All perfect sounds great Bluetooth connects fast comes with remote over all a good buy thank you
I’m really quite impressed by this. We’ve got a much more expensive Bose sound bar at home, and I bought this for our holiday place.
The remote and UI is simple and intuitive. Bravo. It’s got HDMI-ARC which is a game changer. I have no idea why sound bars come without it these days.
The sound quality is decent. Good range of EQ options. I’ll echo what other reviewers have said: the base from the sub is very subtle. And is better when listening to music over Bluetooth.
I’ve not really been able to test the built-in radio as I think it’s too remote out here for FM stations.
I’d buy again.
Bought to enhance TV sound for hubby who struggles to hear. He had it set up in minutes, and informed me that everything was dead easy to do and instructions were clear, even telling him what settings to change on TV. He was impressed as he isn’t the best at technology set up. Now he has had it a few months it is high time to write an honest review. He loves it voices are clear and he isn’t struggling to hear when other noises are in background. Don’t expect miracles though as being a cheaper soundbar it has good sound but isn’t going to be a world beater. Subwoofer is ok but as hubby states when listening to what he classes as music on Spotify the Bass could be a bit better, but overall a good purchase for the price paid and would happily purchase agai
Bought this soundbar didnt expect to much for the price but was quite surprised at the sound it gives. However not a enormous sound from the subwoofer but exceptable. Great value for the price.
Got this soundbar as a replacement for a Phillips one we had for ages and it’s absolutely smashed expectations, while I wish the sub woofer had just that little bit more power to it it definitely more than suffices for any TV setup/media centre, gaming audio is where it really shines as it picks up absolutely everything in scene, design is sleek and minimal so it will suit any setup you have. Great quality for such a compact piece of ki
I wasn’t sure at first whether it was good or not, being an absolute novice at soundbarsnwasht sure what to expect whether but after an easy connection using the HDMI ARC lead it connected straight away to the subwoofer with no issues. I really like this sound bar now, it gives out good sound and enhances my TV. Really good purchase A****
Easy to set up, the bar finds the subwoofer impressively hassle free and as long as the subwoofer is not behind something it gives a solid sound – its not a ‘conventional’ speaker and only adds a deeper bass tone.
However it would have been useful if the subwoofer volume could be controlled independently to help balance the overall sound.
This is a great budget soundbar and sub, the sound is crisp with good bass. The remote is easy to use and the Bluetooth connection is faultless, I’m always connecting my Samsung galaxy s21 ultra to it and the sound is brilliant. I highly recommend the Majority k2 soundbar if your working on a budget.
It’s worth the money. Good sound effect and suitable for the living room. Subwoofer is good enough for the tele shows and movies. Dont expect a hi jam effect. Connectivity is the highlight. The woofer gets connected to the sound bar automatically when switched on. Overall good performance and worth.
Good bass, very adjustable, user friendly remote control. Easy to set up. All you would want in a soundbar. That said, I have sub woofer and soundbar near to each other. I use soundbar’s optical input from TV’s optical out. An optical cable is provided. Would recommend.
It’s a very good speaker set up… We have a much more expensive one also and comparatively this does not let itself down for sound … There will be people who will simply rejected the majority due to the name or low price and missed out which is their loss as this is an excellent speaker system regardless of its low cost for your TV
Purchased this for my Mum so she would only need to use one remote , I have a 400 Soundbar so wasn’t expecting the great sound that came from this , it was a breeze to set up and had No issues connecting her Alexa to the Soundbar, a fantastic purchase and for the price it is amazing, obviously there are people out there that would find something wrong with the sound but to your average listeners it is Fantastic and I would recommend this to anyone.
We bought a new tv last year. And the sound was dreadful. We needed a sound bar, but only a small one because we wanted it to fit beneath the tv. The k2 fit the bill! Not too expensive, a good sound and not in your face!! Our sitting room is about 16 x 20, and the sound is just right. It can be loud if we want it, but with good sound, it’s very good. We were pleased from the word go!!
Having read some negative reviews I was a bit cautious about ordering this sound bar and sub woofer. My fears were immediately cancelled out as soon as it arrived. Stylish looking, incredibly easy to set up, the sound quality and bass are perfect for TV and movies in particular. For the price it’s faultless, I got it at a reduced price but even at full RRP it’s a steal. Highly recommended.
I am Highly satisfied with my Majority K2 Sound Bar, I was a little nervous to start installing my sound bar, At 84 years old it can be a bit overwhelming, so I sat down read the whole instruction booklet, Then I said here goes, I coupled it up using the HDMI ARC.
Hey presto completed the installation in just about
10 minutes. The sound is Very Good, the remote control is easy, just tinkering withe the sound to find what is best for my wife who is slightly deaf.
Thank you Majorly and Amazon.
Well pleased
Mr Ronald Fox.
Reall good sound bar for the money, just set it up sounds great better than our last one, looks nice as well and the quality of the product looks good and came well packaged. My only gripe would be that a DAB radio (I usually listen to planet rock) instead of FM but I guess it would of cost more but all in all its a good bit of ki
Not bad for the money however the sub woofer is a bit weak and can’t be controlled separately
This is a fantastic little sound bar and sub combo which packs a great punch for the cost. Installation and setup was relatively simple, I had to do a quick Google search to get sound from the fire stick (advanced Dolby has to be disabled). The best sound quality for me is from the optical cable which means I can’t take advantage of the ARC HDMI but I don’t mind another remote.
The sub finds the sound bar automatically and although not super responsive it adds a nice rumble which is just loud enough for my living room.
All in all I would highly recommend this for the price (I got it on Black Friday, but even the full price is well worth it).
After upgrading my tv I decided to upgrade my external speakers due to connectivity problems. .at first I couldn’t get this to work,everything was saying it was connected,but I had no sound,Not even Amazon tech support could help. .so we started a return on it . . Then,as I don’t like to be defeated I tried again,playing more with the settings on the tv , just by changing the sound output from HDMI ARC to PCM changed everything! . . Now I have brilliant sound on everything playing on my tv! . . It’s a lovely looking unit with so far a lovely sound . . .
