First I've had very high end 7.2, dual sub, high end home theater systems in the past. This is definitely not that, but it also didn't cost $8k. I've had this system now for about 4 weeks. I have a 65 inch Samsung TV and was only using the built in tv speakers for sound. I searched and searched the reviews for a systems that would sound very good, especially compared to the tv speakers and be easy to install and operate....this ended up being the one. I'm glad I bought it,..... more everyday. I looked at hundreds if not thousands of sound bar reviews from Polk, Bose, Klipsch, etc.
The install was super simple, if you have a HDMI ARC outlet on the back of your TV, it's honestly just plug and play. So keep in mind this review is with a TV that has HDMI ARC, check your TV to see if you have that. It will say "HDMI ARC" by the HDMI plug. HDMI is not HDMI ARC. All TVs these day have HDMI, some cheaper ones do NOT have HDMI ARC. The other connection option is optical cord (the optical cable is included, the HDMI cord is NOT included). Optical is considered slightly less optimal for sound these days (in my experience when compared to HDMI ARC) and has no actual link to control or work with your TV, optical is just sound from the TV. I do not know how optical would sound, but in my extensive "review of reviews"........I found that many complaints were people that had to use the optical cable because they had no HDMI ARC output on thier TV. With optical it seems the sound may have been less quality and they had annoying connection problems constantly. The truth is, you will get that with any sound bar using the optical cable only. With HDMI ARC the system works flawlessly with each other.
The remote operation, to set things up initially, is a little complex but once you go though the manual and figure out all the features, it's not bad to learn. It has a ton of cool features. One that surprised me, was the IR repeater ...what the heck does that mean? Well if the sound bar is sitting too high in front of your TV and blocking the TV remote IR signal receiver, this sound bar can actually take the IR signal of your TV remote from the front of the sound bar and shoot it out the back of the sound bar, so it "repeats" to the front of your TV remote sensor. Pretty cool, but figuring that out, took a while and you have to press and hold a button on the remote for 5 seconds to get it to turn on. READ the MANUAL! There was no difficulty getting the sub to connect to the sound bar, it did it all automatically and continues to do so, every time I turn on or off the TV (again that's an HDMI ARC function, with optical you would have to turn the sound bar on/off and the tv on/off separately). This sub never loses Bluetooth signal from the sound bar, a big problem with other similar systems. It goes on and off when the TV does, automatically (again only HDMI arc, not optical)
There's tons of features, you just have to look for them.
Ok, now the big one, THE SOUND! Beacause the sub is only around 6 inches, I knew that the bass would not be the deep booming bass of a high end 10 or 12 inch subwoofer. This sub actually does a good job (if turned all the way up on remote .....read the manual, again...) for normal to high/mid range bass. For watching movies and TV, it's not going to have deep base, that shakes your entire house, but it does mix perfectly with the sound bar's lower range end, with mids and higher end bass. The actual bar really shines with clear highs and mids, even it very high volume. The system can get louder than you can listen to it and remains undestorted and clear, until about 47 of 50 level and up on volume (1-50 sound levels, manual again...). The Bluetooth to phone connection is easy to set up and music sounds really good. There's are many sound setting for different types of programs or music but I have found that "Auto Sound" is usually the best all around setting. The manual says auto sound is the setting where the system adjusts the sound to what your watching automatically. It seems to do the best job, to my ears.
Overall, the sound is better than expected for a system of this size and cost. I am extremely happy with the sound out of this little system and I was very skeptical. It is not a high end sound system but it definitely sounds way better than the stock tv speakers and is packed with tons of extra features. I have no regrets and WILL update if I encounter any problems, big or small. Good luck on your search.
Update #1 at 6 weeks. 12/12/21
Update 2. 9/10/22.
It's still going strong. No problems at all. Now after a move to a new house and new TV stand and everything is as good as new. I'm really glad I bought this little system. I would highly recommend this system for the type of situation I previously mentioned above. It's still very clear at really loud volume...even though I don't use it super loud often. It's a good one for sports, movies and music. I leave it set on Auto Sound and the sub turned up all the way.
Hope you like it as much as I do.

Honest Review Of Sony HT-S350 Soundbar Wireless Subwoofer

Super bang for your buck!
The only other surround sound system I had about 8 years ago was a vizio 5.1 w/ a soundbar, woofer, and a pair of SS speakers. It was around $400 I believe, but I'm not sure of the price now...Anyways, what I'm getting at is this is just a soundbar and woofer for a couple hundred bucks... and in a regular sized medium room this little baby packs a wallop of a punch. To really test it i played the jurassic park T Rex park tour scene. I didn't even turn it up to the "middle" section of the volume (it has a low, medium, and high section). I. Just turned it up to the loudest on the low section. I was very surprised. It replicates surround sound very nice and the bass hits wayyy harder than I thought... bottom line, it was $200 bucks, and worth every penny.
