Defective, waste of money, regret buying it
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the soundbar plus subwoofer in July 2018. The subwoofer fizzled out at some point in the last year. It was plugged into a surge suppressor and used about 3 hours a day. It won't power on at all now. I'm not the only one with this issue apparently. Wish I'd bought anything else.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Decent soundbar, didn't love the sub.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked the soundbar and its quality. The sub however lacked deep bass regardless of placing it in various locations and distances from the wall.

Descent sound

Sub woofer stopped working
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Subwoofer stopped working all of a sudden, tried relinking it and reconnecting it. Still does not work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Ok unit for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not work well with my projector, get an echo if the subwoofer is turned up. Maybe would be better if I could put them further apart.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWeak soundbar, decent bass
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would never imagined that my actual 4K TV (Samsung Model: UN49KS8000) actually produces better sound quality than Sony's 2-channel speaker. I mean, were they even trying to replicate theater sound or just they thought, "hey this garble of action scenes and dialogue is just what the customers wanted". I really want to return this but already past the return date. The good news is looks great as a aesthetic piece for my entertainment center.
