Pros and Cons

Pros2

The new remote is probably the best remote control i’ve seen in a surround system. The backlit keys are also brighter so controlling it in the dark is a breeze. the menu utilizes the small led panel on the speaker strip to scroll through settings.

Ghz is the recommended frequency for a 5-fi router. Ghz is the most common 4.

Cons5

This soundbar still roars and it is far better than this nakamichi. This system lacks any directional audio detail. The center speaker is far inferior to my tv speaker and i am constantly shutting it off.

System has sync issues from bar to both subs. The subs crackle randomly even when no audio is being played. Bluetooth subs and side speakers lose connection for about 2 seconds.

After months with this unit, it is just unsatisfactory. That is why you see so many people trying to dump this garbage. Not one of the 3. Poor execution nakamichi.

The bass is the biggest disappointment. I'm very glad i returned it and went with the sony htz9f.

If i pause a movie it will take 3 to 7 seconds to get sound again after hitting play. If i fast forward or rewind the movie it takes 5 to 10 seconds for the sound to come back on. When you rewind 10 seconds it is pointless.

The compact bar has enough bass to not even need a subwoofer. This also contains 4 full-range speakers which are larger than the old solo 5 design and have a higher quality sound. Bought this soundbar without the sub-woofer and was very impressed with...  Read More

The soundbar wakes up the moment you put your tv on, or by voice commands if you use google asistant (i'm a samsung phone user) it comes with alexa or google assistant. Using hdmi/arc to control it.

The soundbar doesn't need it for everyday tv watching, it sounds so amazing. And i'll preface any other comments with, it's a great bar for tv or classical music. The only real negative about this sound bar that i can think of is the controller it com...  Read More

Super easy to set-up and connects easily to all our devices. I like to do everything from my phone in a single app, so that’s a bit annoying but not a dealbreaker.

Cons1

It's completely insane how hard it is to find the magical combination of fiddling with it that will make it work. The microphones for alexa integration are hot garbage. It is just alexa and does not have any functionality for the tv or any apps and st...  Read More
