Majority is a UK consumer electronics brand established in Cambridge in 2012 where they are still based. They offer a wide range of products such as home radios, DVD Players, Smart Speakers and Soundbars. Majority have a claim to fame as they created the world’s first Alexa-enabled DAB radio. Design So, step up the Majority Audio Snowdon II, a soundbar from the Cambridge-based company that’s a cheaper, less spectacular offering than its Dolby Atmos Sierra Plus model.
TV Soundbar | Snowdon | Built in Subwoofer - Majority
Alternatively, invest in a good-quality Bluetooth speaker for a music upgrade that can also work with a TV. This only has 3.5mm and Bluetooth inputs, but it’s rechargeable with a battery life of up to 30 hours for listening anywhere. The Swedish design is typically Scandi elegant - doubly so in limited edition lemon yellow. We test every soundbar we review thoroughly over an extended period of time. We use industry standard tests to compare features properly. We’ll always tell you what we find. We never, ever, accept money to review a product. Cheap can be shorthand for nasty where audio is concerned, but the Majority Snowdon II avoids that pitfall. There are strengths and weaknesses, but in terms of improving a flatscreen TV’s audio it’s a satisfactory win for the Snowdon II.
Setup was simple: the power button on the side or the ‘Mode’ button on the remote control cycle through whether you’re using a cable or Bluetooth to connect. A coloured light behind the grille indicates the selected mode. Sound was bass-ier and louder than my TV’s built-in sound. The sound also seemed marginally louder via the cable. Buttons on the remote mostly carry over to the bar, located on the right-hand side along with the auxiliary input, volume, source switching, Bluetooth pairing and power buttons. The remote features EQ customization of bass and treble, though this comes with a caveat that EQ is disabled for Dialog and Movie modes. If you are like me who has just bought a brand new TV you might be looking for a soundbar to enhance the sound quality of your TV. There are main different brands available for a range of budgets. The names of the DSP modes betray the fact that the Snowdon II is designed as a TV soundbar which doubles as an impressive Bluetooth speaker, whereas the Bowfell is a cheap Bluetooth speaker that can give your TV or laptop sound a boost. The Snowdon II is affordable enough that it’s the better buy, unless you need the compact size of the Bowfell – for example in a student bedroom or to boost laptop, rather than TV, sound. The Snowdon II is louder than the Bowfell, but not dramatically so. What’s noticeable is that the sound is more refined, so you get a full sound that can fill even a large room, rather than just a beefy bass. Skrillex sounds even better, as do television and action movies. The difference was impressive.
SNOWDON - Majority
As part of this mission, whenever we review a product we send the company a series of questions to help us gauge and make transparent the impact the device has on the environment. First impressions of the 2.1-channel Bowfell were that it’s surprisingly small at 72x388x54mm (HxWxD), so it’s nowhere near as wide as even a small TV. It’s also not designed to be wall-mounted: there are no fittings for this purpose. Instead, it’s designed to sit on a table in front of a smaller, stand-mounted TV. In front of any modern TV it will look rather small: it’s wider than most portable Bluetooth speakers, but not as wide as you’d expect a soundbar to be.

Something wrong with this post? Thanks for letting us know. If you can point us in the right direction... Some are more than happy to settle for a simple bar that improves the sound of their TV. Just how well does the Snowdon II achieve that goal? Here’s my verdict. Design You are given a small remote control to allow you to adjust the treble and bass and you can also switch between the following customised equaliser settings – Music, Movie or Dialog.
