Polk Signa S2 Review - Worth Buying still?

[@DougFrantz]

Gonna order one for my daughters TV. Her first response was that I already complain about how loud she turns up her TV. I told her that this will help her listen easier at a lower volume because it's better quality. Thanks for the review.

Hey man great video! I just got this sound bar for my birthday today and I was blown away by how clear and rich sounding this speaker was. I have never owned a sound bar before so I can’t compare how well this one sounded to other sound bars, but I think this ones possibly better than a lot of over priced brands. The bass was pretty good in my opinion and it definitely shook the whole room, for how small of a subwoofer it is it sure did sound like a way bigger one. I’m happy and satisfied with this sound bar!

I didn't see this before, but this was a nice review of the soundbar. I just bought my first Smart TV - 65" Vizio (I've had the same LCD 50" since 2009, when I came back from my first deployment) and was VERY unpleasantly surprised to hear that TVs just have crap for audio built in these days. So naturally went and got a sound bar, and loved the sound of this. Found one on open-box, and figured I would give it a chance. First attempt was a bust as the speaker was blown, so took it back and grabbed a new Polk S2, and glad I did. Glad to see others are having the same pleasing experience I am!

[@WannaBuyIt]

Yea TV speakers are so bad now it’s crazy. I’m glad you found this soundbar and it was perfect for you right a way 👍. And thank you for your service 🙏

I put the sub behind the tv in a corner and it kicks way harder then in front like you have it in the vid. For my space I probably wouldnt want it any heavier. Nice review man. What does night mode do?

[@WannaBuyIt]

oh nice glad you found that perfect spot and thanks for the tip for other who are looking for way to set up the sub. Night mode just lowers the bass so it won't hit hard when people are trying to sleep basically and makes the voices in the show/movie pop more without having to turn up the tv loud.

Very well done and informative video review of the Polk S2..... I saw this product on Amazon then searched KZbin for a review and your comments were straight forward and to the point (unlike a couple other video reviews I watched first). I appreciate your help. I’m now going back over to Amazon to buy one for my Samsung 32” TV. Thanks !!

[@WannaBuyIt]

no problem at all bud, I'm glad I was able to help. thank you for watching my video

[@flypipers3228]

i just had to tell you... My Polk S2 package arrived today. Just as you said in your video, this was very easy. I was able to unpack, install and enjoy in 5 minutes. As you characterized it, the sound bar offers a “full sound” and the woofer adds some depth but it doesn’t shake the room, it’s not designed to make that chest pounding compression you’d find in a real movie theater. However I couldn’t be more pleased. For the inexpensive price tag, the ease in which you can set it up, the wide, crisp, full sound - and I can connect my iPhone by Bluetooth to listen to my music through this sound bar - this is a GREAT package. Thank you again for your accurate and informative video review.

[@borisvil7811]

Good afternoon, friend, thank you for your review. I can’t understand with the sub buffer, does it constantly turn off and can I turn it on again? thanks for the answer

What was the movie you had playing in your review? Also I agree with the review, you have to turn the volume up a little high to know you have a subwoofer.

[@WannaBuyIt]

oh that was The Witcher on Netflix season two just came out few months ago as well. Thanks for watching my video bud

[@nonexistentman]

Love the review! I got one about a month ago, and my mom followed suit shortly after. However, she hated that she couldn't control the volume from her regular remote. So she returned it and got an LG for the same price, but the sound was awful, so she returned that as well. Do you have any suggestions for soundbars that compare to how good the sound is on the Signa S2 for around the same price point?

[@WannaBuyIt]

yea my parents hate that as well with soundbars I give them. Another great speaker is the Samsung hw-t450. the bass on this soundbar is amazing for a budget speaker. I reviewed that on my channel as well.kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnjVZ6iqjq1sZ7s amzn.to/3lHzVFw

[@marcwilliams6211]

Compared to the Bose solo 5, which sound bar would you recommend to get?

