Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

June 2020: still functioning perfectly. I think once or twice I’ve had to unplug the subwoofer to get it work again. Very rare occurrence. The remote can be slightly difficult to get to work (needs the right angle) but I almost never have to use it because the TV controls it. Great sound bar, 100% recommend. December 2019 update: still working great. Original 2018: I got this speaker a couple weeks ago and it's been working great so far (November 2018). I plugged in both the HDMI ARC cable and the optical cable, per the instructions and it started working after I turned the TV off and then on. It turns on instantly along with my TV when I press the Apple TV remote. The volume changes through my TV remote (or Apple Remote). There are three different buttons for levels of voice clarity, but I haven't had to use it at all which is a huge plus. The bluetooth syncing works very easily, again a problem that many other sound bars have. There is no Alexa integration, but that probably helps keep the price low (no mics or networking hardware, a plus in my opinion). The wireless subwoofer has totally satisfactory sound for a semi-large living room, and was completely plug-and-play. I just plugged it in behind the couch and it works perfectly, no syncing needed. This model also doesn't have any problems that affected the last generation (namely turning off after 30 seconds if no audio input), which is great. The price is fair, and it mounted to the bottom of my TV easily. I was not able to figure out what the two "spacers" are that were included in the package. The instructions didn't seem to say what they are.
