CONCLUSION

   After spending just over 2 weeks with the Majority Sierra 4 things clearly stand out, size, volume levels, positioning audio and mids performance. Size is not an issue in my case cause i used the Sierra with both my 65 inch OLED and my brand new 100 inch retractable projector screen (both are well over 1 meter in length) but i do expect some people to have limitations so potential buyers should obviously keep this in mind. Volume levels are very good and as a matter of fact just as good and perhaps a tad over what the Sonos Beam 2 delivers and yes more volume is always a good thing (although chances are you will not be using either soundbar at full volume). In terms of positioning audio, the Sierra does very well thanks not only to its up-firing speakers but also the 4 front speakers which take advantage of the soundbar length (more space between each of them). I was also delighted to see that the USB port can playback MP3, FLAC, WAV and WMA audio file formats so if you enjoy having your entire music collection in a flash drive like i do this will probably come in handy. Unfortunately, not all is perfect and so even though mids and lows are very good the Sierra lacks the highs (clarity/detail) of the Sonos Beam Gen 2 something which was expected (it does cost less than half after all). The top media buttons are large and very easy to use but also represent a potential issue since they are made out of rubber and in my lifetime, I’ve seen way too many rubber parts break down and become sticky. Now i have no way of knowing whether or not this will happen here too but there's a good possibility it will. Finally, the lack of an eARC port on the Sierra means you can't listen to Dolby Atmos lossless (True HD) but only to Dolby Atmos lossy (Dolby Digital Plus) and even though i don't expect this to be an issue for 99% of the people out there (once again streaming services don't support True HD) there may be some who'll end up looking for another solution (primarily people with compatible media players and/or consoles like the XBOX One and the NVIDIA Shield Pro).

   At the time of this review the standalone Majority Sierra Dolby Atmos Soundbar retails for just 239.62Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) and for 312.55Euros with the wireless subwoofer (Amazon.de). Personally, I think the standalone model does a very good job even with bass but if you really enjoy bass the wireless subwoofer should improve the overall experience. At the end of the day the Majority Sierra may not be the best Dolby Atmos soundbar out there but thanks to its incredibly good price/performance ratio it still deserves the Golden Award.
