    The sandbar works OK, but the subwoofer went out in about five years and cannot be repaired.

    Bought this today as open box item. The label did not say what was wrong with it, got home and it’s missing the remote. Try to set it up with the HDMI ARC anyway…didn’t work. Apparently you have to have the remote to set it up.

    I bought this 1.5 years ago. Sound is fine. Use is inconvenient. It glitches all the time, leaving us with no audio. So we’re constantly unplugging it to get it to reset. I would not recommend this brand.

    Best Buy provides an excellent array of speakers. The Bose TV Speaker provides excellent sound and very good dialog clarity.

    Waste of money. This sound bar stopped working in less than a year. The remote will not turn the unit on. Purchased a second remote and still having the same issue.

    I feel sad to give such a review. I could barely get it to connect and stay connected!! Didn't matter if I used the optical cable provided or supplied my own for the HDMI-Arc. The bluetooth option would not connect for 10-15 mins. I tried connecting, went into the other room, sat back on the couch, and 5 mins later....sound! I am connecting to a QN90A Neo QLED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV. Let just say....I am done with soundbars!! Gonna go for the full thing next time!! Less disappointment.

    After 2 years of light use (less than 5 hours on week / average) its completely dead. No way to turn the unit on and somehow it only comes with a 1 year warranty. No power surge or incident other than poor craftsmanship. Absolute joke of a product. Could not recommend avoiding more

    Either it was not compatible with our TV or the optic cable had suffered a fiasco. The sound would cutout and that was a real disappointment on my space shows. It was returned and another bar was bought.