I am hard of hearing and struggle with mid range frequencies (which is usually speech), my previous sound bar did not help it just increased the volume and added a little extra bass just extra noise with no clarity and I still struggled to hear speech clearly even when using my hearing aids.
I was in trepidation when I purchased the K2 I was worried it would be the same as my old soundbar, well what a pleasant surprise, the sound quality is good, and I mean really good, the mid range frequencies are crisp and clear I can hear peoples voices with absolute clarity without having to use my hearing aids. watching a movie is so immersive a good surround sound. I it isn’t Dolby but its a pretty good 2nd, the sub woofer works a treat its not overpowering but gives the right kind of beef. I used the optical cable for set up as my TV doesn’t have HDMI Arc. what I also liked was every type of installation cable has been provided so you are good to go, plus you get get a 3 year warranty when you register it and they also plant a tree on your behalf. All in all for the money I think it is well worth it for the price and would definitely recommend.
Bought this to replace and old Bose system and haven’t been disappointed. The separate bass speaker connected easily via Bluetooth and consequently can be “hidden” if you so wish. Works great with the tv and also as a sound system which I play via my iPhone which again is easy to connect via Bluetooth. It doesn’t seem that you can connect it to headphones. Found the easiest way to connect the sound bar to the tv was via the optical option.
Just right size for my TV easy fit and connect,good sound good value for money
Much better than expected and connectivity was the key with the HDMI and Bluetooth. Sound is good enough in the medium size living room. Using to with my Projector and does a good job
I bought this Majority K2 sound bar with subwoofer expecting a good sound for my room tv. It did not disappoint me. The quality of the product and the sound for speech, music or movies is simply fantastic. Very clear and without any distortion. This sound bar comes with FM tuner that works perfectly well too.
I also connected my laptop to it and the sound is also high quality. This a must have sound bar.
In 2019 I bought Majority Snowdon II sound bar 120 Watts without FM tuner and without subwoofer to give as a present to a teenager. At that time I had the opportunity to hear its sound and it was very good too. So far the teenager has this sound bar working in perfect conditions.
Ordered this item as my previous sound bar a Sony gave up the ghost after only 2 years . Saw this unit on Amazon and at the price I thought it was worth a try after reading many positive reviews. Can I say I am not disappointed . Ordered on a Monday and arrived lunchtime Wednesday. Easily set up and now “rocking and rolling. Recommend both the sound bar and its supplier.
This system gives very good clear sound quality, its only a 2.1 system so not the total 5.1 full surround sound. But for the money I would recommend this.
Product fine for price quality not to bad at all
The soundbar is realy good when playing music or watching films the voice dialogue is much clearer with the soundbar turned on. Bass can be a little muddy when turned up that is the reason for 4 Stars instead of 5 for sound quality.
Sky Q box instantly recognised the new setup and now I control the volume on the soundbar using the sky q remote.
I must say the sound quality is brilliant, I’ve only set it to volume 3 and it is nice and loud, but still clear with a good amount of bass.
For 75 I think you’d be hard pressed to find a better sound system to compliment your TV.
5/5
Easy to assemble and use, looks and feels good quality and good sound, but could’ve done with a tiny bit more bass.
Sound is far better than you would expect at this price. Its 2.1 and with careful placement of the sub in a small/medium size room the quality of audio is rich and nice on the ears. The sound can go loud if required.
Lets say that the sound bar is not for audiofiles and is not a surround sound system, but I doubt you’d find better for 80. Add to that lifetime support and a 3 year warranty and the unit is worth 5 stars of anyones money.
I love this unit although I had to have it replaced as the original was faulty.
The sound quality is great, both from the bar itself and from the subwoofer which I’ve placed across the room about 6m away. Never having had a soundbar before it’s like being at the cinema with surround-sound.
I connected with the optical link as it seemed the best, but other options are available. Bluetooth from my phone is awesome, but be careful to switch off your phone Bluetooth before setting up as this may interfere with soundbar & subwoofer connecting. You can enable it again afterwards and all should be well from then on.
The FM radio is however very disappointing – the aerial is nowhere near long enough to pick anything else so it just crackles loudly, which is momentarily annoying as you cycle through modes from Optical to Bluetooth and back.
Another minor annoyance is that you can switch on/off the soundbar with the remote control, but have to switch the subwoofer on/off with a switch on the back.
But despite that I’m very happy with the unit. British too!
My original subwoofer was very intermittent and often cut out completely. Majority Support agreed with my complaint and after verification of my order refunded through Amazon quickly, after which I ordered a new one. But it’s such a popular product I had to wait a week until it was in stock again!
Looks neat. Slightly reedy sound even with subwoofer, and very basic equalisation functionality. Volume more than sufficient for my needs. Bluetooth connection is very good.
I love that the speakers take only 2/3 minutes to set up, the subwoofer is incredibly lightweight but has very powerful bass at higher volumes. This can easily be used for parties of 10+ people and cuts through all conversation. Changing between audio inputs is seamless. I can play music and walk around my home with my phone in hand without it disconnecting. EQ seems to be well optimised for watching TV shows with unbalanced audio. Bass and Treble controls are great for later at night to not disturb the neighbours. For 80 this is the best sound system I’ve purchased!
Brought this for our static caravan to go with 40 inch tv and I have to say I am impressed set up in minutes the soundbar sets the sound right with 3 preset sound effects the woofer can kick out ample bass to make movie and music exciting, soundbar has fm radio built in ,the unit comes with every cable you need for connecting to tv …unit is very good value for money. Would definitely recommend..(I also have a 500 soundbar woofer at home so I’m not a beginner)
Easy to install with power and HDMI ARC to my TV. Mounting holes in back made for easy install above my TV. I did have to buy an 90 degree HDMI adaptor to plug in the HDMI cable downwards. Great sound from the bar itself and the wireless sub-woofer across the room gives action movies that extra thrill.
