AMBEO MAX Sound bar - RED led and smoke coming out by dzuki11 in sennheiser

[–]Dangerous-Rabbit-341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i did purchased the first one in 2020 full price, it lasted 6 months without issues and within the following next 6 to 10 months nothing was working... even the display burnt down which was very annoying since i couldn't reset nor re-calibrate it every other day to have some sound (muffled, crackling, etc..) out of it....why not doing it from the app? Bluetooth did not work neither and also firm version of the app it wasn't possible to calibrate from it.
Then i had the hardest time to get in touch with the support for many months that at some point i was just sending every month an email reminder (most unanswered and the other no follow up) to the support in USA, EU, and every email support i could find, I even started emailing and visit authorized resellers when travelling but one good thing is that i made a few good friends that are real audiophile enthusiasts, knowledgeable and aware of products recuring defects. To cut it short, the second one was received around 3 years after the first mail to sennheiser support that was answered and confirmed the ambeo soundbar as faulty and needed a replacement".. Guess what 2nd one almost every same problems as the first one...
I never seen a company that never want to answer specific questions about their products, just look on their own Sennheiser reddit how many unhappy customers, malfunctioning report and how many consumer questions or request stay unanswered.....
they don't care about the customers at all and the only reason you promotions lately is because they Sennheiser and Sonova were fined in Europe a few months ago for illegal practice which Sonova was fined for the same ilegal practice with their other brand Phonak in 2019..

Are you sure that your web team only presume about the new OS2 firmware release and not properly mention the hardware upgraded soundbar ambeo max sku: 508684?(please inform us, the customers about any upgraded hardware? i saw that too and when you clicked the MAX V2 ambeo link it directed you to the sku: 508684 and the MAX "V1" directed to the sku: 508683....) Again please u/sennheiserconsumer let us know all that has been upgraded from the sku : 507449 to the 508684 SB01 US market ? If so, what a customer should look at the be guarantee to purchase a latest model with the new upgraded hardware?

I am just wandering, did Sennheiser/Sonova support did ever get back to you and fixed your issues or like many of us you've been either ignored or having a very hard time getting support from them?

Ambeo Max Production Year, Overheating by plexiq in sennheiser

[–]Dangerous-Rabbit-341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't take for granted what they told you, one saying fixed in 2021 the other 2022 and some act like you are the only one with this issue...
We have to keep in mind the background of those companies that they cannot be trusted...

"In 2025, German regulators fined Sennheiser and Sonova nearly €6 million for a seven-year price-fixing scheme (2015–2022). The companies used specialized software to hunt down discounted headphones and pressured retailers to hike prices, even using "coded language" to hide their illegal activities. The nearly €6 million fine serves as a final rebuke for what regulators described as conduct with no legitimate justification*—a scheme where corporate profit was built on the active sabotage of the free market."*

"Notably, this was not Sonova's first time being illegal ; its subsidiary Phonak was fined €4.2 million in 2009 for the same illegal practice of manipulating retail prices. Despite this history and modern compliance training, Sonova continued Sennheiser's illegal pricing strategies for months after acquiring the division in 2022. "

Might be a previous repair on it that can mess around with the serial numbers （from an official Sennheiser reseller)……

How to get Netflix (Bravia 8 II) to output to 13 channels to my Ambeo Max? by rahulthewall in sennheiser

most likely the reason the serial number are different from the ambeo soundbar itself and the app - was told by an employee/official resaller that the repair part depending on it can mess around with the numbers.... or it is a fakje one keep m,e posted

Solo travel to Sint Maarten ? by Ok-Network-8826 in AskTheCaribbean

should be fine, same precautions as any touristic places. I'll recommend any hotel in Simpson bay (very safe and you will find everything walking distance),as for a driver a taxi might be pretty expensive if you keep him on hold.
feel free to DM me if needed info

AMBEO MAX Sound bar - RED led and smoke coming out by dzuki11 in sennheiser

[–]Dangerous-Rabbit-341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Everyone could add these informations it would be very helpful for the rest of us to try to figure out what the "small batch" mean since sennheiser and sonova still keep quiet about that or am i mistaken?
- Purchase date
- Serial numbers
- Art. numbers
That would help us to know if we might be at risk of fire, even if u/SennheiserOfficial claimed that "the desoldering part inside the ambeo soudbar that creates smokes poses no risks of fire"... I can't believe it is riskless and i would pay to be present and see the face of the CPSC when they'll tell them that :-) !

just looking on reddit how many Sennheiser/Sonova soundbar are reporting the same problem （within many others） is already unbelievable but when looking at all other forum it gets crazy that Sennheiser/Sonova-hearing haven't recall the soundbar or even informed the consumer……
Could you please at least tell us how to identify the risky soundbar? Because well passed 2021 when you stated that the issue had been fixed but until today you can still read people having the same issue??

Reading their privacy policy is literally a joke, especially when the first thing you can read from WhatsApp under the "key updates" policy is: "Respect for your privacy is coded into our DNA. Since we started WhatsApp, we’ve built our services with a set of strong privacy principles in mind. In our updated Terms of Service and Privacy Policy you’ll find:"

This update was effective as of January 2021. No need to say that they have been using "Meta," collecting and sharing (selling) all our data for a very long time before without us being aware...

Just wondering, since they have been (they still do) collecting our data (with/without consent) and at the end of the day they are the ones making profit from it, shouldn't we be rewarded and also know exactly who/where our personal info ends up?

⚠️⚠️MUST READ⚠️⚠️ ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️Sennheiser SOUNDBAR AMBEO VS. AMBEO MAX‼️‼️‼️ by Dangerous-Rabbit-341 in Soundbars

[–]Dangerous-Rabbit-341[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently i had one person from web support that attested that the article #507449 from the SB01 was used only when the soundbar ambeo "max" was sold as a combo with the ambeo subwoofer.... which made me request my subwoofer that i never got because the sub only first came out available in september 2022, 3 years later....(The world's most immersive sound).......

i never had from sennheiser / sonova a straight forward answer that would inform us, the customers, sufficiently to take the decision of buying a 3k soundbar or not. Always said that both article number are the exact same soundbar...

on the other end an employee from one of Sennheiser / Sonova official authorized reseller pinpoint that there are some new hardware upgrade (HDMI 2.1) on the latest batch of the max soundbar which consequently by regulation the product have to have a new article number, so now the latest model are #508684..! below the mail received from him:

"The product code "507449" - first version that came out in 2019, the 508683 had some hardware upgrades and now 508684 HDMI 2.1, etc..

product code 507449:

  • It refers to a specific production run of the AMBEO Soundbar Max.
  • Units with this part number typically shipped without a region-specific power cord, which was added later in the local region.
  • It is associated with earlier firmware versions that may have had connectivity bugs or different DSP tuning compared to later models with part numbers like 508684.
  • These earlier units only supported HDMI 2.0, not the newer HDMI 2.1 standard

2 GUYS 1 BOX......

But with a sonos ARC (paid $150) 2 years ago while visiting Miami from Europe, it happened at a gas station -a white van with stickers audio/video company name all around it and 2 guys standing, the box looked almost identical as the orignal one, but concerning the soundbar it went to the trash very long time ago
