Polk Audio Signa S2 220 Watt 2.1 Channel Wireless Bluetooth Soundbar with Dolby (Black)

I basically bought this for watching BBC nature documentaries since my TV's inbuilt speaker had hard time delivering clear dialogues but I think this Signa S2 is overkill for that purpose. I should have gone for Signa Solo which was selling for 8k during sale (including bank discounts). Now coming to it's capabilities.FORMAT IT PLAYED :Dolby digital, Dolby digital plus, DTS, DTS-HD (Master Audio) and many other formats except Dolby TrueHD & Atmos where TV displayed something like "audio not supported in this video".My biggest concern was if it can play DTS files and it plays them brilliantly. I felt DTS sounded better than Dolby but it may be due to higher bitrate of dts files.VOCALS are amazing. Super clear. Actually whole sound speactrum is too clear with great instrument separation that you will be able to distinguish between different sounds/instruments being played. High notes tone (Tweeters) are just pleasant to listen to.Polk's Voice adjust feature is extremely beneficial and works as advertised. But since soundbar produces such crisp and clear sound I never felt to use that feature but I tried just to test it out and it worked great.It easily fills 15x20 room with just 50% volume that you would feel like sitting in a theater.Now coming to BASS:It's the most controversial part with Signa series soundbar.When playing dolby movies (I played Batla House and Justice league) the rumble was so huge even at low base level setting that it literally felt like being in the scene of the movie. The rumble penetrated 3-4 walls in my house and could be felt beyond 30 feet. When Polk says "Deep Bass Technology" they are truly honest with their claim. Bass felt like Sub-bass most of the time than normal Bass. Bass is what you can hear, Sub-bass is what you feel in your whole body.I also noticed there was no down firing driver in the sub. When you place your hand near sub you will barely feel anything even while producing THAT deep Bass rumble in action scene. Bass effect is more like 3D and feels like PVR cinema at home.These guys (Polk Engineers & Scientists) know the science of sound and are Master of acoustics so they have done something there in the Bass department.Now the controversial part of NO BASS. It occured mostly during streaming music via Bluetooth or even while playing directly from TV. Bass was so loose & non existent (70% of the time) that one would easily get disappointed. Only thing about the bass present during music is some "air pressure type" loose Bass ,which you can only hear, without having any body,depth, weight or punch.But when you watch dolby/DTS movies Bass will just shock you in many ways that you won't be able to believe yourself. One can easily feel that Super deep Punch and weight with 3D effect.So there's definitely some improvement to do in that Bass department but it won't affect your experience during watching any movie.For music lovers I would suggest to go for Magnify Mini rather than Signa S1/S2.It was very easy to install and I used HDMI Arc to connect to my TV. Using Polk's remote I can turn on Bluetooth ,connect with my OnePlus 7 and stream. I actually enjoyed listening to music since I rarely listen to Bass heavy songs ,so Bass issue never bothers me.I got it for around 14k so it's Value for Money for me and actually delivers more than what I paid for.I received 4 power cables (2 two-pin & 2 three-pin).Received all other accessories like optical cable,HDMI cable, remote, batteries.Thanks for reading my review.Cheers ;)

For what is worth, the simplicity attached to this Polk Audio Signa S2 is really the main reason why I am really falling in love with it. Though the performance is great too but then, the simplicity in its appearance and the kind of quality it boasts of is good. It could really be a great buy for a soundbar for best sound effects and I like it.Coming to connectivity it's pretty easy to set up manually. I have connected to my hisense 4k Tv through hdmi arc. Also have tried using optical cable and worked fine. I didn't find huge difference in sound output using optical cable. But HDMI will be lightly par ahead of sound what I noticed in this soundbar.Coming to bass, it's simply mind-blowing and produces awesome bass in the subwoofer. My living hall is 15*20 and it produces excellent sound effect and powerful bass. While checking the bass through dobly format songs and movie clips , it rocks and can feel the thunder!!! Thanks polk for it.Only dislike I felt is either bar or woofer could have digital sign rather using 4 different lights which are used for connectivity considering the price. And the remote could have been better ( disappointed for me as the signs are in Chinese language)Final conclusion on this soundbar is better' go for it without second thought. It is worth every money and far good as Sony, JBL and equal to expensive bose systems.

This is my first POLK audio purchase ever, and it came after I returned a JBL 2.1 Soundbar which failed to impress my ears. I was skeptical about POLK, as I had not heard them but took a risk and ordered following the positive reviews online. The first thing we expect from premium and exclusive audio brands is clean and great sound output. Easy to setup and solid and premium built quality, Polk Signa S2 surpasses this benchmark comfortably as the audio output is clean, no major dips or boost in frequencies, smooth crossovers and has got a great sub woofer which produces clean bass without being boomy. It doesnt go below 45 Hz but I would hardly mind that. I loved the overall balance of sound at "Movie" mode, which works better for me for movies and music as well. The biggest problem is the lack of a display or indication of sound level and bass level on soundbar, but I would prefer better sound over feature richness. The "Night" mode works very well compared to other soundbars, reducing low frequencies and output for a soothing sound especially for late night binge watching. There is no virtual surround and I never noticed any surround effect as claimed, but the separation between Left and right is decent enough. The biggest irony with other audio brands like JBL is that they have gone into marketing war and wattage or power output/loudness is their key selling and comparison point. Polk, on the other hand refuses to do so, which is fair as it does not decide quality of amp or transducer. This soundbar is sufficiently loud for normal ears and mid sized room. You can listen to it for hours at normal levels without feeling exhausted on eardrums or brain. A very good upgrade to TV sound, for its price(₹15.5K) and form, its a very well worth!
