    Great for our living

    This has been a great sound bar for our living room. Watched Maverick and it really sounded intense! Definitely recommend as it’s reasonably priced and sounds great! Easy to install and sound bar looks great on the mantle. The subwoofer tucked to the side near the fireplace.

    Great Sound Bar

    Great sound bar for my needs! It is very easy to set up. Sound quality is great. I was debating on another sound bar and was live messaging with a Best Buy team member and told them what I was looking for and wanted to make sure it was compatible with my tv and they suggested this one and it was $20 less than the one I was looking at. This is one of the many reasons why I shop at BestBuy!
