Great for movies and playing music
The sound and bass it provides in so awesome.
It gives quality theater sound.
Worth every penny.
So happy with this purchase.
This Polk soundbar fits in well and unobtrusively on the table below the tv. The one subwoofer is out of sight but still involved. In terms of form it is perfect for me. It functions well, picks up WiFi and connects without issues when it’s plugged out. If you’re looking for compact, wireless, ease of use and affordability, I would highly recommend.
Great sound from the bar paired with woofer, above average as a standalone.
Roku, Prime Music, YouTube karaoke, it sounds great on all!
Chromecast is a great bonus and I use it all the time to stream Spotify. I am a big Polk fan. Polk always offers massive bang for the buck. Treble is great and the subwoofer sounds better than it should for the size and price.
I was considering going back to some tower speakers but didn't really want to get into that for where it's located and I'm thrilled enough with this product to skip that plan. Great work, Polk!
WOW!!!!! I was in the market for quality sound and was almost going to pay that high price tag until I saw a review on here from an ole school soul individual that knows sound. He saved me almost $900.
I plugged her in and she paired herself so very easy set up…
First test was pandora… I went to jazz, R&B , country,l and even used the Bluetooth compatibility and connected my record player…. I almost flew off my couch!!!! I do not have a huge living room but it’s not small. And I could HEAR the music. I went outside onto my back patio and I could not only hear and feel the music but I could hear the words with volume at 25!!! Very impressed.
My ultimate test for all of my surround sound devices is TRANSFORMERS. I put it on the movie setting and it was like I was sitting in the theater. You could hear every glass breaking,car crashing, gears when transforming. SPEECHLESS!!! Even my 22 mo old grandson stopped and sat down to watch (and it wasn’t Ms Rachel!!!!!
Definitely worth the buy and works very well for the money. Ans im ordering another one for my bedroom.
I bought this as a replacement for a Bose Acoustimass system that was in use for the last 15 years. It was an old school analog system with the huge bass speaker. I was using a signal converter to hook it up to the tv. I love Bose products but I really wanted to move to the next level of sound quality for movies. The Polk S4 has every feature you could want and nothing you don’t. The sound during a movie with Dolby Atmos is shocking. It literally fills the room with sound. The ability to boost voices is a real plus. Overall I don’t think there’s any reason to replace this speaker anytime soon. It really is as great as the reviews all say.
It's my first experience with DTS:X/Atmos and I'm impressed for the cost. Probably the most stand out feature by far is the voice amplifier; we've all played shows/movies where the vocals are either too soft or too loud, this always makes voices crystal clear even in quieter movies or action packed scenes with movies; I'd always have to play with subtitles, especially older titles as you'd often have to increase the audio to hear anything. This feature does a great job of amplifying vocals without blowing up the other audio.
It's also truly plug and play. While there's no EQ adjustment, it sounded great out of the box. I personally just increased the bass a bit.
Now on to Atmos/Virtual DTS. Compared to my decade old Dolby audio soundbar, it does an admirable job "virtualizing" sound from left/right/above you. Is it going to perform as well as a true 3.1.2 system with dedicated speakers? No! However for a bedroom or something it's just about perfect.
It has simple indicators that tell you if something is playing through Dolby/DTS (green) Atmos (cyan) and stereo. (blue) Depending on your source (Netflix, or supported show, it will adjust automatically to the highest available output)
It's a shame the virtual technology hasn't really improved that much from a decade ago, but really you're never going to get that "true" surround sound experience without multiple speakers.
For smaller spaces, apartments, etc, it's going to perform very well. For large entertainment rooms, you'd be better off with true multi speaker setups.
With that said it's very loud. I keep it around 20/100 for a master bedroom. I could see it filling a larger space very easily if needed. It also "upscales" most stereo sound from older movies/shows to Dolby which is a nice touch. (Although not a novel feature, basically just levels the audio)
Polk always delivers high quality audio, just don't expect a true "theater" experience with just a soundbar and subwoofer.
i have a samsung sound bar in my bedroom and although it does it's job well enough, i feel like this one definitely outperforms it in functionality, quality and aesthetic. when/if this one stops working i'm definitely ordering this brand again.
