So glad I came across your channel. Another great and helpful review.
I’m glad I can help 👍🏾 I will keep them coming
Great detailed review! Everything I wanted to know was in this video. Best of luck on your channel, I can see it taking off one day!
Glad I could help you out bud. Thank you so much I really appreciate that 🙏
Awesome review and very helpful especially highlighting the bass. I'm not trying to shake the house; just a a better quality sound. I had a Polk subwoofer for years and loved it! Thanks man.
Thank You and I'm glad this video could help you. and sorry for the super late reply. UA-cam Phone app sucks missed so many comments I always replied on my phone but guess the app didn't get all comments
Hey man great video! I just got this sound bar for my birthday today and I was blown away by how clear and rich sounding this speaker was. I have never owned a sound bar before so I can’t compare how well this one sounded to other sound bars, but I think this ones possibly better than a lot of over priced brands. The bass was pretty good in my opinion and it definitely shook the whole room, for how small of a subwoofer it is it sure did sound like a way bigger one. I’m happy and satisfied with this sound bar!
Hey bud happy birthday 🎂 I’m glad you like the soundbar and love the sound of it as well 👍 hope you had/have a great have a good one and be safe out there bud ✊🏾
good content.. glad to see a youtuber whos active in their comments.. thank you
no problem at all bud. thank you for watching the video
I didn't see this before, but this was a nice review of the soundbar. I just bought my first Smart TV - 65" Vizio (I've had the same LCD 50" since 2009, when I came back from my first deployment) and was VERY unpleasantly surprised to hear that TVs just have crap for audio built in these days. So naturally went and got a sound bar, and loved the sound of this. Found one on open-box, and figured I would give it a chance. First attempt was a bust as the speaker was blown, so took it back and grabbed a new Polk S2, and glad I did. Glad to see others are having the same pleasing experience I am!
Yea TV speakers are so bad now it’s crazy. I’m glad you found this soundbar and it was perfect for you right a way 👍. And thank you for your service 🙏
Thanks for the review. Honestly you got the like on the video for the Akatsuki blanket!
I will Take it 😂☁☁☁☁☁☁
Just purchased one and had it delivered with my new Sony Tv on March 23. My living room is only 12 x 18 and this one works great. Enjoy your channel and reviews! Thanks!!
Thank you 🙏🏾 I’m glad it works perfect for you and that your enjoying the sound bar
Gonna order one for my daughters TV. Her first response was that I already complain about how loud she turns up her TV. I told her that this will help her listen easier at a lower volume because it's better quality. Thanks for the review.
Rodney you are a great reviewer. Thank you. I purchased it based upon your review. Thank you so much.
Great review. Many thanks! 😊
The video is good but your responses and research to all the comments is FANTASTIC! This level of commitment earned a subscription. 👍
Excellent work, sir.
Thank you so much bud I appreciate that. I really do 🙏
Thank you for giving a well-rounded review.
No problem at all bud and thank you for watching 🙏🏾
Thanks for this review! Do you need to use HDMI ARC with optical or can you use optical only? I just got one and I get no sound with just optical. Thanks!
Great video, thanks! I'm about to buy it but have small question - does the sound have second delay on using connection via bluetooth?
I just picked this up today and got it connected. So far I noticed the clean/clear sound right off the back. Still doing some further testing while connected with HDMI ARC
How is it bud still all good? and do you like after a week of use?
Right off the the bat* is the expression you’re looking for.
Good afternoon, friend, thank you for your review. I can’t understand with the sub buffer, does it constantly turn off and can I turn it on again? thanks for the answer
I just purchased this model as a prime day deal. I just subbed you too. Great content.
Good job. Very thorough. No BS. Thanks.
No problem bud. Thanks for watching my video
Awesome . Great review and definitely want this and possibly the new signa s3 is out now
thank you bud. The s3 is out already nice, let me know how you like it if you get the s3
@@WannaBuyIt i will no doubt
Wow I was in the market to look for a sound bar great video. Thanks.
