Polk Audio - 2.1-Channel Soundbar System with Wireless Subwoofer - Black

Context: Have a Sonos Play1, Bose Mini Soundlink II, Klipsch Promedia 2.1 PC speaker set, ZVOX 450 for the bedroom TV - familiar with sound from different manufacturers. Pros: - Price point, purchased this as open box for ~40% off, making it the cheapest upgraded speakers so far. - included wireless subwoofer enables placement anywhere - excellent for the living room space approx 12' x 12' - mids and highs are good from the soundbar - Polk sounded a lot better than JBL and LG soundbars on display - bass is just enough. Not overbearing like Klipsch or Bose Cons: - Bluetooth connection is spotty after hours of play; best if device is within range and no wall interference - system takes a while to turn on - no volume or input type display on unit - Remote could use more sensitivity, range, and weight Conclusion: Great soundbar for the average person who isn't looking for ground-shaking bass and simply looking for an upgrade from the tinny TV speakers on most hdtv's today. Most other speakers sounded a bit too focused on the mids and highs. The only other comparable one I found was the JBL Cinema SB450, which is much more expensive. Audiophiles or those who enjoy Sonos or other premium components will find that these soundbar is lacking in clarity on the mids and overall balanced sound. When compared to Vizio or the LG/Samsung soundbars that Best Buy carries, this blows them out of the water.

This thing is awesome! The base is great and the soundbar sounds fantastic. I listened to the Sony & Samsung & LG soundbars in the store and this Polk outshined them all. Bluetooth connection is soo simple. Seriously.....buy this one.

Love this sound bar but I wish it gave you the option to keep it on. It times out and turns off after 5 minutes of no use.

We stood in Best Buy listening to about 10 different sound bars trying to find the one we liked best. Most were out of our budget so they were quickly eliminated. We got down to 3 choices and always reverted back to the Polk. We walked away, went back the next day and listened to the 3 again, the deal was sealed, Polk for the win. We couldn't be happier with our choice. It has the best sound and for a great price!

This sound bar has great sound and feels like you are at the theater. The only thing I don't like about it is the volume on the remote control. Hard to press and get it to where you want, often end up too loud and having to lower. Not a big deal, but when others are sleeping it can wake them if you aren't careful.

The only thing that I wish it had would be to turn the bass down even lower, or off. Overall though, sounds great!

After always having family over and never being able to enjoy sports game or movies because of the low quality of speakers I decided to go and invest in a sound bar. By far one of the best decisions I have had. Not only is the quality of the speakers amazing but being able to connect to different things with a click of a button has made this investment well worth it.

I was skeptical because this soundbar was more than the one I originally wanted, but with a toddler, I didn't want exposed speakers. The sound is great, my toddler drives his hot wheels all over it and doesn't do any damage, and it's easy to use! The only downside is sometimes the remote doesn't register and you have to click a few times for the volume to change.
