Anyone have any recommendations on an affordable and quality sound bar? TIA

I purchased a Samsung HW-K450 2.1 Channel 300 Watt Wireless Audio Soundbar around Black Friday. I've enjoyed it. The sound is great and the subwoofer gives it a nice effect.

Samsung HW H550 user here, and it is pretty nice. Would definitely recommend.

I have the same sound bar. Works great at times but at random moments it gets a lisp. The end of every word, or sound clip, has a psssst to it. The first one I bought had the same thing so I returned it and brought this one home. It has it too. Not all of the time though. Hooked up to a Samsung TV

For this reason it never gets turned on so it's been a waste.

Go to WalMart and get the cheapest they have. I got one for my dad and it works great.

I got an $80 Vizio for outside TV. Works great.

Have a 3.1 system inside. You can get a very nice 3.1 system going for under $1000.

5.1/7.1 way overrated

2.0 is even better.

For music only maybe. But that subwoofer adds depth bro.

So far it's been great. Anyone else have any experiences with Polk products?

The bottom of these things actually work.



I think you'd be impressed with how well a nice 2.0 sounds for movies.

I have never had this problem. Mine is hooked up to a Vizio, so maybe that's it...

Yup. That's a good option at that price point.

I have a pretty cheap Sony, but I plug all of my devices into the speaker (Roku, Fire TV, PS4,etc)

Then the speaker goes to my tv and all of my devices are inputs on the speaker. So I have no issues with certain devices not working with speakers or enough HDMI inputs it's been my favorite one ever and I've had it over a year.

I probably bought "and returned" about 8 tradional soundbars
