User reviews

Honestly seems a bit basic in features. (we don't use Alexa) Main gripe is the ATS1090 powers off at times when it shouldn't. I can't find a way to disable the sleep timer(?) or adjust it to an hour or something. Very annoying.

wont stay connected to firestick bluetooth during bathroom or dinner break for example. can't adjust the highs/mids/lows individually to hear netflix voices louder. Alexa has a lot of flaws - it will not turn the volume up/connect to Bluetooth when told "connect to Bluetooth"/or do other things that the echo devices do. I bought this for a louder Echo type device vs the loudest=echo 4th gen and it has a lot of annoying flaws. it turns light lights on or off for example 50% of the time.

confusing when switching between TV, WiFi and streaming. instead of selecting which you would like to use you must power up the sound bar. then switch screens and select what you would like to use. It should automatically power up when you select an option especially streaming music from Wi-Fi. You should not have to go through needless steps and back and forth in the app.
