Teufel Soundbars

compared

The Teufel Cinebar Ultima is a true all-rounder with an integrated, yet powerful subwoofer. Admittedly, you can’t really call the soundbar compact due to its great depth and height, but the extra volume and Teufel’s Dynamore Ultra technology ensure that the Cinebar Ultima can produce a rich, spacious sound that will captivate most. So it’s the perfect solution for those who don’t want to put a subwoofer in their living room, but still don’t want to miss out on powerful bass. Additional features such as Wi-Fi, an app, subwoofer and satellite speakers can be purchased in the various bundles to further enhance the Ultima.

Teufel’s more compact solution for brilliant sound comes with a stylish design and the practical Raumfeld app with multi-room function. The app allows access to many streaming services, and the soundbar can also be controlled very easily with it. The integrated subwoofer cannot compete with an external subwoofer or the integrated subwoofer of the Cinebar Ultima, but it produces a pretty good bass for its size. But the bundle with subwoofer would definitely be worth it if you have room for it.

Thanks to Teufel’s Dynamore 3D technology, the soundbar seems quite large with the up- and side-firing speakers, and the virtual surround sound also works surprisingly well. However, the sound doesn’t really come from the back, of course. So the bundle with rear speakers really makes sense if you want to have a completely enveloping surround sound. The sound is even reflected from the ceiling through the up-firing speakers – even without Dolby AtmosDolby Atmos is a 3D sound format that adds sounds from above to surround sound systems and can also assign additional information to sounds so that they can be reproduced even more realistically..

The Cinebar Duett comes in a futuristic look and, as the name implies, forms a duet of a wide soundbar and a powerful subwoofer typical for Teufel.The soundbar itself has been equipped with 6 power amplifiers with a total of 10 speakers. Moreover, with its four side-firing speakers, The Soundbar looks even a lot wider than it already is. The virtual surround sound is really good thanks to Teufel’s Dynamore Ultra technology, and most soundbars from other manufacturers can’t keep in this regard. But if you really want enveloping surround sound, you should consider the bundle with rear speakers. Because you can only get real surround sound with satellite speakers – but you still have to do without Dolby AtmosDolby Atmos is a 3D sound format that adds sounds from above to surround sound systems and can also assign additional information to sounds so that they can be reproduced even more realistically. with Teufel soundbars.

Calling the Cinebar Pro a soundbar doesn’t really do it justice. The dimensions of the soundbar are quite large, so you can rather speak of a compressed, but still full-fledged hi-fi system with a powerful subwoofer. The sound profile is well balanced and can also be individually calibrated, so that the soundbar can be used for music, movies and dialogue-heavy content. In addition, the virtual surround sound is very convincing thanks to Dynamore Ultra and side-firing speakers, but can be upgraded significantly with rear speakers. However, as with other Teufel soundbars, Dolby AtmosDolby Atmos is a 3D sound format that adds sounds from above to surround sound systems and can also assign additional information to sounds so that they can be reproduced even more realistically. material is not supported.

The sound system is also well positioned in terms of smart features with Wifi. It can also be conveniently operated and calibrated via the Google Home smartphone app, and streaming services are not neglected thanks to the integrated Chromecast feature – so they can be streamed directly from the smartphone to the soundbar.

The Cinebar One is Teufel’s most compact soundbar and should therefore be reviewed separately. Of course, there is no question that the ~14″ wide sound bar is not able to fill a huge living room with sound. Its strengths are primarily in creating an impressive and dynamic soundscape in the near field, which makes it a great option for gaming. The USB port with integrated sound card is also suitable for this, so the soundbar can be connected directly to the PC via this interface.

The virtual surround sound is quite convincing with the side-firing speakers and Dynamore Ultra and envelops the listener very pleasantly. However, the atmosphere evaporates quite quickly in large rooms, which is due to the soundbar’s small volume. Especially the bass seems a bit meager at a distance, which is why the bundle with a subwoofer really makes a noticeable difference.
