    Really Disappointed

    I saw Polk Audio and thought I was getting a quality product. Not so much. You’ve seen this in other reviews, it loses it’s wifi pretty quickly and from then on, every time it hears something that triggers it, it interrupts you programs audio to tell you that it can’t connect with the internet. Everytime you have to pause to wait for that before you can resume your program. What’s more, and I discovered this when I replaced it, it delays the audio on 4K videos. The sync was variable and annoying. After I replaced this paperweight, the audio was synced perfectly. The only difference was the soundbar. BTW, the new one is a Samsung and I’m smiling ear to ear. Don’t buy this.

    An excellent sound bar for all of your needs. Movies, sports and musics. This sound bar produce excellent clarity and an acceptable bass without a subwoofer. Alexa works great as well!

    Polk React! Fantastic Soundbar!

    I have another Polk product so was anxious to give this React soundbar a go. I received the subwoofer and bar on one day and 2 days later the surround speakers. Anyway I set up the 2 pieces initially and did have some trouble connecting to Alexa through the app on my phone. There is an orange light that flashes and it just wasn't going away. I finally disconnected everything and reconnected. Bingo! There Alexa was and it started working perfect. I have the Amazon Show and many other Alexa devices throughout the house so am very familiar with them. She responded well to whatever I needed. Then I put a movie on from Netflix, set the remote to MOVIE and was very impressed with the superb sound, even without the 2 rear speakers! This bar is far better than my other Polk. The Voice feature works great, superb bass and just sounds so full and rich. I do want to note that the remote control leaves something to be desired however, same as my last Polk setup. The volume button is somewhat slow to respond and I just do not like that rubbery feel. You have to really press in to get it to work correctly. It does offer various features however like a NIGHT, SPORT, MUSIC and MOVIE mode. Volume and Balance for the Surround speakers, a Bass control plus a TV and Bluetooth setting. Anyway I have Spotify so put that on next and picked out various types of music from rock to classical. All sounded pleasing to me and changing to the MUSIC mode helped it even more. Then I put a CD on and the sound was excellent, at least to my ears. After the 2 surround speakers arrived they paired up immediately and then this soundbar REALLY shined! WOW! I put on a Blu-Ray with Dolby Atmos and oh my goodness! The sound just filled up my large room!! It was a pleasure to listen to even more! I have now placed my other Polk outfit back in the box and am using this setup. Loving it too! A real decent soundbar for the price. I highly recommend it, but do believe you will need all pieces to get that complete surround feeling, especially for Atmos. Well worth the purchase!

    Purchased a Samsung 50" tv that had great picture, but the sound was poor at best We purchased the Polk sound bar which made a significant improvement is the sound, including surround sound with improved base/voice settings.
