Anon: After trying 7 other cheaper systems I landed on this one. None of the other had audio sync and so they had major latency issues. So disappointing. That used to be a standard feature. I think this is a great system sound wise, lots of bass and the ability to adjust it so your neighbours won’t hate you, but over priced. This should be what the $300 ones are. I liked their cheaper unit too but no audio sync. The remote also only seems to have about a 10ft range which is ridiculous. I can turn it up and then run it from the devices I’m running through it but I shouldn’t have to.

Mark: The only issue I have is that it is often hard to switch to HDMI1 as the front display is flashing when it hits the ARC input and seems to "get lost" and jumps immediately to HDMI2.
Other than that I am extremely happy with it.

DRM: Decent sound. Nice interface to TV system through HDMI. Deeeep bass is a WOW. Mickey Mouse remote, but that’s OK because I never need it and it lives in a drawer. Other reviews mention the midrange is a bit harsh and I agree. All in all, very satisfied and would recommend.

Andy: Price drop to $230. Bought 2 more that makes 4. Got them for all three of my daughters. Great bar.A day later it was $390. They were clearing stock then raising price to get people to buy the 5.1. The 3.1 is great. Sure 5.1 is probably improved but no justified for the price I got. If they ever ship.

I love this system. Got it about a week ago and everything works as advertised. Love the center channel. This is an undervalued feature that makes all the difference in clear speech during movies. I have a 12” JBL downfiring sub on another system and if anyone thinks the 10” is unable to perform I can assure you that size of speaker does not correspond to fidelity as speaker parameters do. Size refers to volume not speaker rolloff. Bluetooth is flawless, HDMIARC works for my relatively new TV but from my internet study, with the onboard HDMIs one should be able to get the full signal if you have a optical on your tv for all components including center for all your components. All I had to do was plug in the ARC and leave all the components hooked to tv for my 4K.

So why title of this review. Well, I bought mine for $299 as used like new! I suspected this meant open...

TypicalRhino14: Here's what you need to know: I'm an audiophile basshead. I have two home theaters, one of which is worth about 6-7,000$ and the other is worth about $2500. I have powered them through thick, 18 gauge wire, top of the line equipment, and have had it professionally installed. I have had six subwoofers in one room because I love low end. I've heard Klipsch speakers, Polks, Sony, JBL, and probably ten more companies. I've heard speakers that are in the thousands for one tower.

I'm leaving them for this beautiful little soundbar.

Yeah. It's THAT amazing. I read the reviews and I thought, "nah, no way it'll beat out a real surround sound setup." I was planning to have it off in a side room somewhere. Ladies and gentlemen, I was wrong. It's phenomenal. I'm literally putting my surround sound setup in another room and using this little fella as my main setup. Why? Here's why:

The sound bar itself is startlingly small, but it puts out whopping sound. Currently, as I'm writing this, I'm feeling my desk vibrate from it and it isn't even on the desk I'm using. But, as any audiophile will tell you, there's a huge difference in being loud verses putting sound you actually...
