Don't buy this thing. I had it for a year before unloading it for cheap.

- sounds like shit for music
- surround speakers are a gimmick and the battery means they have a finite lifespan
- connection issues with the sub
- no atmos support

You need a space with lower ceilings for the upward firing speakers to bounce off of.

I have this bar and it's great. The wireless surround sound is clutch for big games, big fights, etc. No wires to worry about.

I used to have an Atmos bar but realized it didn't work with my ceiling height (too high).

Unless I'm mistaken I think people who have replied are misunderstanding Atmos support vs an Atmos bar. If an audiophile can help explain that'd be great.

Atmos is not for everyone. Peasants with low ceilings or those who don't have speakers in their ceiling might benefit from Atmos.

Atmos is a special audio format and you don't need height speakers to benefit from it.
