    God value, good sound
    Happy with it. Bluetooth pairing of subwoofer and bar was a bit fiddly, but works fine. Optical connection works well. Can’t connect to Samsung TV by HDMI arc but that is a Samsung problem – which Samsung denies.

    Cheap but cheerful
    Its cheap soundbar that is very light so don’t believe the power output of it because it’s no more than 10w at best. It’s simple to setup via Bluetooth as it only has one hdmi in and optical bit with optical you can get sync problems. I will probably buy another soundbar as this one just isn’t very good and use it ony pc instead. If you want something cheap this will be ok but if your reading it and think it’s going to be 40w it just isn’t. Spend a little more and get something that will sound bette

    Empfehlenswert im zweistelligen Preisbereich
    Positiv
    + Optische wertiges Design und Verarbeitung. Hochglanz ist allerdings recht staubempfindlich.
    + Fr ca. 70 EUR ok.
    + Aufbau super
    + Ton recht gut, in jedem Fall besser als der Fernseher
    + Einfache Bluetooth Verbindung mit Subwoofer

    Negativ
    – Batteriefach geht etwas schwer auf
    – Bild sieht eher silber aus, defacto ist die Anlage eher schwarz
    – Anschalten dauert sehr lange

    La verdad no puedo estar mas contento he ganado calidad de sonido a raudales, escucho graves y sonidos que ni sabia que estaban, se enciende y apaga solo con la tele al igual que puedes subir volumen con el mismo mando de la tele aunque esta sea de otra marca (gracias al HDMI-ARC) el bluetooth funciona a la perfeccin y la potencia es mas que suficiente apunto de molestar seriamente a los vecinos… jajajaj
    Mil gracias amazon por vuestros productos warehouse solo me falla no poder pagar con Paypal

    Preis Leistung in Ordnung
    Hab die Soundbar getestet und dann wieder retourniert, weil wir doch was anderes wollten.

    Die Bar ist schnell angeschlossen und der Woofer verbindet sich ohne Probleme. Die Wertigkeit und haptik ist fr den Preis in Ordnung. Auch die Tonqualitt kann sich um diesen Preis (Angebot unter 100) sehen lassen. Fr niedrige bis mittelhohe Ansprche ist das bestimmt ausreichend und allemal deutlich besser und lauter als die Lautsprecher im TV-Gert.

    Wir haben dann um 150 was strkeres gekauft, das wir auch direkt mit der Fernbedienung des TVs ansteuern knnen (hier gehts nur mit extra Fernbedienung von der Soundbar), ich kann dieses System aber durchaus empfehlen wenn die Ansprche, wie schon erwhnt, im unteren bis mittleren Niveau liegen.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAmazing value
    This doesn’t come with Dolby or DTS certification, but for 75 this is a great upgrade to TV speakers. You will need to purchase a cable to connect to your TV as one isn’t provided. If your TV has an HDMI port with ARC or eARC labeled against it then connect to that, otherwise connect via an optical cable, neither option should set you back much more than 5. The room that this is in is about 5m square and it fills it comfortably. The sound quality is decent, but you would have to spend more than double for something better really. I wasn’t expecting much from the tiny base unit, but it’s perfect for deep rumbles and just adds something that your TV will never be able to compete with. There is no screen to indicate what is going on, so there’s a learning curve to the flashing coloured LED indicator (keep the manual handy). EQ: Movie mode, News mode (for dialogue), Music mode and Custom mode… all are distinct enough and fit for purpose.

    Overall, this product will elevate your movie watching experience and offer you a another way to Bluetooth your music/podcasts.

    If you experience lag between people speaking and the audio you hear, try turning off any ‘special audio’ features from your TV settings and let the soundbar do the computing work.

    Excellent product for the price
    Been using this now for almost an year now. The main speaker is connected to my TV via an Optical cable. The subwoofer unit is placed at least 11-12 feet away diagonally from the speaker and connects-pairs-works excellently over Bluetooth. Subwoofer unit also requires a separate power source.

    Downside of the soundbar- ‘Apparently’ when connected via Optical cable it doesn’t augment the TV’s own volume rather has a slight lag, so gives a very bad echo effect. Resultantly, we have to mute the TV vol. when using this soundbar (which we do only when watching movies or music-vids.).
    I didn’t connect this one with an HDMI cable, but feel it might work in sync with the TV’s own speaker vol.

    Achtung: Kein HDMI – Kabel und Kein Audiokabel dabei. Sonst ist alles super. Der Ton ist der Hammer. Auch das anschlieen war sehr leicht. Ich fhle mich wie im Kino. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen. Es muss nicht immer teuer sein. Der Preis ist in Ordnung.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersFacilidad
    Me ha gustado su fcil instalacin por HDMI-ARC. La calidad de sonido respecto a los altavoces internos de la TV, es de una ganancia abismal. He mejorado muchsimo. El altavoz de graves se conecta automticamente. Es elegante colocado al pie de la TV. Puedes cambiar la fuente de sonido en cualquier momento.
    No me gusta el tiempo que tarda en activar el sonido, con el mando de la TV (LG Smart) es lento aumentar el volumen.
    En cuanto a la potencia (Watios) observarn que la caja dice 160W, pero no son RMS, que es lo que deberan poner. No es problema del fabricante,que lo dice claramente: el frontal 10×2 W, y el de graves 40W RMS. Poner 160W si no es RMS, es engaoso. RMS es el sonido aceptable sin distorsion.
    En cuanto a los accesorios, es lamentable que no se entregue con los cables de sonido necesarios, sera un plus para la marca! De pena NI HDMI, ni ptico ni nada de nada. As que, si lo recibes y deseas probarlo, antes prepara los cables. En este aspecto una estrella.
    Con el mando, pequeo, controlas los graves, agudos, volumen, fuente y pasar a la siguiente escena de una pelcula, o cancin si la fuente es un DVD.
    La relacin calidad precio es excelente, sin grandes pretensiones, aunque aconsejo los graves, son buenos, y una pelcula de accin se agradece.

