Review: Great sounding soundbar with Alexa built in - I previously tried a different brand sound bar with Alexa that was less expensive and had issues connecting to network. I use a separate vlan for IoT devices and suspect that was the issue, but the bar may have been defective. Either way, this one connected through the Alexa app instantly and works perfect. Connected to TV at first without the subwoofer and was really impressed by the sound from this bar. Great sound and surprising bass overall for as small and inexpensive as it is. Connecting to the sub took maybe 30 seconds and it added a lot on the low end. Alexa works just like any of my other echos, listens well and responds accurately. When I change sound mode she speaks the mode but it is not loud and looks like they fixed that issue. Sound is pretty good for a sound bar, definitely built for vocals. Lots of mids which is not the best for listening to music if you are looking for audiophile quality but I have no complaints. TV dialog is much clearer than TV speakers and the sub adds great bass extension. Remote is nice, recessed buttons are a bit odd but it works good and doesn't feel cheap. Only wish I had was there was better settings control in the app that would match the ability of a regular echo. Limited but not limiting. Overall highly recommend and would definitely purchase again.
Review: My biggest tip would be to connect this sound bar to a 5ghz wifi connection rather than 2.4ghz - I have had this sound bar for many months now and I use it almost everyday. The sound quality is great for watching television and for listening to music. My biggest tip would be to connect this sound bar to a 5ghz wifi connection rather than 2.4ghz. I started this off on a 2.4ghz connection as the manual recommends, but kept running into connection issues. The sound bar would randomly drop out of the Echo music group every so often. It was annoying and troublesome and I almost gave up on it. Then I switched it to a 5ghz connection and I have not had any issues since! It works every time it's supposed to, the way it's supposed to. It fits right in with an Alexa/Echo ecosystem - this may as well be an desertcart device. I have this set up in a multi-room music group along with other Echo devices and they all work together in a music group seamlessly. I can use my Alexa app to change the settings on this sound bar, including the bass and treble. It also has the "do not disturb" setting like other echo devices. This is my primary Echo device in the living room - it responds to the name "Alexa". It speaks only when I use the wake word, that's it. Volume can be adjusted using the buttons on the bar, the remote control, or by voice command. "Alexa, volume #" (mute, max, or anywhere between 0 to 10). I would definitely recommend this sound bar to anyone who has an Echo ecosystem and to those who often use multi-room music groups.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sounding soundbar with Alexa built in

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Important Tip
*by J***K on February 22, 2022*

UPDATE 4-15-22: I found a switch (that I don't recall now) on my iPhone and iPad that enabled me to play Apple Airplay through the Polk React, that is a non-issue now. Otherwise, my review stands as is. I've had the Polk React for over a week. I replaced a Sonos Beam and my review perspective is based on that. BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT: I want to give the Polk React 5 stars, but in good conscience cannot give more than 4 due to sound quality and not being compatible with the Apple TV streaming device for Apple Airplay. I cover these below. SETUP AND CONNECTION: I was nervous, I read it was easy, but had a bad experience with the first generation Sonos Beam with Alexa. That process was horrible, taking two hours to get it right. Then the Beam needed updating, which had to be hard-wired to the router to do, causing a total reset of the Beam and another two hours to restore. Happily, the advertised setup/connection of the Polk React was exactly as stated. Plug it into a power source and HDMI to the TV's HDMI/ARC jack, and within 30 seconds the React was connected to Alexa, where I went to it’s app to do final setup. Full process, including plugging in — 2 minutes and I had full (for me enhanced) Alexa capability, including streaming music. I never entered a user ID nor password, the Alexa app handled it all. Which brings me to this VERY IMPORTANT TIP: I did not catch this when ordering from Amazon, but there is a note on the right side lower ordering block, a box with a blue check for Amazon to link the device to your account. That was the key to the ultra-fast hands-free connection. I did a mock reordering and happily discovered that was the default position for an Amazon React order. DON'T UNCHECK THAT unless you want a more hands-on connection process. SOUND: Disclaimer — I have tinnitus in both ears plus a 15% hearing loss. However, I have to give the edge for sound to the Sonos Beam, which was a bit more high fidelity IMHO. I have tried the various sound options on the remote control. Frankly I couldn’t discern a noticeable difference. The voice control (AKA treble) made no noticeable difference, I almost agree with another reviewer who suggested the React didn’t sound too much different from their TV's Internal speakers. The React does, but not much. Except, when I had a program on that had high quality audio, an eagle screamed in one scene and the sound was projected to where I thought it was literally outside our house, then on the other side. That was very impressive. I found that noteworthy. Just the sound bar, no sub woofer nor rear speakers. One reviewer suggested the internal bass system on the React could shake the floorboards. I live too close to neighbors to crank up the sound to see if it does, but the one time I took the sound up mid-way, I did get some pretty good vibrations. However, I’ve noticed some distortion on higher level sounds with the sound up. I was not sure if that was the source or the React. PERIPHERALS: I am somewhat disappointed with the remote control. It’s challenging to aim and find the sweet spot on the React, especially from an angle. As previously mentioned, I don’t find the sound modes all that different. I mostly just use the remote for Alexa and streaming music when the TV is off. I use an Apple TV streaming device for video sources; it works with the React for streaming video and sound. When I tried to use Apple Airplay from my iPad, it would not connect unless I disconnected the HDMI and used internal speakers; was not a problem with the Sonos Beam. I queried Polk Support, which replied the React does not support the Apple TV's Airplay streaming system at this time. That was not noted in the various product descriptions and reviews I’ve read. The React has Bluetooth connectivity. I see how to do it, but haven’t tried it yet, as the only music service I use is Amazon Music, which Alexa connects to, as well as other services. I’ve found the React's volumes for various networks and services are not too different. However, the Alexa voice seems to be low when streaming music. The Sonos Beam had anything Alexa much lower in volume than what you might have been watching. Advantage: React. MISCELLANEOUS: Some reviewers mentioned things that concerned me. One said the volume of the sound mode announcement from the remote control was too loud. Not for me. Another said there’s never a time when a sound bar light is off. Not for me. The light that stays on when In use is a low level brightness LED on the front, about 1 mm diameter. When the system is off, all lights are off unless using Alexa. The Alexa light bar works like any Alexa system, it illuminates when actively using Alexa, but not while streaming music. The light bar also momentarily illuminates white while adjusting volume, bass, or voice from the remote control. Another person suggested when streaming from a mobile device or through Alexa, the program abruptly stops after 20 minutes. That was a real concern as I like to stream music for hours. But happily, not for me. [UPDATE 11-17-2022: I am now experiencing this through Alexa on the sound bar, very frustrating.] I did not mount the React on a wall. I’d suggest it’s weight could be an issue unless the studs align with the hole template. SUMMING UP: Overall I am fairly satisfied, but I expected more in what I thought the sound should be. And I am frustrated I cannot use Apple Airplay. Otherwise, a very good purchase in its price range (mine seemed to be on a Polk short time price cut at about $180; the Amazon price went up to $270 two days after ordering).
