    Sounds great through the HDMI connection. The rear speakers can be a bit much. Need to be adjusted down. Continually drops Airplay and Bluetooth connections, including to the app on your iPhone or iPad. Very frustrating. I went though all the install and troubleshooting steps. Tested it on multiple devices. Still encountered the issues. If you get your music through a streaming app on the TV like Amazon Music, this would be a solid option. If you stream music from your phone or iPad, look for something different.

    It’s been 3 weeks since I purchased this soundbar. They sound ok out of the box but after tweaking few settings to support Dolby atmos and pairing it with a Sony subwoofer they sounded great. So, far I am enjoying this purchase.