No problem bud and thank you for watching my video
Hey, Rodney, great descriptions in the soundbar features - a really well done video. Glad you offered plenty of info on the remote and voice enhancement features, the caution on the bluetooth cons, and the fact that the passive subwoofer is fairly capable but won't produce "wall crumbling" bass, which like you said, can be good for a smaller room. I sold a ton of Polk Audio product in the 2000's, and this bar looks like a good budget product. Liked👍 and subscribed.
Aye bud thank you so much I appreciate that and thank you for watching my video it means a lot. It for sure is a great budget option
Very well done and informative video review of the Polk S2..... I saw this product on Amazon then searched UA-cam for a review and your comments were straight forward and to the point (unlike a couple other video reviews I watched first). I appreciate your help. I’m now going back over to Amazon to buy one for my Samsung 32” TV. Thanks !!
no problem at all bud, I'm glad I was able to help. thank you for watching my video
i just had to tell you... My Polk S2 package arrived today. Just as you said in your video, this was very easy. I was able to unpack, install and enjoy in 5 minutes. As you characterized it, the sound bar offers a “full sound” and the woofer adds some depth but it doesn’t shake the room, it’s not designed to make that chest pounding compression you’d find in a real movie theater. However I couldn’t be more pleased. For the inexpensive price tag, the ease in which you can set it up, the wide, crisp, full sound - and I can connect my iPhone by Bluetooth to listen to my music through this sound bar - this is a GREAT package. Thank you again for your accurate and informative video review.
Great video my friend I'm subscribing and liking
I have this exact model hooked up to my 70 inch in the garage Mahal and sounds fantastic with sports and music along with movies and if I shut the door to watch a movie it’s amazing almost like movie theater quality I liked it so much I bought another one for the living room
I’ve glad you love your soundbar bud 👍🏾
lovely video
Thank you 🙏🏾
Love the review! I got one about a month ago, and my mom followed suit shortly after. However, she hated that she couldn't control the volume from her regular remote. So she returned it and got an LG for the same price, but the sound was awful, so she returned that as well. Do you have any suggestions for soundbars that compare to how good the sound is on the Signa S2 for around the same price point?
yea my parents hate that as well with soundbars I give them. Another great speaker is the Samsung hw-t450. the bass on this soundbar is amazing for a budget speaker. I reviewed that on my channel as well.ua-cam.com/video/xGr6utYH91Y/v-deo.html
amzn.to/3lHzVFw
Luv ur HONEST REVIEW
thank you bud. i will keep it coming
Is the bass good for like hip hop music, for like deep and hard bass or does the subwoofer cant handle it at high volume? Also is it at max volume very loud?
Thanks for the awesome video! Id say this would be an upgrade regardless because the TV speakers are booboo on my LG lol. Thanks!
yea TV speakers are so bad now a days
Can I use the soundbar without the sub? Thanks!
Thanks for espaining the 1 2 3 buttons. I have hearing loss, so lets see how this helps me hear the words.
Nice review! Though I'm having a hard time if I should get this or the DENON DHT-S316... Any advice? Thanks!
I never tried the denon I don’t want to send you the wrong way bud. Sorry I can’t help you out
Awesome review!
Thank you bud and thanks for watching
Thanks, good review
No problem at all bud
Greet soundbar bro and definitely great video keep climbing up the ladder because you are definitely growing
Thank you so much bud I really appreciate it 🙏🏾
@@WannaBuyIt fa sho bro
Soundbar is awesome nice clear sound nice bass for my livingroom easily connected to my echo dot 3rd generation only drawback is the remote is complete trash the buttons are hard to push and you have to damn near point it directly at the soundbar to get it to work but its still a pretty good soundbar for the price and your review is what convinced me to buy it
Aye bud I’m glad you like the soundbar and definitely for the price. Haha you right tho the remote buttons was hard to push 😂. But hey thanks for coming back and letting me know how you liked it and the problems with the remote 🙏🏾 be safe out there and have a good day bud.
just bought this sound bar today!!! thanx
No problem at all, come back and let me know how you liked it 🙏🏾
Hello just seen ur video I see many comments are a year ago but glad to see it anyway very helpful an ur presentation I'd really good thxs again 😊
No problem at all thank you so much for watching my video means a lot
@@WannaBuyIt after seeing ir video on polk sound bar order one be here Thursday thxs again
How many speakers in the sound bar and how many watts
I put the sub behind the tv in a corner and it kicks way harder then in front like you have it in the vid. For my space I probably wouldnt want it any heavier. Nice review man. What does night mode do?
oh nice glad you found that perfect spot and thanks for the tip for other who are looking for way to set up the sub. Night mode just lowers the bass so it won't hit hard when people are trying to sleep basically and makes the voices in the show/movie pop more without having to turn up the tv loud.
