Pros & Cons
Pros
Supports tidal thru an app which is good as there's little point using bluetooth if you are paying for a hifi quality service. Just turn surround off to normal and voice back to normal. The dts-play fi also works extremely well.
Cons
Surround sound ability with additional philips speaker just do not work, drops connection. Very poor philips product.
