Definitive Technology W Studio Micro Soundbar: Feel like you're right in the middle of all the action with the surround sound and deep, powerful bass. The slim design complements any home theater setup, and the subwoofer can be placed out of the way thanks to its wireless capabilities.

Disappointing, wish I could return it

If I would have known all the quirks with this instead of hoping I would get used to it, I would have returned it within the return policy.
I've been using this for 6 months and it's not reliable. The setup is really annoying, you have to download 2 separate apps to get everything to work and get ready to have to install a few updates once you have donwloaded the apps takes an hour. The system has no bluetooth compatibility so you have to setup the app and link each user to the hardware. This also eliminates the possibility of having guests easily connect to the hardware to play their own music from their own services. There is an optional wired option for the subwoofer but it creates odd feedback sounds when the hardware is left on but there is no sound source. What also has been really frustrating is if I use the app to play music but then want to stop and watch TV, have to power cycle the hardware a few times for it to understand that it should be playing sound from the TV. Another really frustrating repeated experience is when I want to do some chores and play music with the hardware, when go through the App it notifies me there is a mandatory hardware update and it needs to download and update the hardware, I can't delay this update and it's prevents me from using the hardware when I want to use it, 20-30 minutes it takes to complete these changes. The app should notify me when there is a required update so I can find a convenient time to install the updates to the hardware but it should also let me delay the process. The remote moderately awful, due to shape and how they have designed the buttons you can't tell if you have grabbed it backwards or forwards and since there is no illumination to the buttons, this makes it unnecessarily difficult to control. If the butons would be displayed in a way where you can feel the button pattern to tell what is the top and bottom it would be better, also optional illumination would be great. It's also so small and thin it's hard to get the remote signal to hit the right spot to control the hardware. Overall really unhappy with this item, it has pretty good sound when it works. Oh that reminds me sometimes the bass gets too loud but it doesn't remember that you had previously turned the bass down on the subwoofer, so if there is a show/movie/music you like to watch/listen and it is always a little too much bass, have fun turning the bass down every time you want to watch/listen to it.

This is a high quality case, it actually has 4 pieces that includes an optional belt clip that isn't even pictured. The phone feels very secure in this case.

Even though the subwoofer is wireless, does it have the option to be hooked up to the soundbar via subwoofer cable?
yes, but it doesn't work with a subwoofer cable it actually needs a 3.5mm headphone jack connection for both ends.