What kind of mic you are using mate
Hi iam having a confusion wjat to buy, polk s2 or s4 ..s4 cost 299 and s2 cost 129 .thanks
You convinved me to buy it and im not disappointed👍
heck yea that's what I'm talking about bud
Great video, have you connected this soundbar using hdmi arc/earc yet. Optical sounded decent . I have a U7g and I've puchases this soundbar but have yet connected it !!
Dang I honestly can’t remember bud this was like one of my first couple videos feels so long ago
Do have to re pair the subwoofer to the soundbar every time you shut off the soundbar ? & how does music sound on the soundbar? Thanks 😊
no it will auto connect to the sound bar and it music sound good on here as well
Do you know if this sound bar and subwoofer will work with the polk audio t15 100w home theater bookshelf speakers??
That I have no clue bud. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you out with that question
I've got an older model (9500bt with subwoofer) and was thinking of looking for another one but I absolutely love the one I have and it doesn't seem like this is better by any means
I’m not sure if it’s connected or not.. maybe I’m. It hooking it up right, do I need to changed the tv settings
sometimes if you change your "HDMI Audio Format" on your TV to PCM helps with some soundbars. In your audio setting > expert setting > HDMI Audio Format > switch to PCM. (Samsung tv for me. the way to get to Audio Format might be different on your TV)
If I Attached soundbar with HDMI (ARC) when ever I turned tv on, Need sound bar remote use for turn on soundbar ?
With hdmi arc it should control the soundbar turn it off and adjust the volume wit the tv remote
Thanks for sharing this excellent presentation. Greetings from James J in Limerick city Ireland
No problem. Thank you for watching all my videos bud
Hey.. on your opinion.. polk mini, polk magnifi or samsug q70t? Witch from them i can get the best sound and quality? 🙏
I haven't used any of those speakers bud. I don't want to give you the wrong advice
I know this is a old video but I just bought this for my bedroom and I definitely feel the bass. I have it in the corner and it sounds really good.
I’m glad you are enjoying it bud
Hey @A Pow how's it holding up 9 months later?
@@tortillajackson6007 hey, it’s still good. Bass sounds good, maybe better since the speaker response is better. No technical or performance issues.
@A Pow cool thanks, so damn many to choose from out there lol, but I think this is the one.
I got this to go with my 77 inch C1 OLED. Sounds really good for the $
Heck yeah 👍🏾
Do I need to buy brackets to mount on the wall? Or does it come with it?
oh dang bud I can't remember if this had brackets are not. I'm sorry about that
Replacing my sony HT-CT 290. Its either this (Polk Audio Signa S2) or the Sony HT-S350. Any recommendations?
Oh man idk I been out the soundbar game for a bit. I feel their might be some newer amazing speaker options out there for you
@@WannaBuyIt thanks for the honesty! Have a good one!
I’m thinking of getting this for my bedroom to play with my video games. Is this good for using it in a small bedroom?
yes my room is really small as well and it was just fine. I would also look into the samsung soundbar i reviewed budget aoundbar with crazy good bass
How does it compare to LG SN4 ?
great video man, can you plug the subwoofer into the soundbar to work or do you have to use it wifi
Wifi only I believe
@@WannaBuyIt ok thanks, the reason why i asked is because wifi usually causes problems down the line. Do you have any problems with your sound bar its been like 2 years now
I was hoping you'd show how to hook it up. I have been using the HDMI connection but it takes forever to start up. So today I tried connecting to my LG HDTV which is a high end 3 yr old, cost about $2,200. There are 3 optical inputs on the TV but it won't fit in any no how no way. Tried rotating it but nothing. It connects to the soundbar easy enough tho. Please help.
