• Quite impressed / Updated 12/15/09: Problem, December 4, 2009

By Robert A. Gould “B. Gould” (Northern Virginia)
No, you won’t confuse your listening experience of the SoundBar360 with an actual decent quality 5.1 surround sound system. But for what it is, the SoundBar360 is quite good – really. Most notable to me are: on the positive…very impressive low-end response in both volume and accuracy, and on the negative…no HDMI input. The result of the latter means that with my set-up, audio is fed (via optical cable) directly to the SoundBar360 from my DirecTV DVR, but my DirecTV HDMI video output must go straight to the TV bypassing the SoundBar360 – again, it has no HDMI input. Yes, it can accept component video, s-video, and even composite video, but this *is* the 21st century. Dollars to doughnuts Polk Audio’s next version will have the HDMI input. Anyway, clumsy set-up aside, the sound quality more than makes up for that – so…bottom line, I’m happy and satisfied with my purchase. After all, the sound quality is what we’re really going for here, yes? Recommended for most typical home applications.
Oops…almost forgot to mention the DVD player…no substantial complaints; high quality picture; again, I’m satisfied.

• 4.5 out of 5 stars, August 12, 2009

I did a lot of research on this item. I also purchased a separate receiver and Polk RTI A3 speakers. Using both setups in the same area I am going to stick with the SurroundBar 360. The RTI A3′s sound great, but the extra hassle of a separate center channel and a really complicated receiver setup became more than I wanted to deal with for this space.

The surround sound effects work well and the overall sound is very clean. I was very pleasantly surprised when I compared the SB360 directly to the RTI A3′s and a Harman Kardon receiver.
If you’re on the fence, don’t worry about it. This is a good purchase. You’ll be happy with the SB360.

• Great sound without the fuss, November 28, 2009

By Sean C. Sloan (St.Louis Mo)

Being an apartment dweller I didnt want big 5.1 sound that would have my neighbors pounding on the celling.This unit is a huge step up from my TV speakers and a great deal at its reduced price.Only has one HDMI,but 3 optical audio connections making it easy to attach a cable box or a PS3 that way.I dont have a solution yet on how to get an xbox 360 thru it,but Im still giving it some thought.I also agree with the reviewer,no need for a seperate sub,unit puts out nice sound.What more could you ask for?
