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.

Excellent sound bar with great bass, good sensitivity & audio fidelity.

It doesn't have Atmos, but how many movies are there that support Atmos? Probably very few!

This is probably the lowest price we've seen in the last few years!

Been running great for 2 years....my setup is LG C1, Nvidia shield, jbl bar 5.1, and harmony elite. Only issue for me which is more of an Nvidia shield issue....switching from headphones back to soundbar sometimes I have to turn off the soundbar and back on the get desired input.

I have a jbl bar 9.1 which has Atmos. Tbh, I dont feel any difference between a regular bar and mine. Sounds like a marketing gimmick or at least it wont work with upfiring speakers. Its sound quality and richness is what makes it a great sound bar not atmos. I believe 5.1 should have similar sound quality. Also beware these bars are extremly glitchy and buggy.

Doesn't appear to have Dolby Plus/Atmos support, battery powered surround speakers that don't deliver the original surround tracks from sources either.

I'd skip this one
