"Dialogue"

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
We selected this product based on it's description and one of the main reasons is we wanted clarity on movie and program dialogue unfortunately it didn't come through for us the bass is great but at times over powers the dialogue. We are finding that we turn up the volume to hear the dialogue and to have to turn it down when the bass kicks in. JBL makes a good product but we think more R&D on this product line needs to be done...

Was looking for something loud with a good bass so decided to choose this sound bar and I definitely didn’t like it voice gets low when people talk and it gets worse when they whisper I have to put the volume higher to hear but other than that has a good sound specially for music.

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.
