Sharp HT-SB603 Sound Bar (2016 Model)

I purchased the sound bar to go with my 60" Sharp Aquos TV. It was very easy to connect and the sound is amazing. The wireless subwoofer works fantastic also. I'm very happy with my purchase and recommend this sound bar.

After a day of figuring out ARC eveything actually is actually pretty good. Out the box it does have some weird glitches and bas connectivity with switching inputs and especially the remote losing connextion. The sound is actually great now, it's not the best crisp sound on the market but reasonable for its price. The bass is ok, at high volumes it gets distorted a bit if you have it on max bass and sub settings, of course, don't put it on the max settings. So, quality isnt the top notch but it is loud. It is a weird system thouh, listening to a mobile device with bluetooth you can literally turn your house to a club, it gets so loud I cant even put it above medium settings, fantastic! But when it is connected to the tv by any connection the quality hets much lower and the the bolume is a bit faint like I stated before. But still sounds fine. Another problem is that I still hopef I can be able to control the volum by tv remote; I hate using so many different remotes. But a new problem I encountered is the sub rattles, mot sure if its some screws loose inside but it came like that either way, which is mostly why I still give it 3 stars, if it wasnt for that it would of been 4.Update:After 5-6 months there is pretty much a new problem everyday. When it 100% works the system ia actually aounds very well. Only time you can expect it to work perfectly is connectjnf a mobile device to it on bluetooth. You would think the best way to connect a sharp sound system to a sharp smart tv through HDMI ARC which should give it easy access to AQUOS link but it only works when it wants to. It will shut on/off with the tv most of the time but the the rest of AQUOS link features do not work most of the time at all, if anything, it’s very rare. Most of the the time the link features do not work so i’m stuck with the world’s crappiest remote that the system comes with. It dissconnects to the speaker almost most of the time and the only way to recoonect it is by taking the batteries out then it will recconect. I really wish the link would work so I can stick to using the tv remote to raise the volume. Now for the quality of speaker, again, it actually sounds really good, but many, many, too many damn times it gets moody and for some reason voices are faint but the music/soundeffects are wayyy louder. If it’s not that then sometimes the sound is equally faint altogether and you would have to raise the volume up to 100 to get it to an at least decent volume. I’m starting to think it rarely has any good days where it works 100% the way it was built to. I would’nt recommend this product at all, uncovieniently cheap and unusable and most of the time does not reach any home theatre experience.

One of the only options when looking at wide soundbars for large televisions. Mine is connected with an optical cable and turns on automatically when TV is on which is nice. Problem is that occasionally when I change channels or change apps on my Roku the sound cuts out and the unit won't respond to the remote. At that point I have to physically unplug the unit and plug it back in and it will generally restore the sound. Kind of annoying. Sharp customer support is ZERO help and just tries to pass you along to either your television manufacturer, cable provider or streaming device manufacturer. Typical pass the buck type of service people have unfortunately become accustomed to in this day and age. Contemplating returning it as to not deal with the not-so-infrequent loss of sound. The sound quality of the unit is good, no complaints. When reading reviews of the SB-602 this appears to be a not uncommon issue with these soundbars.

This is a really nice sound bar and works great for my 55” tv. I wanted a sound bar that stretched the length of the tv so it wouldn’t look minuscule compared to the tv. It comes with wall mounting brackets that work wonderfully. The only downside is the sub doesn’t have as much bass as I would prefer.

I had bought a 65" Sharp TV and wanted to buy this then, but I had a feeling it would go down in price. I'm glad I waited saved some $$$ and have a great sounding system. Easy to set up plus it was made to be used with this TV

Please, read this review until the end.I bought this sound bar in Dec as a Christmas gift for my nephew. I thought I was buying a Sharp product as is advertised, but it is actually a product of a company called Hisense. Thus goes our story...The device never performed well. Symptoms were: difficulty connecting, sound going out, reverting to eco-mode. Finally, my nephew disconnected it from the TV and only used the Bluetooth feature for playing music from his iPhone but then that stopped working. The sound bar died completely.He tried troubleshooting with the Owner's Manual but nothing worked. He then called Sharp to find out how warranty repairs are handled. Sharp referred him to Hisense. Hisense phone rep told him the item must be returned for repair and that my nephew would receive instructions in an email. The email had a generic signature (no person's name) and did not provide a "ship to" address or information about who pays for shipping. I called Hisense and was told that the customer pays for shipping TO the warehouse and they will pay to ship the item back. I was also given the shipping address which is in Suwanee, GA.Based on the size and weight of the package required to ship the sound bar, I am quite sure the shipping cost will be nearly half as much as I paid for the item in the first place. When I mentioned this to the customer service rep, she said, "Yeah, I probably wouldn't pay to send it back, either." I feel compelled to push this issue a bit further up the chain of command. In the end, I'm sensing that I bought junk electronics from a company that does not care about people or the environment. I hope you will consider my (and my nephew's) experience and do NOT buy this product or any products manufactured by Hisense.

This is the godfather of sharp sound bars and subs. The tweeters and mids on the bar are probably the most crisp I've heard on any bar before. The remote is a tool of itself and various ways to adjust sounds to your liking. 5 stars. Most def one of the best Sharp surrounds sound systems. If not the best. Year means nothing. This is Bluetooth wit hdmi!
