Great sound bar
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Could not get sound to play through the optical cable connection. Ended up just connecting with an hdmi cord. Took away a star for not being able to use optical connection.

An average soundbar.

Looks good but haven’t heard it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for the lake house. Was a open box item. Box was pretty beat up but contents were fine. Missing both electric cords, and any other cords if they were included. Ordered electric cords for it. Plugged everything in and tried to turn it on. The sub powered up but I could not get the soundbar to turn on. I definitely won’t buy an open box item again. I just can’t believe that Best Buy wouldn’t power up something before reboxing it for sale. I’m disabled so I usually shop online and have been stressed about going to the store to return it. Txted Best Buy online and have a return label but was told that I would have to pay for UPS to re box for the return since the box was so beat up that I threw it out. Sure wish there was a easy way out of this. Am regretting my purchase.
