Great soundbar with good bass!

This sound bar is pretty good!  Mine is set up in the bedroom and the JBL SB100's bass is perfect for regular television and movies.  It wasn't that difficult to get the sound bar to copy my universal TV remotes signal, for up/down/mute volume.  Power cord and left/right audio cord length was decent.  The optical audio cord though, fragile.  When moving the sound bar into position and juggling cords, the plug of the optical cord popped off (pop back on and still works).  The unit can put out regular listening volume or louder without any issues.

This sound bar has a great sound for a reasonable price. Our TV limited us to an OPTI-In connection and this sound bar has that option. We have bee using it for about a week and we are happy with it. It is true that it doesn't have the bass but the sound still is full - very satisfied with this item.

Bought this for my girlfriend and it sounds amazing! The volume does take a while to go up or down, but it does have a night mode which kills the bass so it won't wake the kids.  I wish it had a universal code though, but other than that it is a great sound bar with an optical cable that makes it so much easier to install.

I purchased this sound bar as a gift for my husband.  It arrived quickly and in good condition.  I had done some homework and knew that my TV used a coax audio cable for connections so I purchased the appropriate adapter when I purchased this item.
That is why I am giving it a 4 star rateing then a 5 because the unit did not come with the connectors for your TV.  Those have to be purchased seperatly.

Out of the box I had this sound bar hooked up in less then 5 minutes.  It was very easy and I am no wizard when it comes to setting audio equipment up!

This unit was set up directly under our 32" flat screen TV  and as far as I am concerned the sound is pretty darn good compared to the speakers on the TV.  HUGE difference.

If you are looking for a economic good sounding system, this is it!  Definatly worth the $88.88 price I paid!

Set up of the soundbar was as simple as I could imagine anyone could make it.  Power connected.  Optical cable connected.  Power on.  sound!  Sub power connected.  Hold the pairing buttons.  Sub has sound!  Connect the satelites.  Full 5.1 sound in less than 30 minutes!

The sound is great!  The surround sound is impressive on movies.  Less impressive on TV, but haven't tried anything but NFL games so far.

Blue tooth paring is very easy.  Have been streaming iHeart radio most of the afternoon.  No "fading" problems as others have reported.

The only problem I'm having is to get my cable remote to work with my Vizio tv.  I have my system set up per instructions.  Using optical cable and HDMI.  Cant seem to get the Vizio TV remote to work either.  Have some work to do there.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Highly recommend this soundbar.

Pros: Nice highs and mids, clear, crisp. Good looking soundbar. Bluetooth feature is great with easy pairing to any apple device. Had it running in minutes. Compact size (32" wide) which I needed for a 32" TV.

Cons: Highly recommend a subwoofer to make any decent base..

I paired this up with the Yamaha YST-SW012 and it really completes the setup. Just understand with any soundbar (unless it has a bulit-in subwoofer and even those aren't always the best), you will need sub to get the full range of sound.

You don't see many of these for sale used because it's a rare piece of quality in the shelf system world at a very reasonable price.  Excellent bass sound - even at low volume.  Good "oomph" with little distortion.  "Incredible Surround" really is pretty incredible (though it can put vocals too far in background at times).  I have my unit connected to my TV/VCR and although it doesn't have "true" surround, the sound is excellent and movies are much more enjoyable!  Speakers are solid (and heavy) and the whole system is easy on the eyes.  I've seen some of Philips' recent versions of this (i.e. the mc-50) and it seems quality has declined.  If you can find one - grab it!

This soundbar is excellent for its price. It is nice to have an all in one unit that deliver clear and distinct sound including effects. You can not expect it to match a full surround home theater system, but it does a nice job.

For best results you need to hook up the soundbar directly to your set top box and DVD player that produces the digital signal. I am an experienced home theater enthusiast an know for a fact that there are only a limited number of televisions that can pass through the digital signal. If you hook it up directly to your television you are more than likely only getting stereo sound even if the sound bar shows as surround. You need to check your television to see if it is capable of passing through a digital signal.

