It will do a great job with sound effects either in your living room being so compact or in a home theater competing with any 5.1 systems out there.

Good job Amazon!

It does a solid job at this and setup was as easy as plugging the SoundTouch unit into the base unit and downloading the app.

All in all it does a solid job for a sound bar but don’t be mistaken in thinking this is a 1 for 1 replacement for a proper 5 or 7 speaker surround sound.

It does a good job of simulating right and left channel speakers that really do at times give you the sense the action is happening just to the left or right of you.
