Great value for money, good sound, great functionality!

This is my second attempt at getting a soundbar for my TV and it works great. My first try was Bestisan's 40-inch soundbar, and while it sounded amazing, the functionality wasn't there. There was no way to change the sound, so I couldn't control the sound with the TV remote. This Wohome has the functionality I was looking for. Super easy to set up with the HDMI Arc so I can control the volume on the soundbars with my TV remote. If my LG TV's Simple Link feature is enabled, the soundbar turns off when I turn off the TV and turns on again when I turn on the TV. Very easy and fast Bluetooth connection to play music from mobile phones or smart devices like Alexa. My Alexa will automatically connect to Bluetooth within a few seconds of selecting the Bluetooth setting on the soundbar. I have no issues with audio lag, which is most likely due to the soundbar's DSP technology. And the most amazing thing about this thing, which many others don't have, is the digital display that appears in the middle of the soundbar! central! oes from zero to 30 so consider watching tv. I bet like most people you have a certain level that you set it to. A number that isn't too loud, but not too quiet either when you miss something and need to rewind. Many soundbars don't have this and it's a complete guessing game. It is also nice that the display turns off and disappears after a short time. Unfortunately, at least on my TV, it doesn't reappear after turning off the display when I change the volume with the TV remote. To pull it out again and watch it again, you need to click the wohome remote control once, then it will appear with the TV remote control. In terms of sound quality, it is a step ahead of 20-watt TVs. It won't shake your walls or deliver jaw-dropping bass, but it does add a depth to programming you wouldn't otherwise get with factory TV speakers. Especially movies where the extra bass and low frequencies make a huge difference! Ironically, I can hear programs at seemingly lower volumes better than TV speakers, where I would have to turn them up louder to hear the words, and I could even take them outside where I could hear every word spoken through the walls. Since it doesn't have all that fancy Dolby Digital and Atmos crap, I have NO problem with it not working with Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon videos. All the reviews you've read where people have complained about this problem is because people don't realize that their soundbars aren't compatible with this technology, and they also don't know that they need these audio settings when streaming disable apps they use from receiving sound through the soundbar. I was also impressed by the user manual. It actually looked like the correct instructions you would receive if you bought the product from a real store. It was free of misspellings and phrasing that made no sense and was confusing no matter how many times you re-read it. My first soundbar was Bestisan and the management looked like they had let the admin go the extra mile with translation software and a word processor they had never used before and shipped the products without anyone - anyone who spoke or read English could, looked at it. . Not this Wohome Soundbar, and congratulations to Wohome for not embarrassing your company. Wohome actually has a legitimate secure website and not only sells products through Amazon. What I would have liked from this soundbar but what is missing is an adjustable bass and treble feature. The music settings are the same as the movie settings, the only difference is the music setting: 3D is off, but in the movie 3D is on. In the dialogue there is no bass at all, it is completely flat and linear. But even soundbars with adjustable sound settings don't have memory, you can type as much as you want without a display, and as soon as you turn it off you lose it and go back to the defaults. You need a legitimate product that will work properly for your TV soundbar and give you a boost for programs you would miss without it, this soundbar is perfect for you.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
