Reviews
Panasonic 2.1 Channel Soundbar with Subwoofer - Wireless - Black (SC-HTB490) is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 32.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound at a very reasonable price I bought my soundbar a few months ago, and I'm very happy with the sound quality. It's a very reasonable price for the combination of the single and subwoofer. It basically shakes the whole house if I have it up too high. The sound quality is really quite good for the price. It's perfect for movies and pretty great for the price.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not Good I have had a Panasonis home theatre system for 10 years, previous to purchasing this soundbar. Based on the reviews and my preference for Panasonic goods I bought this new system. Unless I have a dud, or not set up correctly, this is not a good buy. The sound is tinny, no matter what setting I choose, and the sub woofer seems to do nothing to enhance the bass sound, contrary to many reviews who state the bass is booming. Well it's not for me. My older system was brilliant, so I'll be reinstalling to get back to some kind of enhanced listening again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Head-bangingly great sound! I'm impressed by the ease of use, the huge improvement in the sound, and easy integration with our Panasonic Viera TV. Love the Subwoofer, which really comes into its own when listening to music. Now I just need to organise it all, so that it fits on my rather cluttered tv table.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Banging Out The Tunes [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Didn't think we needed one, but just couldn't live without it now. Turns every TV show or Movie into a Cinema experience, and bangs out my favourite tunes like a live event. Totally love what it's done for our everyday life..Go get one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive! First time I have used a sound bar. It was very easy to set up. I was impressed with the quality of sound from both the sound bar and subwoofer from the TV. Also impressed with the sound for the music I was playing from Spotify.. Very happy with it.

Questions & Answers

Could a 90 year old with no electronic experience install this myself?

Asked by: David
Thanks for your question David. Yes, you could, as it does come with basic instructions, There may be some concerns around set-up, device connections, and audio quality and we would still recommend having a family member or friend on standby that can assist you with sorting your preferred sound setup in case.
