Panasonic - 3.1-Channel Soundbar System with 6-1/2" Wireless Subwoofer - Black

Great Product, clear sound system, one of the best, I always had in the past Panasonic surround system with 6 CD/DVD holders, very good

Got this as a deal of the day and for that price it more than exceeds my expectations. Sound is great and even at half volume it's still pretty ample. Just some minor flaws which are more annoyances than deal breakers; 1. If you don't mount it on the wall, you may want to place something under it to tilt it up so you can read the display and have the soundbar face you rather than up. 2. When cycling through inputs, it gets hung up on Bluetooth for a while to search for any nearby devices. Annoying if you mistakenly skip past the input you're looking for which is really easy to do. 3. The "TV" input is automatically assigned to the optical audio port and the "BD/DVD" is assigned to the HDMI. Not a big deal, but they should have had an option to label inputs since I run set top box (which doesn't have an optical audio out port) through HDMI and other players through the optical audio port. If I missed that option to label them, someone please let me know. Other than those minor annoyances, the sound bar is a winner and wireless subwoofer is a major plus.

Like many others here, I took a shot with this soundbar when it was offered as a deal of the day for $150. I had just bought an HDTV a couple of months before and while the sound on that was fine, I wanted to beef the sound up, and boy does this get the job done. Excellent sound, and its easy to set up. Also, as its Bluetooth enabled, you can listen to your music from your phone or tablet. Also, the design is nice and sleek. Overall, a great sound system, especially if you can get it on sale.

After 30 days of owning and using this Panasonic soundbar system I would definitely give it high marks for both affordability and sound quality, especially when listening to music (both via hdmi and over bluetooth). Although the listening experience is no where near that of a full blown home theater system it has done the job of which it was bought for by easily outperforming the weak speakers on my Samsung PN5500 series plasma. As already mentioned I am extremely satisfied with the audio quality when listening to music, the vocals are clear and the bass is adjustable so as not to be too overpowering. The HDMI ARC and CEC functions work perfectly with the television's controls and the soundbar's bluetooth has done an exceptional job of maintaining the connection even when constantly moving the paired device. I have been as far away as 40 ft, with a couple of walls in between, and have still kept the connection without a deterioration in the audio quality. I think the only complaint I will make is that, at least to this point, I have not been able to completely satisfy myself with the sound quality when watching movies, especially the background music as well as deeper sound effects. Even though the vocals are very clear, the mids and lows (bass from the sub) are somewhat weak I feel. Now all of these aspects are able to be tinkered with, which is a nice feat of this soundbar, but I still have not been able to get the system to where I would like it. However, this slight issue is not of huge concern since I am not using this system as a primary home theater and is mainly used to play music for which it has done a superb job so far. Overall, I would give this soundbar 4.5 stars if I could and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for both an aesthetically pleasing soundbar, it looks pretty sleek to me, as well as one with good to very good sound quality.

For me this was a step up in the sense that I was only relying on the speakers of my Sony Bravia, KDL-40Z5100. The way I have it set up is just under the Bravia like I see most sound bars are placed and the sub I have about ten feet away just beside the couch. I think it's nice to have the bass closer, but that's my opinion and it works for my living room. I would recommend it if you're looking for something basic and simple to set up- don't forget the optical cable too by the way. It only has one hdmi in and one out and the optical audio connection. So if your tv doesn't support the ARC feature it'll be useless. and you'll only get audio from your blu-ray or whatever hdmi out source you connect. I got it for the deal of the day price, which was about $150 plus tax and fees, etc. I think it's the right price instead of the $290 price it's going for right now. And it is pretty loud and does pack an assortment of sound modes like cinema and music, plus the bluetooth feature makes listening to music off my smartphone easy and convenient.

I bought this sound bar on sale and needed a simple system that would provide better sound than the standard speakers on my TV. This unit does the trick and will allow you to connect devices via Bluetooth to play music through it.

great sound, simple to set up and looks great also. the blue tooth connectivity function worked perfectly for streaming music through portable devices

The sound quality is much better than that on my TV speakers. After three weeks the volume decreased, but this may be due to the cable company that provides service; the audio level was poor at times prior to this purchase.