I do wish you could plug connect more than one bluetooth device at a time.
Great value and performance for the price. Highly recommended.
Great system for the money, not problem there.
Only problem is the Sub & Bar seems to go out of range easy (around 5-6 mtr away).
Also Sub need switching off when not in use as it will randomly pulse.
Very happy overall, however FM reception through the wire aerial not perfect. Interference from electrical PSU’s. Keep aerial far away and higher than other electrical devices. Apart from that, great sound. Being Bluetooth, the Sub Woofer can be placed anywhere in a room that has a power outlet too!
With summer heating up the balcony door has been open to get some cooler air into the flat, and with that comes outside noise… TV speakers aren’t normally that great, and ours kind of maxes out before we get anywhere near being loud enough to hear with lots of outside noise, so I thought a soundbar might be able to give a little extra volume
Along came Prime Day, and this was about 30 off, so rather than getting one that was just a bar I took the option of getting one with a bass speaker… considering this was (with the discounts) cheaper than speakers with less power, no bass speaker, and fewer features, how could I resist?
Upon plugging this in, it was AMAZINGLY easy to setup, giving several options for audio input (I went with the optical cable), the bass speaker auto-connects to the soundbar via bluetooth, and then I put a video onto the TV… the volume on the soundbar goes to 32, my first test was at 8 and it was already louder than the TV normaly, by 12 it was louder than the TV at max volume, the furthest I’ve gone in testing is 20 and it’s incredibly loud with the bass giving a good “thump”, so this pretty damn awesome!
Considering this doesn’t just take input from the TV/player, you can connect your phone to it via bluetooth and have it as either “background” noise, or if you’re entertaining you can have music with volume ranges from quiet for conversations or loud for dancing
This has been probably the best purchases during Prime Day for several years, turning our living room into a proper entertainment experience rather than just a TV
Overall, the sound output is AWESOME, the features are great and it’s incredibly easy to install!!!
Just to add my little bit. And it’s nothing to do with the technical stuff which has been so apparent posted before. As in Not. I’m not even sure some of these have even seen the product.. some of the comments on here I’ve seen before on different products.. i bought this and its Kool.. I’ll make another comment later.. but for now Beware of false review’s
This is very good for the money. Bought it for my daughters room to wall mount it under a wall mounted tv. If you are wall mounting it you will need some compact 90 degree hdmi and optical cables, whatever you are using to connect it to the TV. The aperture at the rear of the bar is very small and you can’t use regular cables as it won’t wall mount with them. I ended up getting a floating shelf as it was easier. Apart from this it’s very good for the money. Maybe not for a large room, but ideal for a bedroom or small living room. The ARC function works flawlessly. The remote is good. Can’t really complain about anything for the money. I’d imagine it’s a lot better than a known brand bar for this kind of money. Recommended.
My first impressions of this small sound bar are that it’s like my girlfriends ugly sister, great for a party but you don’t want to be with her on a daily basis.. I am going to bear in mind that I have downsized from a 1000W extremely loud Samsung set up to this and review accordingly.
The unit itself is easy to set up using an optical cable, I only watch YouTube so this suits my needs very well, and once set up the soundbar automatically pairs with the sub. The sub and bar are powered by a small adaptor each so there is a need for a couple of extra sockets behind the TV.
As far as weight goes this is a very lightweight system, I stress very, I think the packaging weighs more than the sub and bar together. Not that this affects the sound quality, especially considering the price point, but I have found that this unit is better suited more to music than TV (audiobooks, documentaries etc) and the sub gives out a surprising amount of bass for such a small light unit.
I’m not an audio snob but I think there is something satisfying about having an amp and speakers and I’ve always liked separate’s ever since I was a kid. This all in one kind of thing takes a little getting used to but with houses getting smaller and more cramped what choice is there and I expect my neighbours appreciate the downgrade.
Summing up then…. For me this unit is ideal for some music with a little bass thrown in and it has a decent volume in a smaller room (16″ x 10″) but if you want proper quality sound then you need to spend and the more you spend the better things sound as a rule of thumb.
The sound is rich and natural with good bass depth and impact and while the sub can ‘bottom out’ and pop (distort) with music that has deep bass rhythms this was not a real issue when watching TV and movies (for sound recordings see my Amazon profile YouTube channel).
The HDMI ARC integration means it can be controlled (power and volume) from the TV remote control so its own remote is only needed for changing source to Bluetooth for example.
The soundbar dimensions mean even on a low stand it will likely not block the picture but you’d be wise to check this.
It’s worth noting that the K2 speakers are actually offset to the left in the soundbar so when you place the soundbar centrally on your TV table less sound comes from the right (though this isn’t really noticeable) and while the soundbar itself is longer than some designs like the Creative Stage v2 the left-right separation is actually even less at 56cm at the widest point rather than 60cm on the Creative and 70cm on the Bomaker.
Bluetooth makes it useable for playing tunes from your phone (it also has a built in FM radio though I didn’t use it) and the sound is much louder and more powerful than from my Echo Show 8, though the USB socket doesn’t seem to support use as a laptop/PC audio device which would have been nice.
The only slight negatives are the slightly garish logo on the sub (which thankfully, as mentioned, can be hidden from sight) and the sound EQ mode indication displayed being a numeric code.The K2 has 3 modes Adj which is fairly flat and clear, Movie which kills mids and Dialogue which boosts lower mids and reduces treble. Adj has the most clarity but can sound a touch tinny and sibilant in the treble (though much less tinny than TV speakers); I settled on 0 for treble and 3 for bass.
Unusually it comes with all cables and batteries so you are ready to go immediately. Majority also plant a tree for each unit so overall a great value system and a good choice if you want an inconspicuous setup (with the sub hidden from view) that really surprises with the extra bass but won’t upset domestic harmony.
This is a superb quality soundbar/woofer for the cost. I have had for around three weeks now and am really impressed. My son who is into his drum and bass is often Bluetoothing his music with really deep bass. If in any doubt play “The Weekend – The Hills” it has mental ability to handle the bass.
