This sound bar is amazing. Expensive yes. The experience it provides is amazing. Have had no issues after 3 months and the headset mode is crazy. Def a lot for a sound bar but if your looking for a top notch experience look no further

I got this as a replacement for my Samsung Soundbar that died after only 3 months.I'm an audiophile and I know high quality sound when I hear it.For the price point of $250 this soundbar with the subwoofer is good as expected.It was a perfect selection for my gaming PC where I run racing simulators.The sound quality is good.Is it ear busting treble with ground shaking bass?No.. But the sound even at higher levels is clean.The cool led lighting matches my gaming pc.This is a good mid level soundbar for pc gaming.Plugs easily with USB and the drivers install on connection and its a recognized device.The leviathan app is available as well.

This is a day 1, hour 1 review.The replaced system:A ~13 year old speaker system from Creative that got zapped and crapped out. Dolby 4.1 with a subwoofer and 4 satellite speakers. Due to space constraints, the setup was subwoofer under the computer desk, left speakers roughly 15° from center, right speakers at roughly 30° and 90° from center. I originally purchased a Creative product similar to this, but returned it due to Creative's packing being pre-opened and missing pieces.The delivery:The unit arrived in its manufacturer's box, so your neighbors will know that they look forward to you regaling them with your new rainbow spectacled sound system. (Creative places their units in plain cardboard boxing.)The unpacking:Plastic waste: The plastic waste is lower than Creative, who uses styrofoam. Waste included two foam sleeves, one for each half of the unit, on plastic strip to secure cardboard packing to the subwoofer's bottom, two plastic bags for two extra feet for the speaker unit (more on this below), and two rubber bands (which I guess could be reused). Creative used styrofoam compared to this unit's preference towards cardboard.The instructions come in the form of a quick installation infographic, as well as a more elaborate instruction booklet. Creative packaged instructions on one of those gigantic map-fold printouts.The installtion:The old system possessed 5 wires (4 speakers, one volume controller) that were able to be fed from the top of the desk to the bottom, and the power fed to the subwoofer.The power to this unit is fed to the speaker system, and the wire had to be fed upwards from the subwoofer to the desktop unit. If power had to be fed from under the desk, I would have had to feed that one upwards, as well. There were, of course, fewer wires, but feeding upwards means more crawling under the desk and gravity working against you, rather than with you. The creative system that I had and would have had both had aux inputs, whereas this unit only has USB and bluetooth. I think I would have preferred an aux input since that remains an unused slot on my computer now, and my usb slots see frequent use and swapping, but I'll make do. Maybe there will be other benefits. The old system was easier to install, though it used more wires. But I don't necessarily disagree with the design decisions here.The hardware layout:Extra stuff:The desktop unit comes with two wide legs pre-installed to lift the unit roughly 3/4 inch off the desk. These can slip off to make the unit only sit roughly 1/4 inch off the desk. Also packaged are an extra set of "raised feet" which appear to allow you to angle the unit upwards or downwards - possibly to accommodate other monitor layouts, or if California lift or Texas lift to your speaker system. Since it's unlikely you'll be swapping regularly, that does mean 2-4 feet that you likely won't ever use. Adjustable feet would have been preferable to me, but I recognize that these generally aren't as reliable.In addition, it came with two power cord connections, one for US, the other I didn't recognize. Creative's came with 3. Make your own decision if this is a pro or con to you.The hardware:I thought it was weird for the wire for the subwoofer to come out the bottom, on the side of the speaker. If you face the subwoofer fowards (as opposed to the wall), that's the side the wire comes out on. I expected this to come out the back of the unit, but after giving it thought, I prefer the wire to come out the bottom since it would seem that it would be impossible to bend the wire connection into the unit farther than it "should" be, compared to, say, shoving the unit against the wall and crimping the cables. As mentioned above, this isn't a separate wire that you plug in after the fact, it comes out the bottom of the subwoofer.The power cable is a wire-block-wire, with the power cable detachable from the power transformer brick. This is an improvement from the old system, which had a massive brick plugged directly into the UPC, taking up whatever slots it wanted. (The Creative system that I would have had is similar to this setup.)The initial sound:The device requires a several hundred MB download to "properly" use (sigh... why?) and "offers" you spam options (ah... that's why), as well as advanced... options... to sync with rainbow keyboards and games, and allows you different sound setups for different games. Guess I'm not interested in this, but if it's your bag, that's useful to you.The sound was initially jarring - it's coming from "in front" of me, instead of "around." This isn't to lambast the system, but you may experience this, as well, and that's why. The high notes in the system sounds felt louder than my older system. Firing up VLC and throwing in my music pile and I think I'm overall happier with the sound quality, and will just get over the directionality component.Upon opening my browser to write this review, I noticed that the sound settings for VLC dropped instantly, which was weird, since my browser wasn't producing any sound. I'll have to investigate the settings to prevent this, since I don't like my computer making wrong decisions for what I want to hear.The software:The several hundred MB download I referenced earlier requests that you log in with an e-mail, but this appears to be optional, as there's a "guest" login. I'm not sure what the use-case for connecting everything you own into the same sound system and having all units having access to the same sound profiles, but if that's you, that's what's offered, here.After "logging in," you will be greeted by a low-key advertisement for a Razer mouse that's pervasive to "smart" electronics nowadays.The audio settings provides for a digital audio equalizer, which may help with the high pitched sounds I disliked earlier. In addition, there's a setting to switch from "stereo" to "thx" quality. The thx instantly sounded better, so it's weird to me that the unit defaults to stereo, but there's probably a reason for that. However, the THX settings reduced the "front directionality" aspect I was complaining about, but the sound directionality is still prevalent, but may fade with time.There are "visualizer" sound settings - I'm not sure how much you're going to fiddle with these beyond the initial setup. You're probably either going to want solid colors, solid colors that cycle, a rainbow , or a rainbow that cycles. But if you want VLC to have this, your browser to have that, and this, that, and the other game to have the other, the other other, and the other other other setting, that's there. Playing with the settings, I can definitely appreciate the plethora of options available, as the unit itself could easily contribute to eye fatigue.You might like this system if:You have ears.You want unique settings for all the things.You like reactive sound visualizations reminiscent of digital equalizers for winamp and the like.You might not like this system if:You're not willing to do at least a little initial fiddling to get better settings than default.You want bass that drives your neighbors insane.You're going from a true surround sound to an under-monitor layout, and that true surround is important to you.
