Product Review (submitted on August 20, 2018):

I have two minor complaints about this item:1. The remote can be a little finicky and doesn't work. I think the issue is with the receiver. However, this is rare and not a major concern.2. There is no visual indicator of the volume. It would have been nice to have something like that. Again, this isn't the biggest deal in the world since you have to adjust the volume to actually see it on competitor's units (Zvox).3. It doesn't appear that I can control the volume with the TV/cable remote.4. The bluetooth range is poor to average. Zvox units are much better at maintaining the connection.However, all in all, it's a pretty good product for the price. I may relegate it to the bed room and put the Zvox unit in the living room as it doesn't have the same issues. I wanted a different company's unit since Zvox and iOS don't let you rename speakers and it's difficult to know which one you're connecting to over BT.Update: 6 months later the unit now shuts off on its own. It happens on either input (especially when the optical connection is plugged in). They will make you pay to ship the non-functional unit back to them. Will never do business with Fluance again. Lesson learned.Update 2: Received a replacement unit that failed again in 6 months. 2/2 failed in 6 months. I won’t won’t be paying to ship it back again. I’m done with Fluance.
