    bass

    Good bass, and bar connection to watch movies and listen to music effect is very good, but the software is a little difficult to use, but finally overcome

    Awful

    Awful app and doesn’t stay connected. No service to speak of if it is working the sound quality is pretty good. But most of the time it’s a heavy paper weight

    Barrell Keg Subwoofer Delivers the Goods

    Super cool looking subwoofer that packs a punch. Must be combined with the W&B soundbar though. And managing the config of the soundbar and the woofer is done thru the B&W app. However, that part is straight forward. Only negative is the price of B&W products. I bought both the soundbar and woofer as returned, open box items to save hundreds of dollars. Very competitive products at a discount but not at full price.

    Incredible sound - paired with wedge

    I initially bought just the wedge, then felt the need for sub. This does not disappoint, makes my def tech system sound ordinary . I have it in my living room , quite large with high ceilings and this fills that space perfectly. I tried to move the sub once unplugging power and relocating, it stopped working. I have to factory reset both wedge and bass to get it working. It's as simple as two clicks to do that and it works flawlessly again. I can see how it could be frstrating if u did not know how to fix it.

  • What is the RCA connector on the back of the formation bass for? Has no label for it on the device and nothing mentioned anywhere online. Hoping it's a digital out so I can connect a better 3rd party sub because this one is too small for our family room

    That connection is non-functional.
