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

Bass thumps. Five speakers plus bass system. After purchase I realized that the system is also has fm/am receiver. Cool led light display options. One of the best purchases I've made. Clear sound at any sound level. Seriously cool system.

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.

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

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.

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.

I'm loving this. I was using a jerry rigged surround sound, and I've never used actual surround so this, this is incredible. First things first setting up was so incredibly simple. Part of that is the incredible length wire that's provided for the rear speakers. I measured (badly) and thought the location I'd have to place them would be meh, however, they were plenty long to reach the back of the room. I have full room coverage. I thought this was going to take me hours to set up. I think I had it set up and done within fourty-five minutes. It could've been shorter, but I used different wall mounts than the ones it came with. I don't have everything I need to set up correctly, namely a level and this system still sounds wonderful. Second, volume... be careful with this beast. I always test my sound systems (car, computer, etc) and playing from BT some decent songs, I could hear this on the road. So if you live in a city that doesn't put up with so called Noise Pollution, or neighbours who are delicately put- dick wads, get a less worthy system. The remote is part of the review, and it's simple and easy to use, no complaints at all. Overall, vaule for money, while I've only had for a few hours now (will update eventually) I'd have to say this is the best $150ish I've spent in a very long time. Update- I've have this surround system for about two years now. It's still as clear as the day I bought it. There've been times I thought it was going out, only to discover it was from the source audio, not the speakers. I had the led lights unplugged for the longest time, but having them on really can add a sort of theather setting lighting. It would be nice if there was a dimmable function for them, however, if found too bright it's easy to unplug. I can't comment on the remote as it's been long since destroyed via my children. For the $150ish I spent on this, it has absolutely been worth it. Overall... Complete satisifaction.

While I really wanted to love this system I just couldn't. Yes, the bass bumps and while that is nice it's painful how many frequencies the back side speakers buzz on even at very low volumes. It just doesn't process them properly and with no EQ settings you can't even try to correct it, the individual speaker volume level control isn't nearly enough, but I'll get back to that. While those two speakers were a disappointment, I will say that I was very pleased with the other three speakers and the sub. The quality of sound out of those four pieces is fantastic and I've really enjoyed being able to hook it up to my T.V. for watching movies and have my music playing. This unit easily fills my little apartment with sound. The trouble starts to set back in when you need to adjust the audio levels so you can hear the dialogue in a movie or get a little more clarity out of a song.. You need to adjust each speakers volume independently to draw out or decrease that speakers natural frequency range, but seeing as the three good ones seem to operate in the same range all you can really do is decrease or increase all tones aside from the bass, or the bass itself. My back side speakers live on -10 and still buzz all the time on all sorts of frquencies and if I even want to really turn it up I switch the unit to 2.1 and/or disconnect them entirely. If you just need to tweak the bass this isn't so bad, you just turn it up or down. While there are EQ + and - buttons they seem to have no function, upon further investigation it only seems to work through the USB input and accesses the devices eq.. not sure how you switch which part it is altering though. The head unit which is also the sub has almost no controls, which I knew ahead of time and was fine with until the item arrived with no remote control which was extremely frustrating. They did manage to get me a remote after a handful of emails. It took a few weeks to get here, but no big deal. My issue is more that the remote only seems to want to work from about 5 feet away and has to be pointed right at the unit for it to work, and even then it often seems takes a minute for it to realise you hit a button and often have to press, wait a few seconds, press, wait, press, etc. It gets moody.. Though, I must say, the absolute weirdest thing about this system.. it will pick up CB radio and ither similar transmissions when it is in Standby mode. So if you live near anyone that makes use of radio communications you may need to go to great lengths to identify the source and find out if they can switch they're broadcasting channel or you'll be sitting in silence on morning, sipping your coffee, preparing for your day and suddenly a booming voice asks if you copy. Made for an interesting day at least. It wasn't the worst purchase I ever made and while I don't plan on changing it out any time soon.. looking back.. I wish I had gotten something else.

Best investment for the buck

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 😀
