Analysis

Build Aspect

Blaupunkt audio products are making a good name for themselves and are tremendous value for money spent. Lets dive deeper into the SBW 03. The soundbar itself is made from plastic with a metal grill and is equipped with 2 x 2.25″ drivers that perform the mid-range and treble duty. Whereas the subwoofer is equipped with a rather decent 6.5″ driver for the LFE workload. Predominantly the construction and build is very good. While the soundbar is made from plastic with a metal front grill, the subwoofer on the other hand is made from MDF. The subwoofer is side firing with a front bass reflex port to extend and accentuate bass output. Soundbar has the capability to be wall mounted and accordingly is relatively light weight. The abundant of input options such as Optical, HDMI ARC, Aux, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, are supported.

Performance Aspect

Well, lets talk about the elephant in the room first, the driver setup in the soundbar. This soundbar has just 2 humble sized drivers in the soundbar, its a big disappointment from a product costing as much as this does. On the bright side the subwoofer unit possess an adequate 6.5″ driver and therefore bass is thumpy and has solid weighted response. And while the soundbar has just 2 drivers that work tirelessly to provide a balanced audio presentation and it works well too until it doesn’t. Stereo imaging suffers and so does dialogue intelligibility, although admittedly the treble and highs are pristine, open and clinical. There is another fly in the ointment, the Bluetooth connectivity which is glitchy. Therefore in light of all this, while this soundbar has decent audio performance the price at which that is achieved is hardly value for money, go lickety-split elsewhere.
