Good Entry level for people who want better than TV sound. There can be a little feedback when at the higher volume level but overall good quality and sound.

On the other hand, although the overall sound quality is an improvement over the TV speakers on my Sony Bravia, don’t expect something spectacular. (Again, keep in mind the price of this model.) And if bass is an important factor for you, perhaps consider a model with a subwoofer. This model has just three bass settings. Because I prefer higher emphasis of treble sounds, without heavy bass, I find I tend to use the music and voice settings the most often, with the bass at the lowest level, including for movies (versus the cinema setting). With my hearing loss, this seems to work best for me. Setup, by the way, was simple.
So, overall, four stars, based on expectations versus reality for this price point. Not spectacular--no “Wow!” factor. Just okay. But a decent choice in this price range. Would I purchase it again? Not sure. Would probably spend more money and upgrade, I think.

Good speaker to save space. Bass is strong for a built in. However dialogue can sometimes be muffled so need to adjust TV equaliser. Overall am very satisfied.

Good sound, but I wish it had more levels for the base option. It only has 3: none, normal, high.
Depending on the volume level, the speaker vibrates on the high base level.
But overall it has good quality sound
