Damson  Reviews 

Very glad .It is a fabalous system !!

Absolutely incredible sound and quality for a Dolby Atmos system of this size. Damson's Customer Service is one of the best I have ever experienced. If you are looking for a Dolby Atmos system for a small to mid sized room you can't and won't find any better. I whole heartily recommend it.

Purchased the S Series version 2 and was very disappointed with the sound quality. The surround effect is awful as there's a crossover in each speaker, well above any tolerances I've ever witnessed on other sound systems.

The sub woofer is awful and just seems to make voices boom rather than supplement the bass.

The company immediately removed me from their Facebook discussion group after I requested a refund, through fear that I would disclose all the faults I found in one day.

It's also worth noting that the arc connection with many tvs is inconsistent when it comes to atmos playback. It will work sometimes and others it will not recognise the Soundbar as capible of atmos.

The Atmos effect is awful too as the height channels are so weak and the bar is so small that the width of the front sound is so narrow.

The S cubes can disconnect sometimes and if you choose to use them as Bluetooth speakers it is not straightforward to reconnect them. They seem to decide if they want to reconnect to the bar or not.

The remote is the worst I've ever used too, with cheap clicky buttons that reminds me of an old speaker I brought from poundland once.

EDIT:
After I posted this review there was a reply from the retailer and there's no other way to respond to the points made, so I'll reply here.

The retailer claims to have helped me with an exclusive discount. This is not true as they offer all customers 10% discount if they don't check out their basket. All they did for me was extend the 10% for a given basket as I was so unsure about the purchase due to the lack of formal reviews for the S Series (least of all for the version 2).

The retailer claims they helped arranged a collection of my Soundbar to suit my daughter's illness. This is not true at all as I paid and arranged the collection of my Soundbar (when returning it). I mentioned the situation to the online support when I requested the return authorisation, that's where they have got that information from.

The fact that my daughter was ill and at home all day allowed me to test the Soundbar extensively for 24 hours and try all my cables and potential configurations. For this reason, I dispute the claim that poor performance is due to my setup.
In fact, the exact same setup (cables and all) was working perfectly well with a Samsung N950 and an LG SL10Y less than a month before my dealing with Damson.
I now have a fully working (and very impressive) LG soundbar that is using the exact same setup that the Damson performed so poorly under.

I have a lot of experience with good soundbars (I've always studied reviews and forum opinions) and know what a good one should sound like in my environment. The Damson underperformed every soundbar I've ever tested in my house. This includes a cheaper Sony Z9f.

The CEO of Damson did talk to me on a Web chat and answered a lot of my questions, leading me to try a lot of different things the next day. None of the accommodations that I made did anything to improve the performance. The fact that the 5.1 channels have so much crossover means that you can't even get a level reading from an SPL meter.

I'm not a difficult customer and to add a little more detail to this, my wife, daughter and parents all found fault with the sound. The most common criticism (baring in mind that they don't use any AV jargon) was the narrow and weak front performance.

A failure on many levels.

We took the plunge on the SSeries Version 2 to replace our old existing entertainment system, and it was the best decision ever! No trailing wires is a huge, huge bonus as no need to have anyone install it for us. The system sounds incredible and is so easy to use. Watched “IT”, and absolutely terrified myself! Wouldn’t recommend watching that with the lights off unless you want to jump out of your skin. Had a few questions for the Damson guys before buying and they were really helpful, and as a bonus are from Yorkshire like me! Can’t recommend the company and the SSeries enough.

Excellent British company making quality audio products. It's easy to go for the big brands but in always happy to support a UK business. I purchased the S Series and it's a great bit of kit with Dolby Atmos and wireless rear speakers which can be used as standalone Bluetooth speakers too. The customer support is great too, fast, helpful and friendly. I like how this company operate they are happy to take on board what their customers say to improve their future products, you wouldn't necessarily get this with a big brand. Give them a try.

I recently bought some 'headspace' headphones and they are really good, the noise cancelling feature was a god send during my recent flight to Belfast,the build quality is good and they are really comfortable.

Simple to hook up and it works perfectly as long as you follow the directions, it comes with. The sound is incredible. I have had Samsung's, Sony's, etc. I was very sceptical on this with it being wireless and the sound quality from a company I never heard of before! The sound is unreal, Dolby Atmos really shines through and when you don't have a Atmos signal it directs it to 5.1 Dolby! The items are really built well, I mean there is a lot of weight to them, doesn't feel flimsy at all. I like the strong metal grills they put on all the items. From what you get and what it does and the price and it being the only wireless Dolby Atmos on the market, its incredible! The remote is flimsy and does not feel as strong as the other parts, but works perfectly and to be honest, if you don't throw it around, it should last! After 2 days, I started losing the signal through arc on my 55C8 OLED. I tried everything I could think of. When sources were directly plugged into the S-Woofer, it worked find. When set to ARC, it wouldn't work. Finally, I contacted them and talked to their head guy Mark Hudson and I explained it to him and he was in the UK!! After about 90 minutes which included dropped calls, all were my fault, he kept calling me back. He finally fixed the issue. My tv must have HDMI-CEC enabled from the get go. It was awesome they kept calling me back to fix the issue at that moment. Name another tech company that does that! All in All, great product, incredible support. I bought another set for my Daughter as well.

The main review of the S series is below and is almost a year old (left on amazon). The main reason for writing this is the great customer service received from Mark and Damson.

A few weeks ago, I read that there was an update for the V1 S Series so I contacted the damson support team. A few hours later I had a reply telling me that there was indeed an update and it had to be applied by a special tool connected to the hardware. A few days later, I had the tool posted to me and all was updated and sounds better than ever (not that it sounded bad to start with). Great service and communication throughout. Good to see a British company with their own product that takes the time to speak to their customers. Keep up the good work.

