Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It plays much louder than i expected and still delivers clean sound. Not quite loud enough to overpower the rain when watching a movie, but when streaming pandora or iheart, it has more than enough power.

The sub-woofer is really a powered woofer. It delivers good bass at satisfyingly loud levels.



Cons

The sound is very good, but it's not worth all of the hassle. Too loud. Then too soft. Audio makes some crazy chirping noise.

This soubdbar disconnects constantly. I have to unplug the optical cable and power cable and let it reset. It has inconsistent sound through the optical connection, as it will work for the previews on the netflix menus, but completely stops working du...  Read More

Price


I was able to get this at the black friday price of 150


This sound bar is a good deal at this price


Amazon offered me a 200 gift card to sign up for their credit card making this sound bar cost 100


I was lucky to get it on prime day for a discounted price

Shipping


The item arrived in a very timely fashion and in perfect condition


Set up was fast all needed cords included


If the shipper causes damage it is totally on them not polk

Packaging/appearance


Had to set this up for my family came in great packaging


I must admit i was pleasantly surprised with the unboxing and the sound the units provide


I have never purchase a product that was so professionally packaged


Everything needed for setup was in the box instructions were clear and setup was a snap

Competitiveness


I picked the polk because it was less expensive than the bose and it came with a subwoofer that has independent bass control


That being said the bose product that most directly competes with the polk sound bar is the bose tv speaker for around 200


I looked listened to sound systems by sony bose sonos samsung lg visio to name a few
