None of them are really are they? I mean they all need a power cable so are not`wireless`

Well yeah, but you're likely to have plug sockets near where you want them and don't have to run cables from the tv accross the room from a receiver. Bit like saying my wireless phone charger isn't wireless because it requires power. It's a stupid argument.

The Atmos speakers are less impressive owing to the subtle nature of the effects. I can hear the difference they make but it's not as noticeable as the upgraded rears.

Were you putting a lossless atmos track through them?

If a product is stated as wireless it should be WIRELESS surely

Saying it is wireless and needing power wires is MORE STUPID :rolleyes:

The wireless aspect just means the data is sent wirelessly. How else would you want them? battery charged with the potential to run out mid-film when it degrades after a few years?

No i would like the advertising to be accurate

Wireless `implies` no cables
I know they will need power but it should not call itself wireless if wires are used,,,simple as that

Many items perform a wireless function but the base hardware requires power. Your argument is flawed.

ANDARIAL · 3 Dec 2020 at 09:30

I find Your argument is flawed as well my friend

Will have to agree we disagree and Happy Xmas to you

Yeah, tried Saving Private Ryan, Ready Player One and Mad Max, all 4K Blu Ray. I've bumped them to to +6db so I'll see if that makes much difference.

Some of them are. They dock into the soundbar to charge then you move them when you are using them.

I can't remember who but I think it may have been LG that made truly wireless but I'm sure @lucid knows what I'm talking about.
