Review on ZVOX SB500 Soundbar With Accuvoice & Built-In Subwoofers For 50-80" TVs, Black Aluminum Home Theater Audio TV Speakers With Hearing Aid Technology And Six Levels Of Voice Boost by Boondo Viswanathan

Vast improvement over your standard downblast speakers integral to your TV. This unit replaced a troublesome and more costly JBL system with Bluetooth subwoofer. Although we do not consider ourselves 'bassheads', we had become used to the subwoofer. We tested this unit w/ and w/o a wired subwoofer and decided we liked the richness the subwoofer provided. If you are not replacing a unit like we were, odds are the bass will be adequate. We were after something that was easy to install and use and this fits the bill. This unit does have some depth to it, about 6-inches, so be mindful if you want to position below a TV on a stand. If you are wall mounting or suspending below a TV (we hung below a 75-incher on an articulating mount), its perfect.We also wanted a unit that was easy to use; it does not get much simpler than this. No fussing with ARC HDMI cables, multiple inputs/outputs and the like. Comes with a nice digital optical cable that plugs into your TV and away you go. Bluetooth works flawlessly. LED display built-in behind the cover tells you volume level, surround output (three choices), and whether AccuVoice and sound leveling are on or off. You can easily adjust these settings and bass/treble from the robust remote (not the little credit card thing others offer). Has nice, big buttons on the end of the unit for power & volume. If you are looking for a well-built unit (with or without wired subwoofer) that can easily fill a 20x20 vaulted space with clear sound and crisp dialogue, this unit is for you. Anyone hard of hearing or tired of commercials blasting you out of the room (us in both cases), look no further. Researched several manufacturers and websites; doubt you can find a better deal in this price range. Stop your research, pull the trigger, you won't regret it.
