    Enjoying the sound and ease of setup from this sub. Previously had a much larger sub but allowing it to work wirelessly took more money and effort. While not as loud, this sub does its job well.

    Great Subwoofer and a must if you invest in a good OLED TV and Soundbar. I bought my sub as an open-box when the mgr at Best Buy made me a good deal. But, after 2 weeks it has a intermittent rumble and crackle that you can hear on some days but not on others. So I've decided to just return it within my return period and wait for another new one to be in stock. Great bass and a must with the HT-7000 soundbar.
