QsoniQ HTSS-550 review: It’s good on clarity but lacks the punch

This home theater system gives an amazing output without being too heavy and doesn't occupy a lot of space in your living room.

Design

Design

The QsoniQ HTSS-550 surround sound system is simple, elegant and compact with a minimalist design. It does justice to its dimensions and its size won't deceive you as it is really compact. It features a wooden enclosure that ensures to render a natural sound experience. Despite its sleek compact design, the surround sound system comes integrated with six speakers.

At the front, the compact surround sound system features three LED indicators and four manual control buttons to adjust the volume, control Bluetooth pairing, power on and off. At the rear of the system, there is a USB port, a power jack, on/ff switch and a 3.5mm AUX input.

There is a remote control as well that comes with controls for power on, input selection - Bluetooth and AUX, sound stages such as music, movies and news, volume control, mute and bass controls.

I liked the compact size of the HTSS-550 surround sound system as it did not occupy a lot of space on my TV table. Also, I liked the fact that it is clutter-free as it doesn't need a lot of wires.

Set up
 

Set up

It is quite simple to set the HTSS-550 surround sound system. I had to just plug the power adapter into the power outlet and the cord to the speaker system. Then, I had to connect the 3.5mm AUX input to the TV or mobile device. Alternatively, I could also pair my smartphone with the surround sound system using Bluetooth and listen to my favorite tracks.

Performance

Performance

The QsoniQ HTSS-550 renders a 3D holographic and surround sound output without congested wiring.
The company's proprietary iQS Intelligent Sound renders an immersive, detailed and natural sound output. The listening experience will be enhanced and transformed with the iQS technology. The highlight of this technology is that it is clean and pure and there is nothing that is added to give a great effect. It focuses on the individual details and enhances them. Even the sound stages such as Music, Movies and News will adjust the iQS technology to render the right output in each stage.

The sound output is pretty crisp and clear and there is a lot of clarity rendered by this compact surround sound system. However, being a person who prefers loud music, I didn't personally enjoy this one when it comes to loudness. Even with the maximum volume, I felt the compact home theater system could have been a little louder. But the level of loudness it delivers might be enough for many others who prefer not-too-loud music.

Though the details were clear and there was a good level of clarity, I experienced a little lack in terms of details and distortion in the output when the bass level is too high. Due to the lack of loud output, I feel this surround sound system misses out on the effects to some extent.

Verdict

Verdict

The QsoniQ HTSS-550 does justice being a compact surround sound system. It does not occupy a lot of space and doesn't clutter your living room with wires. Just plug it and you can enjoy the music. It renders a clear output that is suitable for those who seek a compact system for their TV that is good in terms of clarity. It renders an immersive experience as well. With an MRP of 19,995, this one does a good job but it might not render a very loud output.
