JBL bears the reputation of well-known speaker brands, and the sound quality performance of its echo wall products is worth looking forward to. From the configuration point of view, JBL does not seem to value DTS.

JBL echo wall

JBL High-end echo wall products like STV880 do not support DTS encoding at all. It seems that the echo wall is only for streaming media. Prepared by users, this echo wall is not very friendly to domestic users, because the video sites of echo wall even AC3 are rare, which like Netflix will be equipped with Atoms, the downloaded movies still have a lot of DTS audio tracks.

  • In contrast, the new echo wall BAR 5.1 can be considered. The detachable rear surround is a bit interesting. Although there is a problem of ugliness and instability after removal of echo wall, it is a good idea. Anyone who is interested may wish to study it carefully.

LG's echo wall

LG's echo wall is not licensed. I have repeatedly mentioned the SL8Y + SPK8 package. Only more than 2,000 pieces can be used to experience the real 5.1.2 echo wall. There is no opponent in terms of cost performance. Of course, LG’s echo wall audio time is not short, but there is not much reputation for echo wall sound quality, and the material is very good. However, the echo wall sound quality is not at all acceptable. You can review foreign evaluations. For example, the subwoofer is not strong enough. In fact, I said it at the beginning. Sound quality is directly proportional to price.
