This isn’t a soundbar for audiophiles or if you want amazing bass and surround sound. But it’s a decent practical upgrade to TV inbuilt speakers. It’s easy to set up and I also use it as a Bluetooth speaker for music from my phone. I think it’s pretty well-made.
Have installed one of these before so when my daughter needed one I had no hestitation in going for this model. As expected it was easy to install and set up. The sound quality is nice and we especially love the visual feedback from the “hidden” LCD display in the front, which is hidden except when making changes to volume etc.
We have it hooked up to the TV using the HDMI ARC port which is working flawlessley with the LG TV.
The bass, without having a sub-woofer is not brilliant but adequate for TV listening. If you intend using the sound bar for listening to music you may be better off getting a JBL soundbar with a sub-woofer.
Good value for money, setup was easy and a great addition to the spare room where the grandkids can watch TV or play on a game station with good sound.
The coupling instructions could have been easier, I had to get help from a friend to install it to my not so new TV, but happy with end result. Sound it good.
Just a shame you have to press the volume up / down buttons multiple times to adjust the sound, you can’t just continuously press on the volume control to do this