The sound bar comes with a little remote that allows you to turn the different sound profiles on and off. I installed it so that my TV remote is used for the master volume, but I still need the little one for the sound profiles and bass. The only thing is, sometimes it's not clear which sound profile is active. And for fine tuning adjustments late at night with the master volume kinda low, sometimes I'll click a button for one and I'm not even sure if I just turned it on or off because I'm not sure if it started up with my previous settings. The only indicator to what sound settings you currently have active is that the 4th light on the sound bar flashes purple once for any sound profile or voice adjust input. It would be nice if the light changed somehow to more clearly indicate if something was on or off or which profile you were using. Or... Even better... Give me an app that tells me my current settings and lets me change them!! Then I don't need to use the sound bar remote at all! If I have that feature on a very inexpensive diy LED backlighting setup, then it shouldn't be hard or pricey for Polk to add that feature to its soundbars.
compatible with my Samsung. Enjoying the dynamics of sound while watching movies and Listening to music. Also, the clarity, power of sound and background affects. I would recommend the enjoyment of this sound system.
Super easy to set up, no problems at all, it just worked.
It is also very nice to be able to stream music from my phone to the soundbar. Perfect for a dinner with friends playlist at lower volumes and a full-on trance festival at high volumes.
Super pleased!
We sacrificed a couple of rear satellite speakers, but haven't missed them.
I picked up a third-party e-Arc cable and was very glad I did! Being able to use my TV remote to control the soundbar on the day-to-day is super convenient. I haven't messed much with other setting, but for watching football, shows, and movies it does great out of the box. I appreciate how all the cables and plug-ins are just the right size and not bulky on the plug end or overly long for where we have the TV sitting. I read or heard somewhere that a surprising place these Polk systems Excel in is straight music - and the occasions where soundtracks will just push the score forward and not have all the sound effects and explosions going on, it catches you off guard how HUGE the symphony sounds. On the standard, I would say the bar strives to be accurate to the media on the screen- I mean it's not boosting certain sound effects or pushing around EQ much. So maybe for some it would sound a little subdued, but when the media pushes extra sound out the bar and sub can combine for something really great. That's also a surprising thing about the thin sub. It's very non-intrusive until you need Iron Man to launch something crazy out of the sky.
Everything feels well assembled. We have been very happy for several months.
When i turned it on, the sound quality was noticeably better than even the Bluedee. Rich and deep bass with far superior voice clarity. Overall louder too, with volume that will give the floor-rattling theater experience. I'm sure there are other bars that will go louder, but for a medium-sized living room, this unit gives sound that demands respect. Polk makes a great product. I purchased my other identical bar 2 years ago to the month, and it has functioned perfectly.
As I live in an apartment, now, my previous 5-channel system was too loud to get clear voices, so I was using the TV speakers to avoid annoying my neighbors.
I decided this is a compromise, and this is capable of way more bass than I need, the voices clear. Perfect solution for quality sound that is easy to control.
Great set up for movies. Sounds really cool during a NASCAR race. I would recommend.
Edit to Add : Tried the Bluetooth function a few days ago by pressing the BT icon on the top of the sound bar, then paired it with my iPhone. I opened the SIRIUS XM app on my phone, tuned into the wifey's favorite Classic Rock station, and cranked it up while she cleaned house before company arrived. The jams filled the family room with Led Zeppelin, and she was rockin' in no time. This was just icing on the proverbial sound bar cake - more than pleased with this purchase.
Love the product and has earned its nearly 5 star rating. That plus the unexpected delivery makes this a no brainer. Great job Amazon!
However you'll enjoy HDR quality sound which fills your room. I found the sweet spot at volume level 60% - its not overwhelming yet voice and background music which enhances your movie viewing experience receives crisp highs and midrange. The bass introduces you to deep tones of foot steps and various action sound effects.