Did you make sure to take the rubber ball off the optical? Only asking because my wife’s brother didn’t one time and couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t fit. But other than that idk why it won’t
I've been using the hdmi arc connection which sounds just as good as the optical setting (according to other reviews) so I'll keep using what works.
I just wish there wasn't so much of a delay with sound after I turned the TV on (a good 30 seconds of picture with no sound).
I feel like if you’re not trying to kill the rest of the house then get what you want but I have two of them in two different places and they sound fantastic. The polk is all on point.
By any chance do you know if it is normal for mine to only hear sound on the left side of the sound bar or is it defective or set up wrong. It is brand new.
no it for sure shouldn't be doing that. send it back for a new one I think
@@WannaBuyIt hey thank you for the reply and your review on it but I end up going into tv settings and put on Dolby Digital. Everything working and sounding good now. I'm satisfied with it perfect for me is all I need for my bedroom.
Really tempted to purchase this sound bar through Amazon for under $140. Does my TV need to have an HDMI Arc output? I only have a regular HDMI output on my Samsung HD television.
oh man bud might want to look that up. because i had one speaker tell place cable into arc port on tv. I don't want to tell you the wrong thing and I don't have this speaker any more to test it out sorry
Just bought it and it was the same thing you said. Great over all sound but I really wanted that rumble. Looking for something in the $250 range
Yes if you want that rumble check out the Samsung speaker I reviewed bud that thing shakes in that budget range 👍🏾
Hey man, please advise.. This or the Sony HTMT300 from Best Buy for $200? I know this one is more powerful, but I live in an apartment. I have the Sony now, but thinking about exchanging it for this. I like the Sony sound bar/sub so far bc it's compact and look sleep. Sound quality wise, bass aside, which one is a better buy? This one's $170 at Best Buy right now. Thanks.
I haven’t heard the the Sony soundbar so I don’t wanna speak on that one. But this one it’s a good sounding soundbar, the bass is not that big and booming so in your apartment you won’t annoy your neighbors with crazy bass. But I don’t know how good your soundbar now sounds or other the Sony, I don’t know if your downgrading or at the same level because I haven’t heard the Sony
Omg get it!!! I went into best buy and fell in love with a vizio sound system and it was 500. Before I bought it I wanted to see what else was around and told myself to only judge off aound and not off price. To my surprise I never heard of the brand but it sounded awesome. And once I heard the price was 179. I was sold. It was between this and a 500 dollar system. This was so worth 200 bucks.
I'm glad you saved a good amount of money bud and still got the sound you wanted from a soundbar. 👍
Thank you brother I was about to buy off Amazon saved me 135.. lol. 👍🏾
No problem at all bud. If you looking for a nice budget sound check out Samsung soundbar it got crazy bass
Can you recommend a good sound bar that doesn't have a 15 minute auto shut off feature such as this one, according to online reviews I've read elsewhere?
oh lets see I think one the best budget speakers easily is the Samsung hw-t450 the bass is amazing on that soundbar. amzn.to/3sfITvq
Now when it comes to auto shut off I don't recall the Samsung doing that to me. but its rare that I leave the tv and stuff on without watching for that long also but I don't recall having to turn the speaker on every time.
Hm, not really a fan of the Samsung subwoofer size, and did think that the Signa 2 would be good for dialog boost for hard of hearing?
Our TV is in angled corner and the couch is about 10 - 12 feet away.
@@PotterPossum1989 I just got a comment on the new video someone saying that he didn't give good Dialog boost from the S2.

