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

TLDR: If you have a couple hundred bucks and want a starter-level home theater system that will help you figure out what you want in a future, high-quality theater system, definitely pick this up. Buy a DAC to go with it, too. Throw the whole thing in a man-cave after it's outlived its usefulness. Nice system for the price, but it belongs in a man-cave or office, not as a real theater setup like I intended it for in the living room. I expected this going in, based on other reviews, so I have no regrets about this purchase. I bought it because I have never had a theater system, and have never been to someone's house that had one, so this was my first experience with using anything related to "surround sound" and I wanted to use this as a learning experience. Pros: It's loud. Very loud. So loud that I'm sure my neighbors knew when I had installed it. Simple to setup. Pretty straightforward to use. Great for watching TV and most movies (more on this soon). Cons: The fidelity of the speakers is not amazing, which is what I expected for the price and why I would not use this system to listen to music. The lack of fidelity is very noticeable on music, but I would say hardly noticeable (if at all) when watching most movies/TV. The primary drawback, for me, was its inability to decode digital 5.1 signal, and why I say MOST movies/TV. It will ACCEPT digital signal through SPDIF, but can only read PCM encoding (which carries 2.1 instead of 5.1). It cannot decode actual surround sound signal. It can only decode left, right, and subwoofer (the 2.1 signal), and this is a best-guess scenario when the audio is downgraded from 5.1/7.1 to 2.1. So most of the time it's fine, but some soundtracks end up very... odd. Like for Justice League, the music was extremely quiet most of the time, while dialogue, explosions, and everything else sounded great. Still watchable, but very jarring. RECCOMENDED TO GO WITH IT: I bought a $40 DAC (digital audio convertor) to decode the SPDIF 5.1 channels to 6 RCA plugs, and plugged those into the theater system. Real 5.1 surround sound achieved. Jank workaround, but everything sounds SO much nicer.

I don’t normally write reviews but these speakers were definitely worth letting people know about. If you can get over the fact there’s a lot of wires and can be difficult/time consuming to neatly lace them all when you set them up, these are worth every penny. I recommend using the Bluetooth or optical connections instead of the auxiliary port as the sound is noticeably better. Also adjust the equalizer on your TV or whatever app you’re using on your phone (Spotify/Apple Music/etc.) to enhance the sound quality even more. I was hesitant to buy a cheaper surround sound system because I was afraid the quality wouldn’t be as good as a name brand system but after using these the last month I have zero regrets other than the fact my neighbors probably hate me now because this subwoofer hits hard. The remote is easy to use and I like that there are buttons to adjust the sound levels of each individual speaker. I only have two complaints. One is that you can only change the LED colors on the subwoofer. All the other speakers just light up blue which I guess I didn’t realize upon reading the description on Amazon. The second thing is that there is no remote code for the sound system to be able to set up the function on my Xbox One that automatically powers up my TV/sound system when I power up the Xbox. Instead I have to use multiple remotes which doesn’t really bother me but would be easier just to use one. All in all, a solid buy and would definitely recommend.

The only reason it didn't get a five is because I could really use longer speaker wires on 3 of my speakers.Crisp, clear audio and really good deep bass.will be recommending it to anyone i know that is looking for a surround sound system

Great system

So I made this purchase a few weeks ago. It took two weeks to receive the product. I was a little disappointed, but it was fine. It arrived while I was out of town for work and was waiting for me when I got back home. Easter Sunday I woke up and said, let’s open it up. It was packaged wonderfully. Everything was wrapped neatly as well as securely. I tan all my wiring, plugged it in and was quite impressed. The sound quality was very nice. Everything was working perfectly. It was about fifteen minutes in that I went out into the living room to see if I could hear it outside of my room. It sounded like a movie theater inside the room, so I needed to check the loudness. As I was walking back into my room, I noticed there was no sound. I thought, hmmm, what could be the issue? Well, it turns out that while I was checking the lower on the back, as well as the power chord and outlet is was plugged in to, I noticed a burning smell from inside the receiver/sub woofer. It completely died. Fried up and didn’t even have it hooked for half an hour. So I contacted the seller. It has taken another week to get everything situated. Took a week to get all the shipping information and labels. Now I still have yet to receive my refund. I would have rather just had another receiver sent so I could send the old one back, but instead, I had pull everything back out, repackage it, and send it all back. This has been one hell of an experience and will never purchase anything from them again. I needed up going to Walmart and purchasing a Vizio surround that actually sounds better, plus, it was a little cheaper. It would be a great product if it actually worked. Buy at your own risk.

Showed up early, packaged was great. Hooking up the system was very easy. Plug and play, that easy. I also got wall mounts for the speakers and they work great with it. The surround is great in my rec room. It was easy to adjust each speaker to the level I wanted and now my rec room sounds like a sports bar.

Love this stereo sounds awesome, love the lights on the speakers, cannot speak for longevity as I just purchased not long ago but happy with it so far awesome bass

The Rockville HTS56 1000w 5.1 Channel Home Theater System is an awesome setup for anyone looking to elevate their TV and movie-watching experience without breaking the bank. It’s super easy to set up, which is a huge plus, and it delivers great sound quality that really makes your TV pop. The built-in lights are such a fun touch, adding a cool visual vibe to your room. I love that the subwoofer has an EQ that syncs with the lights—it’s a little detail, but it makes the whole system feel more dynamic and exciting. For the price, you honestly can’t go wrong. It’s simple, works great, and adds a ton of value to your entertainment setup. I’ve got no complaints—this was a fantastic buy, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a solid, budget-friendly home theater system.

Le son ne sort pas correctement et la lecture avec USB est au ralenti et se plante , la lecture par bluethooth est de très bas volume

It is exactly as promised easy setup awesome loud sound and good bass, I don't regret buying this sound system, the thing was the slow shipping it took almost 3 weeks to get it but it was worth the wait so just buy it don't think about it just do it 😀