Granted I could have dug deep and purchased a $500+ combo set but why when this $159.00 set is surprisingly a great product.
Again - This not a room shaking product, your adding quality sound to enhance your TV's weak azz speakers.
Enjoy -'While they're still available at a discounted price point.
It is also easy to use. There are various adjustments that can be made with the sound bar remote, but once these were made we only use the TV remote. The sound bar appears to go into sleep mode when the TV is off and comes back on when the TV is turned on. It is compatible with Dolby 2.1 content, but it cannot be upgraded with additional speakers.
There are five inconspicuous buttons on the top of the sound bar: on/off, source selection, Bluetooth on/off, volume down, and volume up. Bluetooth is used for playing sound from other sources like a smart phone. These buttons also appear on the sound bar remote along with other buttons for mode selections. There are three sound buttons: Movie, Night, and Music. We use the Movie mode mostly as it “expands” the soft and loud sounds as if in a movie theater but with 2.1 speakers. The Night mode “compresses” the sound levels, making “quiets” a little louder and “louds” a little lower. This mode is good for late night listening with the sound turned down so that others aren’t disturbed by loud explosions and you can still hear the “quiet” portions. The final sound mode, Music, is for listening to music with the frequencies set at a more equal distribution.
There are also three buttons for Voice Adjustment. These adjust the voice frequencies to make voices easier to understand. At the highest level, number 3, we can tell that voices are much clearer but they sound somewhat unnatural. Consequently, we normally use level 1 and occasionally level 2 when necessary.
There are a series of lights on the front screen to indicate operation and when modes are selected. The main light comes on when the sound bar is in operation and goes off when it goes into sleep mode. This is a soft light and I do not notice it when watching the TV. The color changes whenever the Dolby 2.1 signal is received and being used. Other lights on the front will turn on momentarily whenever a new mode or source is selected to indicate that the signal has been received and the change made. There is also a light that comes on when Bluetooth is turned on. This goes off when Bluetooth is turned off or when Bluetooth goes into sleep mode if it is not in use for more than 15 minutes. Note, the auto sleep mode is not the default and this option has to be manually selected to be in use.
This sound bar produces much better sound than the TV speakers and requires little attention once the adjustments are set; we mostly use the TV remote. My only criticism regards adjusting the subwoofer levels. The subwoofer has bass minus and plus adjustment buttons on the remote but, unlike the other mode adjustments, there is no visual indication that anything is happening when this is used. There isn’t even an indicator that it is wirelessly linked except for the lights used when manually connecting it. The bass can be adjusted up to the point that deep voices and drums rattle items on the shelves in the room. When adjusted down to reduce such rattles we have no way of knowing if we are at a mid or lowest level. The bass can be adjusted to what is being listened to, but it would be nice to know the actual setting so that a “standardized” level could be selected for particular circumstances.
Now that that's out of the way:
I've been using an A/V receiver and hi-fi speakers for a 3.0 (front right, left, center) experience. The problem is, with an over-the-air antenna with TiVo DVR, Roku, smart TV, and disc player, it's gotten very complicated. I turned to the Polk Signa 2 soundbar to help simplify things.
Setup was easy. I used the supplied HDMI-ARC connection on my TV, plugged in the soundbar and "sub-woofer" to the wall, and that was that.
I was really impressed with the quality of the sound, even at high levels. It plays much louder than I expected and still delivers clean sound. The dialogue enhancement settings give me clearer dialogue on modern movies than my previous center channel speaker delivered.
The soundbar comes on automatically when the TV is turned on and it goes off when the TV is turned off. Any remote that controls the TV volume will automatically control the soundbar volume. Couldn't be easier!
The "sub-woofer" is really a powered woofer. The speaker is 5.25" in diameter, powered by a 60-watt built-in amp. It delivers good bass at satisfyingly loud levels but calling it a "sub-woofer" is stretching the definition. Still, the sound is much better than you get from a television's built-in speaker and plenty good enough for this hi-fi enthusiast.
