Sounds GREAT!!!📀🎸🎼
I am someone who loves movies and music. So I appreciate when I purchase a product that sounds as good as what this Philips sound bar does. Phillips has an app, to change settings for music , movies and with or without Dolby! When I turn on my Roku television, the sound bar automatically turns on. I can control the audio level from my Roku remote. It came with a remote from Phillips, but you don’t have to use both, which is a great convenience.I play music from Spotify, and my CD collection, which sounds great at any sound level up to 100% with no distortion.I did a lot of research before I purchased the sound bar and compared other sound bars made by Roku as well. This is a top quality sound bar, and it was easy to set up!I purchased this for under $100 which was a steal before Christmas! Well worth the money.

Basic, easy, better than stock speakers
If you just want sound that is better than the normal speakers in your TV, this is a good setup. Cheap, Easy to install, no issues.

Good value for the money
Received it May 2025. So far so good. Much nicer sound than the TV speakers. Bluetooth paired easily with my Sony Bravia TV. I like the ability to adjust volume, bass and treble with the remote. It is as long as the 55” screen TV is wide but is almost unnoticeable. Very good product for a very good price. No complaints at this time.

Missing optic cord, poor Bluetooth quality
My soundbar did not come with the optic cord. I reached out to Philips via the Amazon link. I was told I’d get a reply within 24-48 hours, it’s been nearly 72 hours. So, I reached out to Amazon who is sending me a replacement soundbar, but it won’t arrive for many weeks due to back order I’m assuming. Meanwhile, I’m using the Bluetooth option which hard horrible sound quality and doesn’t even sync with the picture (timing is off). It’s too bad someone couldn’t have made this right by sending me an optic cord. Instead I have to wait weeks for a replacement and have the hassle of returning.

I went back and forth with a number of soundbars – checking reviews, features, price, ease of use etc., and settled on this one. It has great sound and even on less than half max volume it is very substantial in creating a rumble effect. Sound travels to the room underneath on volume setting 14 but transfers as a low bass (the subwoofer is on the floor though) however it doesn’t penetrate horizontally to 2 rooms away (1 room away it does but fortunately that is unoccupied) We had it at full volume (32) for about 5 secs before deciding it was probably not wise if we intended to require windows that were not blown out. (it’s very loud)This is in my son’s bedroom and I work nights so sleep during the day and if he has it on a volume setting up to 15 I have no clue it is even on. Does not disturb me with the advantage of having a room between us. He is very impressed with it. His new favourite toy he says. He’s a baker and he says he reckons even with the noise of mixers, ovens and associated machinery in the bakery the sound bar would cut through that and drown them out. Unfortunately his boss won’t let him test that theory.Above volume 15 and in the room below his you can make out lyrics from music but also with a TV on in the room below it again just becomes a background bass-y rumble that fades into the background once you get immersed in the TV you are watching.I have read reviews about the scrolling text being distracting even on the dimmed setting. I asked my son about this – his first response ‘What scrolling text?’ then after watching the display he said ‘That reviewer needs to stop being so easily distracted’ He says if you are concentrating on what you are watching or playing it doesn’t distract you, you have to actively look down at the soundbar. It could also possibly be a placement issue with the reviewer. My son has it below the TV but it is also wall mountable and comes with some fittings.It did take a few goes to get it connected and even now 11 days later neither me or my son are quite sure how we got it working as we thought we’d tried every combination and we still couldn’t do it but then suddenly it came to life. I’m quite willing to accept unknown forces played a part, magic is real!We have it connected through HDMI(ARC) – not gonna lie had to google that, didn’t have a clue. Check your TV has a HDMI port with ARC support for this. It will say ARC in brackets next to one of the HDMI ports on your TV. However, I believe it can also connect through regular HDMI.Price is very reasonable and being able to get it on monthly payments through Amazon made the price easier to handle.One very impressed gadget-loving-console-playing son on his 23rd birthday and one happy mum to have monthly payments with a son’s birthday 20 days before Christmas.

Péssimo

muy buena barra con un sonido espectacular, nada que invidiar a las barras de samsung, lg o sony.
