Quality product, excellent sound, a few niggles.

I was fortunate to get this as "renewed" and it was basically brand new, open box. On to the device. Forst the remote hosts of "long" button pushes to do multiple functions. Its not clear and you probably won't remember what does what. I used to be more of an audio guy but with two kids now we just wanted something nice and simple. I barely mess with the remote anymore unless we are watching a surround movie. Otherwise volume.up and down is integrated via some magic and works with my TV remote. I have an LG OLED. The unit itself is a bit tall and I had to make a riser for my TV out of a piece of plywood and then painted it black, you can't see it but was annoying nonetheless. Had I got the LG soundbar I'm sure it is shorter to match their TV. Surround speakers work well. It provides a quality experience but I doubt it's a fully immersive Atmos experience as a true system would be. Again, for simplicity sake this fits the bill very well. It's a snap to undock the speakers and put them behind you. The Atmos setup worked just fine, though I don't know that I have the speakers in an ideal spot, again it works for us. Sound quality and bass are great, so clear and crisp, bass could be a bit more, you do have a subwoofer button on the remote which is nice. Some complain for lack of EQ....broken record here, it's SIMPLE, plug it in and enjoy. If you want whiz bang gizmos get something else. I looked between this and the bose 900 w/subwoofer. This was a few $$$ less. I dont know what I'm missing. Quality, solid product, great sound and bass, can shake my house when turned up over 20, provides an exceptional TV and movie experience for the whole family.

Fatal flaw...
By J&Love on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2022
So i loved this sound bar at first. The look is nice. The detachable rear speakers is something new, convinient and they dont sound bad. The volume is not as good as i have heard in others i have owned, which include a few Vizio sound bars. Top volume is not as good in my opnion. But the fatal flaw is the soundwoofer. Its wireless and disconnects ALL THE TIME. Imagine watching a movie and feeling the sound and then all of a sudden, you feel nothing and the sound is flat. Then you feel it again and then it goes off. Its non stop. Supposedly its because of interference. In this day and age where EVERYTHING is wireless, this should have been done better. When it goes off, it destroys the experience, the immersion in the movie or show, or even music. Its horrible. Im looking for another company that can produce something better. Dont recommend these at all.
