Rockville HTS56 1000W 5.1 Channel Home Theater System, Bluetooth, USB, 8" Subwoofer, LED Light Effects, Remote Control, Optical Input, for Movies, Music & Karaoke

Worth the price relatively easy to set up sounds pretty good.

Very nice and sounds great 👍 I would definitely buy one more like this one

I read all the reviews before buying the Rockville stereo, they all seemed to be outstanding reviews so I had to give this stereo a chance. I mainly purchased this stereo because I wanted to update the older Bose stereo I have with a more modern on which is bluetooth capable because I listen to Apple music almost constantly and hated that I couldn't play it on my stereo, granted this Rockville stereo is no way close to being a Bose. When it arrived the very first thing I noticed that I was disappointed about was the center speaker, I thought it would be longer and was disability because I wanted it laying in front of my television, to be honest all of the speakers are shorter then I thought they would be. Taking into consideration that all the speakers only have two 3 inch speakers in them other then the 8 inch subwoofer, it does in fact sound fairly good, unless you go in turning up each individual speaker as they distort and rattle. I seen several reviews saying there is absolutely no distortion or rattling but there can be depending on how you set it and the remote control is pretty confusing for a simple, cheap stereo system. The led lights on the speakers and main body are probably pretty cool to most people but I myself find them annoying, the led lights on the main body have a variety of settings but the speakers themselves only have one setting and can not be turned off. The only other thing about this stereo that I really do not care for is that the subwoofer is actually in the main body of the stereo, so if you have the stereo body on a table or bookshelf, anything sitting on there with it will rattle around and can fall off. There is some bass with this stereo, it is not superb but it is actually very good for a cheaper stereo system. Another annoying feature of this stereo is when it is shut off, there are two red lines that constantly blink where the screen is on the main body, I have no idea why they thought this would be a good idea, I mean when the stereo is off, it should remain off. The main body also has a knob on it with some stereo control features, it is very basic and doesn't control to much at all of what this stereo can do. In order to use all of the stereo functions you need to use the remote, so if you misplace the remote or if the remote is damaged then you won't be able to use most of the control features. Being able to adjust all of the speakers individually is very nice, that way if from where you are sitting or standing you can adjust them so you get the most out of each speaker but again that will most likely lead to some distortion or rattling. So far the bluetooth has worked pretty good, I have not had any disconnections but I have had some interference of some sort to where the stereo would get quite soft while listening to it at an elevated level, I am not sure what caused that but I think it was an app lagging or something. Overall, I would say for the money that this is without doubt your best option to get a good sounding stereo with bluetooth capabilities, it sounds very good and has some decent enough bass so you would be able to listen to your favorite songs and enjoy the experience whether you enjoy some classical, country, Americana or some loud rock or some hard hitting rap.

For the price its a great system after broke in a little. I was you could change the eq curves while in all functions though. Can only change those settings in USB and memory card modes but there is an eq on phones so no a big deal.

Right up front, I feel like I need to be very clear, this is not a surround sound home theater system! This is a stereo matrix unit. I have a lot of experience with home theater, at one time owning a Marantz Pre-amp, Emotiva amplifiers, Klipsch speakers, and SVS subs (had to sell everything because we were in a budget crunch). I know what I'm talking about and I know how to hook this stuff up and what settings to change and/or adjust.I hooked this unit up using the optical port on the back to my XBox One X. The settings on the XBox were on stereo uncompressed, when I changed it to bitstream to force Dolby or DTS it made an unholy, god awful, digital screeching noise. So I left it on stereo, but even with that setting, any surround unit with at least dolby pro-logic type dsp processing would still separate information from the front speakers to a mono channel in the surround speakers...this was not happening. Center channel information played out of every speaker. I tried using the RCA inputs and Optical output from my TV to this unit and made various setting adjustments and nothing changed...this is a stereo matrix unit.All this aside, if you're fine with a stereo matrix unit for home theater...I still can't recommend this. The sound is horrible. The highs seem to fade above 2KHz, and there doesn't seem to be much around 500Hz, all in all it sounds muddy. The sub is very sloppy, not tight, not "controlled" at all...it booms...but it's very ugly, it doesn't go very low either. Oh, and the EQ only works on the front USB/SD input, lol! ...And, no, You can't go to the USB input, change the EQ, then go back to your other input.The Bluetooth input on this unit was the worst input by far, I could barely hear it, even cranked all the way up...yes, my phone was all the way up too.Y'all! I can't even recommend this for the price! If you want an actual surround unit, actual, discrete, 5.1, with better performance all around, get this: Vizio SB3651n-H6 5.1 Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer! It's $160 right now. I bought one at Walmart last year after I sold all my other gear. I wasn't expecting much for the price, but my god! I bought this Rockville unit thinking I was going to replace my Vizio one......that's a hard, "HELL NO!" folks.
