    This soundbar makes you feel like you're in the movies, 10/10 would recommend for anyone that watches a lot of TV or movies. Not as good if you primarily watch sports but definitely still works for noise.

    This sound bar does a very good job with atmos and has great bass from the woofer. The sound cuts in and out in the center during dialogue and sounds crackly on occasion. I will be returning or exchanging.

    So far it’s way better than our old simple sound bar. Our living room is a pretty big size with no carpet and this thing has no problem filling the space. I really love that we can use the app as the remote control for it adjust the sound from it.
