I got this as part of a promotional deal with my LG 47LM6700 3D TV. It is not being used with that TV since I have a proper surround setup in my family room. I am using it in my bedroom with the Samsung TV the LG replaced. One thing about sound bars is that they usually need to be placed in a square or rectangular room to get a good simulated surround effect. My bedroom is sort of an odd shape so I wasn't expecting much.
Upon unpacking I was disappointed by how light the subwoofer was; it felt cheap, but looks good. Pairing the subwoofer and a HP Touchpad tablet to the sound bar was an absolute breeze. But the Bluetooth range is poor; only about 10 feet. This is the main reason I only gave it 4-stars. The other thing that disappointed me was that LG used toslink instead of hdmi for the sound. This means no CEC; you cannot use your TV remote to control the sound bar. I have a universal remote that will control both, but I can see why some people are upset by this poor design idea. I would have given it 3-stars because of this, but then I turned it on.
The sound is usually what's most important. For a

1. Features: Bluetooth is great. Works flawlessly w my iPhone. Pre-designed EQs sound good and offer variety. "3D Surround" sounds great. Seamlessly integrates w TV by detecting presence of optical signal and turning on or off automatically. *Wireless subwoofer is cool, but may contribute to the deficiency of adequate bass performance.
2. Sound: Mids and highs sound crystal clear. Pretty amazing actually. Breadth of the mids and highs is truly impressive. Bass performance is very deficient--much less bass performance than with the cheap $100 system I replaced. This is disappointing. I suspect this may be due to the subwoofer's wireless status--perhaps it just can't communicate the bass response as well wirelessly. (?)
3. Appearance: High-quality materials. Very attractive. Glowing LED light on subwoofer is extremely annoying.
4. Overall: Ambiguous performance that I personally can live with. Wish there was more bass presence. But the rest of the spectrum sounds awesome.

I recently bought a new LG video system: a 47LM7600 3D Smart HDTV, a BP620 Blueray player, and the NB3520A Sound Bar & Subwoofer. Overall, I am very happy with everything. But, related to the Sound Bar, I have a couple of nits to pick.
First, the praise... The Sound Bar system produces excellent audio, especially for movies where I prefer to crank it up a bit. That, alone would rate it 5 stars based on quality of audio versus price.
The first nit is that the volume control does not pair with the HDTV remote's volume control. There are a variety of solutions for that. For example, I have a universal remote that "locks" its volume control to the Sound Bar. But LG should have integrated the functionality and not require me to acquire and program a third-party remote for that.
The second nit is that there is no return-feed to the TV so that sound bar settings can be integrated with the TV settings menus. This is especially egregious when I consider how well the TV and non-LG cable controller (Motorola, from Verizon FiOS) are integrated.
If this was an assemblage of multiple vendors' products, I could better understand the lack of integration and the need for a third-party universal remote.
Not to over-value these issues, I'm knocking-off one star from the rating. So it's four stars.
UPDATE 8/24/12
I also posted this review on the LG site. It was rejected for not following their "guidelines", even though it does. So I'm knocking off another star from the rating, as their action reflects poorly on their customer service attitude.
