Philips Fidelio E6 Review: Flawless playback quality

The Philips Fidelio E6 speaker system is represented by two 40 cm high front speakers, which in the usual configuration reproduce sound in stereo. The overhead sections can be detached and placed separately from the main speakers for surround sound.
The Philips Fidelio E6 is the first Surround Sound on Demand device to feature 3-inch angled 3-inch cones for center channel speakers. They direct sound directly to the center of the sound space for clear and 5.1 sound. This cinematic effect is enhanced by a wireless subwoofer for deep bass. In addition, the Fidelio E6 has HDMI and HDMI 4K connectors for high-definition content transfer.

Philips Fidelio E6 also lets you listen to music using up to three Bluetooth-connected devices at the same time. In addition, the pre-installed Google Cast and Spotify Connect apps let you play music directly from the cloud using mobile devices for control only. The detachable speakers run on built-in rechargeable batteries for up to 5 hours, so they can be used anywhere. If the battery runs out, they need to be reinstalled on the main audio system and they will start charging.
The included remote control lets you control your music anywhere in your home. The top panels of the removable speakers and wireless subwoofer have a wood finish that is combined with premium fabric upholstery for the speaker to enhance sound quality. Detachable speakers feature metal grilles and leather carry handles.
Experience the surround sound effect. Simply remove the wireless speakers from the main system cabinet, place them behind you, and enjoy multi-channel surround sound while watching movies or playing games. And when you want to listen to music or watch TV, just reinstall the speaker. With unique wireless audio technology and native frequency surround speakers, no network interference occurs. The result is a complete wireless surround sound system for superb music and movies.

Enjoy flawless playback of quality audio from your favorite music apps. This soundbar is equipped with built-in Google Cast technology, which allows you to play music from your favorite applications on various devices using the speakers. You can transfer from your iPhone®, iPad®, Android phone or tablet, Mac® laptop, Windows® or Chromebook.
Use the HCWeSet Manager app to set up and connect your new speakers to your home wireless network and enjoy flawless, high-quality audio playback from your favorite apps *. * Before streaming music from apps wirelessly, you need to install the dedicated network setup app and agree to the terms of service and privacy. * A Spotify Premium account is required to stream music from Spotify using Connect.

Spotify Connect gives you the convenience of selecting and playing music anywhere in your home with a smart device that acts as a remote control. With Spotify’s direct connection, music can be played directly from the cloud while still using your smart device to make calls, watch videos, or even move it out of range without interrupting playback. You also save battery power as this music playback requires less power. All Spotify features are unlimited, from playlists to high sample rates, everything you need to enjoy new music in superior quality.
HDMI 4K2K supports HDMI 1.4, which provides support for Ultra High Definition (UHD) video content. Currently, 4K has a maximum resolution of 4096 pixels wide by 2160 pixels high – four times the resolution of a standard 1080p HD display. Also, the 4K format can have a lower resolution – 3840 x 2160 pixels. Both formats are supported by the HDMI 1.4 standard. With 4K displays, today’s home theater systems are on par with those found in commercial cinemas. 4K TV technology continues to evolve, so we have integrated support for this standard to meet future speaker requirements.
The built-in Dolby Digital decoder eliminates the need for an external decoder by processing all six audio channels to create a surround sound effect and a strikingly natural and dynamically realistic sound ambience. Dolby Pro Logic II decoder provides five channels of surround sound processing from any stereo source.

With Philips Crystal Clear Sound technology, you can now hear and appreciate every note in its original quality! Crystal Clear Sound technology reproduces the sound source – be it action, musical or live performance – faithfully, clearly and without distortion. Philips home theater systems with Crystal Clear Sound minimize audio processing while keeping the original content clear. As a result, you hear more accurate sound.
NFC (Near Field Communications) technology allows you to connect devices via Bluetooth with one touch. Bring your NFC-enabled smartphone or tablet near the speaker and touch the NFC field to turn on the system. Establish a Bluetooth connection and start streaming music.
Philips Fidelio E6 has six built-in amplifiers for excellent 5.1-channel sound. 5.1-channel systems are equipped with a center channel, front left and right channels, two surround channels, and a subwoofer. The system supports Dolby digital pro-logic 2.
Each of the Philips Fidelio E6 detachable speakers is equipped with a Bluetooth module so you can use them separately. This ensures maximum listening freedom – you can place the speaker in any room and even take it with you on the road. Every portable speaker guarantees powerful music wherever you install your devices. You can use a single Bluetooth speaker or combine Bluetooth speakers for stereo sound.
