    Nice Soundbar, Crummy Remote Control

    Nice sound bar for the price. Sound was pretty good after making some adjustments, though the bass was lacking somewhat. Connecting a spare subwoofer I had made this sound great. I am currently using it with an old TV (RCA), an Echo Dot (Aux), and various bluetooth-connected devices. My biggest complaint is that it came with a tiny, poor-quality remote control. (The remote I received is photographed sitting on top of a 3 x 5 index card.) Other stores apparently ship it with a much better remote. The better remote with real buttons (as pictured on Best Buy's web site) is available from the iLive web site, for around $21 with shipping added on, but should have been included.

    Easy to set up

    Initial set up was very easy. Only issue I have with this sound bar is that I can’t control it with my cable remote.

    Sound enhancer

    Decent sound and reasonable price- my TV is housed within a built in and the sound was dampened to a point. This unit has helped. Setup became more involved/time consuming when I did have to contact the manufacturer of this unit AND TV to get assistance into a TV sub menu to adjust settings to 'turn on' this speaker for it to work. The Power OFF (Red) and ON (Amber) lights are pretty close in color at a glance and sometimes easy to miss that the sound bar is turned off rather than on. Worst two features: It requires two remotes now- TV control and the sound bar remote to control volume only- major hassle. AND, there is NO indication of volume level (scale, numbers, etc.) to allow you to know where it is or was set at- you have to go by the sound level coming out which of course changes constantly. All expected at this price point, I suppose. If the above is not a concern, you will likely be satisfied and probably can't beat the price.

    Big sound. Small price.

    Even though I was not familiar with this brand they did not disappoint. Nice little soundbar with all the audio adjustments you need. Great sound improvement over those tiny flat screen tv speakers. Don't watch tv without a soundbar! You'll never go back to poor, old fashioned tv audio again.

  • I understand this will connect to my bluetooth tv. The question is is there any lag between the tv and speaker. My example would be mouths not matching words on tv.

    This unit will connect to your TV if it has a bluetooth functionality. The bluetooth version for this model is 5.0 and can connect within a distance of up to 50 feet. Generally, there shouldn't be any lag if the soundbar is within 10 feet away from the TV.
