Fantastic sound, simple setup, works flawlessly
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect sound bar surround system, cannot recommend highly enough. If you are considering this, it is an excellent system overall. My wife, who usually doesn't care about this kind of stuff, has commented numerous times about how amazing everything sounds. The system has worked perfectly from the moment we turned it on. Setup was simple, true plug and play: I just plugged everything in and turned it on, and aside from naming the HDMI input in our Roku menu, have done literally nothing else and it's worked flawlessly every time. The sound quality is fantastic including the surround speakers (which are very helpfully labeled "L" and "R" and have separate plugs). The remote is very nice and it has lots of options, to adjust bass and voice (mid-range) up and down, change between movie/music/sports settings, and even adjust balance and volume for the left and right surround speakers. I was able to connect the unit to our Google Home app and connect via Bluetooth and stream music without any issues. The sub has an 8" down-firing woofer (meaning a woofer on the bottom of the sub that fires down towards the floor) that provides deep bass that doesn't drown out other sounds. Overall couldn't be happier with this system and expect it will have a place in our family great room for years to come.

Soundbar is special
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar is great. It sounds great and it’s pretty easy to set up. Just follow the instructions in the manual and make sure everything is connected. There are lights on everything, the surround speakers, the subwoofer and the soundbar, and make sure they are all showing that they are connected, especially the wi-fi light on the soundbar for automatic updates. I thought everything was connected properly, but it wasn’t, and I was having some of the issues other people were describing. Again, follow the instructions thoroughly, and this soundbar is the best. I have other soundbars, and they don’t compare to the Polk soundbar. The voice enhancement feature is also a great plus, because many other soundbars are weak in this regard. This soundbar is so good that it almost sounds as good as my 11.2 channel home theater room, and that’s not really a fair comparison since it’s 20 times the price. The Bluetooth sounds great too, especially all channel stereo.

Love it!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Theater sound at its finest! I upgraded from a Bose that was at least 10yrs old but the sound quality was still great the downside was so many wires!! The Polk system is wireless with the exception of the power cords and very user friendly, and the sound quality is A-mazing!!! The first movie night was awesome, if u want to shake the roof....look no further!!

Just Buy It Already.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're like me, you probably read the reviews on this soundbar, watched some videos and asked "Is it really that good?" Short answer, Heck Yes! Long answer, let me explain. I've been wanting to get a 5.1 system for some time, but Dolby Atmos wasn't an option, as in my experience it sounds terrible on cathedral ceilings. However due the the layout of my home, running wires wasn't an option, I needed a truly wireless option. *Insert audiophiles screaming at me So after reading extensive reviews I purchased it on sale for $450 a few days prior to this review, I am thoroughly impressed with it. I heard a knock at the door, answered it to find nobody there, then I realized it was from the Polk system. I felt both like an idiot and incredibly impressed. Movies and TV shows with good 5.1 source audio sound amazing on this sysem. Mine required a bit of tuning on the remote, I have the terrible popcorn ceiling, so increasing the bass was a must. Music sounds pretty good, but it's designed with movies in mind, so decent music from it is a bonus in my book. I mounted the satellite speakers with the Rocketfish Speaker mount kit, please mount them to studs, not drywall. In summary this is a truly amazing product of incredible quality, and is worth every penny I paid. I intend to update this review at 3, 6, and 12 months to provide long term feedback.

Great deal.. Great product!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very pleased with this system! I purchased this on Black Friday for $200 off! I had been looking at the system without the rear speakers. As I read more reviews everyone wished they would’ve got them. This was super easy to hook up and works super great. It is in the man cave but is so clear we actually use it for whole house music.

DoRight
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound for TV, movies and playing music. The bass is awesome when you want to give what you're listening to more boost! I would like to add that the TV remote doesn't sync to the sound bar to be able to control the volume with just one remote which would be nice but have gotten accustomed to.

Great replacement for my Vizio that broke
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would give a 4.5 star but can’t. Great sound quality. Love the sound. It can be a little touchy when connecting to multiple ports via the HDMI ARC. But it was easy to set up and have had no issues since set up. Only real issue is when switching ports sometimes it takes a little bit for it to register a connection.

Clean and punchy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Actually, if i could id give it 4.75. Sofkeys on remote are horrible. I find myself pressing harder and harder. Not super responsive I guess.. BUT!!!! Ive tried numerous soundbars from 175.00 to 700.00 and this was my pick. I didnt want a bunch of tech geeks insisting they're products on me as THE way to listen. I want clean powerful ways to dial in my soundbar, so im staying with 5.1 for now. Atmos is still in its infancy. Ill wait a bit before i step up. The sub is stronger than any ive tried and this puppy is loud and clean (very impressed) The vocal adjustment is cool. Kinda like a designated center channel Overall, this is the 1 for me. The remote keys blow.

Online and in Store Prices
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My story to this purchase was ok. I did my research on Best Buy online on surroundsound systems. I went to the store and the prices do not match the Best Buy Online. The representative was having a hard time confirming the prices from store and online for the exact item. I got frustrated and started to look at other brands. My orginial thought was the brand Samsung to match the Tv. I look at the Polka and love the sound. I told him i will take this one. He scan and came with a different price. Not matching the visual price it had in front of our eyes. Poor guy and us. He told me he can not do anything about it and it was the only Polka surroundsound they had at store. By than i was already laughing and frustrated. I ask too speak to manager. She came it took a bit for an answer but she finally help us out. I am happy with my purchase but Best Buy need to invest more time on trainings or work on there Online and in Store prices.

Good deal
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound quality. When I play music it sounds amazing. Only issue I have is when I turn it off just to listen to my tv speakers if I adjust my volume it turns the sound bar back on. The sub could be a little bigger for slightly deeper bass and I like how you can adjust the voice only volume and the rear speaker volume it’s an all around good sounding system.

Sounds Great, but its glitchy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the main reasons i bought this was the wifi to add to my google home surround sound group for extra bass. I would say 1/20 times it actually works when telling google to play on the soundbar, or on surround sound. I would say 50% of the time when i connect my phones bluetooth to it, it works without having to unplug and plug it back in. And 90% of the time when i turn my tv on, it automatically turns on and has sound. Connectivity sucks with it. I will say, set up was quick, easy and flawless. Everything sounds great, i like the detents in the remote for easy use in the dark. If it wasnt for the fact that it sounded decent znd had wireless rear speakers i wouldve brought it back. But ill push through the nonsense.
