great speaker with optical input
great sounding speaker. more than enough volume to watch movies. I am sure hat it will be super loud at 40 watts, but I have not needed to turn it up full blast so I cannot comment on how loud it goes, but it is more than enough for me. I needed optical input and it works well. I like that the speakers can be used as pair that stands vertically or as a bar. I planned on using the speakers as a pair, but I ended up connecting them as a bar in the end. I am glad that I had the flexibility with two options

Decent sound bar but only average sound
While this sound bar does sound a bit better than my TV speaker, I can't say it sounds $100 better. I expected a 'richer' sound from this. It does sound OK, but I'm somewhat disappointed that it's not better. If your TV sounds 'tinny' or 'hollow', this would make it sound much better. However, if your TV sounds decent, don't expect this to improve the sound much. It does improve the sound, just not as much as I hoped it would.Now, the 'negative' aside, some 'positive' ... This was very easy to assemble and connect. Sound volume is decent and fills my smallish living room well. The remote is responsive and easy to use. Also, the speaker bar can be wall mounted as a horizontal bar (I mounted it that way) or as two vertical bars or even as two self-standing 'speakers'. My only complaint about mounting as a horizontal bar is that no screws template was supplied, Would have made measuring and installing the mounting screws easier.Overall, I'm satisfied with this - not impressed, but satisfied. Would recommend if your TV has poor sound and you want better sound on a budget.

poor sound quality, doesn't add much to my existing TV's sound
Pros: nice looking; decently constructedCons: stubborn remote control buttons;weak volume: my TV can produce much louder sound than this soundbar, which has a maximum setting of 30;poor sound quality: I surveyed 4 people. All 4 had difficulty choosing whether the sound from the TV was superior, inferior or of the same quality as the sound from this soundbar. One preferred the TV's sound, the other 3 mildly preferred the soundbar.Conclusion: If you have a modern TV with respectable sound, this soundbar will add little to your experience. I returned it and will now look for a more expensive soundbar.

What does everyone expect?
This was the most inexpensive soundbar I could find.My TV has bottom fired speakers that sound awful. Most noticeable is the muted middle-upper frequencies, where speech is predominant.These speakers do a fine job of giving a noticeable increase in bass, vs my TV, and bring out the high frequencies, so I can easily hear and understand the speech.There's no subwoofer, so why would anyone expect spectacular sound from this unit? Knowing it's well under a hundred dollars, I'm realistic enough to know these should only be mediocre in sound quality. For the price, they do exactly what I expected. They make the sound louder, with a better frequency response than my TV speakers.Consumers that expect something sounding great need to spend $200 and up.I'm happy with my purchase.

Don't do it!
Brutal.Bought these for the bluetooth to go bedside. We liked that they split in two, one for each side. Bluetooth lacks and there is a lag to what they say on TV to what you hear ( only about 6 feet distance). When the TV or speakers turn off, there is a chime at about 10,000 decibals that wakes the dead. So, we decided to put them under the TV and use the optical wire. It doesn't work alone in optical even though its a brand new TV. It acts as additional speakers to the TV, but, you can't control them with the TV remote. Returning immediately and not cheaping out next time around.
