subwoofer is for deep bass low frequency sounds.
you won't get a subwoofer included for this price.
you can't add a subwoofer later to this model akaik.

Not many reviews.
I've changed the title to 30w - 120w, as a bit more reading, it seems it's more accurate to say a 30w soundbar with a peak of 120w.

@GY A1 Subwoofer provides the low bass sound that most speakers don't have. It provides the extra BUMMMBUMMM that your neighbours complain about .
It takes the strain from the main speakers trying to get that sound and replicates/reproduces it itself.

lots of reviews on the argos uk link that I posted. (most short tho)

Reserved one quick will have a look at reviews.

reviews seem ok. most 32 to 50 inch tv's have 10w rms output as a comparison so this with 30w rms will be a fair difference.
if you have your tv in a big room you'll probably get a good benefit.
it won't be as good as a 200/300+ euro soundbar with dedicated subwoofer on the low-end bass sounds.
also connecting it with optical cable will be the best quality, bluetooth second and lastly (by a distance) by headphone cable.

I picked up one for boosting sound and it definitely makes it louder. It's bigger than you'd think,almost a metre long

Arthur Daley

Picked one up. Makes a big difference to the crap sound my toshiba 32 inch makes under it's own steam. Thanks op. Not many seem to in stock around dublin now. Little orange van in most places.

Cheers OP, might be perfect to compliment the recent LG 49" TV from BA.

imagine paying €32 for 2 bits of metal to clip your €50 soundbar to a bracket.

Instructions and/or photos or we don't believe you

30 watt is v.small output. Maybe an improvement but little else. If buying reasonable sound bar - need a subWoff.

all you need are two screws in a wall that will go into the holes on the back of the unit. total cost 90c.

overall it's ok - don't know why they put a huge led light on it - not what you want to be looking at when watching something.

Well... did anyone pick one up???

I have one on reservation for rest of today (Monday) and must make a decision by 6pm.
