Easy to set up. Unpacking the parts and plugging in the power and HDMI cable should take about 15 minutes. I use hearing aids, but the sound quality from the sound bar is good enough that I don’t need them. I have my TV on the wall, and the sound bar fits perfectly under it. When I switch from Verizon to Amazon, there’s a slight delay before the HDMI ARC starts working, but I think that’s normal for that interface. I can use the remote that came with the sound bar, the remote that came with my Verizon service, or my Amazon remote to control the sound bar. When I play Amazon Music, I use the sound bar a lot.
