Decent sound bar for the money. It's capable of a lot of loudness & audio seems clear across the range, but it's only 2.1 so virtual surround isn't as enveloping as it could be. You also won't get any really booming bass from it but music sounds fine. Still a strong upgrade over built-in speakers, & connecting it to a LG TV was nice & easy using ARC, plus it will switch itself on & off automatically with the TV set so no extra remote is needed. It does have a power LED on the front but it's small & unobtrusive; won't glare in your eyes.
