3.0 out of 5 starsGood sound, but has very annoying drawbacks

Sound is good, has Virtual surround sound options and such. Connectivity is good i have it connected to my bluetooth. The major problem though after months of use that makes me want to return it but its too late, is you will always, constantly be turning this stupid speaker back on. After couple mins or so it will shut it self off if theres no sound, so I have to reconnected it back on bluetooth. I do this about 10 times a day Not even exaggerating, I'm constantly pushing the bluetooth button on the soundbar or on my remote. It is annoying as f**. I use mainly bluetooth so not sure if it'll auto shut off on other connections.
also if there is no sound for couple min, and something comes through it, it will slowly ramp up the volume over a second or two. I guess they do this so you won't get shock by some sound coming out of nowhere but if you have this connected to like a pc, and your comp will play a quick alert sound, you may not even hear it.
also there is noticeable lag on bluetooth, maybe half a second or so. You get used to it but it is there.
I can't complain about the sound quality, it is good but that major drawback of it shutting itself off, and I'm constantly reconnecting it throughout the day is a deal killer. Cannot recommend.
**Update:
so its been a good 6months of using this, I found out that you can turn off the auto off feature so I don't have to deal with the issue of it turning itself off every 5min. The only annoying thing is if you are using this with a PC when the computer makes a quick alert sound or a beep you won't hear it. When the speaker get some sound it will slowly ramp up the volume, i guess they do that so you won't get startled. But this will basically 'mute' any quick alerts or beeps on your pc.
