Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3 soundbar: Great but not for everyone

[@pauljenkins6877]

I would love to see a comparison with the Arc and the Bose 900.

[@muktagrover6530]

Which to buy ?

[@alingrecu1317]

None, when it comes to sound bars, there is Sennheiser ambeo and the rest

[@michaelhueber4701]

sennheiser ambeo is 2500-3000 euro 😅

[@davidgodal98]

Harman Kardon is about to join this group of soundbars with it's new citation multibeam 1100 that's due to be released in a couple of days, hopefully you'll get your hands on it soon enough so you can compare it to these! 👌

[@daniel243ish]

Thanks! I like Bowers & Wilkins. I thought it sounded pretty good. But nothing can ever compare to a sub and rears as a base system. I have a Sonos Arc with a sub and rears. My only complaint is the lack of upward firing speakers for Atmos. Outside of that I like it a lot. It’s not like my old surround system which kicked serious ass but it’s suffices for the area it’s in. Thanks again for the comparison.

[@chrismitsos6817]

The panorama does have atmos up firing speakers

[@ozcanpaso2977]

Why no comparison to the Stage? The Stage is more expensive yes, but does that always warrant a better product or is there no comparison to be made as the Stage blows the B&W out of the water?

[@DonThilo]

Great review! I'd love to see you include the B&O Beosound Stage into the comparison (even though it's normal price tag is 1499€+ I've seen it for 1199€ which puts it much closer to the Sonos arc, Bose 900 & Panorama 3). As I am looking for a solution without a sub and which will also be used as a main speaker for music in the living room, I am highly interested to see how it compares to the other three contestants in this "particular" field!

[@davidvasquez4489]

Its going for 500 usd now online. I guess for that price its worth it?

[@1blackballed]

Btw I love these videos regardless of not needing a new system 😂😂😂 just love seeing new tech 😁

[@micahpbt9638]

Can you get Dolby Atmos through bluetooth? Or does it need to be connected via HDMI?

[@stuartmills7481]

Thank you for another excellent very informative review, I always watch your review video's more than once & very much looking forward to watching this one again ! - I am also looking forward to your Dolby Atmos soundbar comparison. Thank you again for this review 👌

[@0livierlambert]

Do you think you gonna test too the new lg s95 and Samsung 990b ?

[@master-128]

Agree! We need a test of Samsung q990b

[@niyaazisaacs1990]

Amazing video! Had a listen a few days ago here in S.A by a known importer and my god. What is B&W thinking and who is tuning these speakers. Really disappointed, was super excited to replace my SONOS with this but ain’t going to happen 💔

[@csucsanat]

Super review. Every aspect is addressed. It was a real help to do a must listen list of what to buy right now. Thanks a lot! I cant wait for the soundbar buying guide :D

[@tonywrigley5174]

Great in-depth review, fair and balanced. I would love to see you review the Denon product range..

[@daimlerelite32]

Can you please review the jbl 9.1

[@barrydickson1954]

As always a great review with what people need and want to know!

[@robinspoudyal313]

Can you post a link for the TV furniture please?

[@JuanTallo]

Great review, impecable produced! Thank you!!

[@14skills14]

anyone know where the TV cabinet is from/make please?

[@kylestaker9279]

Which would you pick this or the arc?

[@1blackballed]

I'm not sure why Harmon Kardon citation series hardly gets a mention as I have the citation multibeam 700 with the citation sub s mini and the sound is incredible and the bass is like I have never felt before and you can pick up the bar and sub for about 700-800 and even better picked up a citation one for only £55 the other week as an add on for placing up stairs and it's absolutely brilliant adding it to the group of speakers 😀 how cheap for such a great speaker £55 I'm definitely buying more for that cheap price 😀😀😀 ohhh and it works flawlessly with Chromecast so no separate apps needed 😀

[@whatonearthamito]

soundbars like this are so pricey they come close to an entry level REAL home cinema, which will blow ANY soundbar out of the water

[@murtaza74]

Sennheiser Ambeo Denon Sonos

[@AudioElectronicsChicago]

good stuff

[@robsonbraun]

That's top...

[@armylrs2391]

The Panorama 1 and 2 were such a gigantic step above the panorama 3. I don't know why Bowers and Wilkins decided to build such an inferior and cheaper product. The Panorama 3 should have a different model name all together, It's just your average everyday LG or Samsung quality soundbar. The Panorama 1 and 2 were truly special and unique beautifully crafted premium units. Still better than 99% of contemporary premium sound bars. I think the Ambeo and YSP-5600 are the only two that come close.

[@cichlidfeak]

Haha upfiring supwoffers....wrong that was the atmos channels😅

[@KuyaArbee]

thank you for being honest... this soundbar is super SAD! whoever at BOWERS AND WILKINS passed this..... smh

[@Birmingham_racing]

£500 at Peter Tyson

[@5cent27]

2:08 and for that reason I’m out.😅

[@Mr21scott]

$1k? Get real. I bought this bar and had it for all of 15 minutes before it got sent back.

[@techno4head]

Bad sound?

[@Mr21scott]

@@techno4head It wasn't bad sound but rather "OK" sound. I'm not really an audiophile but to me it didn't sound any better than a Vizio or similar that you can get for practically half the price. All their PR talk is just that. And frankly I was annoyed they're trying to use the B&W name to gouge people for something that's just not worth it.

[@techno4head]

Yes that and I think they are using the name B&W for price and not quality. Thanks for the reply
