    This is great. Surround sound is a must have for animal crossing. You hear them coming from miles away.

    Sounds great. Only thing about it I don’t like is it will randomly turn off even while watching something on tv.

    This is a Great Chromecast Sound System. You can't beat the value. The rear speakers plug into the wireless subwoofer as a bonus.

    The Smartcast 5.1 Sound bar is a great, affordable sound system which has a number of nice features and delivers! This is my second Smartcast 5.1 ! Would recommend getting the extra warranty since some do have issues with the rear speakers... (square trade fixed my first one).

    Really great sound system. I really liked the idea of having the back speakers wired to the wireless subwoofer.

    Recently moved where I went from a wired 7.1 surround sound system to this. In the store thought it was comparable to more expensive sound bars. Works ok but if you really want big theater sound this might not be for you.
