Polk React Sound Bar with Hands-Free Amazon Alexa Voice Control Built-in and Virtual Dolby Atmos Surround Sound

I previously tried a different brand sound bar with Alexa that was less expensive and had issues connecting to network. I use a separate vlan for IoT devices and suspect that was the issue, but the bar may have been defective. Either way, this one connected through the Alexa app instantly and works perfect. Connected to TV at first without the subwoofer and was really impressed by the sound from this bar. Great sound and surprising bass overall for as small and inexpensive as it is. Connecting to the sub took maybe 30 seconds and it added a lot on the low end. Alexa works just like any of my other echos, listens well and responds accurately. When I change sound mode she speaks the mode but it is not loud and looks like they fixed that issue. Sound is pretty good for a sound bar, definitely built for vocals. Lots of mids which is not the best for listening to music if you are looking for audiophile quality but I have no complaints. TV dialog is much clearer than TV speakers and the sub adds great bass extension. Remote is nice, recessed buttons are a bit odd but it works good and doesn't feel cheap. Only wish I had was there was better settings control in the app that would match the ability of a regular echo. Limited but not limiting. Overall highly recommend and would definitely purchase again.

Esta genial y mas si le agregas el subwoofer y las bocinas extras inalámbricas al principio se subia solo el volumen al máximo sin yo moverla a nada me imagino que una vez que se actualiza la alexa interna ya no me dio ese problema pero si la recomiendo ampliamente

My journey to find a worthy successor to my Signa S2 was longer than originally anticipated but thanks to amazon's amazing return policy, I was finally able to find the soundbar I was looking for. At first I tried a Signa S4, while it was clearer and more detailed than the Signa S2, the bass was severely lacking. The Polk Audio React soundbar is nice and clear, a surprising amount of bass from just the soundbar. I picked up the matching subwoofer and well... To say I was impressed is quite the understatement. The subwoofer makes a huge difference, definitely worth keeping an eye out for sales. The Sr2 rear speakers that turn this modular system into 5.1 surround sound really complete the set and absolutely blew my mind. It's everything I was looking for and more. I couldn't be happier. As for Alexa being built in, I don't even bother with it since I've got a full sized echo device already in the living room.

I have been a fan of Polk Audio for a while now and this med level performance speaker does not disappoint. The Alexa compatibility along with a solid little remote makes for easy listening. The 4 listening modes actually do create different listening experiences. If your looking to enter the sound bar market this one is worth your time.

1. First of all, with or without Alexa, this sound bar is worth it. It blows away the "tinny" empty sound of most built in TV speakers. The increase in bass is quite obvious, but so is the mid-range and treble and it has much more depth. Speech is much more clear. Great for everyone including 2 family members who have mild hearing impairments. Variety of adjustments available is excellent which should be capable of meeting just about anyone's needs. 2. I used the HDMI ARC connection. I had to switch my satellite input from HDMI ARC to HDMI 2. Once I did this everything just coordinated itself including switching my TV speakers off and using my TV remote for the soundbar. Very simple to hook up in a matter of minutes. 3. Almost instant connection to Alexa and my wifi. I had no problems mentioned in other posts. Tiny light in front of bar on is no distraction as far as I'm concerned and Alexa only speaks to me when I need. Great integration with Alexa. Needless to say, I am very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it!
