Polk Signa S2 Review $199 2.1 Channel Sound Bar

[@OneTimWhatley]

No sound indication? If it's too loud, turn it down. If it's not loud enough, turn it up. What more sound indication do you need?

[@BigRossD]

By far the best soundbar/sub combo at best buy. Always buy from companies that specialize in sound

[@zdrummero1]

Agreed. I am glad I got this one. Love it.

[@L118aKev]

Sure a 200$ soundbar and sub sound better than Bose 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

[@roarsenal6217]

I bought a second for the garage mahal

[@danielcordero7761]

I bought this unit yesterday @ my local abc warehouse for $199.00 & this thing rocks ! I have it hooked up to hdmi arc & I can use my TV remote for sound adjust, & you can see the volume level on the screen of your TV! I highly recommend this soundbar & the bass really thumps ! I was looking @ the jbl soundbar for $ 30.00 dollars more,but the polk sounded way better ! Thanks for your review ✌by the way, polk is a high end sound company & that is what they specialize in ! Quality products @ affordable prices! ,

The lights are telling you what source you are connected too. Jus bought this and I'm very satisfied... Sounds amazing

I just bought this for my projector so its definitely gonna be an upgrade, I'm gonna connect wirelessly to my Wowoto H8. Thanks good review

[@mikewk3026]

Just picked this up yesterday . I paid $150 at BB. I think it sounded great had good bass . But your right about the volume and bass read out . Before the Polk I brought that Yamaha bar without the external sub home . Listened to it for 5 minutes and put it back in the box.. This Polk is great for the price . Thanks for the review.

[@KosherTech]

Glad u like it 😊

[@gunnerfrancis8674]

Ok do you encounter it reading off everything! Even multiple times reminding you what the movie is about and length without turning it

[@KosherTech]

What do u mean??

[@gunnerfrancis8674]

KosherTech the dialogue voice. It’s speaks out loud when you click on a movie or scroll. And then even during the movie it will keep repeating the movies info

[@KosherTech]

I haven't had that issue. Can u disable that?

[@la_keith321]

I ended up getting this sound bar on Amazon on sale $139.00. I almost didn’t because I watched this review, the only thing I agree with this review is there’s no digital read out that’s says HDMI for instance. But WHAT HE doesn’t tell you is the lights on the front of the sound bar tells you what mode you’re in. Another great feature is if it’s muted to long it shuts down, if the TV is off it shuts down. It actually produces great Hi’s Mids & lows for the space I have it in (Bedroom), the feature to be able to amplify the dialogue is yet another great feature, you have basically levels 1 2 & 3 which help kick it over the sound so the sound doesn’t drown out the dialogue. The best feature I have found is the night mode button, I can still use the sound bar at night with my wife sleeping next to me thanks to the night mode, it doesn’t bother anyone. It’s killer for the space it’s in. The controller is way more responsive then this guy is trying to say, I get it’s not inferred so ya of course the delay is there but it’s so minor, I have never had to click a button more then once to make a commend I chose on the remote to work. So for all of you that do come across this sound bar it’s a great buy for what it is!!! & for this KZbinr I almost skipped on a good deal because of you but I remembered what the hell am I thinking never listen to a critic, perhaps in the future spend more time with an item you’re going to review before you make a video!!! based on your review I’m betting you didn’t even spend a weekend with this product

[@drewie_Butts]

Jesus I love this comment. I read a shitload of Amazon reviews singing its praises... so I bought it? Why wouldn’t I? The people say it’s awesome. Started watching this review and got the purchase anxiety sweats haha. I appreciate a review in contrast to another review. Gotta love peer review. Take it easy

[@jamzst]

Thanks for providing sound comparisons eg: music, movie and vocals 👍

[@jonathannorthard9046]

Bought this a few weeks ago and have no idea about sound bars, I was advised to buy this one as it was in budget and great sound for the price. I am blown away with the quality compared to a friends system that cost 4x more than what I paid. I agree about not having a display and having to guess the levels but on the plus I have it on the wall below the tv and it looks beautiful with the simplistic design

[@100inthewind]

You don't need a volume indicator. You just use your tv volume control which does show volume level. Speakers aren't big enough in sound bar for bass? That's what the subwoofer is for.

