Some customer reviews of Orbitsound T12 Soundbar
Most helpful reviewsJohn, London Movie fan
- Good points:
- Great massive sound from what is quite a compact unit. Sits inconspicuously in front of my tv without taking up too much space but generates a really big sound from tv. I had bought predominantly for watching movies and music programmes but it makes a significant difference to all tv viewing - dialogue really is much more easily audible and natural coming through the Orbitsound. It's also awesome with my iPhone and a great way to play music. Fantastic value and sounds much better than my neighbour's Bose soundbar at about four times as much. So generally i'm very happy.
- Bad points:
- Internal packaging could be a bit neater - too many boxes! Otherwise think it's really good product - am struggling to find any negatives it is really useful item with lots of features for something at this price.

- Good points:
- Good sound reproduction which really enhances the fairly poor sound from a slim line TV.
- Bad points:
- Bass box a bit chunky.
