Better than expected for the money, with Atmos and DTS:X support, clear dialogue and a bit of added height.

An affordable all-in-one Atmos bar with a wide, crisp soundstage and clear dialogue that suits casual viewers and tight budgets.
Homes and Gardens70
A bargain-priced bar that clearly beats TV speakers and delivers punchy bass and decent surround, but it lacks clarity and balance and distorts when pushed.
