INTRODUCTION

   Regardless of one’s budget building your very own home theater was never an easy task and that holds even truer today. For example, 15 years ago when the very first LCD TVs were making their appearance the main issue for most of us was what kind of audio/video amplifier to get and with what speakers to pair it with. Fast forward to today and even though TV selection has changed massively for the majority of consumers the appearance of soundbars a few years back solved that issue but only for a while since nowadays one can find models from a wide range of manufacturers and in virtually all price ranges. Low to mid-end models however are the ones that sell the most and today with me i have one of the most popular ones in the UK today, the Everest 5.1 Wireless Dolby Surround Sound System by Majority.

   Founded by two friends from Cambridge in 2012, Majority has gone on to become an Amazon best-selling brand with a device in over three million homes across the globe. From the very beginning, founders, Eddie Latham, and PJ Scott’s focus has been to use ground-breaking technology to deliver quality consumer electronics at an affordable price. “Our goal has always been inclusivity” Latham and Scott use their years of know-how to continue to build a brand that designs products for a variety of budgets.

   The Everest 5.1 surround system by Majority features Dolby Audio compatibility and consists by a long soundbar, two compact detachable wireless surround satellite speakers (rechargeable, 3600mAh rechargeable pack - up to 4 hours of playback at maximum volume) and a standalone wireless subwoofer (UHF connectivity between the soundbar and all 3 wireless speakers). In regards to drivers used inside the soundbar Majority has squeezed a total of six 52mm/2.25" drivers (2 full-range and 4 mid-range ones) with a total power output of 180W and as for the detachable wireless surround satellites each of them comes with a single 52mm/2.25" full range driver and an output of 20W (40W total for both). The wireless subwoofer on the other hand sports a larger 130mm/5.25" driver with a power output of 40W (thus adding to a combined output of 300W). As for available connectivity the Everest 5.1 surround system by Majority features Bluetooth v5.0, HDMI ARC, stereo RCA AUX input, USB port (MP3 playback supported), S/PDIF and a 3.5mm line in. Yes, the Everest 5.1 doesn't support Dolby Atmos like its Sierra sibling but in many ways, it does sound like a more complete solution so let's check it out.
