    Little sound bar, big sound. Better than I was expecting. Bought two wireless Polk speakers which paired easily. Worth every penny.

    This sound bar with subwoofer produces great sound in a small package. My wife can “feel” the sound in our bedroom when I am watching a movie in the living room. This is a great buy for the cost.

    I’m giving this item four stars even though I returned it. It was my communication error that put a speaker that doesn’t work with my system into my house. The favorable rating is earned by the simplicity and ease I had returning the unit with only one question asked, “Do you have your receipt?” I did, however, if I hadn’t had it my guess is that it could have been produced by Best Buy’s system.

    Has terrific sound. When I first set the system up the speaker worked but the remote did not. Actually the speaker was not responding to the remote control. A call to Polk costumer service corrected the problem. We had a new speaker in four days. Polk was easy to work with and it sounds great.

    Do not let the size fool you. This Polk soundbar is the real deal when it comes to sound! It’s very dynamic & cohesive when paired with the sr2 surrounds. The bass is a little overwhelming because it is tiny compared to others in its price range but it does give you that oomph when needed but it is never ground shaking. The only down side I have is the 1 hdmi output that every manufacturer seems to do.

      Hello, the wireless subwoofer speaker receives its signal from the soundbar via RF. Some routers tend to emit signal interference that could cause connection issues. In most cases, repositioning the wireless subwoofer or router will correct the problem. If we can assist, please don't hesitate to reach out. 800-377-7655 (Product Support) Mon - Sun: 9AM - 9PM EST PolkAudioMarketing

    My roommate had one his the living room with the wireless speakers because I recommended him to it because I had the first get I absolutely loved, this small speaker is well loud for it's size or a major room, and the remote actually has a Bluetooth button which is a big improvement instead of getting out of bed to press Bluetooth in the speaker itself, I am selling my old one to get this speaker before this year is over, mark my word

    Best soundbar under $300 in 2021The problem with most soundbars is that they're ginormous -- if you have a small TV or accompanying stand they may dangle off of it. The MagniFi Mini's main speaker is barely a foot across and yet it's able to offer an ultra-wide sound with clever