The soundbar is quite short, barely more than 2" high, which means it fits very nicely under my LG television on legs on a shelf. It looks as if it came with the TV. The wireless woofer can sit about anywhere but sounds best on the same wall as the TV.
Anybody can make a soundbar but I chose Polk because of their hi-fi reputation. I'm very happy with my choice.
Now, some notes for those who have had trouble getting the soundbar to work.
Make sure you're using an HDMI-ARC connection on your television. That "ARC" is critical. Not every HDMI connection is "ARC," which means Audio Return Channel. It should be marked as such. If you don't have an HDMI-ARC connection, you can use an optical connection or Bluetooth, but you'll lose some features like auto-on.
Use the supplied high speed HDMI cable. Don't use an old HDMI cable. They've gotten better over the years.
Remember to change the "sound output" setting on your TV. It must be set to output sound to the HDMI-ARC connection, or to the optical or Bluetooth outputs if that's what you're using.
It works from your TV, so it doesn't matter what sources you use for programming. However, the soundbar will take up one HDMI connection on your TV. If you have a lot of sources plugged into your TV, you may come up short on HDMI inputs.
The sound out of this Polk sound bar was awesome and the remote bass woofer added a total new sensation to watching TV.
Very pleased. Easy Install and works great with the HDMI(arc) input
This unit fills the room and then some. I first tried it hooked up as bluetooth - the sound was good but not as good as if you connect via optical (which is true of any unit). The down side to using optical is that you have to control the audio using the remote and NOT the tv's remote. I have a Harmony ultimate remote so it was no problem to program in the sound bar. Anyway, with a $10 set of brackets I found on Amazon I was able to mount the bar directly to the back of my samsung tv and have it hang down underneath. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the bass especially when you consider that it is a wireless device.
For my specific use case I am thrilled with this device.
1. Setup: Basically plug-n-play in regards to the basic set up. Instructions are very clear regardless of what connection you make between the TV and the bar; I used the optical 'cable', plugged in the bar, plugged in the base, turned on the TV and it worked like a charm. One of the things I liked right way was the bar turned on and off with the TV. There is one little issue with this if you use it with Google Home (or Alexa) for music; it may through the on-off sync between the bar and tv off (when you turn the TV on the bar goes off and vice-versa). To compensate for this I also set up my Dish remote's aux function to operate the bar.
2. Google Home integration: Took about 5 seconds using the Google Home app. Through the app or voice commands (phone, Dish remote, Nest mini, etc.), you can play your favorite music; we use Spotify and it works great.
3. Sound quality: Sound quality is excellent and comparible to old, more expensive Bose sound bar it replaced.
Overall, we are very happy with this bar from all aspects and would highly recommend it.
Many reviewers pointed out the great sound quality but lack of a decent remote. I completely agree but the trick is to set it up to your liking using the remote the first time then put the remote away and just use the TV or streaming box remote to control the volume.
The sound is truly crisp and clear and you can feel the power behind it. The sub is not the deepest (its perfectly fine for a home theater) but if positioned well is a fantastic compliment to the system. It was very easy to setup as it is pre-linked to the soundbar from the factory. Simply plug it in somewhere and they will talk to each other.
You wont regret buying this. Hope this helps.
We have, since first review, tried and succeeded in getting our Google speaker (Google Assistant) to cast its music to the Polk Signa S3 Soundbar/subwoofer - which is precisely why I anted up for the S3 model. (The secret seems to be to assign a name to the soundbar as a device, in my case 'Living Room Speaker', using the Google Home app (done on my phone) and then you can use a voice command to just tell Ms Google 'OK Google, play music on the Living Room Speaker'). Anyway, that wifi access is a feature of the S3 level of this Polk product - very happy with that feature. (If I have this correctly, this works because the Google Assistant device and the Polk device are on the same wifi router - I don't know that it works of you have one on 2.4GHz and the other on your 5GHz, just sayin'.)
