Grrrrreat sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much bigger sound and clarity than anticipated. The subwoofer was a little bigger for placement as well as the length of the sound bar. These items did not fit original placement. Small adjustment to pay for great sound.

Great system at a great price
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love my system, especially the bass - it hammers!! It is easy to hook up and set up - music is awesome and, on the movie setting, you can actually hear EVERYTHING in the background - it's amazing!

Sound Good
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm happy with this sound bar system for the most part . Only a couple of complaints , one the low end bass could use some help , second too often I find the system won't respond to the remote ! I have to unplug the sound bar and plug it back in and then it works ?!?

It’s ok, if you can’t afford a real system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like my old Polk, same model and tried to hook this up in my bedroom but the rear speakers just would not hook up, so I just built and old fashioned system with a receiver and speakers and boy an I glad I did.

Sounds great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good deal. I wasnt sure at first. But its actually very good quality and sounds awesome. The sub is deep, 1 surround speaker acts a little odd at times. Setup was easy.

Garbage
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this system for the black fridag sale 2022. Installed it in our new home around May of 2023, needless to say im leaving a 1 star review. The surround sound speakers were crackling the first day. The sound bar has minimal settings for adjustment and the sound itself was just garbage. For this price save yourself the hassle and buy LG meridian.

We purchased multiple units
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this product twice. But not for the reasons you would like to think. To understand where I'm coming from I will tell you that I would not consider myself an audio file. With that said, I do require my audio components to live up to certain standards including clarity of voice, mid-range and solid base. I bought my Polk magnify Max RS at my local Best buy. When it was up and running and performing as it should it was everything I hope my $500 would get. Clarity, solid base, And an overall good listening experience no matter whether I was listening to Spotify or watching a good movie with an excellent soundtrack. It was a good experience... When it performed at 100% As I mentioned, I purchased this product twice. The first time I purchased it, the built-in Chromecast Wi-Fi setup connected to my router and network flawlessly. We were thrilled. Easy set up all the way around. Then, later that evening we settled in for a good movie, looking forward to a good surround sound experience. Unfortunately, the Polk Audio Magnifi Max Surround Sound speakers started making a crackling noise. It would come and it will go and it would come and it will go.. and then it never left. No matter what we listened to, no matter how we set up the speakers. No matter how many times we re-synced the satellite speakers. No matter how many times we reset the router no matter how many times we disconnected the Polk magnify Max system from our Wi-Fi and then connected again.. the crackling was there and it was not going to go away. Then we googled it.. and sure enough, there it was, plain as day.. We had joined a club that we did not want to be part of. Unfortunately, I was sure I could fix it and messed with it long enough to where we ended up having to go out of town for a week and then when we came back, we were not able to return it. So I bought a second one. And return the first one. I hooked the second one up and the crackling was no more! Beautiful sound. But we had another problem now!.. and we still have that problem to this day... This one will not connect to our network. And again, we googled it. And again.. we found via the magic of the internet that we had once again joined a club that we did not want to belong to. It is a frustration that a consumer of a product with the brand name Polk on it should not have to endure. Unfortunately that is what we will end up doing. Or maybe I'll buy a third one...

Price is right for the sound.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good soundbar, better than BOSE! Yes, i've tested BOSE bars with Bass Module for $700! and they suck. Hard to control using my phone and sound is too crisp, missing the Mid tones!!! Bass is great but its all over the tones and makes the sound, sound like earphones. This is great, ut of the box, power them all on and listen. All speakers pair without any buttons being pressed and sometimes you'll hear popping sounds but thats because of the WiFi router that has 2.4 and 5G bands on, like mine. After few pops, the soundbar adapts and its gone. I like it, many others like it and the price right now is really cheap because this 10" bass box does give you enough bass at MAX volume in a 1000 Sq ft room!

Not bad for the price i paid
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is real good when working, until you hear crackling and popping. But it appears maybe once in a full movie. Im okay with it since I bought the open box 30% off original price.

Ok not great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The set up is difficult, depending upon your TV. It does take some adjusting during the set up. The best part is the middle sound that accentuates voices, making it easier to hear.

Polk surround sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent surround system. Incredible bass. Theater quality. Paired with my tv instantly as soon as it turned on. Would give it 5 stars but I’ve experienced some sort of feed back occasionally.
