Afterglow 5.1 Surround Sound Wireless Headset Review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quick thoughts: I am coming from a 5.1 surround sound system that I had pieced together over the years, so I was ready for this not to be able to match it…I was pleasantly surprised. I paired the soundbar with my existing Martin Logan subwoofer and was blown away. The Good: Let’s start with the setup. Klipsch does a great job with packaging, labeling each piece, and providing instructions on how to set this up. I had everything up and running in about 15 minutes. I have a few movie scenes and songs that I like to put my audio equipment to the test with. Started with the opening scene of Top Gun, naturally. I think the Flexus Core 200 did a great job with the highs and the lows and when it kicked into “Danger Zone”, I was rocking right along to it and quickly forgot about my 5.1 system. Now is this a replacement for a quality surround sound system? Probably not. But for someone like me who recently became a dad and needed things mounted and away from little hands, this is a great replacement. The Bad: As previously stated, it is not a replacement for a true surround sound system. I found the dialogue a bit lacking, even with the dialogue amplifying setting on. It’s tough to replace a dedicated center channel, but I fault myself more than the soundbar. As far as comparing this vs other soundbars, I think this one is near the top regarding dialogue.

This is my first time buying a 5.1 surround soundbar, and I must say I'm pretty impressed with the sound.

I actually bought 4 of these to complete my 5.1 surround sound system and I couldn't be happier.

Set up in the negus room fir 5.1 surround sound. Awesome experience with sound.

Super easy to setup. Ditched our 5.1 surround system for the sonos arc, sub and Era 300. This system rocks! Super easy to setup and sound quality is amazing. No remotes, easy tuning (only ios), and thumping base. These surround speakers really put out emmersove sound. A+

Added as front speakers for bedroom surround system 5.1. Full rich sound, a great improvement over more compact speakers. Powered by Denon amp.

I did the Sonos 5.1 package but added the play 3's instead of play 1's. The surround system is unbelievable, and the Sonos technology behind the sound is even better!

Been waiting for this to complete my Beam and 2 Sonos:1's to a 5.1 surround for my smaller room. The ease of setup and sound quality is absolutely brilliant. Loving the sound on films and general audio playback. Fully recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sound 5.1 bar system is impressive. Mounting was easy, but I would recommend other dry wall anchors than what are provided. I pulled one loose when fitting the bar to the hanging brackets. That is the one and only complaint about this system! The bar itself has nice clear sound with an average amount of mid bass. The satellite speakers provide enough surround stage to my large bedroom. The sub is a very nice upgrade compared to most sound bars. The 10” provides enough bass to hear and feel it! The auto calibration is a nice addition since the satellites can be positioned anywhere you want, or mounted on the walls with the provided mounting equipment. The surround stage is very nice. Objects are heard clearly moving all around with nice detail. I highly recommend this 5.1 system in this package if you are shopping for sound bars.

Excellent for my size room and coupled with the Klipsch 5.1.2 surround is a perfect match. Great sound watching TV and movies. Love the Dolby sound tracks. I love Jazz music (Bob James, Stanley Clark, George Duke, etc.) and it sounds incredible. Very happy I chose Klipsch and Pioneer Elite.