We stream a lot of music from YouTube on the Sony Smart TV, also, so having the Polk Signa for that is a big upgrade from the TV speakers. Love this soundbar, incl the bluetooth access and wifi access, and would definitely buy this Signa S3 again. I had in mind a $300 budget while shopping for such a device and I'm very happy to have come in under budget with a great audio outcome.

We haven't tried the access from our Google Assistant/Speaker yet, but very happy with this Soundbar/Subwoofer set. I first set it up on our LG Smart UHD with the ARC HDMI connection to try it out. It went so smoothly and easily (the LG TV setup has a selection to route audio to the ARC HDMI port) - this went so quickly that I decided to plug in the Subwoofer also to see how that went and bingo - came right on line (subwoofer has a button in back to press to sync with soundbar). But that LG system of ours normally is optical audio out to a stereo with our BIG JBLs (quad 10" :) so I then moved the Polk to our Sony Bravia, also using ARC HDMI for audio connection. For the Sony, no TV Setting selection change was required - Sony just routed the audio out ARC HDMI once the Polk soundbar was plugged in and powered up. Had the same quick success with subwoofer - came on line immediately after button push on the back of subwoofer speaker. The Sony TV and our Xfinity Cable/DVR remotes both cause the soundbar to power up/down when 1/0 pressed on remote. They also control the volume on the soundbar appropriately. (Of course, the Polk remote still controls audio properly, also.)
Bluetooth came up and worked easily. Will update once we've experimented with bluetooth and Google Assistant access.
I see in the manual, page 4, that there is a way to disable the auto-standby feature which many purchasers seem to complain about. I have not played with that (hold down Night Mode button for 5+ seconds).
BTW, I love that for both the soundbar and subwoofer, the power cords plug right into the box with NO bricks - I hate bricks (aka, external transformers).
Maybe it’s just me but I triple checked all the measurements to fit perfectly and this was the only one that fit my needs. I’m amazed with the quality of the sound and bass! I’m using the ARC HDMI audio connection so as soon as I turn my PS4 on, the TV turns on, and so does the sound bar. I use the TV remote to lower the volume so no extra remotes are needed but are provided. The instructions are so clear Ray Charles could’ve wired everything up.
I’ll be updating if anything changes. But I’ve got a good feeling. So if there isn’t an update, I still stand by my first initial review.
This unit is not home theater sound but what a difference from the TV speakers on this Samsung 65" television. The wireless subwoofer synced to the soundbar immediately. There is bass and adjustment on the remote control but not on the subwoofer itself. Thought that might be an issue but once I set the volume to where I wanted it - it was good enough to keep it there no matter how loud or soft I played the soundbar. Setup was a snap - the HDMI ARC synced flawlessly to the TV. I did not hook up the digital audio cable but I could plug it in anytime. The Bluetooth synced great to my phone and iPad and the streaming music sounded crisp and clean. My expectations were exceeded. Again, it's not a home theater system but Polk didn't intend this to be. For the family room television, it is perfect
I have to say this system sounds phenomenal. I was worried because we have an open floorplan and our living room and kitchen make a pretty large space. Approx 30ft x 15ft but boy was I surprised. This system really has some volume. I started by streaming some music from amazon and it sounded great. Nice bass no distortion and the music filled the room with no problems. Sound quality vs price would give this system a 5 out of 5 rating.
Setup was a breeze. You just put 2 screws in the wall (use drywall anchors if you cant hit studs) and it slides right on. Template is included if you need it to layout the holes.
The ARC input allows me to control the volume with my cable remote and it powers on the system seamlessly. 5 out of 5 there as well.
Only negatives I can think of are limited sound customizations there are only 3 preset sound modes and 3 voice levels to choose from. Also the remote is lackluster. For the price these are non issues for me.
I would rwcommend this system to anyone.
