    I purchased the wireless Sub and two surrounds to go with the Sound Bar, but it produces beautiful, strong sound on its own if needed. I also purchased the wall mount to go below the television and it looks great; the only complaint about doing that is the location of the digital optical audio port - plugging it in leave the wire pointing down so when pulling it back up to the wall mount you can see some of the cord sticking out. It is a really minor thing so I still give this 5 stars, but that's a small detail that would make the unit that much nicer looking - put it in one of the sides so the wire runs parallel to the speaker bottom.

    Sonos is Amazing

    Sonos is the way to go in your home period. My house is prewired for roof speakers throughout and has knobs on the wall for volume. After extensive research I decided to do Sonos. Great decision I run the entire house from the Sonos App. You can connect all your favorite music. ETC I linked I heart Radio, XM Radio, Amazon Prime Music and much more. The App is super east to set speakers all over the house and group them. The Sub and sound bar are amazing quality. I even purchased the connect for my regular stereo system making is Sonos too. For outside I purchased the connect with build in AMP to run outdoor speakers. AMAZING PEORID.

    Easy set up. I paired this with the sub woofer in the living room. The whole downstairs is amazing sound from my phone. Couldn’t be happier with the quality

    While other sound bars may have more watts and might even be half the price this packs a punch they can't rival. I'd say the only drawback is that it only accepts optical input for audio. I've now got two of these and would have a third if it would work with my older non-optical TV. The ease of use including the ability to get a single remote controlling everything is unrivaled. The slick Sonos app lets me easily select how many Soundbars, Amps or Plays are grouped to the same audio source, but each has independent volume levels. Slick product.

    First, the positive. We wanted to wait to watch Bohemian Rhapsody until we got this sound bar. We felt like the TV speaker wouldn't do it justice. We were right. This speaker made the sound and experience so much better. The sound was great. We have also used the Sonos app to play music over the speaker as well. Also great sound. We love how the app asks you to move around the room to get a sense of the space. It seems to work as the sound fills the room well. Now for the not as positive . . . the app is a bit limited where you can't just play music from your phone. You can play through many other services so that's not all that bad. The biggest negative for me is that the soundbar does not work well with our TV remote. While it will show on the TV that it is trying to change the volume, you literally have to have the remote within 2 feet of the speaker to actually get it to change volume. It is quite annoying. We have just resorted to using the Sonos app to control the volume, so keep your phone handy.

    This is a great speaker. It is so easy to set up. Just plug it to your television, sync it to your other SONOS components and you are ready to go. It provides great sound. You won't be disappointed.

    Very good sound bar to replace the TV speakers. For an awesome experience compliment it with the matching Sub woofer. A bit pricey but have enjoyed every dollar spent on it.

    This sound bar paired with 2 Sonos 1's create the best wireless surround sound you can get. Add the sub and you'll never need to go to a Movie Theater again.

    This is an excellent soundbar, but to fully realize its potential, you need to purchase an additional subwoofer and rear speakers. I had hoped it would provide computerized simulated surround sound, but that was my error. The quality of the device is EXCELLENT. Setup is easy, but plan on getting on the internet for instructions, and plan on using oyur Bluetooth computer or smartphone. I would but it again, and I would rate it five stars with a full setup. As it is, it provides clear sound, but bass response is not much better than my TV.

    i looked and kick buying this around for 6 months, best buy/sonos is not doing this speaker any fivers by how it's displayed. when i got this set up and going i really could believe how accurate the sound was, it integrates into the tv so simple my wife even liked it! i love this it makes the living room feel more warm and we have found ourself a listening to music more. i loved this so much i bought the solo the very next day. i loved this more that my days fancy bose speaker that he since replaced with a super expensive i wall system. i wished that is was a bit smaller but the wall bracket make it really look nice!

    Best SoundBar I have ever used/heard

    I gave this sound bar 4 stars because there is a little bit of misinformation regarding the setup of the device. I purchased this sound bar in conjunction with the wireless subwoofer for use in my bedroom to listen to music and watch movies. The sales person at BB neglected to mention that I would need a Sonos Bridge to make this work wireless. The paper work doesn't really reflect this nuance either. After about an hour of fiddling I called the tech support. I spent way more on this than I wanted to , but I am very pleased with it now.

    SONOS is amazing, the playbar is even better! The music carries throughout my great room/kitchen and even outside if the windows are open. And when you turn on the TV it automatically registers it as the source to play. LOVE IT
