    Poor service

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

    Over a month and keep delivering a broken soundbar. Keep saying sorry and rescheduling next week. Horrible quality management. We believe they just keep sending the same broken soundbar. No accountability. Geek squad on 2 deliveries were good the one on the second delivery would be looking for another job if he worked for me. Best Buy needs to review this sub contract with the geeks. Oh and this was a 5K order. I intend on releasing similar reviews on google and other media as no one seems to care about there very poor service.

    for the money this is absolutely no better than sound bars half the price...there is no function on it to help with voice sync and paring it with my new $2000.00 Samsung produced no difference in the tv voice sync than my previous Samsung sound bar

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

    This would just shut off for no reason. Very annoying while watching a movie and I'd have to turn everything off then back on and link everything back up. I only had it for 3 weeks and could only get store credit. I'm disappointed in the product and bestbuy.

    Stopped connecting after 3 weeks. Best buy wouldn’t take it back, forced to ship back to manifacturer and wait a month to see if theyll replace and send a new one. The hassle isn’t worth it
