    • Very Important Tip
Style: Soundbar
UPDATE 4-15-22: I found a switch (that I don't recall now) on my iPhone and iPad that enabled me to play Apple Airplay through the Polk React, that is a non-issue now. Otherwise, my review stands as is. I've had the Polk React for over a week. I replaced a Sonos Beam and my review perspective is based on that. BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT: I want to give the Polk React 5 stars, but in good conscience cannot give more than 4 due to sound quality and not being compatible with the Apple TV streaming device for Apple Airplay. I cover these below. SETUP AND CONNECTION: I was nervous, I read it was easy, but had a bad experience with the first generation Sonos Beam with Alexa. That process was horrible, taking two hours to get it right. Then the Beam needed updating, which had to be hard-wired to the router to do, causing a total reset of the Beam and another two hours to restore. Happily, the advertised setup/connection of the Polk React was exactly as stated. Plug it into a power source and HDMI to the TV's HDMI/ARC jack, and within 30 seconds the React was connected to Alexa, where I went to it’s app to do final setup. Full process, including plugging in — 2 minutes and I had full (for me enhanced) Alexa capability, including streaming music. I never entered a user ID nor password, the Alexa app handled it all. Which brings me to this VERY IMPORTANT TIP: I did not catch this when ordering from Amazon, but there is a note on the right side lower ordering block, a box with a blue check for Amazon to link the device to your account. That was the key to the ultra-fast hands-free connection. I did a mock reordering and happily discovered that was the default position for an Amazon React order. DON'T UNCHECK THAT unless you want a more hands-on connection process. SOUND: Disclaimer — I have tinnitus in both ears plus a 15% hearing loss. However, I have to give the edge for sound to the Sonos Beam, which was a bit more high fidelity IMHO. I have tried the various sound options on the remote control. Frankly I couldn’t discern a noticeable difference. The voice control (AKA treble) made no noticeable difference, I almost agree with another reviewer who suggested the React didn’t sound too much different from their TV's Internal speakers. The React does, but not much. Except, when I had a program on that had high quality audio, an eagle screamed in one scene and the sound was projected to where I thought it was literally outside our house, then on the other side. That was very impressive. I found that noteworthy. Just the sound bar, no sub woofer nor rear speakers. One reviewer suggested the internal bass system on the React could shake the floorboards. I live too close to neighbors to crank up the sound to see if it does, but the one time I took the sound up mid-way, I did get some pretty good vibrations. However, I’ve noticed some distortion on higher level sounds with the sound up. I was not sure if that was the source or the React. PERIPHERALS: I am somewhat disappointed with the remote control. It’s challenging to aim and find the sweet spot on the React, especially from an angle. As previously mentioned, I don’t find the sound modes all that different. I mostly just use the remote for Alexa and streaming music when the TV is off. I use an Apple TV streaming device for video sources; it works with the React for streaming video and sound. When I tried to use Apple Airplay from my iPad, it would not connect unless I disconnected the HDMI and used internal speakers; was not a problem with the Sonos Beam. I queried Polk Support, which replied the React does not support the Apple TV's Airplay streaming system at this time. That was not noted in the various product descriptions and reviews I’ve read. The React has Bluetooth connectivity. I see how to do it, but haven’t tried it yet, as the only music service I use is Amazon Music, which Alexa connects to, as well as other services. I’ve found the React's volumes for various networks and services are not too different. However, the Alexa voice seems to be low when streaming music. The Sonos Beam had anything Alexa much lower in volume than what you might have been watching. Advantage: React. MISCELLANEOUS: Some reviewers mentioned things that concerned me. One said the volume of the sound mode announcement from the remote control was too loud. Not for me. Another said there’s never a time when a sound bar light is off. Not for me. The light that stays on when In use is a low level brightness LED on the front, about 1 mm diameter. When the system is off, all lights are off unless using Alexa. The Alexa light bar works like any Alexa system, it illuminates when actively using Alexa, but not while streaming music. The light bar also momentarily illuminates white while adjusting volume, bass, or voice from the remote control. Another person suggested when streaming from a mobile device or through Alexa, the program abruptly stops after 20 minutes. That was a real concern as I like to stream music for hours. But happily, not for me. [UPDATE 11-17-2022: I am now experiencing this through Alexa on the sound bar, very frustrating.] I did not mount the React on a wall. I’d suggest it’s weight could be an issue unless the studs align with the hole template. SUMMING UP: Overall I am fairly satisfied, but I expected more in what I thought the sound should be. And I am frustrated I cannot use Apple Airplay. Otherwise, a very good purchase in its price range (mine seemed to be on a Polk short time price cut at about $180; the Amazon price went up to $270 two days after ordering). ... show more