[@andrewbidwell976]

Such a great sounding soundbar. I just don't understand all this talk about not having a display. Especially not buying it just based on no display. Call me crazy but I never look at the display to see what number the volume is at, I simply adjust the volume up or down until it's the right level for me. I don't rely on a number i rely on my ears lol. Love the review though, great job!

[@andrewbidwell976]

After using it a bit I could see how having a display would be handy to know once you have reached the maximum limit, especially with the bass. I still think it's more than worth the $200 price tag tho.

[@KosherTech]

The display improves the user experience much more. At the end I always want a product to be the best and have the best for me to suggest it as well as use it as a consumer.

[@RadNitro]

Picked up the 65" Vizio M-Series. The Polk and Vizio 2.1 Sounbars are $149.99 at time of purchase. The only point for the Polk is an ARC HDMI connection. The Vizio has the volume indicator LED's on the front and lot's of other connectivity. Plus brand matching. Going with the SB3621N-E8M for sure. Thanks for the info.

[@danelen]

Great review. I am not an audiophile and just wanted something to improve the tv sound. I just got this for $150 on Amazon and love it for what I needed at this price point. This is a very fair review. This is a great soundbar for the price but it does have drawbacks which he hits on perfectly. For what I needed they are minor but for example for someone who also wants to stream music a lot the lack of UI visuals on the remote actions would be frustrating.

[@donato777]

How does this Polk compare to the Yamaha YAS-108 in terms of voice clarity and music sound? At present, the Polk is selling for $139 vs. $199 for the Yamaha. Thanks!

[@KosherTech]

We also have to put an account that the polk comes with a sub and the Yamaha does not. For the price I'll probably say try out the Polk. However I like the sound a bit more on the Yamaha

[@davidcarter805]

I just got this and wondering if I did my LG OLED an injustice. Its an absolute PITA to keep the sound on the correct setting and for the subwoofer to come on. Keep having to reset the Bluetooth to the sub. At first music from iPhone via Bluetooth sounded horrible but now a bit better.

[@BOHICA01]

[@king_ziltch]

[@MrCKeely]

I like the sound from the S2 but I can only get sound from my Samsung TV using the optical link which I need for my surround sound system. Polk S2 HDMI connection does not work with Samsung eHDMI ARC. The off-shore Customer "Technical" Service group does not seem to understand there is a problem or a work around for this. There is no truly technical person available at Polk to discuss this problem with. I think Polk should make this problem known or add some sort of adapter to the package if one is available. Samsung and others have been adding the enhanced HDMI ARC since about 2017, 4 years, and Polk has not fixed this problem of compatibility in that time. The new Polk owners seem to only want your money, I have several other Polk speakers but they predate the sale to the Wall Street Banker.

[@mikejackson9585]

I have and like it, but sound profile is a little uneven. Just missing in the mid range especially in both the high and low trasition zones. Those holes in the profile are noticeable. However , if you have some way of applying an EQ to it, your results may vary. Its not terribly great on the top or bottom, but solid in those ranges. For the price however it is one of the better units. I believe Visio had a better sounding system at a similar price, but this one is solid.

[@albertalvarez8982]

So is not worth getting and is it true that it stops working after 3days?

Having the same issue with the subwoofer

[@mikejackson9585]

It's a pretty bass heavy setup so it should be noticeable. I originally felt the same but that was quickly corrected by pressing the bass button on the remote. Just click on it for a little while, 5 or 6+ clicks and it should be clear. If not, go through the sub sync process again.

This is a great soundbar but has two FATAL flaws. First the soundbar goes into standby after 15 minutes if it receives on audio input. This means if you mute your TV for more than that time so you have to grab soundbar remote and turn back on. Second the soundbar will not turn on and off with your television after pairing so again you have to grab the soundbar remote to turn back on. Every other soundbar turns on/off with TV after pairing. Note there are no work-a-rounds for these problems.

I am looking forward to getting myself the s2 in the near future.

I bought one! I HATE IT!!! The remote is cheaply made and the buttons often don’t work. There’s no volume display to gauge the level of the sound. The night mode is a great idea…IF IT WORKED! But the volume will suddenly deafen you and then drop so low that you think you are deaf. I spoke to a tech rep yesterday. He couldn’t answer my questions and appeared to make answers up. Don’t make the same mistake as I did. On a positive note, when it works, it works. When….

