Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with the HT-S400 2.1ch Soundbar, especially its sound quality, ease of use, and powerful bass. Many find the setup process simple and appreciate the Bluetooth connectivity for audio streaming. The design is also praised for being simple and elegant, while the size is considered perfect for many TVs. A minor drawback is the absence of an included HDMI cable.

    Good quality! Clear sound! Nice features I.e the night feature. Press the night button & it automatically cuts the volume & bass to a decent level, so you don’t disturb anyone that’s trying to sleep! Cons: when you pause it then press play, there’s a delay with the sound. Sometimes the bass sounds a lil off, where you hear this heavy thud of bass drop in the background.

    Power doesn't always mean clarity.

    I was looking to add a little better sound to a TV in a bedroom. The factory speakers were not bad, but aimed towards the back, so a little muffled. Having experience with other basic surround sound systems in the past, the specs on this one seemed perfect, and the wireless sub was a bonus. Setup was standard, but it was obvious they were looking for impact, as the bar and subwoofer are well oversized for their power. The sound is the disappointing part. It is basically two tweeters in the bar, and one subwoofer. Sound adjustment is poor as well, as volume controls the bar, and a separate +/- 10 option is available to proportionally control the sub. Sound from the bar produces too much treble, and the power seems not much better than the standard TV speakers. The sub is overly powerful, and booms excessively even when setting it in the negative range. Even trying various combinations of the "surround field" and "voice" features, I have yet to find a combination that blends together for a decent midrange. I have not yet, but seriously considering just going back to the standard TV speakers.

    This was purchased for my bedroom. It's not a Dolby Atmos bar but I didn't need that for my bedroom. It does the job well and I don't have any complaints.

    Great price, but not enough power in the subwoofer to satisfy me. Had a previous product and the subwoofer was much better. I returned the item to the store.
