REVIEW & AWARDS

Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+ Dolby Atmos soundbar review - Read More

"Unsurprisingly, pretty much every soundbar is marketed as if it's equally well-equipped for music and movies. Of course, that's rarely, if ever, the case, and our expectations were that the Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+ might, thanks to its large, forward-firing drivers, lose some ground to the best in class on movie sound but beat them with music.

Interestingly, that's not the case. While not as enveloping as some, the Soundbar+'s Dolby Atmos delivery is impressively detailed, solid and satisfying, and it effectively combines spaciousness and clarity when playing non-Atmos soundtracks, too. It is, in fact, a slightly lacklustre musical performance (with a couple of usability niggles) that holds it back from the full five stars.

That said, if you're in the market for a soundbar and are already firmly in the Bluesound camp, there's plenty to like about the Pulse Soundbar+." - What Hi-Fi? 

Bluesound Soundbar+ and Flex 2i Review - Read More

" A rocky setup time clouded this review, but I try to push past things like that and just focus on the audio (ever set up a high-end turntable?). The sound from the Soundbar+ and Flex 2i speakers was great, crisp, and clear all day. The surrounds really shined here, probably some of the best surround sound with a wireless system I have heard to date. I think with some tweaks here and there, Bluesound will be going toe to toe with the big guys. Should you consider this system? Yes, but be aware it’s not a plug-and-play affair, it does take some effort to get it just right. If they can fix the setup woes, this will be a rockstar of a system." - Indiana Lang 

Review: Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+ – Soundbar met veel finesse - Read More

"The Pulse Soundbar+ is a soundbar that is difficult to compare with other devices in the segment. The larger and sometimes more difficult to place design allowed the acoustic designers to build a soundbar that sounds more like a larger speaker. That makes it more musical than most and also capable of displaying a lot of subtlety. Dialog reproduction is excellent. That choice for nuance and detail makes the Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+ come across as less powerful and overwhelming. However, the wide appearance and natural sound make this soundbar a very good choice for all kinds of films and TV series, even those that do not have to rely on exploding cars or transforming robots. The fact that you have many streaming options and multi-room options thanks to BluOS is the icing on the cake.." - Jamie Biesemans

REVIEW: BLUESOUND PULSE SOUNDBAR - Read More

"Again, the key here is the midrange quality. Dialogue has excellent clarity, particularly with DSP settings toggled off.

As it stands, Bluesound is raising the bar of what can be expected of ‘lifestyle’ and multiroom audio products, delivering a Soundbar that looks like any other, but performs like something else entirely.

If you have decided 5.1 isn’t for you, or are simply looking for a one-box solution to improve your TV with the added perk of wireless music playback, you would be unwise to not at least, audition the Bluesound Pulse Soundbar.

Be prepared to be amazed." - Tarkan Ceviker

Bluesound Pulse Soundbar and Pulse Sub Review - Read More

"It hardly needs to be said: For TV and movie sound, the Pulse Soundbar provides an immeasurable upgrade over in-TV audio, with order-of-magnitude gains in range, dynamics, and tonal realism. When I casually watched news, sports, and the like, the Pulse quickly disappeared into the furniture—precisely what you want from a soundbar—by becoming part of the TV, just louder, deeper, and much, much better. When I watched movies, especially with the Pulse Sub paired and dialed in for a 2.1-channel system with its matching subwoofer, the Bluesound delivered a qualitative experience (less the top 10 dB of “show-demo” loudness and the surround dimension) that any home theater vet would approve of. And even the closest music listening, especially of well-recorded natural-acoustic fare, revealed sound quality that wouldn’t shame a serious audio system many times its size. If this isn’t a soundbar encomium, I don’t know what is. " - Daniel Kumin

Bluesound Pulse Soundbar review - Read More

" Although it dazzled us with its sound quality across the board – from compressed TV audio right through to lossless music streaming – the Pulse Soundbar just fails to be the home cinema hub it could have been. 

A multi-room network audio player that can fetch streams from anywhere, its lack of HDMI switching, manual network shares and odd design (that sees it block the view of a TV it’s placed in front of) takes a little of the shine from the otherwise intriguing and impressive Bluesound concept. " - Jamie Carter 

Review: Bluesound Pulse Soundbar - Read More

"The Bluesound Pulse Soundbar has great power, and sounds tough for both movies and music. The dialogue is huge and clear, and there is plenty of oomph in action movies, aplus the rhythms in party music come out well. Along with the subwoofer, this will be even fiercer. There is no doubt that the soundbars with subwoofers have even deeper and cooler bass.
But Bluesound has so many qualities combined with power; in addition, we like the usability and multi-room feature that it is overall the best in the field. " - Geir Nordby

Bluesound Pulse Soundbar Review - Read More

" We tested the Pulse with TV audio and various music sources and overall it performed extremely well. We found that with TV programmes the soundbar was able to deliver clear dialogue with a balanced and pleasingly wide soundstage. This was especially useful with movies, where the Pulse was able to deliver the more complex sound designs with real style. The soundbar was capable of a surprising amount of bass, which means a subwoofer isn't a necessity, but if you want to let the Pulse concentrate on the mid-range and higher frequencies, the addition of an active subwoofer can certainly add greater low-end impact to movie soundtracks. When it came to music the Pulse was very impressive, with its ability to handle high-res audio and MQA making it a genuinely good quality speaker for music. The Bluesound Pulse is certainly a great choice for those looking for a more audiophile soundbar but it is missing some features that we would really expect at this price point." - Steve Withers
