I purchased this on Jun 17, 2024. It lasted 6 months. In late November 2024 it started making extremely loud static whenever it was turned on. I changed from HDMI to optical connectors thinking the TV Arc output was bad. I disconnected all inputs and the static still occurred. Customer service will only offer to repair it, which probably means a refurbished unit. Shipping is at my expense. I have owned many B&W products (floor standing, headphones, computer speakers, portable Bluetooth speaker) and this is by far the worst product I have ever experienced. This is my last B&W purchase. Their use of cheap Chinese components has finally caught up to them.

This sounds bar is a piece of garbage. Don't get me wrong it does sound fantastic... when it works...At the time I bought it it was a thousand bucks so I expected it to just work with no hassle. Unfortunately that has not been the case. Over the year or so I've owned it, I have constantly struggled with it not waking or responding to any audio or even touch input, refusing to switch from Spotify to HDMI, and entering random restart loops playing the boot noise over and over again.I have tried multiple different HDMI cables and a new power cable. Nothing has fixed the issue. If you plan on wall mounting the bar you will need a 90deg power plug since the factory plug is too long and pushes up against the wall (come on B&W you should have designed for this).Anyways by far the worst thing is the intermittent unresonsiveness. About 30% of the time I turn my TV on, the sound bar just doesn't play any audio output. The only way to fix it is to restart it either via the app (which is useless aside from managing Wi-Fi and firmware) or just unplugging it. Then after it restarts it usually will work. Sometimes, if I pause my video for too long, the same thing happens and the sound bar refuses to play any audio. The top panel doesn't even light up when I touch it either, it's like the whole thing is bricked.This thing is a premium product and is very expensive so people should expect a lot from it. My expectations for even a basic sound bar have not been met. I messed around with different cables for long enough that I ran out of the return period unfortunately so I'm stuck with this thing.

I was looking for a replacement soundbar for a Bose Soundtouch 300 that all of the sudden stopped working. Too replace the soundbar and the bass module as well as the outdated satellite surrounds, I would have been talking over two thousand dollars. I researched best stand alone soundbars hoping to find a bar that I would be satisfied with. This is how I became familiar with the Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3. I have been using the bar for about three weeks now and am overall satisfied with it. The Panorama 3 is very easy to set up out of the box. I did make the mistake of using the same HDMI cable that I used in my Bose setup and lost sound at times or sound would cut in and out. Since switching to the HDMI cable that came with the Panorama 3 I've had no such issues. Overall I have rated this bar a four out of five stars because it really could use a bit more bass, but for me not a deal breaker. The only other issue for me is that the HDMI cable could be longer. I am happy with this purchase. I should get years of enjoyment from this bar. Overall very good sound quality.

Very weak Bass. Sound is tinny and not at all immersive. No audio inputs for other systems like Sonos. Im going back to my older Panorama. Bigger footprint but way better. Very disappointing.