[@russ02281990]

You should've played 3 different styles of the music for a real sound comparison as from the music you played were all highs and lows with no mids

I picked up one of these in April at Best Buy After a suggestion from one of their audiophile specialists. The LG sound bar I picked up previously did not work well with my Sharp Roku smart Tv. After about two days for whatever reason, the LG sound bar stopped working with my TV remote so I took it back and they suggested this (universal) Polk audio sound bar with the ARC HDMI output. Has worked flawlessly ever since. Great sound and great product! 👍🏽. I’m not sure why the first salesman didn’t suggest the Polk the first time instead of the LG. I had to drive an additional hour to a different Best Buy to pick up this Polk sound bar and I would have gladly paid the additional 60 bucks to have a product working the first time around. Oh well, I guess that’s what happens when you have non-experienced sales people selling audio equipment.

More than half of they Best buy boys don't know what the heck they r talking about

It's more like, they would sell more expensive or gear that is not so often sell than better stuff :)

[@adamnorwood8608]

I've been trying to get the wattage specs from Polk Audio and they refuse. They are hiding the true power output of their equipment, probably due to weak numbers and prices out of line with competition. You are most likely getting some 80 watt garbage, tuned well enough to sound good while paying for what other companies give you 200+ watts for. I don't care if it sounds good, keeping general specs hidden from consumers is not what I expect from a trustworthy company.

[@darrenwolf6863]

I would be more interested in audio quality than just raw wattage. Wattage is just for loudness

Hi there. I have just purchased this bar as this was going on a massive sale nearly 50% off. So considering the name Polk I bought it impulsively relying on the fact that #Polkaudio makes great sound equipment. The reviews were good. I was on a low budget too and then I realised that I should check online for some reviews and I stumbled upon your vid. Saw it thrice fully grasping and taking notes what you you said. Read the comments below and realised that may be my decision was not a bad one. So I am writing this comment to thank you. I was really impressed by your clarity of thought into this video I mean you sound like you know what you are saying and really the fluidity and honesty of your discussion greatly helped me. Went through your other videos as well. My bar arrives on Tuesday. I will let you know how it fares. Thanks once again. And by the way subbed you too.

[@KosherTech]

Thank u good sir 😊

[@drkamalnegi]

Hey my bar arrived. As you said. Super easy to set up. The sub woofer connected automatically every time the bar is switched on. Looks great. Not flimsy. Good stuff. Now it has to be switched on every time one wants to use it. Compatible with both iOS and android. Music sounds great. No distortion. Good soundstage but not very wide. You have to be exactly in front of the bar. It is compatible with Dolby 5.1 but just plays out all channels individually so ends up sounding stereo. But it’s a great sounding bar for music. Coming into movies. The clarity and dialogue is good. Sound effects may turn up to be very loud. One more thing. The bass is very very powerful. I could feel the vibrations in my bed. So bass lovers rejoice but it does not overpower the soundtrack. Overall a great sound bar. Worth its price. Thanks for pointing me out in the right direction.

[@KosherTech]

Lol np. Thank u for the written review lol 😁

[@Calbenmike]

Any speaker full blast will be distorted and "crackly".

[@KosherTech]

Wrong!

[@vikrambhar4443]

Were you forced to do this review? Biased right from the beginning. Harping again on again on low profile tweeters, remote issues and lack of indicators on the bar itself.

[@erickpenaloza8518]

Then he said the sound bar had 2 sub woofers, he clearly doesnt know what he's talking about

[@MrStonedstickup]

Sub won't sync ... Any ideas..?

[@KosherTech]

It should. U bought it new? Did I try pressing the sync button?

[@MrStonedstickup]

I got it from my mom she said she couldn't figure it out lol. So bought a new one instead of returning it. I'm pretty knowledgeable of the stuff, I mean they're pretty simple. But it won't sync.

[@MrStonedstickup]

It slow blinks when my first initially plug it in. then when I hold the sync button flashes faster but then doesn't go solid green like it's supposed to

[@MrStonedstickup]

I don't have a manual but I watched some.youtube videos and can't figure it out. The bar itsaelf works just can't get the sub going. Have 2 other set ups in my home and never had this issue. Sucks there's no screen on the bar that tells u anything either.

[@KosherTech]

@@MrStonedstickup that's strange it should just sync. Just calling their tech support unite or just exchange it.
