Now is the time to compare the actual sound tests and let’s see which is the best.

A small extraction sound is played at the same volume, the same mark is used for recording and the mark is placed at the same distance.Have you ever felt a difference in any sound? Well this was a neutral sound played wonderfully by both layers of sound. Let's see the real difference now.

First, let's play Sony. Now let's listen to Zebronic's. The first 20 seconds are very important. Within the first 30 seconds of Zebronics, have lost notes from Sony. Looks like real and mixed versions have been played. Sony did not play certain notes.

The reason is that when the volume increases, the average Sony notes are higher but not higher notes because the higher Sony buses are much higher. There are 2 types of bass in the lower notes - above and below. Low bass are used during real recordings and 90% of them are bass we listen to in songs. But its rating does not fit well with Sony.

Sony has higher bass quality which is why it produces a lot of bhumi sound. That’s why low notes don’t play. Zebronics does not have such problems. Its upper and lower bus section is fine which is why you can hear all the notes that were not heard by Sony. Now what is the result?

Before that let's do another test. We do not buy audio bar to attach it via Bluetooth instead we buy it to attach it to the TV & experience theater at home. Let's play an audio or video clip by attaching it to a TV. They both have an HDMI ARC port and I connect them to my eARC TV port using the same HDMI ARC cable. Even with 100% volume Sony was not as loud as it was when connected to Bluetooth. This is because Sony's HDMI ARC port does not specify Dolby Audio or Dolby Digital. Determines the visible hole. While the hole for Zebronics' HDMI ARC determines Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby Audio. That’s why Zebronics offers perfect sound.

Now it's time for me to decide. The Sony S20R is good with better built quality. It has all sorts of connection options. But only those people who like a lot of bass in all the songs and music should buy it.

Zebronics is a beautiful sound bar with good looks and sound. It has beautiful bass with a balanced sound. High notes are more important than high bass. The system with good high notes also shows good buses. According to me, Zebronics 9400, Pro is the winner.
