Cloudwalker Burst E3000 soundbar review: Plenty of room for improvement

A few months ago we reviewed Cloudwalker's Smart Screen (review) and felt it was incomplete without a good soundbar. Later, the Mumbai-based tech startup came up with its new soundbar, the Burst E3000, with a 100 watt output, for Rs 7,999.

We got hold of a unit and reviewd it. Here's what we found:

Design and connectivity

The Burst E3000 has a glossy finish on top and sides, with its branding on the front grille. It comes with a subwoofer unit that makes it a complete package. The soundbar is neither sleek nor bulky. There are two ports at the rear to mount it on a wall. On closer look, the plastic material used here makes it look less sturdy. But that is not too bad, given its price.

There are physical buttons at the top for play/pause, standby/source, while the connectivity ports are placed at the back. What's interesting is the LED light strip beneath the bar that offers 11 light effects which can be managed using a tiny remote controller. The LED light gives a good effect overall if you dim the lights of your room while watching movies or a web series.

For connectivity, the Burst E3000 features Bluetooth 5.0 and it's really quick to connect with a smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled devices. The Soundbar offers multiple connectivity options like AUX, Line IN and Optical port to connect it with other compatible devices.
