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.

    I have had a couple issues whee if turned itself off, though that is usually right after turning on the tv. The sub did a surprisingly good job of not being able to tell where the sound is coming from, which surprises me in such a small subwoofer.

    We have been using this almost a year now. It works just as it should. Has great base for those movies that sound great with it. Twister is a great movie to try the systems out. For most regular tv we turn the base off which is very easy. We love this so much that we have purchased the smaller one for our small tv.

    Great Product but returning. We purchased the next level higher to this product of the same brand. During set up we realized that the Sub is wired and our preference is to all components wireless.
