What's Hot

Great sound quality, nice design, support for a variety of formats

What's Not

Terrible remote control, somewhat difficult setup

The Final Word

If you can put up with the terrible remote and a slightly longer than normal setup, the HS 500 is a great home theatre system. Its price means it won't be within everybody's budget, but those after high quality audio will not be disappointed with this product.
