The sound is pretty good but there's no surround effect, not at all easy to set up with the app, which is incomprehensible

Superb soundbar, truly high-quality materials, really great sound rendering whether in hi-fi or home cinema. Of course, adding a subwoofer is an undeniable plus, as well as 2 Surround speakers which add nice immersion.
It takes some time to adjust the settings on the Bluos app, but once you get the hang of it, it's great. I haven't explored everything yet. The sound is clear, clean, limpid, with impeccable dialogue.

Very good sound for movies and music. Not disappointed with this purchase. For now, no need for a subwoofer.