Control is a cool simple, mode, treble and bass. Bass and treble go from -4 to +4 so you can adjust to what you are listening to. Soundbar comes on and off when you use your TV control and the TV control also does the volume on TV and soundbar and soundbar control dose volume on TV together also. Really clever.
Bluetooth woofer just needs plugging into mains and Bluetooth from phone etc still works on separate frequently. Kind of two Bluetooth ability.
Radio is fair and has easy auto scanning for channels just by depressing and holding play/pause.
Comes with optical connector and 3.5 double ended jack as well as HDMI cable. HDMI is what I used to TV and I think that’s what must be syncing the volumes.
What’s really weird, is that where you place the woofer in the room, it sounds like it’s coming from the soundbar, but it’s not. Turn the woofer off and you can hear the soundbar is not as deep. Really happy. Usually “recommend by Amazon” is a good endorsement and in this case, it’s rocking for music and TV. I honestly don’t think you can get better for this price. Well done Majority/Amazon.
Sub woofer doesn’t seem all that good. Limited base on the controls. I connected through HDMI arc but it seems to loose this connection from time to time and i have to resort to optical
Good sound for price paid, better than standard LG tv. Easy to set up and adjust sound quality. Need to be mindful of siting subwoofer, as my system interferes with broadband router, moving my router away from speaker worked better.
Improves sound whilst watching movies but button to control equaliser is a bit hit and miss, there’s no way or indicator to inform you of its settings, puzzling. Have to do it by ear, which means playing part of the movie to set sound then going back to the start on e happy with the sound.
I read reviews about this sound bar and it sounded great so I bought one.
I have to o say it really is fantastic. Sound quality and bass tones really good. It is a fantastic system fir the money, BUT……. this may well be a quirk with my system but at times it’s causing our home Wi-Fi to block the signal! It’s definitely the Majority system because when I turn it off the Wi-Fi returns Ian putting up with it for now as I think it is cycling the channels as it’s not happening all the time .
This does not detract from the fact that it operates, sounds and looks fantastic.
Check to find whether your TV supports bluetooth otherwise you will need to connect via RCA or optical connections. I used the optical and the sound is very impressive compared to the TV’s own speakers but I haven’t been able to fully connect the sub woofer yet so it’s a work in progress.
The soundbar is good and functional and a nice size to fit under a TV or on a bookshelf which is where I keep mine. The soundbar does have an issue which is that the individual speakers on the left of the bar are louder than those on the right giving an uneven sound distribution though this is not entirely noticeable unless you are standing very close to it.
The subwoofer is the most obvious issue. It connects immediately and setting it up is very easy but it is often very quiet. My subwoofer is placed on the opposite side of the room to the bar and I have to turn the bass settings up to the max in order to actually consider its existence. The only time it works well is when I have the system to a floor-shakingly loud volume at which point the subwoofer is very obvious so I guess if you are someone who is likely to have it on max volume most of the time this isn’t an issue for you.
Besides these issues the system is very good for its affordable price. I use mine with a record turntable, Amazon Alexa and connect it to my phone via Bluetooth and it works pretty well with all of these but I am yet to try it with a TV. All in all a worthy purchase for any music junky such as myself.
I have a few miner criticisms of the Guide booklet, but the K2 sound bar itself is excellent, It also comes in very interesting packaging.
Well, I can honestly say that I’m happy with my purchase of the Majority K2 soundbar. Once everything was plugged in and connected up, which was simple to do, it sounded great. Impressive sound quality for under 100:00. Its probably not world beating but for the price I’d say it’s pretty amazing. If like me you’re on a budget and just can’t afford the more expensive brands this is a great budget soundboard. You can adjust the bass and the tremble individually and there is plenty of both.
Lots of connection options which is great for me, I do music production, so I can route my Tascam US 2×2 sound interface via the Aux option (which is primarily why I bought the K2). It hooks upto my p.c. no problem, the sub woofer hooked up as soon as I plugged it in, no problem. Just scanned the F.M. mode and again simple. The K2 itself is light and easy to move if you need to. I can’t play my T.V. through the K2 because I have an old T.V. and it just won’t do it but that’s o.k. we’re getting a new smart T.V. soon. But at least I know how this one sounds if I want to use it on the new one!
Overall this is a great soundboard for the price.
I needed three things from this sound bar and woofer – sound quality, volume, and bluetooth connectivity to replace my old hi-fi system. The Majority K2 is excellent in all these areas. At 150 watts it has volume to spare, great adjustable sound, and faultless connectivity. An added bonus is that it is incredibly simple to set up: it came out of its box, I plugged in the sound bar and woofer which connected wirelessly straightaway (they are only four feet apart so I can’t say how far it stretches) then connected to bluetooth effortlessly. The remote is easy to use and the controls do what is expected. I bought this primarily for music – it’s everything I wanted and more.
I was looking for a ‘cheap’ sound bar for our kitchen that’s just been renovated as the built in speakers on our LG tv are rubbish for a large room and we only use that TV for background music/YouTube so didn’t want to spend hundreds. Now my first impressions of this system were that it is crazy how it came with every cable you could want inc a HDMI, optical cable, mini jacks/phono and power cables. I didn’t realise this so it was a welcome surprise considering how some expensive sound bars only include a power cable. The sub has a 4″ Woofer so is obviously not going to be shaking your room however fills in the lower mid range that the drivers in the bar cannot create and leaves a nice balanced mix. It’s also super simple to ‘setup’. You just turn it on and you’re good to go! .
Connecting to my TV via ARC, everything worked automatically, turns on/off along with my tv so I don’t need the remote for daily use except for changing settings (which set you never really change). One feature I do like is that the little screen on the bar can be turned off which I love, however this every now and again turns itself back on which I think is because the system is turned on via my TV/Apple TV. On my LG sound bar which was over 500, the screen is permanently on and it bugs the heck out of me.
