Two years down the lane

I brought it in Jan 2020 Thinking about HK's reputation. Worked great for few months definitely had good experience until oct 2020 and then Subwoofer started showing signs of poor quality, would disconnect randomly and would not pair. Since then sitting in corner doing nothing.

3 HDMI ports for my projection and accessories

Is the best piece of equipment I?ve ever bought three HDMI ports for DVD player external TV component Blu-ray player Roku player I?ll have to be driven through one port in the back of the projector but the sound bar allows you to make multiple connections into a automatic switcher and the remote allows you to switch into any component that you want to us. I want to purchase another, now does anyone know where I can get one?

Waste of my time and Freight

I have had several Harman Kardon products over the years and I was really excited to get this one. I like the specs and both enclosures look well made. The box was large and it protected the items well. The bar had lots of scratches and the speaker on the sub was cracked. I made a go of it any way only to find that the speaker on the sub was indeed busted and only popped and cracked. The sound bar had nice clear sound but the volume would rise and fall. I contacted the customer service 2 times both they said they would have some one call me back but never happend. Creating a return was easy, I am shipping back today. If they credit me quickly then I guess I am only out my time and the $18.36 for freight. In truth it is bad that they shipped this product out in the first place and probably worst that they didn't call back.

Remote Just stopped working

My remote stopped working and there is no guidance on how to get it working again. What's the problem HK? This stuff is supposed to be the best, the most easy, the most lauded product lines in the industry.

Looks and sounds great, functionality not worth $

The look and sound is great but I miss changing sound modes for things like music versus movies versus talk shows. Sometimes I want more bass out of my music from the bar instead of also cranking up the sub-woofer and bothering neighbors. Also the auto-sound leveling mode goes low when I fast forward the DVR. Seems to work better than other brands for quieting commercials but not well enough for the MSRP. I'm glad I shopped Black Friday deals for this one.

SOUND QUALITY

SB 26 i BOUGHT THIS ALMOST 5 YEARS BACK I like the sound clarity very no words for that Later I decided to go for another familiar brand (2020Model so I sold this one to one of my friend and bought another one, the next day i return the new one to the shop and request my friend to return my SB26 (My friend was a nice guy :) ) I was so much disappointed when i start hearing the same songs on the new product .SB 26 is such a great product

Simple and awesome

I bought this six months ago and still love it. It’s an awesome sound bar easy to use and set up. Great quality and even better sound. The only thing is my phone will automatically connect and even at half volume it’s pretty loud. So when it’s on full blast it’s definitely a lot. Also there’s no way to keep others from connecting to the sound bar. If they are in range of the Bluetooth they can access it

Just perfect

Talk about price, performance and value. I bought the SB 26 last month and I'm very satisfied. The bass is great and performs well for movies and music.

Great design and sound

Sound bar looks amazing and sounds even better. The crisp sound and clarity is amazing you get the surround sound without having speakers everywhere. I was able to easily connect with with my phone as well. Love being able to control the base without a hassle.

Good compliment to my office TV

I'm happy with my purchase as it definitely enhances the sound quality when using with my office TV. I constructed a custom ledger board to support the soundbar as I have a wall mounted configuration. See Picture.

SB 26 - Set Up Instructions?

I was excited to make this purchase as it had been recommended to us by a family member. But the instructions for setup - in some 12 different languages - were really non existent. So I’ve tried repeatedly to get it working and to synch up the sound bar with the sub woofer. I’m about to call for professional help to get this installed and off my living room floor. Could you not have explained in 25-50 words how to set this up?

It's good!!!

Everything's good and the only concern here is the sound dropping sometimes without our intervention, not sure if this is a glitch? This is my first time purchasing a sound bar and someone with expertise could guide me if this is okay? Pros: - Built is good - Woofer also has enough bass - Comes with all the cables and needed accessories Cons: - The sound dropping sometimes without any manual intervention - HDMI cable is too short, should have been a little bit more lengthy

so-so

The provided ARC connector was to short for any connection. Purchased another only to find out the ARC feature does not work.

The best power sound I ever had in my bedroom

The product is pretty solid in appearance and design. The sound is the best on this unit in all ways, crisp clear, bass is making my wall tremble. Now, Connection HDMI ARC didn't work for my TV, for some reason there is no signal between the TV and the sound bar. Change to optical cable and everything is smooth. Didn't test the Bluetooth yet. Finally, it lacks of a small screen that can tell connections, volume, etc.

Great Sound Quality

The sound quality of the Harmon Kardon SB26 is fantastic. The only thing stopping a 5-star rating is that when you advance to the next track when using a music streaming service (Bluetooth, there is a brief silence before the music starts again. It is almost like fading in the music when advancing to the next track. This does not happen when listening on other Bluetooth speakers.

Great bass, but keeps cutting off

I bought this SB a few weeks ago and the sound is great, but just recently I started having issues with the sub cutting off randomly. Especially when the bass is intense.

Great sound

I bought this online a few weeks ago to upgrade the tv sound in my bedroom and it works wonderfully. Even better than expected. I will say that the instructions weren't super detailed just the same thing in many languages.
