    A good product for a 5.1 device without cables

    Davide Di Ridolfo | 3 February 2020

    • Pros:
      The wireless connection without any cable is amazing

      The battery sattellites
    • Con:
      The sound should be better for this price
    • Con:
      The sub woofer is very big
    • Con:
      Not possible to customize the sound, just few presets

    It is very user friendly and the fact that it works without cable is fantastic.
