    Great soundbar! Most have too much bass and you can't hear the people actually talking, this one is a good combo of both.

    I use the soundbar with my Samsung TV and to occasionally listen to music. I love the sound quality in general but I am specifically satisfied with the feature that lets you make movie dialogs more distinct and easier to listen to. Overall I am very satisfied.

    Good sound, was a good value for what we paid. Will sometimes not power up so I have to unplug the power cord and plug it back in. If I had it to do over again I would’ve spent more to get the Bose.

    Made a terrific difference watching TV because the sound is so much more enhanced. Adds a whole new experience, especially watching movies. Easy to hook up to the TV and I would recommend it to anyone that wants a stereo affect added to their television viewing.

    Pretty disappointed in this soundbar. Volume is very low and not much base. I've been a big fan of Denon until I got this. My Hisense soundbar that was half the price sounds way better then this.

    Speaker sounds amazing compared to tv speakers on Samsungs qn90 tv. If you r joy loud movies I suggest making this purchase. I have tried the tv speakers here and there to see the sound difference and it is very noticeable.

    I have a simple setup, Apple tv to soundbar to LG tv. The sound is good but, it will just randomly cut out in the middle of a show. Doesnt matter what app it is. A simple restart fixes the issue but it's a soundbar, not a windows computer, I shouldnt have to restart it. Probably going to return it.
