hello I'm the Westway 4c now we're here at CES 2013 taking a look at the Philips Fidelio HT on 9100 soundbar so this may look like an ordinary sound bar but it has a secret weapon these bits at the side disconnects forming two separate wireless speakers that you can position behind your sofa turning your ordinary sound bar set up into a wireless surround system as if that's not enough you also get this wireless subwoofer for some extra bass II punch Phillips tells me that this is connecting over a technology that's similar to bluetooth but not bluetooth so crucially if you are doing something else over Bluetooth like using a wireless keyboard you shouldn't get any interference which is good news so once you detach these speakers the sound bar will automatically change to surround sound mode so there's very little that you have to do they are battery-powered they're going to take four hours to reach full charge and once they've got as much juice as they can handle you'll get 10 hours out of them so battery life is a limiting factor but 10 hours is quite a long time to be watching TV I don't really think you're gonna need much more time than that the speaker itself pumps out 120 watts of noise and something else that's very cool is that if you move the speaker into a different orientation the drivers will slide mechanically on the inside so that you don't lose sound quality it's coming out in May it's gonna cost $800 under the Westway for CNET and this is the Philips Fidelio htl 9100 sound bar
