    The agents disconnected my Vizio sound bar and connected my new Bose 900 sound bar, however, they did not know how to set up my TV with the new sound bar. Ultimately I had to go through the setup to make the sound bar work. These guys need more training.

    The sound bar to this date still varies in sound clarity. With or with out my wife’s hearing aids or mine. Sound at the bar goes in and out of voice clarity my wife is very disappointed in it’s performance to the description. She calls it a grossly made statement misunderstanding of the advertising to the quality of voice clarity and i to feel the same. With that being said we wish to return the item and look else were please. The sound bar is what we hope it to be but NOT. Thank you for allowing us the explain our disappointment and most of all the Qeek Sguad for there efforts to make thins work during the 5 to 6 trips made. Vic and Pat Kulikowski

    3rd party service, not Geek Squad. Said sound bar did not work. I took the equipment to store and it worked fine. Geek Squad is coming to reinstall. No more 3rd party contractors, please!

      We appreciate you taking the time out of your day to offer feedback about your Audio Setup experience. In some cases, Geek Squad does use trusted third-party service providers; if the team who came out to your home initially did not deliver the expert service we expect, we are very sorry for any inconvenience. It sounds like this situation should be resolved by one of our Agents when they next visit your home, which is great to hear. I hope that sometime in the future you give us another opportunity to provide a better experience from the very beginning.

    Never let Best Buy send a contractor to do the set up. Insist upon a Geek Squad member.

    Again, I was oversold on this item. I didn’t need a big speaker told him I was in a condo that was small. I ended up returning it. Not geek squad’s fault they didn’t install it. They were great.

    Geek Squad installed the Sound Bar improperly. I bought 2 sound bars, one for my home and one for my father-in-law. my father-in-law's sound bar only needs to hit once. our sound bar need to be punched 6 times to make the sound bar come on with the TV. I asked the Mgr yesterday if the Geek Squad had someone in my area fix the issue. he said all i need to do was to un-bluetooth the remote from the sound bar and reinstall. I said that is the reason why I paid Geek Squad to install it right and he told me that was all he could do but gave me a copy of the receipt and said I could call corporate.

    As an educated person in electronics for many years,I was was insulted as they treated me like a dumb blonde assuming they were superior. When they couldn't answer my simple setup questions and I explained the existing setup I decided to cancel their service for more experienced and customer friendly people
