No EQ adjustments No Wi-Fi/AirPlay/Chromecast No HDMI outputs
“It terms of sheer audio bang for your buck, it doesn't get much better than the Polk Signa S4 soundbar.”
Expert review by : James Barber (techhive.com)
The 3.1.2-channel Polk Signa S4 soundbar and subwoofer combo delivers impressive simulated surround sound at a reasonable price.
Dolby Atmos audio is excellent ; Subwoofer delivers critical low end ; Three levels of Voice Adjust dialogue enhancement
No Wi-Fi for music streaming ; Can’t be upgraded with rear speakers
The affordable Polk Audio Signa S4 soundbar and subwoofer is a fantastic way to experience immersive audio, but it can’t be upgraded with additional speakers, and you’ll have to do without Wi-Fi.

Hi-fi newbies need to get a load of this
Room-filling Dolby ; Wireless subwoofer connection ; Vocal clarity despite heavy background noise ; ‘Cinema’ mode ; 3 ‘Voice adjust’ modes to suit your preference
Some modes lose vocal nuance and warmth ; No smart home capabilities
I struggle to believe this setup is only $400. For that relatively small price tag, you get a 3.1.2 hi-fi system with a separate subwoofer. Audio performance utterly fills the room — wherever you’re watching. For bass lovers, the subwoofer provides a...

Performance Features Ergonomics Value
When it comes to hi-fi and home theater, I'm a space hog. Some folks zero in on tight, room-shaking bass, others seek immaculate midrange accuracy or high frequency extension with gobs of etched detail. For me, it's always been about imaging and...

Best sound I've ever had worth every penny, thoroughly recommend
Consumer review (richersounds.com)
