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. So how does it sound for a budget soundbar? If you’re looking for that surround sound experience the 120w speaker and built-in subwoofer will help. When watching something like Lord of the Rings the soundbar handles the low frequency sounds you get with a film and gives you that something extra. You get very little harmonic distortion and the wide frequency range also enhances the sound. (Make sure you use the optical cable if the TV the main reason for this Soundbar). With an impressive 120W speaker and a built-in subwoofer, the Snowdon provides an audio experience that cannot be provided alone from your television. Tailor your audio between music, movie or dialogue and adjust treble and bass settings with the supplied remote to create a sound quality that makes any room feel cinematic. 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.

SNOWDON - Majority

Switching to the Dialog preset minimises Movie Mode’s bassy register, though the Movie preset is ironically clearer and more natural in its delivery. Dialogue is also positioned well on the 55-inch screen the bar is partnered with, with treble clean and relatively sharply reproduced to be distinct from the rest of the frequency range. 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. While it delivers a punchy sound, if you’re expecting plenty of bass from its integrated subwoofer then the Snowdon is limited. Its firm dialogue delivery does incur some hardness, but it doesn’t overly upset the balance it’s going for.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 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. The Majority Snowdon II, much like the mountain in Wales it shares a name with, is a tall unit. At 8.3cm high it’s too big to sit in front of the majority (ahem) of TVs, obstructing the TV’s IR receiver. 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.

Majority Snowdon II Soundbar Review - Value for Money but

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 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.The Snowdon II offers an impressive 120W speaker and a built-in subwoofer which really does improve the audio quality and offer a close cinematic experience in your own home. Something wrong with this post? Thanks for letting us know. If you can point us in the right direction... Soundbars of today feature plenty of fancy tech, but when we get a chance, we like to have a listen to more affordable efforts. 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.