Thank You my Brother. Ordered it > Amazon > got it on sale for 149. Its goin in my bedroom for late night/lazy weekend marathon type stuff > and so judging by the fact that you know about 'better systems', I think your probably right on point with the application that I need. When I make a true movie room Ill reach higher, no doubt. Lets see what happens... (PS I have a pair of 4k $ speakers from the 80's and they have no competition - Polk makes great products. The 2nd reason Im making my purchase off your review)
heck yea bud please come back and let me know how you like the soundbar. thank you so much for watch my video. I appreciate it
@@WannaBuyIt Ok, got it this afternoon. My 55" is wall mounted, and so as far as installation goes ; the most time spent was getting the bar level and even under my TV. Thankfully Polk provides a template for just this purpose. If you have your TV sitting on a stand, good for you :D After running my cords nicely, and popping in the first episode of Game of Thrones ..... Nice Sound. Very Clear speech. Wow. Decent Bass for sure. This system is perfect for the price, Perfect for amping up the sound as opposed to the crappy speakers in your factory flatscreen. The difference CANT BE denied. A great purchase. If you want true 5.1 surround, spend more, but this little system is perfect for a typical bedroom situation. OK, Im out - about to watch Lord of the Rings. All 3 of them. Subscribed BTW
@@micahjared8082 heck yes bud I'm so glad you are enjoying the soundbar. that really makes me happy for real. Thank you for subbing to the channel I appreciate it. Go enjoy them movies bud and take care. Have a great 2021
@@WannaBuyIt Your welcome My Brother! You take care and be safe as well
I’m looking for a soundbar/subwoofer so do you think I should get this one or the Samsung hw-t450 I wanted to know your opinion because both of them are the same price and sale so I want to make sure I get the better one great video
Samsung I really liked a lot
@@WannaBuyIt thanks does the Bluetooth work well ?
Great review 👍 wish you would've played some music to hear both
I know I should have 😫🤦🏾
Im having a problem with my soundbar and i love it but when i got it, it was working perfectly fine with the sources and all but then 2 days later it just stayed on optical and i cant switch it and now i cant turn it off, i looked for everything but idk
oh man that is crazy. I never heard of that you for sure should contact them. sorry for the super late reply
@@WannaBuyIt its all good bro lol, i only waited a month lmao, naw but fr its all good i aint mad, have a great day sir lol and ill try to contact them

How do I pair the subwoofer to the soundbar
Mine just link right away. For sure google it and they might show you how to pair if it’s not
Great review, bought one, hated opening, and it's perfect for the price.
Im glad you are liking it bud 😊🙏🏾
What is the exact wattage ?
let me ask, can i purchase another subwoofer for this and have 2 subs, maybe use a better polk sub with it. because i just ordered it few minutes ago, and will get a more bass sub while i am waiting for it to come in.
i guess what i am asking, can i purchase a better bass sub for this bar, and use 2 subs,
Debating between this one or the bose solo 5. What do you recommend?
If you want some bass this for sure because the solo 5 doesn’t have any bass at all. Unless you get the sub woofer with it. Also on my channel I did another sound bar from Samsung and I like that one the most out of both 👍 give it a watch
Get the Polk Command Bar
I'm having a hard time with the sound bar. It works really well for my cable but when I try and use an app like Netflix/PrimeVid/Hulu it just kind of spits static through the speakers.
that is so weird i haven't had that problem with speakers i have had before, so i'm gonna have to look it up for you. i will try my best to find something about that problem
i tried to call the tech support but they are closed weekends the best i can find so far is this link hometheateracademy.com/soundbar-netflix-troubleshooting-issues/ but i will look some more
i found this comment from another soundbar hope this will work "I had this exact problem. Only Netflix and Amazon were coming in with static when playing a video. All trailers and selection sounds were fine. I was using Amazon Firestick with AV cables which didn't really work with Dobly Digital Plus. Going into Amazon Fire settings for Audio and was able to turn off Dolby Digital Plus. This stopped the issue"
Hey appreciate it bro. After some tweaking I had to mess with the TV settings. The sound bar sounds excellent for the price. The next issue I'm running into is a slight delay in the picture and the sound coming out of the speaker. I put on a basketball game to double check and there's like a half second delay when the ball is dribbled and you hear the sound. That's where I'm at now.
this is the best thing i could find om this "When the Audio is behind the video please check your TV settings does not have any audio delay applied to the external audio outputs. Reduce the delay or even set to "0" (no delay). If your video is behind your audio try disabling any video processing in your TV's VIDEO menu. Your TVs user manual should explain how to make these settings."
