    Connected fine to my Vizio TV using HDMI ARC, which really helped with sound/video sync issues I encountered using Toslink (Optical) cable. Sound quality provided didn’t justify the price though. I returned it.

    I bought to help enhance a 15 to 20 year old Sanyo TV. Sadly, it would NOT work and thus, I had to take it back. I hope it works well for someone else ....

    Sound is Not Great

    Sounds coming from this unit seem to be almost muffled at higher volume or sound out-of-pitch to my ears. Tried different cables and nothing seems to work. So now I have a glitchy Samsung soundbar and a TV I paid more for after setting up that's not returnable since out of the 'return window.' Used to sing praise for Samsungs and recommended them to everyone (and have 2 others in my condo) - now I feel like Samsung and Best Buy should be ashamed of their pricing and quality issues.

    The bass is very poor, the volume does get loud but sounds clangy with out the rumble of bass. I was told to also buy a subwoofer but would have definitely purchased a sound-bar that’s comes with a subwoofer. This speaker was $99 so it seemed like a bargain and turns out, you get what you pay for and you DON’T get what you don’t pay for. That’s it, level up and do not purchase this speaker