Now the volume gets surprisingly loud for a sub 80 system and even in my large room, I only need to put the volume to 25 out of 50 for it to be loud, but usually I’d leave it at around level 10. Only minor downside I experienced is that I wanted to flush fit it underneath my tv but the FM aerial is permanently attached and hdmi port is facing the wall so the included hdmi cable doesn’t fit, however HDMI cables with a thin connector are only a few anyways and for the value of this system with everything included, I can’t really complain. Once I changed it, super easy to mount with just 2 screws. You can turn the led screen off and it just works. For the price, yes it’s not going to sound the same as a 500 sound bar or have body shaking bass but it’s a big upgrade from flat screen tv speakers, is cheap and comes with basically everything you need.
The only Disappointed thing is the sub woofer which I can barely hear was hoping to put an early Star wars film on so I could hear the Engine roar out across the floor as I am sat at the opposite end of the living room !!
Not to be !! Just set it up last night and am considering If I should return it and bye a high end sound bar with a really good subwoofer TBH Don’t know what to do.
It’s Not all Doom and Gloom though as the sound bar it’s self really packs a punch and I think it would be unfair to return it as Majority have managed to out perform my last sound bar (Samsung)
it seemed very easy to set up, however it kept losing the sound when connecting via ARC HDMI, optical was fine, haven’t used Bluetooth yet so I cant comment on that. eventually after some settings adjustment of the tv the arc HDMI was working. For the price its a great product. its not going to replace 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound but its not designed to do that. its a vast improvement on the tv speakers, its bass is good without being too loud and the clarity of the sound bar is excellent. overall I’m very happy with this product and would highly recommend it as an upgrade for your tv sound.
Nice size and connectivity. It’s not as loud as I thought it would be and the base doesn’t have the range I thought it would, but it does improve the TV sound which is why I purchased it.
Had the soundbar for a week and it’s ok, far better than my LG TV speakers, just needed to set sound out on my TV to PCM for it work. Best setting for me is cinema sound where there’s definitely a 3D seperation effect. The subwoofer is quite loud. I have it positioned in the opposite corner to the TV and have it sitting on top of a baking tin instead of carpet. So far so good.
I’m fairly impressed with this so far. For the price the sound quality is decent (although there aren’t many options to equalise the frequencies) and it connects well to my music streaming app. The remote is clashing with other appliances I have in my flat though. Not a major issue but a bit irritating. It’s early days. I may well update this review once I’ve used it more consistently.
I have just set this up and it is obviously very good value. Was looking at much more expensive ones but decided that I could not justify the cost just to get Alexa included so went for this one which gets good reviews. Can’t complain so far. The bass is very good for the cannons in the 1812 overture.
Initial review as recent purchase, connectivity is excellent and easy to install and sound good for the value. Worked well with google streaming via TV, DVD and music via Bluetooth. Only two points could be improved, the position of the optical cable connection on the sound bar which makes it difficult fit to a wall unless you can buy a right angle connector, fitted a spacer and also the Optical Socket on the sound bar appears rather to create a loose cable fit.
The soundbar does a good job at a good price. The machine went wrong after about 2 months. I must like it as I’ve replaced it with another of the same product. Very pleased with the much improved sound I’m getting from my fairly new Panasonic large flat screen TV. I doesn’t seem to connect to the TV with Bluetooth but that doesn’t matter much. The bluetooth connection to the “sub-woofer” speaker was a bit slow to engage but is working fine now.
I had a Panasonic sound bar that never really performed well, so I decided to try something cheap !
And I am suitably impressed ! Very good on speech, and you have three easy choices to pick from to change the depth of bass if you so wish, and this it where it surprises !
If you locate the sub well, not too far from the bar, I found the sub would click if not close enough, you are treated to wonderful warm bass with a good clear vocal !
Sky arts played The Cure live in 2018, and it was wonderful to watch, but even better to listen to !
For this price, I honestly think this is amazing !
You could pay 5 times what I paid for this and you would have to ask yourself why? The other one I was considering was 58 more expensive than the K2….I can’t fault this purchase, as sound quality is perfect enough for my ear and it is linked to my television and the subwoofer by Bluetooth, that alone is testament to its true quality. The sound bar has a weighty quality and the whole thing including subwoofer looks stylish as well as giving quality of sound you don’t need to pay hundreds for!
For some reason it refuses to work with Netflix or Amazon video however it has powerful loud volume, it works better when connected with ARC so you don’t need the remote.
It likes to be loud so if you just watching the news you won’t get the bass.
Sound quality generally good but seems to have bluetooth problems. Very particular about where the bass unit is placed in the room otherwise there are a lot of “popping” noises. I believe this is because the bass unit is struggling to maintain the bluetooth signal. Fixed the problem by siting the bass unit directly behind the TV. Not ideal but it works.
Ok, I’m not a sound bar expert but I do enjoy good sound / music. The Majority K2 in reality replaces the old music center you may have had but with the added benefit of being sleek and modern. It all connected to the TV without issues. Probably the best way to connect the bar to the TV is via HDMI/Arc since this allows you to use the TV remote for mute / volume functions (also this connection is supposed to be better than optical). So that’s the TV sound sorted and the wireless bass box works fine, although the best bass effect is when the volume is high. The bar includes FM radio; blue tooth to work with your phone / i-pad etc; USB to connect music on memory stick (MP format); and it also has a line in to use from your Alexa or other equipment. So, It’s not just TV sound bar but an ideal way to listen to your music, streamed or otherwise. Sound and bass reproduction at high volume is good indeed, but this can be subjective. Overall a good buy for the price and functionality.
And I’m very glad I did! Watching TV is now a completely different experience.
The parcel arrived on time, as usual from Amazon, and it was very obviously a soundbar — no plain brown packaging here. Everything was securely packed up, and it took me a few minutes with the scissors to actually get in. There was even an optical cable in the box, even though it said there wasn’t. This is what I used to connect it to the TV.
Note — during setup, plug everything in BEFORE turning on the unit. This way you won’t spend half an hour trying to work out why there is no sound coming out, as I did.
