    It's expensive for what you get. It doesn't sound any better than my $139 LG soundbar that came with a wireless subwoofer. It is 10 times the price and doesn't come with a subwoofer which is another $350 or $550.

    Great Soundbar. Bought to replace our klipsch soundbar that the kids had broke. This soundbar is so much better than our previous one. We also got the subwoofer to go with & love it.
