    You’ll never go to a movie theater again. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, but the sound from this speaker makes me want to re-watch Star Wars, Avatar, Top Gun, and Bohemian Rhapsody with the volume turned UP!

    We've had our fair share of Sound bars and I have to say this one beats them ALL!! I had the Klipsch Cinema 800 it was horrible, I've had Samsung and LG and just nothing fits until now. Highly recommend

    Had the Geek Squad come out to diagnose my old one and it was shot. I asked for his recommendation and he suggested this one. It was in stock so I bought with my Best Buy app and scheduled him to install it. Very easy and sound quality is GREAT.

    I was not sure about the purchase but wanted to give it a try. Must say i am so happy with the sound clarity and quality. I have plugged it with my long shot smart projector with hdmi and set up a room in basement as nice dark theatre room now.

    Great for sound bar for a decent price. Subwoofer out performs my old LG soundbar by far. The app/wifi sucks, it keeps disconnecting and you can’t control it from the app but I didn’t buy it for that.
