I'm considering getting this. Does anyone have one? Currently $199 on Groupon.
What sound bar do you have/like?

The only thing is that it says it has Dual built-in subwoofers. They must be tiny little subwoofers.

Seems like a good deal but I would be hesitant to buy audio equipment without hearing it in person. I would see if you can demo it in person at a retail store before buying.
I wanted to get the SONOS play bar but it's $699 and doesn't even include a sub woofer. That's an additional $699!!!!- I know..I'm a little hesitant about the subwoofersdbloc
- I doubt they are subwoofers at all. Probably just "shakers" that fake a rumble but aren't moving any air.monospaced

^ I splurged on the Sonos sound system ..
2 Play:1 surround speakers
1 soundbar
1 subwoofer
and I gotta say its awesome ... Neighbors probably hate me

Not a fan of soundbars in general since they don't allow for any customization or upgrading. They include all the processing, power and speakers into a single unit, so if you ever get tired of the weak sound, you can't simply add better speakers. If the amp stops working, you can't just change the amp, and so on.
It's much more practical to have a standalone a/v receiver and L/C/R speakers, in my opinion.
Otherwise, many soundbars do actually sound good if you pony up for one with a decent pedigree, power and a separate sub. Just don't buy into the simulated surround, it's a gimmick that rarely works well.

That unit you posted is less than 1.5" tall. I can't even imagine a speaker sounding good with that kind of restriction, let alone a subwoofer.

They sound really nice, and he you want additional bass there is an optional wireless subwoofer that can easy be installed.

- I'm a Polk fan, so I'm biased toward their products. Good sound, usually accurate.monospaced

I was going to suggest that Polk sound bar above. It was designed to work with the Xbox One. I looked into getting one last year when I bought my Xbox but it didn't get very good reviews. They're half off now so it might be work looking into especially if you're a gamer but it looks pretty huge compared to other sound bars.
- Is that Soundbar Vintage?organicgrid

wow bigger than I thought
- that's what she...dbloc
- well, size does matter, you don't want a speaker that doesn't have the specs to actually make good soundmonospaced