[@WannaBuyIt]

with the Bose solo 5 you won't have the bass is the biggest down fault in this battle. But if you just want a sound bar and if I was choosing just sound bars only no sub. I would pick the Bose solo 5 soundbar. Polk is on sell going for $140 right now and you get a subwoofer with it also something to think about. I know bose solo 5 is $150. If I was to choose I would pick the Bose solo 5 out of the two because my room is small and I don't need bass. If you want some nice bass I would choose this speaker ($147) amzn.to/2IZJ8Kc over Polk. I did a review on it as well. Hope I helped you out.

The sub on my Signa S2 thumps on movies and TV programming. I had the bass turned up with Cinema mode on. I ended up turning the bass down. I use the S2 with a Sony UPB-X800 BD player (2018) and a Sony KD-55X750F 4k HDR tv (2018). The one negative on my setup is the Dolby displaying a green light when watching a Dolby mixed movie over the air or with BD player. Also, I have had to unplug the power one time and the ARC cable one time, as the soundbar seemed to be confused when turning my tv on. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars overall. Otherwise, it has excellent sound with plenty of bass. Good review. Thank you.

[@michaelwright1602]

Yes! I have two SVS SB3000 subs, you can hook them up wirelessly, there are more than a few kits out there. Emotiva, SVS Dayton Audio, they all sell them, and they do work. I only have one of those units and two subs, so I went with the cables. I used a simple 3.5mm male to a dual RCA out female cable. The 3.5mm end plugs into the headphone jack on the back of my 2017 Sony Bravia E800 TV. Then I plugged in the RCA cables to run to the subs. At the subs, I used these, from Amazon, around $50, the "FMOD Crossover Pair 50 Hz Low Pass" filters. These plug into the other end of the RCA cable to the sub, and then the crossover plugs into the sub RCA input. You need these crossovers so that the high frequencies from the TV are not sent to the sub. Without these crossovers, the subs will be speakers, not the sound you want. I tried using the crossover in the sub, no go, I needed these crossovers, they work. I would use these with the wireless setup too if you go that route.

hi!, the scene is the same you showed with the JBL Bar 5.1, and, well both sounds really good; wich one do you recommend?

[@WannaBuyIt]

Honestly if you got the budget definitely the JBL 5.1 hands down. With that you are gonna get that crazy movie theater shaking bass, surround sound with the detachable speakers to go behind you just a real good all in one sound bar i think

[@WannaBuyIt]

Now if you don’t have the budget you are gonna lose a lot of that bass and that surround sound effect that the JBL has to offer, but you will still get a full rich sound from the polk. IF you are in a small to medium space it will work well, it’s really loud and you can hear that bass it’s not JBL shaking but it’s still good and will shine better in a small to medium space for sure and I think disappointment in a large space

Do I need to buy brackets to mount on the wall? Or does it come with it?

[@WannaBuyIt]

oh dang bud I can't remember if this had brackets are not. I'm sorry about that

[@Gravxhity]

I've got an older model (9500bt with subwoofer) and was thinking of looking for another one but I absolutely love the one I have and it doesn't seem like this is better by any means

[@neryleal5265]

Do you and Chanot Maxine live together cause I'm watching your videos on the same sound bar and you guys have the same table, ps4 placing, TV, consoles and where they are like it's hella trippy

Wow I was in the market to look for a sound bar great video. Thanks.

No problem bud and thank you for watching my video

Hey.. on your opinion.. polk mini, polk magnifi or samsug q70t? Witch from them i can get the best sound and quality? 🙏

[@WannaBuyIt]

I haven't used any of those speakers bud. I don't want to give you the wrong advice

[@int_pro]

So how is it for dialogue? Having real problems hearing dialogue on these fancy TVs these days.

[@WannaBuyIt]

It’s been a while I can’t remember how the dialogue on this soundbar. Just recently I started paying attention to the dialogue after people started asking about it. Sorry I wasn’t able to help you

[@venezia7252]

let me ask, can i purchase another subwoofer for this and have 2 subs, maybe use a better polk sub with it. because i just ordered it few minutes ago, and will get a more bass sub while i am waiting for it to come in.

