Pros and Cons

Pros5

It has great sound, it comes on instantly with the tv remote control and it included a nice hdmi cable to hook it up. The center speaker does a good job at separating the dialogue and making it easier to hear. You are also able to connect to your phon...  Read More

The good is it's slim, really surprised how slim it was. The material is not too dust attractive so it makes it a lot easier to clean from dust which is a plus for me. The case and grill are metal and look as though they can be easily removed and spra...  Read More

This is one of the very few soundbars that uses a hdmi mini connector. Comes with a cable with hdmi mini side that plugs in to the soundbar and the other side has a full hdmi connector. Box >bluetooth> soundbar + box works fine.

The design of the sound bar is very sleek but the bright color is a bit easy to notice dirt and yellowing. It is not too heavy and it does provide your with the mounting screws. I would've preferred the bar to be a little bit wider for better sound di...  Read More

The remote control is really nice and simple. The instructions are not great, but it's simple enough to understand that many people wouldn't even need instructions at all. Very easy setup, just plug in and play.

Cons2

Only operated through remote for 2 months. Unfortunately, that only solves it for the current view session. Voice assistant is worthless. Audio sync sometimes has a delay between the lips moving and the sound.

The soundbar randomly says 'network disconnected' a lot recently. It drops its wifi connection whenever the unit sleeps or powers off. Can’t connect to alexa without first downloading the app. It also seems to go offline from samsung things app.

Pros4

This actually shakes the floor and the speakers are really darn good. At this price it's a no brainer for a good upgrade.

If anyone is looking for a tv speaker this is a thumbs up by me. Great sound without spending a ton of money. Absolutely no regrets.

Maybe the guest bedroom, garage or bathroom tv, heck yea. The bass is deep & rich (similar to what you'd hear from basic subwoofers in a car) it fills my work room easily with music.

The sound is loud and clear and the instructions given where easy to follow. Lightweight and very easy to put together. Easy to install and great audio quality.

Cons2

The sound bar volume is much lower then expected and the sub has very little sound zero bass. This is the 2nd sub woofer/ sound bar i received.

Amazon says soundbar is not compatible with my onn roku tv. Can't support the remote with a roku smart tv. Returned for refund, bought a vizio soundbar.
