Remote control doesn't work, the unit amplifys the volume on it's own out of no where, the power button doesn't work to turn the unit off, you have to umplug it, complete piece of garbage. Polk Audio? Never again

Super easy to set up and use at a great price point. The movie watching experience is totally enhanced with proper sound, something that a modern flat panel TV can't provide.

I read quite a few reviews and while most were as positive as I am about it. Surprised at the complaints about the remote and the bass levels. I’ve experienced none! This thing is awesome! And it is better than bars 2-3 times the price! Love Polk products! Highly recommend!!!

Great sound overall, but really wish it didnt disconnect from bluetooth and shut itself off every time my computer went to sleep. Waking the computer up, it does t auto reconnect (because the speakers are off). New proceedure sitting down at desk - manually power up speakers, wake up computer, load bluetooth settings, re-pair to computer. Also- it starts up with volume all the way down every time... sooo... meh.

I bought this set less than a year ago. First, the remote gave out, that thing just doesn’t want to work. So everytime you want to change volume, you have to get up. That volume is not impressive, especially given the fact that the subwoofer just gave out. It just sounds like a 6 liter V8 now. So no Polk Audio for me any more

The Polk Sound system came today and it was a great bargain. Perfect for our Condo as the subwoofer does not boom and disturb neighbors. The only complaint I have is that the optical cord was not included in the box although the printing on the box said it was included. I was lucky to have one so I could set up the sound bar. I am a bit peeved about the missing cable as I am a loyal costumer of Adorama. It should have been there. Other then that I am very happy with the purchase.

I love the sound of this unit and the Movie, Night and Music buttons work well to control the EQ quickly. I have three complaints though... 1. The remote and or IR receiver is not very effective. I'm forced to hold the remote 2' above and directly at the bar to get it to change. I'm guessing this is due to either the location of the IR receiver or the remote is underpowered, it only uses one AAA battery. 2. There is only one tiny white LED that indicates that the remote is doing anything. A small digital display for volume level would be nice. 3. The units timeout is too short. If I'm surfing for more than a minute and there's no sound going to the bar, it shuts off. I am satisfied with this sound bar for the quality of sound and would consider another one for our other TV's if these things are addressed but I couldn't have the remote control issue for our bedroom televisions.

I'm very much enjoying this sound bar. I would encourage Polk to put a bit more effort into the remote though. It takes a bit of concentrated effort to get it to engage with the bar. I'm only 8' away from it and I have to hold it above the level of the bar to get it to change volume, sound mode, voice adjust, etc. Fix that and make the new remote available at a discount to registered owners and you get 5 stars.

The tv speaker sound was being swallowed up in my 2,400 sq. ft. barn with 15' ceiling. Took a whopping 10 minutes to mount the sound bar & set the sub. WOW! For the money, you can't beat this system. Clear & LOUD!

Went in to Best Buy and listened to the sound bars on a rack that allows you to compare the bars they offer side by side. This bar had a better sound quality than bars 2-3 times the price. It took longer to unbox it than it did to set it up. Dialogue is easy to understand and sounds amazing watching live concert videos

I love everything about this sound bar —- except the remote. After extensive after-purchase research, it is apparently the only Polk sound bar that cannot be controlled by a universal (or cable or tv remote. Which means you have to use the included remote to both turn on/off the sound bar and any volume related action. This may not be as frustrating if the remote communicated better with the bar. Even with zero possible obstacles in the way, you have to point the remote exactly at the sound bar sensor and cannot, say, press the volume up button twice or more in rapid succession. Rather, you have to press once, very precisely, and deliberately. It’s a shame because the sound quality, crazy ease of set up and other features of the remote are truly top notch for the price!

I bought this S1 Today for my home office. The sound is awesome. I'm watching the Vikings and Saints playoffs and the sound is vert surprising. Can not wait to watch a movie.

Got this as a Christmas gift....took longer to pull out of the box than to set up. Sound is near movie theater quality.

200% satisfied , go for it without any second thought. Best in class , got it for 20k in India. Clarity and bass is great. HDMI slot would have been a great add-on. Am surprised to see that am the first user to review this great sound bar.
