IT!!! And a sound bar is not a solution. They're all weak until you add a real subwoofer or an actual home cinema, which is not affordable for everyone who is looking for no more than a 32 inch screen. Well, as long as there's a unexplainable black hole between 32" and 40" which just make things worst for the former middle-class which is becoming as you might know, a lower middle class if not worst, these days.
I remember hooking up a pair of computer speakers when we got our first HDTV, it was an amazing improvement, seriously, we ended up getting the Sony HT CT 100 3.1 with HDMI pass through for 3 HDMI and that back in 2008 and that thing still sound fantastic.
Sound scoops have been used in marching bands for decades, so it's definitely worth the review. They are installed on the underside of snare/tenor drums.
I just use a powered 2.1 pc speaker setup plugged into the headphone jack on the tv and you can adjust the sound settings on the tv to your liking. Works great for me and I love having a sub woofer for better base.
Excellent review. Just went thru this process. Have a 32" Samsung smart tv no bluetooth for $250. Didn't want to buy a $600 Sonos speaker so went with a new Samsung HW-T400 40-Watt 2.0 Channel Sound Bar with only offering an optical audio jack to connect it and that cord you have to buy as it's not included. In the end, it totally does the job of getting that muffled sound aimed at the bottom of the TV counter and redirects it to ear level towards my face's audio processing equipment aka ears. It is so much better than what was coming out of my tv's speakers. The remote of the bar actually has a bass button and it does work but I don't need bass. I'm looking for clarity and crispness, page turning sounds, smacking of lips, crackling of wood sounds. Clean, crisp, clear. The bar is $100. Now the big test will be to watch something with an undercarriage of a music track and see if that blurs or distorts sound while people are talking or even not talking. There shouldn't be any vibration with that music track if the soundbar is decent enough. Stay turned. I really appreciate your frankness and directness with this subject of soundbars and tvs along with your touch of clever humor. That's my scene, man.
That is awesome idea ! should try to 3d print a better solution!! or make it some other horrible janky way ... like you probably will end doing anyway but if I was you I try to make one out some cardboard first, like cut a side out of a shoe box and then use the lid to make the curve inside the box and some tape Just saved you 20 bucks
5:15 - Uhh, I don’t know what you’re hearing, but those LG speakers sound fairly good. The Visio Soundbar comparison sounds more like the audio’s coming from your microphone and not from the sound bar itself.
As an audio engineer, I've been impressed by LG TV sound. They have a bit clearer, fuller mid/low range compared to other stuff on the market. LG engineers designing the products do good work
My first thought was “Linus I doubt EVERYONE is buying this speaker” I then looked to my right and realized the sound bar my parents bought is this bar
I purchased the Vizio family. TV, sound bar on a couple tvs , sub, 2 surround sound speakers in living room and Crave 360 speaker. The built in chrome cast is nice to pair all of them. I take the 360 speaker outside. It was all reasonably priced on sale around the Holidays. I’ve had it for 3 years now. Figure if it only lasts me another few more years I’ll be ok with it because by then I’m sure they’ll be out with the latest and greatest like Alexa or AirPlay which they’re starting to come out with now.
Scoops does increase the volume, you can try it with your phone or tablet. Just make your hand into a C and put it in front of the speaker. For me though I will go with a surround system for my TV.
Some notes from a loudspeaker nerd (manufacturer): 1) We actually don't want resonance inside the cabinet. The benefit of a larger cabinet is that as we get lower into the frequency band we don't get a raising impedance inside the cabinet (i.e. the cabinet itself starts back resonating into the driver constricting motion). This is due to the fact we need a quadrupling of excursion maximum per halving of frequency in a direct radiating device emanating a fully spherical wave (in an ideal loading situation, this only halves when the wave is planar). There are various methods to combat this raising impedance including a) having a massive cabinet b) porting c) complicated loading setups like transmission lines. To combat the resonance alone we deliberately dampen the cabinet with dampening materials. 2) A surround sound setup isn't considered strictly "audiophile" and instead is considered to be in the realm of "home theatre", though it can be. This is because the vast majority of program material is 2 channel only, which would require interpolation (and therefore some inherent distortion) across the extra speakers. Most extremely expensive/high end setups are stereo only for this reason, though it's entirely possible to do this in multi point, it's just becomes multiple times more expensive without increasing fidelity. 3) The gold standard of an audiophile system is to have someone stand in the dead centre of your front pair, and speak at you, then have that same speech played back in a recording. Can you hear the difference? Probably yes. If so, it's failed. In fact, there's very little that reaches this goal. It's certainly not something most manufacturers are focused on - they're focused on form, price, and euphony. That is dictated by wifes, husbands, room sizes, advertising and the laws of physics. Your demo of a recording of these devices really shows just what a terrible job most systems do.
Nothing beats my Yamaha YAS-207 at that price range. It's the only audio anything I've ever turned on the virtual surround... The Virtual DTS:X on this thing blew my mind. I still have no idea how they did it without making it sound like cats screaming in a concrete mixer.
As for an air scoop that works with down firing speakers, try Air Vent Diverters. They come curved or 45 deg flat. It is clear and has two halves and is enough for one TV; tape or velcro holds them in place. I like the curved on my 43" TCI/Roko TV. The sound is much improved because the mids and highs are directed at the listener. Still not good enough for action soundtracks, but they work. Got mine at home depot about a year and a half ago.
Thing is as said in the video, $75 is still too steep for a lot of people, but rather than the “sound scoops” a very viable option would be to do what I did back when I was strapped for cash - bought a 2.1 ch set of PC speakers for around $20. Comes with a sub and two tweeters, has way better quality than the TV still and is just as simple to setup given most just plug in with a 3.5mm jack.
Arcaxon I was totally waiting to see the moment where linus would have gotten hit in the face... only to be pleasantly surprised and over joyed with the actual moment. (Note I don't wish any harm to linus, it's just nice to be able to share the laugh after the fact)
Finally getting a soundbar for my Dell U3011 I am re-purposing as a small bedroom TV for my girlfriend and I. I didn't want to replace my 60" 4k Vizio and put that in the bedroom until I could get a BFGD. Saw the Omen's 5K USD price and decided to just buy a cheaper 32" 1440p 144hz Viotek from Amazon to satisfy my CounterStrike needs. The Dell monitor has audio out from DP or HDMI but no manual volume control on the monitor which created problems when we are both gaming and one of us wants to use the TV and the other is forced to switch inputs and game at the desk with the Dell. This soundbar having a remote solves my issues and prevented me from going down the path of putting a 60" TV in the bedroom that has no other logical option than wall mount. I really didn't feel like drilling in a place we are going to be moving out of soon anyways. Big fan Linus, you and your team are great and you were a nice dude when we met at an NCIX in Mississauga in 2011. Keep up the good work!
Yes! Review the sound scoops! Then see if you can make your own!
Then put them head to head!
Build yourself, THEN review it. There's really no reason to invest money here.
I made some using pooper scoopers that were bought as a halloween gag! Cookies anyone?
Not really an investment lol
Please review sound scoops.

