I have a new addition to my Sony Bravia setup - I purchased the Sony SRS NS7 neckband speaker. I've done my initial testing, it is really able to simulate 360 degrees spatial sound of ATMOS. My initial impressions is that it is excellent for movies, para kang nasa sinehan, but only good (not excellent) for music because of lack of base. I'll try to thinker more on the settings, and probably have a seperate thread for the review of the product. Note that the support for ATMOS and 360 degrees spatial sound only works with Sony Bravia XR tv's.
I bought this recently during Amazon Prime Day sale. Local price from Sony is P16k, so ok na rin ang nabili ko sa Prime Day which cost me around P10k because I think you shouldn't buy this product at full price of 16k.
My review is it's good for watching TV kung wala kang home theater setup, at ayaw mong maistorbo mga kasama mo sa bahay dahil sa volume ng TV. With this neckband speaker I don't need subtitles anymore. Clear ang dialog, and the music is good. Hindi rin bothersome ang weight ng speakers when placed. Sa 3D surround sound naman, it's good also pero hindi naman game changer. I'll admit there are times na akala ko umuulan sa labas, pero yun pala it's the white noise from the scene that I'm watching. Sometimes though in action scenes where the music is very loud and punchy, and while car chases and gunfights are happening, like in Netflix's "The Gray Man", the speakers can't handle everything and just drowns everything down a level.
For the bad naman, I'll admit nabudol ako thinking this is good for gaming. It is not. The latency is noticeable. I don't know why reviews on YouTube or tech sites say it shines in gaming. Good thing there's a supplied transmitter puck because without it the lag is horrible. But even with the transmitter I still notice latency of more than half a second I guess. FPS gaming suffers because yes I can hear other player's footsteps near me and I can distinguish where they're coming from but the thing is they already appeared in my vision so they're already a step ahead of me. Even with VRR and ALLM already turned on, latency is still noticeable. The speakers could benefit more if additional settings can be accessed to change the sound profile.