Once I worked this out everything just worked. The subwoofer connected automatically, no problem. It’s subtle but adds weight to the sound, especially at higher volumes.
The instructions don’t make it clear but the three EQ settings are – 1. ADJ = MUSIC 2. MOVIE 3. VOICE. It’s very difficult to read these on the display itself. You can adjust the treble and bass separately, so it’s easy to find a sound you like.
It goes very loud, by the way. I haven’t dared turn it up beyond 15, and I believe it goes to 32. Normal viewing is at volume 3 or 4, and 1 when the kids are in bed. I could use a volume 0.5, but it’s not a problem as I can always turn it to zero and use the TV volume if I need to.
The sound is excellent, with no hiss. The soundbar itself looks and feels high quality — the subwoofer less so, but you’re supposed to hide it behind the sofa anyway, so that doesn’t matter.
All in all I’m very pleased with this purchase, and I wish I’d bought it sooner!
Came with all necessary cables, unlike most bits of kit you buy! Using the connected HDMI ARC cable, the sound is controlled via tv remote and after setting the tv sound to PCM, it worked straight away. Connected via the supplied optical cable, the sound is controlled via the soundbar remote. Have plugged a turntable into it via line in and that sounds good. Got a good discount when opting for Prime subscription! FM tuning is poor, but I listen to radio through tv anyway, so not bothered about that.
Highly recommend .
Unpacking the box revealed a well-packaged product, with instructions, cables and remote control. It was really easy to pair the wireless sub with the soundbar, you simply switch them on and wait, then a beep confirms the pairing succeded. I tested the K2 with the Bluetooth connection using my phone and with my TV using HDMI. The sound is really clear and loud, much better than my Samsung costing 3 times as much, maybe not as loud but the quality is better than quantity. You can easily adjust the bass and treble from the remote, The TV remote also controls the soundbar if your TV has ARC HDMI. I would definitely recommend it as a quick and easy solution to enhance the sound of your TV.
Firstly, very well designed and packaged product which ensured the sound bar and subwoofer arrived without damage. I was also impressed with the number of options for connectivity and with all the supplied cables which is rare these days. Setting up the sound bar and subwoofer was straight forward and quick. The sound bar looks very sleek and unobtrusive. The build quality feels superior and robust. The subwoofer looks very stylish but I was very surprised at how light it is. Given this, I wasn’t expecting the punch it gives! I like listening to a deep and clear bass, and I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, I replaced my older Panasonic surround sound system with the Majority K2 and I have not been disappointed. The Bluetooth connectivity between sound bar and subwoofer is faultless and using Bluetooth to connect my iPad and iPhone to the sound bar is instant and reliable. I would say that it is excellent value for money and with the 3 year warranty on top, you can’t go wrong. The only thing that would have been better would have been the possibility of being able to use my Sky remote to operate the system. Just a small niggle.
This soundbar and subwoofer is absolutely amazing. Looks expensive and sound quality is owsome. Also great price. I’ve bought this to use with my projector, it’s very easy to setup. Bluetooth connects to Bluetooth automatically. I definitely recommend this soundbar.
Once again Majority have excelled. Having owned the Snowden II soundbar for a year or so, I wanted to replace it with something with a little more kick. I originally bought the Majority Snowden II to replace a 1500 Bose Cinemate as a stop gap measure. I was so impressed with it we just kept it “for the time being”. So when we installed the K2 tonight, I was delighted. It has a clearer display (with regard to what volume you are on/ what bass/treble levels are current); and the subwoofer connects automatically to the main bar with no setup required, giving far more low frequency punch. Fantastic. I’m delighted that for 80 I’ve got a sound system that easily rivals the Bose system I had for years (in the normal lounge) and was so easy to setup. Five stars.
I bought this product after reading other reviews. I had looked at other more expensive makes but as this is the first soundbar I have bought I thought I would go with the Majority because it seemed an excellent price. I wasn’t disappointed. The soundbar is excellent and the instructions from the box are extremely helpful. I connected via HDMI arc and the soundbar worked perfectly. I suggest you read your TV manual because I had to make some changes to the sound output but once this was done the sound was excellent. I cannot believe the quality for the price. The soundbar and subwoofer connect instantly and then once it is paired with your TV you just use your TV remote to control the volume, I am so impressed with the sound. It is much louder than the regular speakers but the sound is very crisp and sharp. I watch a lot of sports and the sound is perfect. I am so glad I bought this product. The price for everything you get is amazing. I am not sure why other makes are so expensive when a product of this price sounds as good as it does. One tip I would say is follow the instructions regarding the subwoofer and pairing the soundbar. Turn off other wireless devices in that area so it can get the best connection. It took we two goes to get the best connection but after that the subwoofer sounded great. The bass is great, especially when watching action films etc. I can’t recommend this product enough. The tech is great, the price is great and it is so easy to set up. Don’t go spending loads more money when you can get sound for this price.
Soundbar,excellent sound, setup can be tricky. You need to change tv settings for different input modes. Subwoofer waste of time you can barely hear it. Tried every setting and input methods to no avail. I’ve give up, now a dust collector.
Not much to say about this perfectly capable little soundbar and subwoofer. One of the few available in White to match and blend in with my furniture. No surround sound features of course, but good clarity and plenty of volume for my living room without being too ‘boomy’. Excellent value for money, simple to set up, would recommend to a friend.
I already have a Samsung sound bar on our dining room TV, but couldn’t justify 200 for another sound bar for the lounge. Took a punt on this bar, fully expecting to return it. Well…. I’m very happy with it, decent sound and base from the Sub (not quite as good as the Samsung) , but very close and for me, totally acceptable. I’m blown away with the quality for the price!
Impressive sound quality using Bluetooth connection, however the HDMI ARC connection sounds quieter and less responsive with a notable muting down of the subwoofer and the bass. Therefore when watching TV with the soundbar through HDMI, the sound is a bit disappointing and requires cranking up the volume a lot to get a tiny bit of midrange/bass response. Disappointed in this because otherwise I’m really impressed with this soundbar, having bought another Majority product in the past and been extremely happy with it. If there was a way of increasing the volume from the soundbar HDMI to match the output from a Bluetooth source, possibly through firmware?
