I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

The cords are included, they even put a paper drawing for marking, although there are only two screws there)) I hung it up, connected it via HDMI, turned down the bass from the remote control and that's it! I immediately became friends with both the TV and its remote control. I took it to the bedroom, so I didn’t make any special demands, in the hall I have ONKYO. Another good thing is that the subwoofer is wireless. I took a promotion for 13 sput with delivery, so I'm happy like an elephant))

Pros
  • Very easy and convenient installation, good sound
Cons
  • Completely fit my needs

The right product for me, the price suited me.

Some pros: Good sound for a small room with the ability to amplify and emphasize dialogue when watching TV. Got cons: There is no documentation on management and connection in 2022, for the elderly it is problematic, although intuitively everything is clear.

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

Bought after JBL 2.1 deep bass. It's not even worth comparing with JBL. There, instead of bass - porridge and music is impossible to listen to. Polk is not hi-fi of course , it is not annoying . The same bass is felt even in quiet mode. As the first bar is probably the best option. Some pros: The sound is very pleasant and balanced. Accentuated bass and detailed tuning. Movie voices can be amplified. Has cons: There is a delay when turning on the TV. From the optics, the sound on the TV remote…

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

Separately, I would like to note the presence of an AUX input, which allows you to connect almost any external device with a line output to the soundbar, for example, a DAC or an FM tuner. Has some pros Sound quality at a very affordable price, connecting via HDMI ARC allows you to turn on the soundbar along with the TV while watching TV and adjust the sound volume with the TV remote control, which undoubtedly increases ease of use. Cons below: The absence of full-fledged tone controls, only…

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

I have been using it for only a few days, I don’t consider myself a great specialist in sound quality, so there are no critical comments yet - a little later I will try to supplement my review. Connected to LG TV in just a few minutes using the optical cable from the kit. I really liked the ease of setup and control, night mode and modes that improve the quality of voice dubbing. Power per room of 20 sq. M. enough with a margin, although I did not find the exact technical characteristics, as…

Pros
  • Ease of connection Sound quality and volume Appearance, dimensions and equipment Optical cable included with a margin of length
Cons
  • Very flimsy remote in my opinion. There is no visual display of the volume level, there is no display and the lights do not display There are no instructions in 2022, although there are additional documents in 2022 that are not needed, however, everything is simple and clear anyway The power is not clear, I didn’t even find information on the manufacturer’s website, some stores write 160 W, and others 200 W

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

Until I turned off dolby digital encoding for this soundbar on the TV, the sound was like from a rusty barrel. I already thought that such darkness was caught. But no, this technique is trying to be smarter than me. Switched to pure PCM (anyway, this box does not support anything sensible, only a heavily compressed AC3 telecom) - it became just fine. Especially if you remove the bass a little, there are a little more of them than necessary.

Pros
  • Normal sound. Of course, it is strange to expect some kind of super peaks from a plastic box, but for a plastic box with a subwoofer, the sound is normal. Fairly well-detailed at the top, mid-range is also quite nice. There are no shortcomings for films at all - it booms when necessary, it plays nicely. Music has its own characteristics, but for this money - you can say that it is not. I paired with the [Sony] TV without hesitation, I found the sub myself without prompting.
Cons
  • Sometimes a lot of bass. Equalizers are zero everywhere, so the sparkle setting is a bit bassy, ​​not beats of course, but the bass is more than necessary, you have to turn it down.
