About this deal

On the side of the soundbar, you have some controls just in case that remote goes missing and you want to still use the soundbar. You have the following buttons:

Majority Snowdon II Review | Trusted Reviews

There’s no mention of Dolby or DTS audio; the briefest glimpse into any audio support is the mention of switching the audio (in your TV’s settings) to PCM.

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. 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. 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. 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.

SNOWDON - Majority

Bass can be adjusted, but it doesn’t have much of an effect in either direction. I also noticed the angle of the speakers helped fire audio towards ear height, lifting the audio from the bar better than the Groov-e 160 soundbar could accomplish.The only reason I can see people being put off this speaker is if you want a better quality of sound but that is also paired with a higher price tag. The other reason is the fact this speaker won’t be able to link up to your smart home so no Alexa or Google but considering the price of the Snowdon II it’s hardly surprising. 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. The display (or rather LED light) is in the top right-hand corner and changes colour depending on the input chosen (blue for Bluetooth, yellow for optical). That’s virtually all it can do with no means to even gauge how loud the Snowdon goes, which feels like an oversight.
