    Overall, a very good system with Bass very heavy (adjusted to my liking on 3) - The Atmos sound is very good - not all movies have. Have a semi vaulted ceiling and the calibration does work. Very pleased with purchase and maybe price point is high, but ok.

    I bought this BJL Bar 500 at Best Buy for $400. The 300w sub woofer is very powerful that it shakes my living room like earthquakes when watching action movies. Installation is straight forward. It is the best $400 I spent.

    The tech guy was very helpful and explain the difference from the different products of a home theatre system. I was going to go somewhere else but when he helped me and made me realize what a great product this was. I change my mind, this product has been amazing at the house for movies and sports events. Highly recommended

    Excellent sound quality. Plenty of power of a large room. Autocalibration enhances the quality of the sound. Not 5 stars only because there is no option to add rear speakers.

    Sound is great especially for the price...but the controls for sound are mediocre at best. no real choices and have to use an app for mostly everything making the remote mostly useless. Also cannot get it to work with roku or tv remote making a one remote situation impossible

    Had an LG to match my tv. It often lost connection. Once I bought this I realized the sound quality and I have had two disconnects. The sound is booming! Don't setlle! Go for the brand that only makes speakers!

    This was a solid purchase and fell in love with it when testing it in the store initially. Perfect for our living room situation and delivers in the quality of sound without taking up too much space. Highly recommended.

    Very easy to set up and provides a clear sound. Sub could be better but excels at voice quality. I would recommend it for general listening but not necessarily for movies.
