Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the sound quality, easy setup, price, and bass of the SmartCast 5.1 Channel Sound Bar System with 5-1/4" Wireless Subwoofer. They appreciate the clear sound, simple installation, affordability, and strong bass. However, customers are negative about the connectivity, remote control, durability, and auto power-off feature. They have experienced issues with the sound bar disconnecting from the TV, the remote control not working properly, the sound bar not lasting long, and the sound bar randomly turning off.

    The sound bar works great but the sub and additional speakers were difficult to sync to the sound bar. I have moved it since the original installation and it was still difficult to sync.