Rodney hello I purchased this soundbar and I cannot get it to work I have the HDMI connected to my tv and no sound Please Help me if you can
does you TV setting have a audio output option? like mine I can choose HDMI, TV speaker or Optical. check to make sure if you have that on your tv audio options
Compared to the Bose solo 5, which sound bar would you recommend to get?
with the Bose solo 5 you won't have the bass is the biggest down fault in this battle.
But if you just want a sound bar and if I was choosing just sound bars only no sub. I would pick the Bose solo 5 soundbar.
Polk is on sell going for $140 right now and you get a subwoofer with it also something to think about. I know bose solo 5 is $150.
If I was to choose I would pick the Bose solo 5 out of the two because my room is small and I don't need bass. If you want some nice bass I would choose this speaker ($147) amzn.to/2IZJ8Kc over Polk. I did a review on it as well. Hope I helped you out.

I have this paired w my TCL 65” and I love it! bought it 2018 Black Friday Best Buy $179 will upgrade to the S3 this coming holiday if the price is right!
I know the s3 does look nice
Wanna Buy It is it any different than the S2 vs S3 other than the addition of the chrome cast?
The price for the S3 is $250 bud 👍
Almost everything is the same but yes the chrome cast, 4K and 8k support and google assistant is mainly the new features
I’m not gonna lie though bud having that chromecast to the soundbar might be nice for some people. I got the roku sound bar that I’m testing out and I love having the stream stick apart of the soundbar. It was only $161 total so really good so far but yea I will have that review up in a couple more days.
Thank you Bro form Lima Peru
no thank you for watching bud. much love to lima peru 🙏
hi!, the scene is the same you showed with the JBL Bar 5.1, and, well both sounds really good; wich one do you recommend?
Honestly if you got the budget definitely the JBL 5.1 hands down. With that you are gonna get that crazy movie theater shaking bass, surround sound with the detachable speakers to go behind you just a real good all in one sound bar i think
Now if you don’t have the budget you are gonna lose a lot of that bass and that surround sound effect that the JBL has to offer, but you will still get a full rich sound from the polk. IF you are in a small to medium space it will work well, it’s really loud and you can hear that bass it’s not JBL shaking but it’s still good and will shine better in a small to medium space for sure and I think disappointment in a large space
@@WannaBuyIt Thanks !, i think that a Sound Bar 2.1 could be a good deal; and another question, i was reading some commentaries about "JBL 2.1", is that better than "Polk Signa S2"?
For now if I was to rank theme from the videos I did
#1 JBL 5.1
#2 Polk Signa S2
#3 Bose Solo 5
Bose solo 5 lacking bass to help give it a fuller sound made for a small room because the lack of power of sound 👍🏾
@@WannaBuyIt all right 🤗 thank You so much for the recommendation
Would you recommend this one or the Samsung you reviewed?
Samsung I liked better
bar is not connected to subwofer :( :( .. how can I reset, or reconnect this bar?
Mine did not work out of the box, the sub as far as connecting to the bar. Turned on the TV the following day, and it worked, no issues to date, works like a champ. Love this bar, crystal clear sound.
@@michaelwright1602 thanks
@@halconosr Did yours ever get working?
@@michaelwright1602... yes, I disconnected power supply in both devices (bar and sub)... after thtat, I connec power supply again
The sub on my Signa S2 thumps on movies and TV programming. I had the bass turned up with Cinema mode on.
I ended up turning the bass down.
I use the S2 with a Sony UPB-X800 BD player (2018) and a Sony KD-55X750F 4k HDR tv (2018).
The one negative on my setup is the Dolby displaying a green light when watching a Dolby mixed movie over the air or with BD player. Also, I have had to unplug the power one time and the ARC cable one time, as the soundbar seemed to be confused when turning my tv on. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars overall. Otherwise, it has excellent sound with plenty of bass.
Good review. Thank you.
Thank you and also thank you for leaving a little review bud to help others looking into this product. I appreciate it
Is it possible to add an additional subwoofer wirelessly?