    • What a difference a bar makes
Style: Soundbar
I had been living with a very large TV for a few years, having to have the volume to the max. to hear dialogue or any semblance of music. I was not familiar with soundbars, so read up on the need for them with modern flat TVs. Read about the Polk soundbar and it seemed the right dimensions and features to fill my needs. I liked the fact I could later order remote speakers and subwoofer to complete a surround sound venue. I had arranged for a teenager, my granddaughter, to connect up the system, knowing the younger the generation the more conversant with newer technology they are. I was right. She got it going in no time and introduced me to Alexa with whom I feel there is going to be a lasting relationship. The email that Amazon sent me also having to do with Alexa's abilities has me thrilled with the possibilities. The sound from my TV even with much lower volume is wonderful. There is now a bass, beautiful music quality, and clear dialogue. I don't think I'll need the subwoofer, but plan on getting the remote wireless speakers. I would give this unit a full 5 stars if it hadn't been for the shipping. It was sent in its own box, not within a shipping box. The box was greatly scarred with one large hole in it. Upon unwrapping, whatever had made the hole had also made a hole in the fabric covering and, wouldn't you know, that was on the front side. As I already had my assistant ready for the install, I decided to keep rather than return which is always a hassle at best. I contacted Amazon and compensation was made with little trouble. My darning kit came out and I was able to repair the hole so that, unless looking very closely for something, nothing is noticeable. ... show more

    • My expectations were high, and Polk met them.
Style: Soundbar
Full disclosure here: I really like Polk speakers. When I was younger, I ran Polk subwoofers in my car, which led to buying TSi and RTi series speakers in different rooms of my house. Except for the bedroom. I was told long ago that having a full receiver and speaker system in the bedroom was not happening. So there's been this crap no-name sound bar that I've wanted to replace, but it never hit the top of the priorities list. And then this came. Setup was easier than I thought it would be. My TV doesn't have HDMI-out, so I had been using an optical connection on the old sound bar. When this first powered on, it wanted to be connected through the Alexa app -- which I already had going with the Echo Show and Echo Dot devices I already had. Adding it was just a matter of scanning the QR code on the sound bar with my phone. The Alexa functionality worked as I had expected it to, but I didn't realize that the bar shows the same type of status lights that you'd see on an Echo Dot . So there was a recessed yellow bar letting me know I had another package on the porch, and it turned blue when giving the Alexa wake word. Pretty cool. Once that was out of the way, I played with the included remote for a couple of minutes but noticed that the sound seemed to be controlling itself. I was afraid I had received a defective unit until I realized I was sitting on my AppleTV remote. With absolutely no intervention on my part, the sound bar was working with my TV's remote. I grabbed the remote that came with my TV to confirm, and sure enough, it was controlling the volume on the sound bar with zero setup. I was impressed, to say the least. This wasn't a matter of the TV adjusting the volume of the optical output. This was the sound bar somehow learning (or being able to receive with factory settings) the remote that came with my TV. So, then it was time to move to sound quality. Generally, I'm not big on sound bars. Does this sound like a pair of RTi 10 speakers in my living room? No. But for a sound bar, the quality is excellent. You get full, rich bass (to the extent you get that without a dedicated subwoofer) that don't buzz, the expansive midrange that Polk is known for, and smooth highs. I really liked how well the voice-lift function worked on the dedicated remote. As full as the sound is, you don't really need the room to reverberate when you're watching the news, and that made this nearly perfect for use in the bedroom, where you can still watch TV with decent sound and without waking up your partner. Admittedly, I really want to add the Polk React wireless subwoofer , though I've been told that absolutely is not happening. Oh well. Guess I can't have everything. ... show more

The remote control offers great customization. Rear sounds are good when set to 3D instead of Movie.