    Easy to set up and definitely makes a difference from your tv scree
    I wanted to improve the quality of my sound without having to invest silly prices. This soundbar definitely does the trick. It’s easy to set up. Bear in mind that it doesn’t come with either hdmi and/or optical wire so you will need one (I already knew it and had optical).
    The soundbar is not huge in size but the sound quality out from it is pretty decent. The wireless subwoofer is really straightforward to set up, don’t expect a massive sound from it though.
    Bluetooth functionality is also easy to set up and hook up with different devices.
    If you are looking for something to improve your audio/sound from tv in a small space, definitely worth the investment and you won’t be disappointed.

    Great sound, remote not very good
    Once both bar and subwoofer are connected, the sound is excellent. The remote volume control is a bit hit and miss. Not very responsive at times.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersBuena barra de sonido si la consigues a precio económico
    Compre la versin con el subwoofer inhalambrico por el juego que da ponerlo donde t quieras. La calidad del sonido es bastante buena (comparada con tv Samsung 2017). Es mi primera barra de sonido por lo que no tengo otra referencia . Lo nico que no me ha gustado es que poda incluir alguna pantalla o algo para indicarte el nivel de volumen en el que ests, ya que terminas subindolo o bajndolo a ciegas sin ninguna referencia

    It's good
    Having a subwoofer in addition to the sound bar itself makes a large difference. The sound it very clear and crisp, and I feel like all pitches are covered well. Having a loose subwoofer also really helps with placement. This will destroy your TV’s speakers! Just don’t forget to buy your own input cable (I went with an optical cable myself), as this will always sound better than Bluetooth, although of course the Bluetooth does sound good too.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersImproves TV sound at a reasonable price
    As other reviewers mentioned, irritatingly, the unit is not supplied with connecting leads so as Amazon recommended an optical lead I purchase this at the same time. After some considerable frustration I found that an HDMI cable was needed to connect to my TV, and not the optical cable. I have returned the optical cable and it now all works well.
    Although the sub-woofer is connected to the TV via Bluetooth, the unit still needs to be connected to a mains power supply, so it is not strictly wireless.
    The sound bar fits neatly under my Samsung 43″ Smart TV.
    The remote control is a bit fiddly but basic controls operate via the TV remote, so it is only needed to set the various equalizer settings.
    Overall I am very happy with the SHARP HT-SBW182 soundbar.

    Very good for listening to music from phone or laptop. Sound is a lot better and effects are enhanced. However, Sound from TV is not so good as the dialogues are a bit suppressed.

    Great little things. Perfect sounds upgrade
    If you are looking to upgrade your TV sound this is just good. If you place the subwoofer away from TV you might feel a cinema experience however don’t expect the subwoofer to be the loadest because of the size but it is good enough to enjoy a movie and no to make angry your neighbors with noise.

    What I did not like was that my unit come without any sound cables. For this price Shark should include at least a HDMI cable to make people happy and ready to go . luckily I had one and I was able to mount the unit but I was very disappointed it didn’t came with one.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersIt gets the job done
    Sound is decent ( not as good as my sonos one ) but good enough to replace bad tv speakers. If I was going to buy again I would have gotten something a little more expensive for better sound quality. Was disappointed when the bass on my Sonos one was much better than the sound bar with a dedicated sub woofer.

    Easy to set up from the box! Connects to the sub without any wires, comes with no hdmi cable (not a problem I bought one separately) but can connect to your tv via bluetooth. Sounds clear coming through the speakers and you can feel the base that comes through the sub, would highly recommend.

    Golden Review Award: 27 From Our UsersFunciona perfecto pero...
    El funcionamiento de la barra es muy bueno y pese a que compr la de menor potencia es suficiente si, como yo no eres muy exigente. No le doy las cinco estrellas porque en mi smartTV Samsung cuando activaba alguna de las apps de streaming como Netflix o Plex la barra no sacaba sonido, motivo por el cual la devolv. Para el resto de usos est muy bien.

    PD. Puede que se hubiera solucionado conectndola por cable ptico en lugar de HDMI, pero en ese caso se pierde la funcionalidad del ARC (utilizar el mando de la TV para controlar el sonido) por lo que ya no me supona una gran ventaja sobre un sistema de Home Cinema tradicional.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersSuperb sound but remote design lets it dow
    Nothing to dislike with this. Use an optical audio cable. Plug n Pair and it’s done.
    The sub woofer is the major player here. Whether you get this one or not, a sub woofer is a must.

    Update: Reduced to 4 stars. The remote control for some obscure reason has sloped base which is curved at the battery housing so much so, that picking it up off the floor after its rolled off the table/tv stand is a common occurrence. The i/O button is also too close to the pairing button causing unwanted pairing on occasion. Working wise its as described above.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersGreat value and good sound.
    This sounds great. Star wars, a New Hope is good test of the sub woofer. It rumbles a lot when the first Imperial cruiser passes over at the start. It sits behind the sofa easily because there are no speaker cables to worry about. Remote is good too but I’m using ARC so my TV remote controls it instead. It goes off when I switch the TV off and on again when the TV is turned on. For under 100, you can’t go wrong IMO. I would buy it again, put it that way.

    It is what it is, decent sound for the price….not going to bring joy to not picky audiophiles, but as a replacement for the TV’s basic sound, it’s great.
    Easy to install, plenty of connection choices, and unlike most in this price point, decent remote with adjustable bass and treble.
    Set up is straight out of the box easy.
