" ...  AWESOME AWESOME SOUND BAR!  ...  "
comment
" ...  My wife wanted better sound when using the TV for karaoke singing and this has made a big improvement to the sound quality.  ...  "
comment
" ...  This one had the exact sound I was looking for. ... I kind of tweaked the EQ a bit until I basically found the sound that I like. ... Once I found my sound sweetspot, it pretty much stays there the whole time, just having to switch between “music” (for dvd concerts, wifi music streaming, cd’s, etc.) ... Everything is sounding and working as I would expect it in a best case scenario, so I am pretty happy about my purchase and would definitely recommend this product. ... This unit is replacing an old 300W LG 5.1 home theater system, which sounds pretty awesome and is itself a very nice sound unit. ... But I really wanted to finally explore the whole Bluetooth media streaming thing, without having to sacrifice sound quality and this unit pretty much does it in an excellent way.  ...  "

" ...  For what it is, a small sound bar with a wireless subwoofer, its a wonderful product. ... Sound is good (not great) for the price, there's plenty of adjustments to be made and the Bluetooth is nice.  ...  "

" ...  After exploring it, I pretty much appreciated the difference between the “sub” and the “bass” controls, once I heard the difference of what each one does.  ...  "

comment
" ...  This gives you great control over bass, treble and sub so you can really tune it to your likes. ... The sub connects to the sound bar automatically, which is a surprisingly full bass producing unit.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Great sound bar - my only complaint is that the bass and volume booms at even the low levels.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The sub woofer adds a lot of depth to the sound.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The sub-woofer is quite small but packs a punch.  ...  "
comment
" ...  This VIZIO SB2821-D6 is the one, has base control plus many other features and the separate woofer which is really a base speaker like it should be, now I really get the true sounds not artificial sounds and music sounds fantastic.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I set it up in my home office with the sub-woofer about 8' behind the sound bad and it sounds really crisp and clear.  ...  "

" ...  I'll use that one for another room. ... I have it in the corner of a 14X14 foot room, which is about 12 feet away from the TV, and the sound it provides is rich. ... If you have a moderate bedroom/living room size like mine, this unit will be sufficient and improve your TV viewing experience.  ...  "

" ...  It plays well for TV, movies, but I mainly bought it to play my Amazon music and use of the remote control to adjust the sound.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I find the remote control easy to use, I’m not sure why others have complained about it.  ...  "
comment
" ...  This is the sound bar if you want to use it mainly for TV you can use your Comcast remote to control volume and turn off along with your TV.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The sound bar does come with a remote, which is an absolute necessity no matter which sound bar you order. ... With the sub-woofer is turned on, located in the right area, and adjusted with the remote, you should be very happy with the results.  ...  "

" ...  The first code offered on my Xfinity remote worked.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Sound is very nice Even though the remote has only 3 sound settings (voice, standard, and cinema), all three sound great. ... The best thing is that the sound bar responded to my Comcast tv remote and turns on/off and up/down with that. ... I bought my son-in-law the Vizio sound bar he wanted and his only works with the sound bar remote .  ...  "
comment
" ...  It is a five star product by itself, but I took away one star only because I could not get my comcast remote programmed to use it. ... Either have to buy a Harmony remote or use two remotes (one for sound control and the other for tv, cable, etc.  ...  "
