This sound bar has great sound, more bass than you could ever want, and I absolutely love listening to music on it. But do not consider this as the sound system for your main TV. It is impossible to sync the audio to the video. I connected my soundbar to a Vizio TV through both the analog and the HDMI connection. The connection through HDMI throws the lip sync way off - like 1/3 of a second, so I switched to one of the analog connections and it was better, but still not perfect. Both the Vizio TV and the sound bar have sync settings, but they only delay the audio more, making it worse. The best the lip sync gets is on live TV through the antenna. My other two inputs - Roku and TiVO (both HDMI connected to the TV) - have major sync problems, which may start with the TV and get worse as they get to the soundbar. I use the digital input to stream Pandora through my phone and chromecast, but when I switch to the TV, it retains the equalizer and surround settings from the digital settings (again making the sync way off), which then resets when I reset the sync settings. Too many bugs requiring workarounds. Again, the sound quality is great and I would recommend it for listening to music, and I can watch the news and sitcoms without getting too distracted by the bad lip sync, but since HDMI is required for 5.1 sound, and it's impossible to get good lip sync through that, I cannot recommend watching movies (and some TV dramas) with this system.

it is loud, clear, crisp. Bass is nice but not over powering. Works great out of the box. The subwoofer sometimes turns itself off in power saving mode even when disabling power saving. just power off and power on the system again and the woofer will turn on.

Sound is great! Small though.wasn't too crazy about the size of the speakers. Otherwise it', good for a room. The price was high for them size but overall good.