Overall a decent product, a few things let it down such as the remote control (bit cheap feeling) and the length of the supplied cables, I had to purchase extra length for the power to the sound bar. The subwoofer can be situated anywhere as it connects via Bluetooth, this is a bonus as it meant I could hide it out the way without cables trailing. Overall set up was quick and painless. The soundbar comes with all the cables you would need for your set up, I have mine connected via the HDMI (ARC) which means I can use the TV remote to adjust the volume on the soundbar. If you have it connected via optical or audio cable connector, you will have to use the soundbar remote to adjust the volume. Like other reviews I’ve seen, the lower the volume the subwoofer barely registers, however, when the volume is optimal, it gives a decent enough kick for the size of room. If you have a massive room expecting great sound then this isn’t for you, however if you have a medium to smaller room, this is a perfect budget soundbar.
This is the second majority product I have purchased and for the second time I’m very impressed. There’s plenty of choice when it comes to sound bars and a wide price range so I spent a lot of time researching various brands covering a span of prices. Having previously purchased a majority product which surpassed expectations and went for this. It’s a great sound bar and comes with a separate sub woofer for good depth of bass. It has a good range of features apart from being a great sounding sound bar with my favourite being the Bluetooth connectivity, it’s a fantastic Bluetooth speaker with a really full sound. The preset EQs are good and clarity of sound is very good. There are units I’ve heard that have more low end but to be honest the balance of sound with the Majority gives a much better representation of sound. At this price point and indeed much higher ones this is a real winner.
Given the price for this item, it really does represent excellent value for money. It comprises two elements, firstly the actual soundbar which is placed beneath the TV and secondly, a bass unit which you can place anywhere in the room as long as there’s a power socket nearby. The two are linked via Bluetooth and that link just works. As the bass frequencies are handled by a separate unit, it allows the soundbar itself to be relatively slim and unobtrusive. It itself contains two speakers for each of the left and right channels and a central port which seems to be a blend of left and right. Although such an arrangement does create a fake stereo image, it does have the advantage of reinforcing the centre stage and thereby helps the audibility of centrally placed dialogue We have a Samsung series 7 TV and had concerns regarding compatibility, given other reviews, but had no problems linking optically or via HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC). Using ARC has the advantage that the soundbar’s volume can be controlled using the TV’s remote but there’s no audio delay control with our TV to allow for lip sync adjustment, should it be necessary. Lip sync problems can arise when using a Firestick plugged into the TV for example. Linking optically did give that control but of course that is TV dependent. Others have remarked that little sound emanates from the bass unit. Whilst true, subjectively the bass ambience produced does significantly improve the overall sound. The remote control allows the user to change bass, treble and preset equalisation settings with the resulting sound being pleasant, sharp and with depth. The soundbar with bass unit can also act as a Bluetooth speaker which, when coupled to a music source, allows the unit to shine with the bass having real presence. The included FM tuner may be useful to some but, as we’re in a poor reception area, the wire aerial was inadequate. That doesn’t really matter though as radio stations can be found-a-plenty on Freeview, Freesat and streamed via a phone or other device. In summary, this would be a perfectly attractive and acoustically pleasant purchase that wouldn’t hurt the pocket of a budget conscious buyer. You could easily pay twice as much for something not nearly as good.
Excellent surround sound for a fantastic price. Plug and play so easy. All cables included. Even came with an optical cable even though the instructions manual said it wasn’t included. If you are in a budget this is the system for you. Never purchased anything from this brand before but I’ll deffo be looking out for their products for my future tech needs.
I use this sound bar with an LG 43″ TV and must say that the sound quality is a great improvement on the TV’s inbuilt speakers. The depth of sound and the extra bass provided by the subwoofer are excellent for a budget sound bar and HDMI ARC works well with the main sound bar unit to reduce the number of remote controls needed for normal TV watching. Unfortunately the subwoofer is not switched on and off by the ARC facility, only by the ON/OFF switch on the unit so you have to remember to do this manually. Bluetooth pairing is easy and the range is good. I have tried the FM tuner but tend to use the TV Freeview radio because the antenna is very sensitive to position and interference can be caused by just walking past it. The LED indicators for the main functions are easy to read but the EQ Mode indicators are too small to be legible through the front grill so you have to go by the position of the item illuminated rather than the text.
In conclusion, a good value sound bar with a few minor niggles but nothing I can’t live with.
The sub doesnt have any form of independant volume control and as per a lot of the other comments can be quiet. If you want a soundbar and sub that shakes the room when turned up this probably isnt the one for you. It does however complement the soundbar nicely and though it cant be heard all the time, its there when you need it. The best way i could test this is by switching it off and you can really hear a difference in the sound quality and bass.
I did find that when using the soundbar in conjunction to my TV’s built in speakers, speech does sometimes sound a bit tinny with a slight echo. This isnt all the time and when watching anything on virgin its actually very good. If it doesnt sound quite right its easy enough to mute the TV speakers and just have the soundbar on!
All in all its a good set up to complement the TV’s speakers or to be used on its own adding that little bit of bass and trebble that you dont get from built in speakers. For the price you cant go wrong!
I love it!
After looking at a soundbar I wanted at 799 and coming back down to earth with a bump, I saw this and thought I’d try it at as it is such a good price and also it looks very stylish.
Well I’m not disappointed!
It has a great sound. I like bass and I listen to a wide range of different music and everything sounds really good and is very powerful for the price.
I’ve also used it for Bluetooth in voice clips and it sounds great.
You don’t realise how naff the TV speakers are until you plug one of these in.
I have a smart TV so was able to just plug in the HDMI connection and away we go!
I recommend this product.
Remote control does it’s job, nothing flashy but does what you want of it.
