Customers highly value the Basic Audio Setup for its sound quality, ease of use, and efficient installation. Many appreciate the technician's knowledge, connectivity options, and overall professionalism. However, some customers have reported issues with the soundbar's longevity and compatibility, as well as concerns about the remote control.

    Installation marked "complete" but never completed

    I ordered a TV installation with basic audio setup. The guys came to my apartment, did an ok job installing the TV (the power wire is hanging off the wall rather than behind the wall), and then never installed the sound bar. They said it wan't on their work order. Logged into my BestBuy online account and saw that they marked the service complete.

    Regarding the "Add-On Soundbar Setup" Wasn't installed by Geek Squad, this was an independent installer contracted by Best Buy. I watched him change the TV's sound output setting from "HDMI" to "Internal Speaker". Nuf said.

    The system cost over $7000 and still does not work properly. The installers were nice and polite . It is a slow and complicated task to get help over the phone or to reach the right person. Even when I did reach help desk on the phone their advice was wrong and didn't work in the long

    The same installer returned for the second time. I had complained that my TV was damaged on the side and that my dresser was scratched after the first install. The installer denied doing the damage. He said we would not work in my house and left. The install is still not completed. "Great Service" Best Buy

    Tech came out. Explaining it was a 2-tech job. He said to leave it in his hands. He would come back with a date to complete the installation correctly. Tech NEVER came back or rescheduled to complete the installation...Geek Squad the worst service ever Tech name was Jason

    The two persons you sent, were unable to set up my surround sound system, all they did was google the problem but did not have the knowledge on how to set system up. A system that I purchased from Best Buy. There service was a waste of my money. My rating for the service was a zero.

    Very upset that I invested in geek squad to install this product. They left and took all the manuals and instructions with them, leaving me nothing to refer to. I even tipped them no realizing what they did. Furthermore, the Best buy store responds that I have to go online and download everything .

    Disaster. Sound bar could not be loaded on or controlled even after I was assured I could use my laptop for this function. Waste of company and my time. Soundbars were returned. Sales people did not know or care about the customer.

    Did the installation but they neglected to show me how to turn second speakers on and off which was one of the issues I hired them for. Called the store and was out on hold 40 minutes. Drove to the store and they gave me the installers phone number. He said he would come by Saturday. He never showed up. Called and texted him multiple times but he never replied. May have to sue Best Buy

      Thank you for taking time out of your day to share your thoughts with us. It's always frustrating when an appointment is not up to standards and having your Agent miss visiting your home at the scheduled time is not a good way to start a business relationship. I do apologize for the disappointment as this is not the kind of service we aim to provide our customers. We have Agents standing by to help. We hope that you will give us a chance to make it right and reach out to us at (800) GEEK-SQUAD or (800) 433-5778.

    My disappointment was not so much with the installers. The installers actually did a bang up job. My grief was with the processing of the installation request. My original appointment was canceled without my knowledge. I Had to reschedule my installation date multiple times. Rearranging my schedule to accommodate the installation was a very challenging. Horrible experience.

      Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We know your time is valuable, so I can understand how three separate appointments to have your audio set up would be less than ideal. Our goal is to for our techs to handle it so you don't have to, so I can imagine how you felt when you had to rearrange your schedule a second and third time to get this fully set up. We appreciate how patient you were with these appointments, and hope you can give us another chance to get everything installed on the first try with any future projects.
