I would recommend this to a friend We chose this soundbar for clear speech projection
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We spent time with an exceptional Best Buy salesman and settled on this soundbar because it seemed to have better speakers for speech (as opposed to music). It's fine for music, too, but we were interested in clear projection of speech for streaming movies and this soundbar performs well in that regard. We're very happy with it.

Get what you pay for
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works ok for the price, but if you are using it strictly with Bluetooth (i.e. with a Projector), you can’t adjust the bass to mid/high ratios. Sounds a bit can(ny) due to this.

Amazing Sound.... 90% of what I expected though
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar gave me all the audio improvements I could have hoped for. The one downside is not being able to set up all the features it has because my tv not liking setting up the arc connection. Without arc, it's just a normal soundbar. So now I need a new TV to get the most out of it

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to get a movie theatre effect and it delivered! The sound is def what I was looking for. The stores model didn’t do it justice. Once we brought it home and hooked it up and it was in a room and not a huge open store, it was even better! Definitely met our expectations

Sounds amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this because my Logitech z-cinema speaker system starting having weird issues. This sounds amazing and had plenty of bass. Gets pretty loud and the wireless is really nice. I have my ps4 and Nintendo switch going through the two built in hdmi ports without any issue. It still works with my Sony tvs auto on feature, so when I turn my ps4 on everything comes on as well, very nice! Same with the switch!
I would recommend this to a friendConvenient, pretty good sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar was bought because of its convenient wireless subwoofer and rears. My new house does not provide for the running of speaker wires to my former Paradigm 5.1 system. The Z9F system provides good sound, wide soundstage, clear dialogue, and, for me, no audio delay (it's adjustable). I have no Atmos BDs to test that feature, though. Wife likes it, too! Get the rears to go with it, or you'll be missing out.
I would recommend this to a friendGood quality sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really improves the sound over using just the TV speakers. Only reason I give it 4 vs 5 stars.. It sometimes out of the blue turns back on with grabbled voices coming thru even with out the TV turned on, very strange.