S Series review......

Swithered about buying this for a while on the hope that some of the major the sites would do a good in depth review. They didn't so I took the plunge. My biggest worry was the size of the speakers and the quality of the sound that they would produce. I need not have worried as these speakers pack a punch and are far louder and clearer that the higher wattage soundbar this system is replacing.

Set up was a breeze and connected within ten minutes using the amp to pass through sky Q and the Xbox and ARC for Netflix from the smart TV. A few tests with Atmos titles from Sky Q and the sound seems to be coming from all around. The Atmos speaker gives a feeling of height from the sound rather than it necessarily coming from above you, but this is probably a limitation of most (if not all) upward firing speakers and is certainly a better option for most rather than having speakers installed in the ceiling.

My main reason for wanting to try this system were the portable and battery powered rear speakers. My room set up doesn't really allow for permanently positioned floor standing rears if I want to be able to use the door! These let me put the speakers out, watch a movie and put them away again within seconds and is a real bonus for me. The rear speakers (the S Cubes) can also be used as stand alone speakers for music via Bluetooth. I'm no audiophile, but these sound good enough for my needs and can be used solo or combined for stereo.

All in all, a good buy and happy with my purchase.

I bought the S-Series speaker system series 1 for £499. I'm no audiophile but as system for TV and for listening to music via Bluetooth I'm pleased with the sound. I like the fact that I can take the satellite speakers out into the garden.
I reached out to the Damson team for support with some questions I had around connecting my laptop to the system and the customer service was some of the best I've ever had from any company. Quick and meaningful responses from the Damson team made me feel that I'd made the right decision. I would definitely recommend buying from this company and I'm looking forward to my next purchase.

Damson A British Company To Be Proud of ... Numerous Ways To Contact , live chat , Phone , email , etc etc always quick to Answer Any Question’s or Query’s you may have ... and being the makers of the products they sell ... their product Knowledge is Second to none ... Now About their S Series Cubes & Cinema Bundle I was Very Sceptical about the Atmos Cinema sound not being AWESOME Due To the Diminutive Size of the Whole Package HOWEVER I need not have worried as the Sound was indeed AWESOME both in Wired & wireless (upto) 8 Hrs from a Single Charge Mode & you Can link upto 16 Yes SIXTEEN S Cubes individually To Make The Ultimate Portable music or Cinema Dolby Atmos System*** (Subject To Cinema Atmos bar***)

First of all, the price was very competitive Vs. alternative solutions in the market.Having wireless and Atmos in a system was required and the price made me bite.

Delivery time was very quick and well packed.

Setup took and hour or so to get things as required and completely understood but once all in place, Wow, really great sound and better than expected.

Would recommend.

The speaker sounds amazing, it's loud with great clarity. My Basketball team and I use it when we're practicing and it fills the hall with music. Deliver was also incredibly quick - 5*

Read many reviews on this product and have been looking to reduce wiring in the house for speakers. Reviews were really good so it was a no brainier to give the S-Series a go. Setup is really simple, and the sound experience is fantastic. Ready to get some extra speakers for around the house and to take outside.

If you want to go minimal space wise, wireless speakers and great sound this is the product to go for.

Bought direct via PayPal delivered by Amazon, so bloody quick delivery too, and simple payment process. What more can you ask for

Super smashing great

Very bad experience ordered damson s series faulty after an hour then they told to sent it back and sent me another one which was in fully used condition and then they said we will give u new one which when arrived was faulty too and for refund i had to pay return charge for fauly unit stay away from this.If u wanna buy dolby atmos go for something with onkyo or focal sib bit expensive but worth the money.

Very comfortable headphones, and quality build. Noise cancelling is very good.

I have wanted a surround system with wireless speakers for years, looked for ages then I came across the Damson s-series, wireless speakers with Dolby Atmos, sound bar and woofer. My eyes lit up, went on Damson web site and was impressed with what I was seeing. I visited the website several times over the next couple of weeks. I was tempted but hadn't seen or heard of Damson in the big electrical stores. I emailed Damson and got a response from Mark Hudson. I could tell Mark is very passionate about the equipment they sell and he certainly knows his stuff, ever so helpful before and after sale. So I took the plunge and purchased the s-series. It arrived a couple of days later recorded delivery. Unboxing the product you can tell this was a quality bit of kit. Settings up was a doddle and took no more than 5 minutes, almost plug and play. My set up is Xbox and 4k Blu-ray player through the s-series, skyQ via arc. I had a couple of technical issues with the Xbox but Mark advised me on the settings and all was now running smoothly. My lounge is 18' X 12' and have put the system to test. WOW this is fantastic, whether you are watching with Dolby Atmos or 5.1 it truly sounds awesome. When using arc I have no complaints. The connection between the woofer and the cube speakers is sound, not once has the Bluetooth connectivity dropped. You can also use the cubes as portable speakers. Since I bought the system a firmware update had come out to improve the bass, Damson sent me the update tool and a video of how to update, this was a breeze to do and the results were stunning, just watched venom and it was like being in your own cinema. I love this system and would highly recommend it to anyone and will be purchasing other products from Damson. This is everything I've wanted from a home cinema system. Well done Damson great job all round.

Excellent 'chat' on customer service helpline, answered questions and gave more info than asked for, so I'm very pleased with experience. Also my questions were, as a first time user of these sort of headphones, were very basic and simple but I was spoken to with all respect and not made to feel like a dummy. Thanks again L.
