    Took me almost all day to get it to work. The set up directions were the worst I’ve ever seen. The writing is so small I couldn’t even read it with my flasses. The directions don’t make sense. I had to go online and find other resources to get it to work. The sound is not that great. I’m afraid to make adjustments

    It has too much bass for us. Music on shows sbs movies are especially loud and the voices are low. I wish I could return it, but it’s past the return date.

    This soundbar keeps shutting off and back on all the time. Sometimes stays off. The main problem is I bought 2 of them and they both do it.

    This is the worst speaker with Bluetooth taking half hour each time to connect. Also the quality of the sound it less impressive than a $20 speaker. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this trouble speaker. You will be disappointed.

    Amazing surround sound without rear speakers

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    First time I have ever experienced convincing rear channels without rear speakers! I have tried *many* other “virtual surround” systems and this one is vastly better than anything I have heard. This system is small and sleek but the sound in a bedroom is incredibly loud. The only negative is that I can often localize low frequency sound to the subwoofer, but maybe that’s my imagination. $400 is a lot for a “2.1” soundbar, but now that I know virtual surround can be this good, I doubt I will bother with rear speakers ever again.

    Great apartment soundbar

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Recently purchased this soundbar for to go along with my new TV. I wasn’t happy with the sound the tv put out but didn’t want to spend a lot. This soundbar immediately improved the sound I was getting and was perfect for my apartment because it doesn’t have a subwoofer. The sound is still full and clear and exactly what I needed.

    Can't believe how much improvement in sound there was! Very simple and huge upgrade over just listening to shows with the TV. Talking and dialog was way better and nice surround effects too. I wasn't sure I needed to add another piece to my system but the size and price were just right. Highly recommend!

    This soundbar is a trusted brand and provides a powerful punch in a small package. It's upgraded our movie-watching to a delightful level. We only wish it had a port to allow us to connect our old-school subwooofer.
