Separate volume controls for the surround speakers are provided on the remote control, which also has dedicated bass and treble adjustments. As for the "wireless" surrounds, they link wirelessly with the soundbar, but connect together via an included cable and the right surround speaker needs to be plugged into AC power. The system's wireless subwoofer automatically connects to the soundbar on initial power-up. HDMI connections support 4K/HDR pass-through, and Bluetooth is onboard to stream audio from a phone or tablet. The LED displays the selected input: HDMI 1, HDMI 2, ARC-HDMI, Bluetooth, Optical, Coaxial, AUX, or USB. Its tempered glass top panel has four controls: power, input select, and volume up/ down all other functions must be carried out using the remote. The metal grille on its front panel has a basic LED status display that can be toggled off via the remote. Monoprice's soundbar has a clean, simple look. The soundbar and the satellites can be wall-mounted using included hardware. The down-firing subwoofer has an 8-inch driver and a 100-watt amp, and the two surrounds each have a 2.5-inch full-range driver powered by a 20-watt amp.

The soundbar contains four 1.7 x 4-inch midrange drivers and four 1.75-inch tweeters arrayed in a 3-channel configuration and powered by a 60-watt built-in amplifier. A user can typically expect to sacrifice sound quality and/or features, but the Monoprice SB-500 soundbar system breaks that mold by offering true Dolby Digital 5.1 with a wireless subwoofer and surrounds, all for $280. Value-priced audio products usually come at a, well, price.
