Good sound with fat bass.
The menu should be a little easier. Otherwise, I am very satisfied with the soundbar.
Unfortunately always defective
Unfortunately, I have to change my mind.
The first Fidelio soon developed faults:
Buzzing in the speakers with a black picture, satellite too quiet, suddenly no more charging possible.
After almost 2 years I got a replacement product, initially ok, now problems again. Suddenly refuses access, we have to unplug, cannot be switched off.... buzzing, satellite charging indicator constantly on.
For the price only trouble on the neck, very unfortunate.
Not recommended....
I am otherwise satisfied with Philips, but this soundbar is not mature.Top quality product with super sound

Fidelio Sound Bar
Pro
- Huge quality
- Nice sound
Contra
- Difficult to manage on the smartphone
- No instructions for playing music on the phone
Good product
To be able to benefit from all the functions, it is absolutely necessary to connect the Soundbar via HDMI eARC.
If you only have an HDMI ARC connection, on TVs that are a few years old for example, the audio configurations are very limited.Pro
- Extensive features
- Excellent sound
- Detachable speakers
Contra
- Lack of documentation
Disappointing
After only one year and the latest update, buzzing from the SW here too. Problems with satellite speakers. After the update, the volume increases automatically. Downgrade not possible, no support from Philips. Simply bad in this price range!
Pro
- Good sound
- Visually appealing
Contra
- A little awkward to use on the mobile phone
- Bass too strong from the factory
- One year of enjoyment
Exceptional sound bar
Delivery by Planzer was top notch. The driver rang the doorbell and dropped the parcel off at the salon with no problem.
Pro
- His masterly
- Perfect design
- Easy to configure as long as everything is Philips
- Perfect subwoofer
- Easy-to-use remote control
- Nothing to say, just perfect
- Everything was supplied with a power cable
Contra
- A little heavy
Good sound but no Swiss cable...
Unfortunately, no Swiss device cable was included. Had to be purchased later. Otherwise top and are satisfied.
Pro
- Good sound
Chic, flexible and powerful
This soundbar is really worth every franc. The integration into the WLAN works well - as long as you read the instructions. The sound is top notch for more than just everyday use and more than powerful enough for medium-sized rooms. The surround speakers, which can be removed and placed anywhere in the room, are simply a hit (otherwise this would have been a killer criterion for my wife ;-) ). Of course (but this is not the fault of the soundbar), all the weaknesses of a TV sound also come to the fore, for example, the speaker sound for news on SRF, which is transmitted exclusively via the centre channel, which then comes across as rather quiet and muffled on this soundbar without boosting this channel.
Pro
- chic (if a little wide)
- Good and spatial sound already in the standard setting
- Each individual channel can be separately adjusted in volume (not a matter of course!)
- Detachable, completely wireless rear speakers
Contra
- Connection to dts Play-Fi app sometimes breaks (but is not significant in daily operation)
- Sound purists may miss some punch in the lower mids
Cool soundbar with powerful bass
Makes me in combination with a LG beamer and a 110 inch Elite Screens screen a top figure! Bass bangs quite purely. For movies absolutely brilliant. For listening to music, I switch to my Klipsch system, especially with complex music such as the harder gear of metal (death, black, thrash) the soundbar meets its limits and sounds somewhat "washed out". But I bought the soundbar primarily for watching movies and there it is unbeatable in my opinion. Horny part.
Pro
- Bass!
- Simple but elegant design
- Impressive sound for the compact dimensions
- Easy to mount and everything included for wall mounting
- Easy to set up
- Eats practically all formats
Contra
- Detachable surround speakers more gimmick than anything else (don't really bring it)
- For music (prefer metal) rather less suitable
Well, had expected more from the system
Pro
- It has Dolby Atmos
Contra
- No Night Mode
- Subwoofer is huge
- At lowest setting of the subwoofer is still a big bass to feel
- No settings menu via TV
- Only two HDMI inputs
Bluffed
Very good value for money but a shame for the price not to have a Swiss AC adapter.
Otherwise nothing to say, clear and precise sound, perfect bass without buzzing.
Compatible HDMI 2.1, dolby atmos and vision as well as IMAX -> only happiness.Pro
- Sound quality
- Clean bass
- 2 satellite speakers
- Perfect in a Philips environment
Contra
- Did not have a Swiss AC adapter supplied with it
