Great for a budget!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great sound system on a budget! The quality of the sound is crisp & you get a whole theatre set up for half the cost of other leading brands. If you’re on a budget & looking for a quick set up this is your go to!

Ok sound quality but sooo many wires
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: ShaquanaV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this and I must admit I'm far from a fan of it. It is very lightweight and small but it has a light weight cheap feel to it. It reminds me of a surround sound I had in the 90s and with how far products have come that's definitely not a compliment. Also it's sooo many wires! 😫 I thought it was wireless but every speaker has a wire that is at least 4-6 ft long and each one has to be attached to the subwoofer. So either you keep the speakers all in one space like I had to or you have wires running all through out your room.
With regards to the sound it's not that loud at all. I have to put both my TV and the surround on max level to get a reasonable sound. But I will admit the sound is pretty clear. Im sure it would be better if the speakers were spread out but again with all the wires it's just not worth it.
Overall if you have a really small space and don't mind wires it should be ok. But if you're looking for high quality sound for a larger room, this isn't the product for you.

Do not waste your money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have tried multiple ways to get this to work and nothing has given us the results we had hoped for. Our tv does not have bluetooth so we bought a converter, the system will not hook up to it. The system has no support for any usb type cable. When usingbthe rsa cables only 2 apeakers work. No where on the box does it indicate you have to have a bluetooth tv for this to work. It will be going in the trash as it is completely useless.

Great all in one affordable sound system!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sound system seems like great quality. I like that everything comes in the box and the price for everything included seems really reasonable. It has surround sound speakers for 360 sound and the sound bar and subwoofer tie it all together. I can wait to get it set up for my home theatre!

We bought this a few weeks ago and it works great! The sound is clear and perfect for what we were wanting it for! It’s not too big and bulky like others and the sound quality is perfect!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Clear, Elevated Sound
on April 23, 2026
Posted by: NadiaD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought I would have a hard time connecting the system but it was actually pretty simple. My husband did have to help connect it correctly to the television but it was very quick. I find the speakers to have a very clear sound quality and the volume is adjustable with the handy remote that comes with it. I also love that I can connect my phone via Bluetooth and enjoy listening to my audio books and music while cleaning around the house. It’s very affordable if you were looking to elevate your sound system while watching tv or listening to music.

Good budget system
on April 21, 2026
Posted by: CeraR
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This isn’t as loud as some other brands but it’s a good budget system. It does sometimes give issues connecting to Bluetooth. This would be perfect for a smaller bedroom but not recommended for a large living room.

Too many wires
on April 21, 2026
Posted by: MayraO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setup was easy, but I didn’t like that it has a lot of wires to connect that’s the downfall of this, and you cant spread the speakers around the room because it has to be connected to the sub woofer with the wires. Sound is pretty good, reasonable for the size of the sub woofer. Nice to hear movies or music. The only thing that is blue tooth is the sub woofer you can connect your phone to it and hear music.
