Soundbars With Multiple HDMI Inputs

"Upgrade Sound Quality with TCL Q Class!...The soundbar also features Ray Danz technology and upward-firing speakers that deliver an impressive, immersive soundstage, with deep, rich, powerful bass that exceeded my expectations. ...It’s perfectly designed to blend in with the decor and is absolutely a worthwhile audio tech upgrade!"

"Good for price, only problem is that the audio sometimes blips while changing volume with optical audio. Not a huge problem as 3.5mm input is fine for my purposes....Note if your primary intended use is for your higher end HDTV, this soundbar does not support HDMI inputs or outputs. But there are programming workarounds for using your primary remote control. "

"Great sound bar, limited inputs....The sound bar fills the room with audio and the subwoofer performs well. It only has optical input and Bluetooth input, no HDMI arc. ...Large room and can finally hear all the dialogue lol descent bass ,there is no hdmi input only optical so no arc features but does the job"

"After hooking up, I went on to test sound with Dolby 5.1 input. First, the bass is impressive – powerful for such a small enclosure. ...However, I wish it had a couple more HDMI inputs. No rear speaker expandability (as far as I know). "

"For me personally, it's ok since this system is in a living room with not other inputs so the utilization of the eARC is fine and makes the system even easier since it turns on as soon as I turn the tv on. the HDMI cable that comes with the system, don't expect much length from it if you do a hidden wire setup with wall mount. ...Setting up the Elevate SE is straightforward, thanks to the provided HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) port, optical input, and Bluetooth connectivity. "

"It doesn't perform any HDMI passthrough or switching, for example - it only functions as an HDMI eARC system, with a single HDMI input that only works when connected to an ARC/eARC compatible TV. ...Connect the sub-woofer to your TV (HDMI Arc port) with the supplied HDMI cable, then plug the sub-woofer into a power outlet, and power it on. "

"There is a nice hidden display in the front that shows which input is selected while you are changing inputs and then goes away which is nice and stealth. ...Connected this to Nvidia Shield (2019) to HDMI input. HDMI output to older 2006 Fujitsu Plasma TV which has a normal HDMI input (no e/arc). "

"Setup was simple, as one would expect for a simple sound bar. It has no HDMI inputs, so no other devices connect directly to it. ...I wish it acted as a video switch with more HDMI inputs. I don’t like that it ties up an HDMI port without also acting as a switch. "

"Additionally, I'm a bit disappointed there are no HDMI passthrough inputs on the Arc Ultra like there are on some other soundbars, and to a lesser degree, I'm disappointed there is no DTS:X support. ...The tech works very well, intelligently switching from input methods without user intervention."

"At that price, it should have an HDMI input like my Vizio M213AD-K8 that is a third of the price. ...The sound abd seoaration is great to go along with decent bass. Would be a 5 if it had an hdmi input. "

"Question: Can the Model 10 sub-woofer be modified to add a RCS input plug?...Its Bluetooth connectivity and HDMI input ensure seamless integration with your devices. "

"I can control the sound bar with the TV remote through HDMI ARC and there is the 2nd HDMI on the bar that doesn't make you lose a HDMI port on the TV....Easy connection and simple control. HDMI passthrough works as it should."

"It's easy to connect and use with multiple devices and works nice in 30m2 (330 sqft) space for music, gaming and movies! ...Good sound. Different input sources. Sleek look seamless under a TV. Different sounds level. "

"A compact and convenient audio output device. The two HDMI inputs allow a flexible use of the soundbar. ...Sound quality is very clear. East use with multiple modes vi bluetooth"

"Good 2.1 Soundbar with Subwoofer!...I got a new HDMI from Monoprice and all problems with ARC audio went away. ...You have to scroll thru inputs on the soundbar to fix the dropouts."

"Bluetooth, wireless, usb , mic input etc...No annoying cords since you can recharge the battery and all of the input options made it work for even a commercial tv that we have."

"It's a fairly standard audiobar with minimal inputs. Little disappointed there's no 3.5mm jack. ...Great speaker! I have some issues with it correctly connecting with the TV even with the HDMI cord otherwise I'd give it 5 stars."

"HDMI..because it wouldn't pair easily with the subwoofer..nor could I get anything to work and it's not my first time having a soundbar and woofer. ...Lots of sound, easy set up via HDMI arc or Optical...Used the app to calibrate the sound and it was easy and effective. Simple set up—use HDMI arc or HDMI earc if possible—it sounds better and the tv remote can control the soundbar power and volume."

"**Features and Connectivity** The Samsung soundbar is packed with features that make it a joy to use. It supports multiple input sources, including HDMI, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, making it easy to connect to my TV, smartphone, or tablet. ...Nice that it has an extra HDMI input in addition to eARC. Voice enhancement and night mode also work exceptionally well."

"I do no like that it comes with only one hdmi arc input....Optical audio is just so widely regarded as the best option that it feels silly for this to have been produced with nothing more than a single HDMI port. Like it doesn’t even support audio pass through (because there’s no HDMI out)."

"It can fill a good 800 SF area with amazing sound. Installation was easy and so far no issues like the old one with the HDMI ARC connection....Samsung HW-B750D 5.1ch Soundbar with Dolby Digital...Once we put on the ARC HDMI cable, it was superior sound. Cons: It does not come with back speakers. "

"Good sound but not quite what my old surround sound (multiple speakers) provided. But perfect for what I needed....Wonderful sound. Hooked into my tv with the HDMI auper easy."
