What reviewers say
33Giga and UOL found setup straightforward and praised clearer dialogue and stronger bass than their TV speakers. Both described useful everyday sound modes and convenient TV remote control. 33Giga liked Bass Boost enough to leave it enabled, while UOL highlighted the lack of Wi-Fi and an adjustment app; 33Giga also criticised the absence of Q-Symphony.
