||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was expecting better sounds, however I don’t regret buying it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot happy at all!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had this for almost 3 months now and have had several issues with it. First the remote never turns off and burns batteries frequently. Second, the bar often fails to turn on with the TV and “freezes”, which can only be fixed by unplugging directly from the wall to reset. Then it works fine for the rest of the day, until the following morning usually. Spend the extra money and buy quality.

Good with patience once turned on
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Frustrating when turning on tv and you have to wait for it to find it even hooked up with wire not via Bluetooth. Have to go through input options back to optical to get it to work even if on it already. Once on and tv finds it, it works great! Just have to have patience.

Open box described as excellent/blown subwoofer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Main speaker seems fine but sub woofer arrived blown. I bought it open box and it just arrived in the packaging, with no external box. Package was trashed, so I'm not surprised about the subwoofer

Posted .Hello Worldville, open box items are more likely customer returns that cannot be sold as 'brand new' anymore. These items are inspected, cleaned, and sold at a discount. Open box items have varying conditions that will state whether the item is 'like new' all the way down to 'functional but missing necessary components', think a laptop missing a charger as an example. Most open box items can be inspected in-store by you before purchasing. If you have any questions or need any assistance, we are available through text message, chat, or over the phone.

1st one good, 2nd one not so much
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 2nd one. Really liked the 1st one, so thought I'd get another for my daughter. Unfortunately this one sounds terrible. Very tinny and no bass. Had to return. So 50/50 if it's good or not. When it works, it's great for the sale price
I would recommend this to a friendLook at elsewhere, or buy mine for cheap on craigs
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar has given me numerous issues. First off, some robot announces loudly every time it’s turned on whether or not the subwoofer is connected; very annoying. Also, I have had numerous issues with the sound changing out of control and remote controls not working properly. Finally, the bass and subwoofer far outweigh the soundbar so sound levels need to be high to hear movie dialogue, but it ends up too high when the action explodes
No, I would not recommend this to a friendReturned - DOA
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately I had to return this sound bar system. I’ve set up many sound systems in my life and this one was extremely difficult. It should have been easy with it being paired with a Visio M-series through the ARC HDMI; however, it was far from it. It absolutely would not recognize the main speaker. The TV and Sub speakers worked fine but the main not a drop of sound. I finally ran a speaker test and the main did not fire so it must have been DOA. So I brought back.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound isn’t any better then my tv. I’m having issues with the volume, when I try to turn the volume up or down, it will not work. On the remote, it shows everything I’m clicking and it’s not the batteries.

Worst Soundbar I’ve Ever Owned
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The absolute worst piece of tech I’ve ever purchased. The lows, mids, and highs all middle together clumsily and despite my tinkering with the settings it sounded like I was listening to anything I played through a brick wall. Not to mention the booming voice that announces every setting change (which, granted, can be turned off, but why even HAVE that?). I seriously do not recommend this soundbar.

Was great until it died after 15 months
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar was my first, and I loved it's various sounds modes, most used being dialog and movie. It was a huge upgrade from my tv's audio, until it DIED. That's right, only a little over a year after I opened the box, this soundbar just stopped working completely. What a piece of crap, exclusively because of the build quality! This makes me really hesitate to buy any visio product.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My soundbar connects when off. Got a replacement and same thing happened. I was sleep and some random person connected to it and it scared me.
