Professional reviewers consider the HW-B450 a solid, budget-friendly option that delivers clear dialogue and decent virtual surround for casual viewing, but they note its shallow bass, lack of HDMI/eARC, and basic construction make it less suitable for serious home-theater enthusiasts.
Everyday users appreciate the clear sound improvement, easy wireless subwoofer placement, and compact footprint, while common complaints focus on weak bass, missing HDMI input, unreliable app control, and occasional dimension mismatches.