Yes! Let's see those bad boys in action.
Lets see how plastic works compared to 75$ sound bar or a low end 20$ receiver and two 30$ speakers

You definitely need to review the sound redirectors, bonus points if you compare the results against regular cardboard/paper.
This is the review the scoops comment I agree with the most. Would be very fun.

Sorry Brandon
K. O. Fan LTT channel is known for reviewing interesting cheapy -crap- so I think this must be reviewed.

P.S. try making your own from something interesting like cement or fibreglass or chipboard
Agreed. Review them and also make your own to compare. But maybe use something I have lying around the house so that I can duplicaye it if its cool.
Balsa Wood, its easy to curve.
But balsa wood would vibrate too much?
uhm cement? you must be wanting to destroy your TV or something pretty sure once you use cement your speakers stop working
I know I like the sound of maple and rosewood on guitars, maybe try that?
My parents have a panasonic viera plasma from around 2008 and the sound quality is actually very good. Clear and good bass.

Review the scoops, please!
Of course Colton solved your problem of not having a sponsor for this video with thermaltake
the guy doesnt want to get fired today

I disagree with Brandon. I want a "scientific" test of them.
Thing is as said in the video, $75 is still too steep for a lot of people, but rather than the “sound scoops” a very viable option would be to do what I did back when I was strapped for cash - bought a 2.1 ch set of PC speakers for around $20. Comes with a sub and two tweeters, has way better quality than the TV still and is just as simple to setup given most just plug in with a 3.5mm jack.
Only Problem with your choice is that most new tvs do not offer a 3.5 analog jack and if they do, you loose any equalization possibility.
Review the scoops

I will dislike this video if they dont review sound scoop!
OMG IT'S THIS EPISODE WHERE YOU GOT HIT ON THE NOSE!!! AHAHA XD
we've been waiting for so long! ROFL
Arcaxon I was totally waiting to see the moment where linus would have gotten hit in the face... only to be pleasantly surprised and over joyed with the actual moment. (Note I don't wish any harm to linus, it's just nice to be able to share the laugh after the fact)
Ah, I see you're a WAN Show connoisseur like myself.

Something could hit my nose and not be that close to my face.
Finally getting a soundbar for my Dell U3011 I am re-purposing as a small bedroom TV for my girlfriend and I. I didn't want to replace my 60" 4k Vizio and put that in the bedroom until I could get a BFGD. Saw the Omen's 5K USD price and decided to just buy a cheaper 32" 1440p 144hz Viotek from Amazon to satisfy my CounterStrike needs.
The Dell monitor has audio out from DP or HDMI but no manual volume control on the monitor which created problems when we are both gaming and one of us wants to use the TV and the other is forced to switch inputs and game at the desk with the Dell. This soundbar having a remote solves my issues and prevented me from going down the path of putting a 60" TV in the bedroom that has no other logical option than wall mount. I really didn't feel like drilling in a place we are going to be moving out of soon anyways.
Big fan Linus, you and your team are great and you were a nice dude when we met at an NCIX in Mississauga in 2011. Keep up the good work!
Linus, there's a reason you make the phat TH-cam monies. Trust your instincts and shoot that sound scoop review, if only for our entertainment.
Do a review of the Velcro addons, also you should call this series prime pick!
4:12 So that's what you were talking on the WAN show, about that sound bar falling on your nose.
Wow that must've hurt.
Ill buy YOU a Sound Scoooopsss if he reviews it xD
