    Great product for the price. Be careful not to overbuy for the room you are actually using the equipment in

    Both my husband and I have college degrees. However they were not in electronic set up of sound bars. We thought we would just have to plug it in to the TV with a few connections and it would be good to go. The instructions were not real clear and we spent at least 45 minutes trying to get the connections correct. Finally called a friend of ours who has been in electronics his whole life. Took him over 30 min. to figure it out

    I first ordered this sound system online and when I got it home and set it up, the sound bar worked amazing but the satellite speakers did not play sound. I brought it back to my local Best Buy (great customer service) and exchanged it for the exact system. When I got it home, everything works well and is loud and we are all able to hear the tv now!

    Let me just say the sound bar on its own rocks but with the added sub and satellite speakers it is a total package. Great for an apartment or small/medium size room. The sub included has amazing bass and makes movies so much more enjoyable. Forget turtle beaches, the satellite speakers are perfect for gaming. The set up is super easy and it comes with everything you need except the wall screws needed to mount the sound bar and satellite speakers.

    I have always had receivers with wired speakers. I wanted a good surround option but less big/costly equipment. This thing this perfect. I caught it on sale and have used it for a month. It's perfect. The sub is wireless (to the main bar) and connects to the rear speakers. The bar has nice extra features like bluetooth connectivity. I play lots of games and watch lots of movies and the quality of this setup is great, especially for the price.

    Overall it is a really great system. I'd definitely mount the sound bar if you can. I originally had it sitting on my entertainment system and it would move a little. I don't think it's heavy enough for the foamish type foot pads it has. The bass is strong and I can't hear any lag in the wireless surround! I'm very satisfied with it!!
