Pros and cons

According to our soundbar expert

Thanks to the high-end sound quality, the audio of this soundbar is very good.
With the built-in Google Assistant, you can control the soundbar via voice commands.
Add the soundbar to the Harman Kardon multi-room system and stream your music throughout the entire house.
The soundbar doesn't support AirPlay
You can't connect the soundbar to the Citation One for a 5.0 or 5.1 surround setup, because you need the Citation Towers or Citation Surround for that.

Description

You bring the sound of your series, movies, and music to life with the Citation soundbar. Thanks to the built-in subwoofer, the sound effects really come into their own. With the built-in Google Chromecast, you can stream music to the soundbar via streaming services like Spotify. You can easily control the soundbar with voice controls or via the touch control panel. Connect the soundbar to your smartphone via WiFi or Bluetooth to use Google Assistant. That way, you can control your music with your voice and receive answers from the Assistant to your questions about the weather, traffic, or your own calendar. Connect the soundbar to the Citation Surround speakers or the Citation Sub for a 5.1 home cinema sound setup. Thanks to the WiSA technology, the sound quality remains up to standard with a WiFi connection.

Review is 8,4 out of 10.

Great quality and easy to use but includes software

Sound quality
design
Connection options
Sometimes not responding

The sound quality is quite good. Especially in combination with the subwoofer. It is good in terms of convenience and design. Only the HDMI arc connection does not work in combination with our Samsung TV. And it hangs sometimes, doesn't respond to anything. Turning it on and off helps. And sometimes he doesn't see the optical connection.

Review is 9,6 out of 10.

Great sound from a bar

Sound is very good
Spotify Connect and Chromecast
HDMI-ARC
Orange LEDs on the front

I connected the Citation bar via HDMI-ARC and a wired network cable. I use it standalone, so without other devices connected.

I really like the sound of this soundbar. Netflix sounds like a movie and I also experience the virtual surround sound perfectly in a game. I'm not used to real surround (except in the bios) so I can't compare that well. It is also nice that it is always on, which of course costs extra energy, so you can always stream directly or ask Google a question. As soon as I switch on the TV the sound switches to the bar.

I don't like the orange LEDs on the front. These light up as soon as the microphone (from google) is muted. However, this is always the case if you play sound via HDMI-ARC (from TV or game console), so those LEDs will light up. Google Assistant does not work, but by pressing the button on the remote control, it can be called up again quickly.

The display on top of the bar is of course nice, but you can't see what you set when you operate it from the couch. I always have to get up to see which setting I'm changing.

In terms of connection, I still miss a USB port, but not very much.

Please solve my problem

Works well but have regular breaks in the sound as I watch TV, both via optical cable and HDMI cable, with music streaming I have no problems.
