    I've noticed that on some soundbars you can't always hear the people talking easily if there is loud music or action scenes going on around them. Well, this soundbar allows those sounds to come through as well or better than the loud background noises! I have no trouble hearing what is being said no matter what is going on in the scene I am watching. Great sound!

    So I bought this with my Sony 77' OLED tv to have everything match. I also bought the LG sp8ya to have something to test it with being both are Dolby Atmos and dtsx compatible. Well the Sony is really really load and more of a punch in the face where as the LG is more of what I want the MOVIE Theater sound. Sony claims the technology is there but I just didn't here it. I was going to to buy the rear speakers to see if they helped but the LG just gives the better sound imo. The Sony doesn't really have a real Dolby Atmos sound IMO.

    Originally had issues cutting out like many others have said but after playing with some settings, it’s been working flawlessly. It would cut out for a solid 30 seconds whether it was cable or a streaming app. Maybe it updated? But no longer has any issues at all and it sounds fantastic