That I don’t k is hmm 🤔
Yes! I have two SVS SB3000 subs, you can hook them up wirelessly, there are more than a few kits out there. Emotiva, SVS Dayton Audio, they all sell them, and they do work. I only have one of those units and two subs, so I went with the cables. I used a simple 3.5mm male to a dual RCA out female cable. The 3.5mm end plugs into the headphone jack on the back of my 2017 Sony Bravia E800 TV. Then I plugged in the RCA cables to run to the subs. At the subs, I used these, from Amazon, around $50, the "FMOD Crossover Pair 50 Hz Low Pass" filters. These plug into the other end of the RCA cable to the sub, and then the crossover plugs into the sub RCA input. You need these crossovers so that the high frequencies from the TV are not sent to the sub. Without these crossovers, the subs will be speakers, not the sound you want. I tried using the crossover in the sub, no go, I needed these crossovers, they work. I would use these with the wireless setup too if you go that route.
Did ypu adjust the bass prior to the sound test?
Yes I put it on the best bass I could for the video.
Thanks for the review, I just bought it for $229 (same rice on amazon/your link). Where is this for $166?
no problem at all bud. I got mine from amazon as well must have been a deal at the time because I don't believe I used my amazon signature points on this product
Hopefully I'll get it for Christmas. Good thing I buy my presents...

My mom cursed my dad when they first married. He kept saying he wanted something, so she worked extra hours to save up. Then he went and bought it. I've done that one too
How do you disable the auto shut off?
Oh I have no clue bud. I have been looking and I can't find anything for the S2. I found a comment on best buy for their S1 product I will leave here for you. "Found a hack to disable the auto-shutoff. Press POWER button and VOLUME DOWN buttons on soundbar (not remote) simultaneously for 10 seconds. This seems to have disabled the auto shutoff for 4 hours, based on my initial test. The soundbar went to standby after 4 hours. This may be tolerable, but I'll continue testing.” - Bestbuy
Can I connect surround sound speakers to this?
I don't believe you can add extra speakers to this soundbar
I bought this sound bar at Best Buy for $149 on sale. I have a Samsung Q60T tv and I was able to connect it through HDMI eARC port and it sounded very rich and full. Two days later it disconnected from HDMI and I had to use the optical cable. The sound is still nice, but hdmi have it a much fuller sound. 1 month later, my tv won’t recognize the sound bar through hdmi. Tried all the trouble shooting you can think of and no luck.
dude that sucks sorry to hear that. can you get a replacement or is it to late?
Gna buy this to hook up to my LG CX! Cause damn those TV speakers just aint cutting it lol
Tv speakers are such a joke now a day. Forcing you to get soundbar and what not.
What was the movie you had playing in your review? Also I agree with the review, you have to turn the volume up a little high to know you have a subwoofer.
oh that was The Witcher on Netflix season two just came out few months ago as well. Thanks for watching my video bud
yoooooooooo wasgood 🤞🏼🤞🏼
What’s good bud
Why sold me on this unit is the price and the one button feature to turn down the bass (for the neighbors). My question is, is there a good place put the subwoofer so that you can feel the bass even if you lower the bass. I was thinking behind the couch.
before you buy bud. I got this other budget option might be a bit better and the bass is crazy on this one. Will be perfect for the King Kong vs Godzilla next week haha. ua-cam.com/video/xGr6utYH91Y/v-deo.html
@@WannaBuyIt I just purchased the Polk one your reviewed right now on amazon but I can still cancel the order. Do you recommend this one better than the Polk? And is there a big difference?
@@tamir5940 I think the Samsung soundbar is a bit better and the sub woofer is way better than polks
@@WannaBuyIt I’ll try it. It seems that the review for the Samsung is saying that if your not a sub woofer person, like I am, then the sound quality isn’t that good as the Polk. But I will take your word for it.
Among signa s2 Or zebronics 9700 which will be best choice as their prices range is close
i haven't heard the zebronics I don't want to give you the wrong info and lead you to the wrong speaker
If people don't like the bass you can always tune the bass box with polyfill, add or remove by stuffing the box with more or less of it. Super easy to do.
Thanks for dropping that for ppl