[@venezia7252]

i guess what i am asking, can i purchase a better bass sub for this bar, and use 2 subs,

[@KewlQT]

I was hoping you'd show how to hook it up. I have been using the HDMI connection but it takes forever to start up. So today I tried connecting to my LG HDTV which is a high end 3 yr old, cost about $2,200. There are 3 optical inputs on the TV but it won't fit in any no how no way. Tried rotating it but nothing. It connects to the soundbar easy enough tho. Please help.

[@WannaBuyIt]

Did you make sure to take the rubber ball off the optical? Only asking because my wife’s brother didn’t one time and couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t fit. But other than that idk why it won’t

[@KewlQT]

I've been using the hdmi arc connection which sounds just as good as the optical setting (according to other reviews) so I'll keep using what works. I just wish there wasn't so much of a delay with sound after I turned the TV on (a good 30 seconds of picture with no sound).

[@lstruggy]

I have this paired w my TCL 65” and I love it! bought it 2018 Black Friday Best Buy $179 will upgrade to the S3 this coming holiday if the price is right!

[@WannaBuyIt]

I know the s3 does look nice

[@lstruggy]

Wanna Buy It is it any different than the S2 vs S3 other than the addition of the chrome cast?

[@WannaBuyIt]

The price for the S3 is $250 bud 👍

[@WannaBuyIt]

Almost everything is the same but yes the chrome cast, 4K and 8k support and google assistant is mainly the new features

[@WannaBuyIt]

I’m not gonna lie though bud having that chromecast to the soundbar might be nice for some people. I got the roku sound bar that I’m testing out and I love having the stream stick apart of the soundbar. It was only $161 total so really good so far but yea I will have that review up in a couple more days.

[@pepguardiola2266]

This or the samsung HW-t450?

[@WannaBuyIt]

Samsung

[@rayg99]

Hey man, please advise.. This or the Sony HTMT300 from Best Buy for $200? I know this one is more powerful, but I live in an apartment. I have the Sony now, but thinking about exchanging it for this. I like the Sony sound bar/sub so far bc it's compact and look sleep. Sound quality wise, bass aside, which one is a better buy? This one's $170 at Best Buy right now. Thanks.

[@WannaBuyIt]

I haven’t heard the the Sony soundbar so I don’t wanna speak on that one. But this one it’s a good sounding soundbar, the bass is not that big and booming so in your apartment you won’t annoy your neighbors with crazy bass. But I don’t know how good your soundbar now sounds or other the Sony, I don’t know if your downgrading or at the same level because I haven’t heard the Sony

How do I pair the subwoofer to the soundbar

[@WannaBuyIt]

Mine just link right away. For sure google it and they might show you how to pair if it’s not

Great review, bought one, hated opening, and it's perfect for the price.

[@WannaBuyIt]

Im glad you are liking it bud 😊🙏🏾

[@CrimsonLibra_20]

Hey, Rodney, great descriptions in the soundbar features - a really well done video. Glad you offered plenty of info on the remote and voice enhancement features, the caution on the bluetooth cons, and the fact that the passive subwoofer is fairly capable but won't produce "wall crumbling" bass, which like you said, can be good for a smaller room. I sold a ton of Polk Audio product in the 2000's, and this bar looks like a good budget product. Liked👍 and subscribed.

[@WannaBuyIt]

Aye bud thank you so much I appreciate that and thank you for watching my video it means a lot. It for sure is a great budget option

[@rudericsegovia6353]

That's pretty standard length for a soundbar. My 3.1ch Sony soundbar is 38.5". There are longer soundbars out there that are 46-49"

[@mrblakely562]

By any chance do you know if it is normal for mine to only hear sound on the left side of the sound bar or is it defective or set up wrong. It is brand new.

[@WannaBuyIt]

no it for sure shouldn't be doing that. send it back for a new one I think

How do you disable the auto shut off?

[@WannaBuyIt]

Oh I have no clue bud. I have been looking and I can't find anything for the S2. I found a comment on best buy for their S1 product I will leave here for you. "Found a hack to disable the auto-shutoff. Press POWER button and VOLUME DOWN buttons on soundbar (not remote) simultaneously for 10 seconds. This seems to have disabled the auto shutoff for 4 hours, based on my initial test. The soundbar went to standby after 4 hours. This may be tolerable, but I'll continue testing.” - Bestbuy
