Still getting used to it.

Good budget soundbar - perfect gift!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this as a gift for one of my best friends - they love it! Definitely enhances their sounds, as they weren't able to hear dialogue on their TV while sitting at the dinner table before. Easy set up as they have a Samsung TV as well. Good soundbar for the price. 4 star review only because I have not heard what it sounds like myself yet.

Numbers on volume
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not like the fact there are no numbers in the volume bar & was going to take it back but was not provided with the customer service experience I expected by being a BB customer for so long.
