Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Clarity of TV Dialogue I bought the React Sound bar primarily to improve clarity of dialogue on television programs. It is excellent in that regard. Sports, movies, talk shows all mix their sound tracks differently and the variety of mode selections as well of voice and bass +/- adjustments make dialog in all formats come through clearly. I was not particularly in the market for Alexa capability or deeper base sound, but have found those features to be more appreciated than I had expected. I didn’t know how lacking my TV’s built-in speaker were until I compared them to the React sound bar; huge improvement! Additionally, set up was extremely easy. Mostly plug & play. Only setting up Alexa took a few additional steps, but that was also quick and simple with the Alexa app. Overall, I’m very happy with the React sound bar and plan to buy another for a TV in my lower level.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great experience. So far I've been using it two days. Install was easy no directions necessary for me, used earc hmdi hookup and linked it with my fire tv. The sound quality is phenomenal even though I've yet to break it in or turn it up loud. Will purchase with Polk again soon. Shipping was also very fast but it was Also Christmas time.

Questions

I have everything set up and working properly.  However - whenever I ask Alexa to play something from Apple Music, it says it is not enabled on this device (the Polk React Soundbar).  Apple Music works on every other Alexa device I own.  

Asked by: ToddZ2346
Hello, the Polk Audio React soundbar is not compatible with Apple Music. We apologize for any inconvenience. The React soundbar can be included in a group using the Alexa app. Apple Music playback may also be accomplished using Bluetooth.

Can we pair two subwoofers instead of just one for a better bass response? Thank you

Asked by: PacePace
Hello, The React Soundbar accepts only one sub-woofer. For better bass response, it is recommended to experiment with sub-woofer placement. Every room has one or two bass response sweet spots.
