    I love the surround system we purchased. It has great sound and makes watching movies on our new tv like sitting in a movie theater.

    This is a great soundbar. Installation was very easy. Purchased Bose first and returned it for this. Way better quality than Bose.

    Good sound system, I would give 5 stars but the sub could sound better and it could be made out of better material.

    5.1 sound bar

    I had the previous version of this sound bar as well. They do a great job in small to mid sized rooms where space is an issue. I was able to splice in a set of in wall surround speakers for a really clean set. I was also pleased to find that they fixed the issue with the volume steps from previous versions. On the older ones there was a big jump where many times you felt like dialogue was either way to loud or nearly silent. On the new ones they resolved this issue. If you was looking for true 5.1 sound but like the look and simplicity of a sound bar this is the choice for you.

    System is easy to set up, and provides solid wireless surround sound. The rear speakers are are easy to blow, so don't listen to music at high volume.

    The sound bar is a nice size, looks good and comes with a subwoofer. Set up seemed difficult. We still haven't figured out how to get it to work with the included remote, do we turn it on manually when we use it. I know there is an app that can control it, but have not tried that yet as the intention was for it to operate by remote for my parents to be able to use. Aside from that, the speaker seems to sound good. Have not haveand other sound bars to compare it to.

    I got this for my husband at Christmas. Easy to set up with our old Vizio tv (about 6 years old), then we bought a new Vizio smart tv and works great with it too. Music from our phones sounds awesome via Bluetooth; we can hear it without rattle or feedback on both floors of our home. Star Wars movies and ball games have been most impressive at demonstrating its immersive sound experience. :) Has several equalizer options for creating perfect music/movie sounds, even can lower volume automatically during commercials and reduce bass in night mode, which would be great for apartments. Glad I chose this one.
