Pros and Cons

Pros4

For a smaller subwoofer, this thing pumps out some serious bass. It's punchy, but not deep. Subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room. Only complaint is sometimes the sub can drown out the speaker.

The sound is certainly an upgrade from the regular tv speakers. I keep mine in surround mode for movies and most tv shows. Many people are satisfied with the speakers in their tv, and they won't be looking here.

Once in use, the sound is phenomenal. Clear and crisp. The sound is really good for a smaller setup.

With the advances and advantages of bluetooth, long gone are the days of large cluttered component systems. I own a few newer sony tvs with the bluetooth using a2dp. I have it connected to my benq ht 3550 projector that doesn't have the arc hdmi.

Cons2

Sony tv (sony) defaults to tv speakers. If connected using earc, it turns off your tv too. Not enough input connections.

Speaker quality is horrible. Tinny sounding all the way through. Subwoofer is just like the cardboard, light as the air around it and just as nonexistent as my lovelife. Soundbar arrived bent with a couple of caved in spots.

My old speaker setup was purchased long ago at $300 - $350 refurbished. Perfect for a smaller apartment or bedroom. Would highly recommend this product. Bought the 36 2.

Samsung's soundbar works with the tcl tv's hdmi arc jack. You can also use the soundbar with an echo dot or google home mini. The rear speakers have pretty long wires so positioning them shouldn't be any issue in an average sized room. The soundbar ca...  Read More

Set up is easy, works through samsung hdmi-arc and has quite a few very nice options. Not a real deal breaker for the price. Simpler to install too. Easy and quick setup.

Cons3

Subwoofer sound is very distorted - enough so that i often use the system with sub disconnected (unplugged) mute on remote only mutes soundbar; not tv speakers. No numeric values for volume/eq.

"it's in the garbage now where it belongs. Not worth the money.

All settings is through a little remote, hard to gage. Manual itself is useless for troubleshooting too.
