Review on πŸ”Š Furrion Aurora 2.1 Channel Outdoor Soundbar: 70W, Wireless Bluetooth, IP45 Weatherproof, Waterproof Remote - FSBNN3MSR-BL by Darrell Beecher

Revainrating 3 out of 5

No connection to TV or external remote control. With the included remote control, you're stuck setting up

Good things first. The sound quality is good. For a $200 soundbar, this is on par; good but not amazing. I definitely got what I paid for. It is also easy to install and connect to Furrion Outdoor TV. We have a ceiling TV and it took about 2 minutes to install. It looks good, although I would have preferred it to be closer/closer to the TV than the 2" space between the panel and the TV. The remote control is waterproof (so they claim), which will come in handy since we have no choice but to use it. where this company really misses the mark. The TV and speakers are from the same company and are designed to work together. So explain to me why it's so crazy to expect a TV remote to not also control the soundbar. HORRIBLE design and definitely a reflection of the company's inability to listen to customer needs. Second, we used coaxial to connect to the TV. I've tried several times to get Bluetooth to work but it didn't work. It wasn't a big deal with my ceiling mount, but if you have a wall mount brace yourself for some trouble. Finally there is power. Today's televisions are very lacking in sound. A soundbar is almost a must. So why not add an AC plug to your TV, so you only have to connect the panel to your TV. Instead, I had to remove the TV from the ceiling to run a new power line through the ceiling mount. All in all, if you know what you're getting into and want the hassle, the Furrion's TV compatibility makes this a worthwhile buy. . But be willing to admit how little attention this company has paid to customer service. So many little things that could easily make this a 5 star rating.
