Pros and Cons

Pros2

You're not going to rattle the rafters with it. Sound clarity is very good, and that's what we needed for our old ears.

The s60a handily eclipses the denon 216, polk signa s2 and sony htx 8500. It's still not atmos, but it outperforms the sony 8500, which does support atmos. A great example of exemplary customer service.

Sonos allows ok google to interrupt arc signal interrupts google assistant playback. Wont pair with brand new samsung tv. When i ask alexa to play music from spotify, it says this device does not support spotify playback, and yet i can play music if i...  Read More

Used new batteries, tried taking batteries out of the handset, power off/on etc. Didn't work at all most of the time. It is especially annoying when you usually turn your computer on at 5 am for work and everyone in the house was sleeping.

It fails on the registration after spinning for 2 minutes. Everything inside had been opened and then tossed back in except the remote. Ended up having to pry the case to slide it off.

I am supremely underwhelmed at the sound quality. It has decent sound quality, but about 6 months into having it im already starting to hear some distortion. My biggest complaint though are the volume and bluetooth settings.

Polk magifi 2 soundbar has a subwoofer and a voice control that lets you customize the sound. Set up is easy with google home app.

Magnifi 2 sound bar with the sr2 wireless best decision to upgrade from the signa s2. The polk audio react sound bar and subwoofer is like bringing the movie theater to your living room - such a difference! The 3d function does a good job of simulatin...  Read More

This has a very good connectivity issues and at times it doesn't turn on. The tv always knows it's connected to the magnifi but tells me there is no data from the source whether i pick hdmi 1 (cable box) or 2 (roku) tried it on my brand new sony aj80 ...  Read More

Polk magnifi2 is a soundbar and wireless subwoofer package that looks impressive until you try to set it up. The speaker itself is barely better than the tv speaker.

Polk is not as advertised. It is garbage. Super dissapointed.

Amazon online help says i have to repackage everything and send it all back, what an inconvenience! Planning on selling the darn thing and buying something else.
