Upon bringing this soundbar home and connecting it I was in love. This little bad boy along with the subwoofer pumps out great sound and bass; made my windows and various other things around my house shake/tremble. Using the ARC connection method, the soundbar has its own on screen menu to select which HDMI port you want (cablebox, PS4, or other). This sometimes get glitchy while watching tv through my cablebox and automatically goes back to the screen menu with USB selected. Not sure why, I don't have anything connected to the USB port. Bringing up the home screen to switch to another HDMI port can sometimes be very slow; one method around this is switching HDMI ports via your smart phone (after you download the app). Another thing that's quite annoying is depending on the timing of the tv and soundbar turning on, sound will come from both causing an annoying echo. My Sony smart tv will normally detect the soundbar and switch sound to there; however sometimes it doesn't and we get the echo. I have a feeling this is an error on my part. In order to minimize the number of remote controls, I programmed my Comcast remote to power up the cable box, tv, and soundbar all from the same button. This might confuse the tv on where to direct the sound. Also, I didn't really like the sound quality while playing music from my phone via Bluetooth. Gave a grainy, AM radio type of sound. But I just play music from my Pandora app on my smart tv and that sounds great.
Overall, its a great soundbar! Can't say I was happy with the price though, but I guess you get what you paid for.

Definitive Technology W Studio Soundbar: Feel like you're right in the middle of all the action with the surround sound and deep, powerful bass. The slim design complements any home theater setup, and the subwoofer can be placed out of the way thanks to its wireless capabilities.

I got this product after having to return my Sony HT-ST7 soundbar after one of the speakers broke. I was preferential to the Sony soundbar and wanted to exchange it for another of the same but was told that soundbar was discontinued. The salesperson told me this was a very popular product and was a much better soundbar with richer sound and the ability to add-on additional speakers. I took his advice and went with this soundbar. They gave me a one for one exchange (the DT W Studio soundbar was apparently $200 more expensive). However immediately upon connecting it I did not like it. Personally I felt the sound was not as good of quality as the Sony (before it made the continuous crackling sound). I was also disappointed that this soundbar did not have ARC connection. This was a big thing for me as I have a smart tv with lots of apps. I tested the cable box, ps4/blu-ray player through the soundbar using both HDMI and optical and was still not impressed. I ended up returning this and buying a Sony HT-ST9. It cost several hundred dollars more but I was much more pleased with the sound quality, bass, and options. Other owners of this soundbar might feel different; however, like I said, I personally did not like it.
