Customer Review
Reviewed in India on 6 August 2020
The sound quality is crystal clear. The Philips 6080b sound system offers more than I paid for it. I was undecided among Panasonic SC HT30GW-K, Infinity Hardrock 210, and Philips 6080b. As I have already owned Phillips, Infinity (speakers), and Panasonic sound systems in the past, I knew that none of them will disappoint me. However the Infinity 210 got eliminated in my research as it offered the least features than the other two and had very inconsistent customer reviews. I preferred the Panasonic HT30GW as it offers a very unique simple design and more power (80watts), but unfortunately it doesn’t have the Bass control. One thing I observed in the customer reviews of the Philips 6089b that many customers mentioned the experience of “crystal clear” sound produced by it in this price range which turned out to be true. Of course it will be very unfair to compare it to the more expensive sound systems.
The design of this unit turned out to be really nice. It is very shiny but not in a cheap way. Its shine hides the physical controls on the system, making them stealth and cool.
It also remembers the sound volume and bass control setting number if you switch it off. The remote it comes with it is cheap and just okay, but I really don’t need it much. One more important thing, in the case you lose your remote or damage it, you can still turn the system on/off with the physical play button on the system itself by holding it for 2-3 seconds. Only thing I haven’t figured out is how to control the base setting if the remote gets damaged as there is no base knob on the system, perhaps a universal remote can work.
Tips - Read the user manual which comes with it for the proper placement of the 2.1 sound system. I also bought a small voltage stabilizer to use with it from my local shop because in my area voltage fluctuates a lot in summer. A voltage stabilizer can protect it from getting short circuited and also helps to maintain the sound volumes consistent. Make sure to adjust the volume of your phone/tablet/laptop if you listen the audio with the Bluetooth of your device otherwise you might think the Philips 6080b isn’t loud enough.
