interesting sound profile, actually fairly neutral and gives great atmos effects
By EvilTechie on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2022
What an interesting set of soundbars and definitely worth the price if your goal is like mine, to expand into a surround system with wireless play-fi speakers that you can add on I'm pretty used to using soundbars from samsung with overly pronounced treble and bass but not much in between (very V shaped sound profile) but these are quite neutral in the way they sound which actually is pretty amazing when playing music on spotify I tested it on my LG OLED in the livingroom but ended up moving to my bedroom underneath an old panasonic plasma and found that the sound is huge, a lot louder than the panasonic tv, and fills my 300 sq ft master bedroom very well will be adding the play-fi surrounds soon and will come back to update this review in the meanwhile, here are some pluses and minuses: Pluses: 1. Sound profile is excellent, great for music, dialogue is sharp from the movies. Bass isnt too overpowering but there when needed Definitely no shortage of power here. I had to keep it mostly on volume 1 and up to 5, but no more than that! (out of 30) 2. Atmos height effects is pronounced and easily detectable when playing the right movies 3. HDMI CEC and eARC works well, using just one remote with the LG OLED, simplifying connections too 4. design fits well with decor, and the silver design isnt too drab, i think it fits well with most decor, not just mine 5. setting up the sub (connecting it to the soundbar wirelessly) and the soundbar is pretty straightforward there are actually tons of diagrams on the box, in the box, on the soundbar... to guide you through initial setup 6. the app offers quite a bit of control and it offered firmware update immediately 7. there is quite a bit of tuning available but through another app (the Philips Sound app will guide you to download the 2nd app called PS Fine Tune) 8. app is very usable, lots of adjustments and syncing with music streaming apps through google chromecast connectivity Minuses: 1. subwoofer is shaped a bit bulky but im sure they have their reason for that in order to produce that level of bass 2. while the remote control is nicely designed, it uses IR instead of RF or Bluetooth... oh well but it does allow to be used more universally with other remote controls such as chromecast's remote control not a big issue i suppose, especially with HDMI CEC, you'd be more likely to be using the TV's remote to control its volume anyways 3. cant wait to test the play-fi surrounds but still have to wait for it to go on sale (i wonder if it works well with Klipsch play-fi speakers?)

careful of return policy
By Edward L. Shogren on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2025
the speaker system sounds GREAT! the subwoofer is rather large so make sure you have space. if shipped from a 3rd party seller - it costs YOU $150 for to ship for return. so you keep it.
