Philips HTL3110B/F7 Soundbar Speaker (Black)

Good= I am giving it three stars because it is a beautiful system that fits perfectly in my room.Bad= The sub woofer don't work, I have been online, looking things up, but there is no light, the piece doesn't work and when you buy something new, you don't think they will send you something defective. Thing is, the rest of the system sounds good, so that is why I gave three stars even though I have to try to send this piece back and I ordered it online, my fault for trying to save a few bucks.

Using this in my living room area, which measures around 15'x25'. The sound is very clear, rich, and fills the room nicely. I was very pleased with the subwoofer's deep and round bass. If your room is much bigger perhaps you might want a bigger unit. Has 5-6 different equalizer settings like powerful, clear, balanced etc and I play everything from classical music to rock to movies and it handled it very well. It has digital and hdmi connections. Setup with my bluetooth phone took seconds. Only "minus" is the bluetooth range is 12-15 feet so if my phone is on the other side of the room it can introduce a bit of interference, but I think that's pretty minor issue. Overall this is a great unit for the price!

Well, I decided to gift my wife a soundbar, that is easy to setup and simple to use. But, that doesn't seem to match well with the choice of getting this soundbar.+ Easy to setup(Of course, only the main unit)+ Simple remote+ Decent sound for the price- Setting up the Subwoofer- Interference with the WiFi signalComing to the bad thingsBiggest problem is setting up the Subwoofer at right location/distance from the main unit.. I tried placing the Subwoofer in many different places. It never used to have a stable connection with the main unit. Finally found something that the instruction manual talks about the recommended position to place the Subwoofer. I kept the Subwoofer close enough(3 feet with +2/-2 inches) to the main unit it started getting the stable connection. Even deviating few inches seems to cause trouble. When this setup worked, I never dared to try experimenting. I noticed, the bluetooth connection from the iPhone drops sometimes, when the Subwoofer is struggling for the stable connection with main unit. After placing the Subwoofer at right place, the phone never got disconnected and seems to work well. I am not 100 percent sure if this is true; but based on my observation since setting up this Soundbar, definitely there is some problem that keeps the main unit to drop the bluetooth connection with your Bluetooth input. Hope this shouldn't be the case with AUX or other input sources.Next problem is, when you power-on the main unit, it does take a while for the Subwoofer to connect with the main unit. sometimes even it takes more than 10 mins. That is annoying and spoils the fun.The final problem: It does gets interfere with the WiFi router. My tests showed, the Wifi speed drops drastically near the unit. Unit lives in the living room and iPhone shows <5Mbps in living room; whereas in bedroom the speed goes more than 30Mbps. Turning off the unit, does improve the things little bit. I haven't tried unplugging the unit completely, before testing the speed. But, definitely there is some interference with the WiFi.Final thoughtsNevertheless, the soundbar does its jobs of producing a decent sound. My wife does enjoys listening music and except for Subwoofer-> main unit connection complaint, she's happy wiht the Soundbar. The volume is loud enough for the small sized room. The Subwoofer is not so great, but far better than the plain TV. You could feel the subwoofer playing the role of generating those low frequency sound. This is a good soundbar, provided you got the right setup. Otherwise, it is a nightmare and doesn't score well.For the price, it is a decent Soundbar with reasonably good sound.

Very disappointed with this item.Sound was very poor, subwoofer seemed to drop out repeatedly. Had to turn bass down as low as possible to watch TV, because the subwoofer dropping out was highly distracting.Audio wouldn't stay in sync with video, despite repeated attempts to adjust using built-in in sync feature. Would adjust, it would seem to be back in sync -- but within moments, it would suddenly be way out of sync again.Music played via any input would skip, whether streaming or being played directly from a device.Bluetooth (one of the reasons I bought this item) would not stay connected when the device was turned on -- but would automatically connect to my phone as soon as the soundbar was turned off. And then when I would turn the bar back on, it would disconnect!Trying to return as defective but I stupidly threw away the packaging before realizing it was a total waste of money. Surprised because it has a 4-star rating. Lesson learned to read all the 1-star reviews, as those described exactly what I experienced with this stinker.
