Good bar for TV and movies. Not good for music.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Bad
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Being honest I expected way more when I purchased this soundbar considering the high price point. The soundbar was bad it kept disconnecting from the tv every five minutes. I have to turn it off and and on again in order for it to work. Also the sound quality was not great either considering the price there are many options with way better sound at this price.

Amazing sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Bar 9 is a very good system
|Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pricey but worth it if you are going for a full home set up. The bar 8 would be a close runner up in my opinion but if you get it for a good sale definitely consider getting this system.
