Never buy this product.

You MUST listen before buying. All questions will disappear after 2 minutes of listening. If you only bang modern youth music through a Bluetooth-connected phone - take it and get your neighbors after 5 minutes. If you are going to watch movies or TV channels - I strongly do not recommend it. You have to listen to any dialogue and turning up the volume level will only enhance the low frequencies. Or make the right choice and take it back to the store - like me - and buy a Sony HT-S350. Here, Sonya already has both high and medium frequencies well developed, the subwoofer comes into play when necessary and very delicately, the rest of the time it only maintains the lack of low frequencies at the soundbar stick itself, and I’m not talking about software sound settings - Sonya has a lot of them with autoselect mode.

Pros
  • Compact (relative to other rectangular shape) subwoofer, the system quickly picks up the presence / absence of a signal via SPDIF (optics) - it turns on / off itself. Sooo powerful bass, which is also the "curse" of this system.
Cons
  • Sound, sound and more sound. There are no high and medium frequencies in principle. Bass drowns out absolutely the entire sound picture. The sound track, and the center channel in particular, sounds like a 5-meter pipe. Bass booms when it is necessary and not necessary and cannot be adjusted normally - there are only three levels of its power, even at the lowest level the subwoofer still dampens the soundbar, but it no longer breaks through several floors)). Without a subwoofer (if you turn it off) - the soundbar itself plays like mediocre TV speakers of 10 watts, no more. There is essentially only one sound setting - three subwoofer sound power levels and that's it!
