I do a lot of research and would not consider myself a very technical listener . have say that I do like my music and movie loud and clear . I also need a low profile option as hang speaker be not a option . this soundbar be the best of the bunch . I do agree that if you be look for true surround sound go with the true surround sound 5.1 s. this be not for you . but if you be look for fill a average size room with quality sound , I would recommend this product . I also like the docking station feature . it be too bad it be not include . also , if you be handy and need to mount it under a shelf -lrb- below the tv -rrb- like I do , buy some `` l '' bracket from the hardware store and modify they as need . save the $ 60.00 that I see advertise .
