First impression of the Harman Kardon Enchant 900
The soundbar is packaged neatly. The cardboard fills up the box, so the soundbar doesn't shake around. The soundbar is in a fabric cover, so it remains dust-free. I notice that the soundbar shows text when I turn it on. When I change a setting like turning on surround sound, you also see this. The box also contains a remote with batteries, a power cord, HDMI cable, and the materials for a wall mount.
Easy setup
I can easily install the soundbar with the included power cord and HDMI cable. When I turn on the TV, it's automatically connected and the sound comes from the soundbar.
Clear sound
The soundbar has 9 speakers that face forwards, sideways, and upwards. I can hear clear and full sound this way. Thanks to the Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and MultiBeam technologies, I can hear spatial audio in any spot in the room. The bass is noticeable, but not very strong. If you like listening to a deep bass, get the Enchant subwoofer as well. I can set the surround sound to several levels, but I don't hear much of a difference between them.
Room calibration
With room calibration, the soundbar scans the space and adjusts the sound accordingly. Calibrating the sound takes about 1 minute. After this, I can listen to a room-filling sound where the audio is clear anywhere in the room. Even when I'm 6m away from the soundbar.
Easy controls and connectivity
I can control the soundbar with the included remote or my smartphone via the Harman Kardon app. In the app, I can find various options to personalize the sound with. I can turn the bass up or down, for example.
Conclusion
I recommend the Harman Kardon Enchant 900 if you're looking for a compact soundbar that produces room-filling sound. I didn't spend much time on the installation because it's very easy. With the room calibration, the sound is clear and full in every corner of the room. I can easily control the soundbar remotely and adjust the sound to my liking via the app.