Sound quality is really nice, voices are clear, music punches and the dynamic range is good for a soundbar this price. One issue I noticed however (hence the 4 stars) is the lack of bass coming from the subwoofer, most of it coming from the soundbar. This is mostly an issue I’ve noticed with HDMI ARC, if I connect my phone using bluetooth and set the soundbar to a really high volume but set my phone to a much lower one you get a lot more bass from the subwoofer.
However, great little soundbar. Recommended for the price.
As with all Majority products in my opinion this soundbar and subwoofer represents great value and more than acceptable styling with great features for the price
If you want more features be prepared to 2 or 3 times the price
This unit only has the basic EQ options but has more than enough input options and the wireless subwoofer gives you the ability to place it in different locations for the best integration with the main unit
If you are looking to upgrade the inbuilt TV speakers this is not a bad choice
Sub woofer is wireless too which is really nice as avoids limiting the position/trailing wires
Not a full cinema experience though (I have a 5.1 amped system to compare). So if you accept this you will be pleased.
However turns a tinny flat screen tv with poor voice audio into a very pleasant viewing experience with vastly improved spoken word audio clarity.
Quite loud too (and loud enough to be well above what you need to fill a large lounge with sound)
HDMI too so you don’t typically need to use the remote after initial setup (volume controlled by your tv remote if using hdmi)
Bluetooth audio works well too eg can play music from my phone / pad
FM Radio is analog and I am in a poor fm area so could not really test this .
I did not test the optical input
All in all a very respectable package and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the product.
I would recommend this for
– anyone unhappy with the spoken audio / tinny experience their flat screen provides
– people who want decent audio but not requiring the full home cinema seat rumbling experience
– second rooms
– student/teenage rooms
Pro’s:
– Sounds great! Really good bass, better than my Samsung soundbar/subs which were more than double the price!
– Easy to connect Bluetooth to Amazon Firestick BUT see con’s below
– Simply to use
Con’s:-
– When you set it up with an Amazon FireStick it pairs very easily BUT the Amazon setup can’t find this soundbar in its library so you can use the volume buttons on the Firestick to control the volume on the soundbar. The Firestick support’s a huge list of soundbars by brand and you can even type in an a specific IR code to the Firestick so it supports it, but after talking to Minority support they just said “The product doesn’t officially support Universal remotes, this is why you cannot successfully set this up”. What a joke! There is definitely a code out there that would work, they just don’t know what it is or can’t be bothered to find it. I spent 10 mins trying different brands and in 2 goes found one that would power the Soundbar on and off from the Firestick remote, but couldn’t find one that would do the volume so you have to have the Soundbar remote to hand all the time
– 2nd Firestick compatibility problem (and trust me if you have this you issue will be grateful I’ve posted this solution as I wasted 2 days troubleshooting this with Amazon!), when you connect this soundbar via Bluetooth to the Firestick it connects straight away and uses the 2.4ghz frequency range. If you connect your Firestick through wifi at 2.4ghz, the soundbar and the firestick get into major signalling issues. Your network will run terrible slow and constantly drop out. You can only connect the soundbar at 2.4ghz but you can connect the wifi at 5ghz if your home wifi router supports that. I reached out to Majority for help and they said “No unfortunately we don’t have a solution to this problem, it seems to just be an interference issue.” – Again, thanks Majority support, really helpful!
So why give it such good scores? The reality is it sounds really great and its a great price so I would recommend it, just please take note of the above if you are planning on using it with an Amazon Firestick (which is also a great bit of kit!).
Please, if anyone works out what other soundbar brand or IR code will allow the Amazon Firestick to control the volume of the Majority Soundbar, post it here and I’ll be forever grateful!
This soundbar is fantastic! I put a lot of research into which soundbar to purchase as I have an expensive one already and didn’t want to spend as much on one for a second TV. In all honesty I wish I had just bought two of these originally. The sound is great and the sub woofer adds a dimension you don’t get with all in one soundbars.
You won’t find a better soundbar for under 100 although I will stress if you are a visual/audio fanatic obsessed with watching 4k movies in a soundproofed, windowless home cinema room then you’ll need to invest more money.
For those like me who just want an improvement on the poor quality of the TV’s own speakers then this is the soundbar for you! It’s lightweight and easy to attach to the wall too.
Set up was very simple and took just minutes. An HDMI lead was thoughtfully included so it was simple to connect the soundbar to the ARC HDMI port on my TV. I selected ‘Arc’ as the input mode on the soundbar — and that was it.
Switching on the subwoofer, it automatically connected to the soundbar via Bluetooth. It wasn’t an issue for me but it’s worth noting that you need two separate power sockets — the subwoofer is not powered by the soundbar.
The sound bar comes with its own remote. From here, you can adjust the bass and treble. There are also a range of preset EQ settings.
If you’re new to the world of soundbars, I can’t recommend the K2 highly enough: an affordable, easy to use upgrade to any everyday home entertainment set-up.
When you turn it on for the first time, the sound bar automatically pairs with the subwoofer, so you don’t need to do anything manually. I decided to stream music from my phone, so I turned on Bluetooth on the phone, did a search for devices, and the soundbar was found and paired right away.
There are 3 EQ presets: Movie, Voice, and Adj (not sure what “adj” means), Movie sounding the brightest of the three. You can also adjust Bass and Treble with simple up and down buttons on the remote, with values for each going from -4 to +4 in one step increments. If after adjustments you switch to a different preset, your adjustments are not saved.
The sound is very good, and I was actually surprised given the price. There is no noise that I can hear of, and the sound is pretty clean. The subwoofer is subtle, not exaggerated, and because of that it adds to the overall stage and nicely complements the smaller speakers in the soundbar. The volume goes from “00” to “32” in one step increments, and a very comfortable listening experience is in the “04” to “06” range, so you still have tons of room to sound super loud if you want to.
I have been using it for a week now and I would definitely recommend this soundbar, considering the price.
Excellent value for money, this has vastly improved the sound quality output from our TV. For the price I paid with a wireless subwoofer I dont think you could beat this price anywhere else. I have attached it to the wall easily to hide the wires going to the TV and it looks brilliant.
