Review Summary
Boom3D 5.1 Surround for Netflix is praised for enhancing Netflix audio with true 5.1 surround sound, providing a rich and immersive experience, especially when paired with the Boom 3D app. Users appreciate its ability to improve headphone and home theater listening. However, multiple recent user reports indicate the extension now causes Netflix playback errors and streaming blocks, with Netflix flagging it as a disallowed plugin, and partial channel output issues. Users are eager for updates to fix these critical compatibility problems that have rendered the extension unusable for many.
