Theater like experience

I was initially looking for something with Chromecast and Alexa, but this is for the bedroom and secondly could not find a quality soundbar. Then I realized I would rarely use that function since there are speakers in the bathroom, living room etc to do that.This bar will play music from your phone or attached USB or HDMI source.
But the main criteria is to have great sound coming out of the TV. This unit performs beyond expectations and sounds as good as a 7.2 speaker system. It helped mounting the Soundbar above the TV and not below to get the best output and the detachable Surround speakers at the same height and the calibrated the speakers.
Makes watching TV on a 60 inch screen enjoyable.
If you want a true Surround Speakers experience, and don't want to mess with wires I have found nothing better. Moving the magnetic surround speakers from the mount back to the bar for charging is easy. Above all, it's a well designed unit that looks as beautiful as it sounds.

My husband wanted a Bose system, but I did some reviews and got him this for Christmas. It is so crystal clear. The subwoofer fools me sometimes. I think something is outside the house but its just the low tones coming thru that sound like real life. My husband is very pleased with it as well.

Only one drawback to an outstanding system

This was a Christmas gift to my wife and myself. It sounds "good"--better than other options out there for similar price. I LOVE the detachable surround speakers--and trust they have that patented! However, there is one issue I can't solve. There doesn't seem to be any method to adjust equalization. The remote has a control to increase/decrease the subwoofer---but otherwise, no way to adjust other than that. There are 5 pre-defined equalizations selectable ie: music/sports/standard/movie. But that's the extent of adjustment available. Nonetheless, the detachable surround speakers (completely wireless), and GENERALLY good sound reproduction would encourage me to purchase again or recommend highly.

Thundering BASS

I bought this product last week and I have turned on the Dallas Cowboys game and you could hear everything so crisp. With my previous system I couldn't hear the intricate little background sounds like I can with this system. The bass is extremely loud and it makes my entire house shake. I love bass so this system suits me perfectly. Music is clear and it is easy to control the system through the remote. I would highly recommend this if you are an avid movie watcher or love playing your music loud. The sub is probably a good 40 pounds so that right there shows the quality of the product.

Great soundbar and amzing sub

I'm very much pleased with my purchase of this soundbar. The sound quality is phenomenal with deep base! The sub literally shakes your room! I'm not an expert on sounds but I felt sound was comparable to bose soundtouch 300 with sub and surround package which costs way more. The setup was very easy (just one HDMI cable) to connect to TV. The soundbar can be controlled with TV remote just fine. The Bluetooth also works as expected and once paired, very easy to switch to bluetooth without having to use the remote. Overall, very happy with the purchase and I would certainly recommend it for anyone looking for soundbars in this price range