Great buy... and I did not even mentioning the set up ease and Bluetooth capabilities

I bought this SoundBar after reading multiple reviews and comparing other products.  I actually bought this because I had an Onkyo 7.1 System in my Condo and wanted something simple and small to take up less space etc.  The Yamaha System is as the other reviewers say plenty Loud for a small space. DO NOT expect 7.1 surround sound from this unit but this system does sound good and it accomplished what I needed just fine.  The set up for the system is extremely easy and I was up and running in 15 minutes.

I played some Blue Ray DVDs to test the sound and was impressed with what the small unit could do.  As also stated in the other reviews the Receiver/Subwoofer is really Loud!  I keep my sub at either 0 or 1 as going louder it can easily shake the room.  I'm also a gamer so after having the item for only a few days I have enjoyed my experience with what the unit can do.  Overall I would recommend this unit to anybody looking for improved sound without having to deal with all the setup, wires , and speakers from the larger systems.  Again DO NOT expect 7.1 surround but you can expect an easy setup, good quality, and lots of BASS if needed.  Not to mention the price is right!!!

Apex is not a high-end electronics manufacturer and that is reflected in their prices.  Based on previous Apex products, my expectations were not high, but nor were my needs--just something basic and better than the built in TV speakers.  Yet, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and performance of this sound bar.  It was a huge improvement over my TV rear-facing speakers.  The shape looks nice sitting on the TV stand, but is fully capable of mounting to the wall.  It's easy to set-up and sound is great. The various modes of sound make minor changes and I found that Movie mode provides the best bass response.  The volume is great and speakers are not over-driven to distortion.  Simple and responsive remote control for volume and modes. The Bluetooth feature works very well--paired quickly with my iPhone and allows me to stream my iHeart Radio app or my play list directly to the sound bar.  Great basic sound bar to replace TV speakers but will not please those who want theater-like surround experience with booming bass.

I bought the SoundBar to improve the poor sound quality on an otherwise excellent 22" Toshiba HDTV in my study.  I wanted good basic speakers with minimal footprint, hassle, wires, etc. The SoundBar has a solid mid-range (plus decent bass) sound and fits my need perfectly.  I've moved it behind the TV for esthetic reasons and there's no noticable decrease in sound quality.  It's certainly not a home theater replacement, but for the very reasonable Amazon pricetag ($50 when I purchased), it more than met my expectations.  Just FYI, I tested the SoundBar with my Dell Inspiron laptop and the sound quality and easy set-up are just as impressive.

This sound bar rocks!
I wish it would mount directly to the Vizio TV - that'd be sweet.

This sound bar sounds fantastic!  Very clear, and very very articulated.  Perfect 5.1.

On my Vizio TV, I had to change the audio output from PCM to Bitsream.  On PCM, the sound was not very separated (for lack of a better word).  Once I popped it over to bitstream, this thing sang.  I am using the Digital Optical cable.  Maybe with HDMI, it'd be different.

The setup was simple.

Best sound bar there is. Note this is an older model, I have not seen the new model. One unit, no separate speaker, but you get plenty of bass!

Purchased this soundbar to enhance the "tinny" sound from our new Samsung TV's internal speakers.  Soundbar sounds great!!  It really fills the 11x11' room with good bass tones and clear speech.  Good value!!

This sound bar and subwoofer combo is wayyy too good for the price! I have a Sceptre 43 4k TV and it connected immediately and i can use my tvs remote to control the sound bar. The bass is very good for small rooms and the difference in sound quality is actually night and day. Id recommend this sound bar to anyone.

I'm not an audiophile; I just wanted something better than the standard tv speakers. This actually fills my living room with great sound and does a good job with simulated surround sound. If you're looking for a cheap soundbar with decent quality, this is better than that.

The only gripe I have with it after a week of usage is the remote. There doesn't seem to be a way to map this to a universal remote, which is annoying.

I ended up returning this soundbar in exchange for one that I can map the remote to my Logitech Harmony 650. If you're trying to save money and you don't care about adding another remote to your arsenal, it's a good soundbar. I just hate having more than one remote lying around.
