It adds welcome immersion during a James Bond car chase. To make the experience more theater-like, the subwoofer rumbles. This isn't a big deal in a two-seater (unless I'm trying to watch something with my husband), but I can see it being more difficult in larger configurations. In order to get a truly balanced sound, I had to sit in the middle of the couch. The pillow significantly muffles the side speaker if it's in front of it. In the app, you can create your own sound profiles and adjust the speaker balance.īecause I have the chaise, I have an extra back pillow that I shove to one side or toss on my chair if someone's sitting next to me. The remote lets you switch between modes (movie, music, TV, news) and adjust volume, bass, and treble. You really do need the Lovesac app to fully control the sound system. In the app, you designate your couch's material, and the speakers supposedly compensate for velvet versus leather or polyester. I've used the StealthTech for everything from watching "Squid Game" and "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" to playing " Hercule Poirot: The First Cases." The sound is clear and impressive, considering the speakers are covered in fabric.

Also, it turned out that my (admittedly old and inexpensive) TV wasn't compatible with the StealthTech system, so I had to buy a new one. My media console wasn't big enough for both my TV and the speaker, so I had to put the speaker on the shelf below. The final steps of the setup involve setting up the center channel speaker and configuring everything in the Lovesac app. The directions are clear, and the most difficult part is making sure you don't pinch the cables that run from the couch.
The side speakers are already in the armrests, but you do have to screw the subwoofer into the underside of one of the seats. I hid a few of my husband's birthday gifts in one. When you remove the cushion and a cover, there's a good deal of space for pillows, blankets, toys, and so on. The StealthTech requires at least one seat devoted to the subwoofer, but the rest you can make into storage seats. I did it mainly on my own, with some assistance from my husband when my groans of frustration meant there was no way I could accomplish a certain task by myself. That's a total of seven sides, seats, and backs, and it took me over four hours to assemble. My Lovesac is a two-seater with an extra footrest. I never got the hang of this, and I feel like my couch looks a little shoddy as a result. You have to tug fabric over unyielding rectangles and cubes, making sure everything is properly aligned. While everything is very well labeled - especially the speaker parts - and there are lots of straightforward video instructions to follow, but it doesn't change the fact that assembling a Lovesac couch is a pain. Putting it all together is a time-consuming and intensive process. Some actually arrived on different days, so I was glad I didn't start to assemble it before I had everything I needed. Each piece of the couch comes in its own box, and there were also boxes for the StealthTech components. The armrests also have wireless chargers in them so you can lay your phone on them for a power boost.įor several days after the couch arrived, my living room and office looked like a box factory. I opted for glacier crossweave, a gray polyester.įor the StealthTech couch, the side pieces have Harman Kardon speakers inside and a subwoofer goes in one of the seat cubes.
Already owning a velvet armchair and two cats, I knew I had to choose a different, non-fur-magnet fabric. There are 29 ready-to-ship fabric options and over 150 customizable ones. Or you can swap them out if you suddenly want a brown leather couch instead of a blue velvet one. In fact, you can toss all the covers on the backs, sides, and seats in the washing machine. The cushions for the seats and backs are fully removable, and their covers are washable. These all attach to one another with metal brackets that fit into pouches within the pieces. While you can arrange the couch pieces in a huge variety of layouts, the building blocks are all the same: cubes for seats and rectangular blocks for the backs and sides.
