At WhatIfGaming, we don’t often come across products that truly capture our interest. However, the Majority Sierra soundbar stands out. Not only does it claim to be an exceptional Bluetooth soundbar, but its manufacturer, Majority, also strives to become the world’s first carbon-neutral audio brand. So, does the Sierra live up to these high expectations?

Design
The Majority Sierra is not just a soundbar; it’s a stylish addition to any living room. Made from a combination of plastic, PVC, and wood, it offers a quality look without breaking the bank. The front mesh enhances its appearance, and the subtle branding keeps it looking sleek.
We didn’t drop-test the Sierra, but it feels robust enough to withstand minor accidents. Its dark black color helps it blend seamlessly with most environments, ensuring it isn’t a distraction when you’re focused on your TV. The bright LEDs are visible from afar without being overwhelming.
For TVs larger than 40-45 inches, the Sierra is aptly sized, and the wooden elements provide a premium feel.
Remote Control
The remote is where the Sierra falls short. The build quality and materials used don’t scream premium, and there’s a lot of wasted space. We think there could have been more functional buttons, and the printing on the buttons looks subpar—it might even fade over time.
That said, the remote covers the basics: bass and treble adjustments, four presets, volume control, mute, and input selection. It’s functional if you don’t mind a few compromises.
Sound Quality
For any soundbar to stand out, it must excel in audio quality, and the Sierra largely delivers. With 280 Watts and Dolby Atmos, it provides a rich Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound experience.
Admittedly, comparing a single soundbar to a full home theater setup isn’t entirely fair, but the Sierra does a commendable job of recreating surround sound for its price and form factor.
Gaming Performance
If you’re wondering how the Sierra fares for gaming, it won’t outperform a high-quality pair of headphones in terms of pinpointing sounds. However, for a full-bodied, cinematic gaming experience, the Sierra impresses. We tested it with games like God of War and Forza, and it delivered satisfying audio, even without a subwoofer. It handles low-end sounds well and avoids distortion at high volumes.
Audio Performance / Movies
The Sierra truly shines when it comes to movies, making the most of its Dolby Atmos capability. Watching films with this soundbar offers an enriching surround sound experience, elevating your home cinema setup.
In summary, the Majority Sierra soundbar boasts excellent sound quality, stylish design, and a good range of features. While its remote could use improvements, the overall package is impressive.
