    This was an open box item that was missing the power cords. The customer service from Best Buy was horrible. They couldn't seem to get it together. I ended up buying replacement cords. The product is good an sounds great. But the customer service was horrible from there manager in different departments to the way they handled this situation. I would not advise anyone to buy any open box item online.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This item has movie and music settings which make a huge difference. You can also adjust the bass, treble, etc. and it has lights on the sound bar that show it's "listening". The one issue I had was that the connection wasn't very good and would cause stuttering or skipping in the audio playback, but we were unable to set it up in the two top recommended ways because we are lacking the tv ports. When it was connecting well though and after adjusting it to my preferences, it sounded great!

    Sound quality will be lacking for audiophiles but it's great for the price and to hold you over until you can afford true 5.1 sound.

    This systemnis perfect. It pairs nicely with our 55" Vizio Smart Cast 4k. It has worked well with all casting apps, the Ps3, and Xbox One. Sound is clear and crisp. No problems with volume. There can be am intermittent problem with sound cutting out. Also, if it has been on for many hours, there can be a discrepancy with the voice/lag. However just turning off the system and restarting seems to resolve this issue and has only happened when the tv has been left on for over 6 hours on the same channel.

    Provides great sound at a low cost. Not thrilled with how the speakers hang on the wall, but that's a minor issue. Great purchase
