Specs and compatibility at a glance
I wouldn't buy this without checking soundbar compatibility first. This unit is designed for specific Harman Kardon Enchant soundbar pairings, not broad receiver-based or stereo-system use.

If you need a universal powered subwoofer for a home theater or vinyl playback system, look elsewhere. This is an ecosystem piece.
Sound performance for movies, music, and vinyl
The bass character here is more about added weight than brute force. That's usually a good thing in normal living rooms, because built-in soundbar bass often sounds thin long before it sounds loud.
For movies, the gain should be obvious. Explosions, soundtrack swells, and low-end effects have more body.
For music, the result depends on placement and level. Bass guitar and kick drum should sound fuller, not swollen.
For vinyl, the answer is more conditional. If your turntable feeds a casual living-room setup and the rest of the chain is already decent, a compact powered sub can add welcome depth.
If your main speakers are the weak link, fix those first.
Setup, placement, and room fit
Wireless doesn't mean thoughtless. You still need to test placement, because corners can exaggerate bass and make a compact enclosure sound bloated.
In a small living room with a soundbar under the TV, this kind of sub can make streaming and casual record listening feel more complete. But if the room is large, or the speakers are tiny and strained, the improvement may still feel partial.
Apartment users are probably the sweet spot. You get more low end than the bar alone, without committing to a giant cabinet or a receiver stack.
