Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

I bought this sound bar because it was difficult to hear the TV sound from the built in speakers which were on the bottom of the set. The sound bar was on sale for $45 so I thought what can I lose. Set up was easy and the sound improvement was really noticeable. This speaker is not for audiophiles but is a step up from the built in ones. My only problem is with the remote, it is a POS. When I pushed any of the + buttons (volume, bass, etc.) the TV changed channels instead. Luckily I have a Logitech Harmony remote and was able to set up this speaker to it and everything works fine. Otherwise, I would have had to deal with customer service and did not look forward to that.

Got this using my BB points. Sound quality is ok. Remote has issues. Pressing volume buttons turns it off, as it sometimes picks up tv infrared signal. Have to point both tv and unit remote left or right of tv to get it to work properly.

Larger than expected, but sound was ok. If you are not looking for a lot of base, then you are ok.

Sounds good though not great, I was tired of charging Bluetooth speaker hence went for this soundbar with blue tooth capabilities

The sound quality could be better. Was a great price

Wasn't what I thought. Sound was poor and it didn't work well with my TV set up.

I expected better quality sound. Bass is very weak.

I had received this exact model soundbar as a gift and after using it a few weeks I'll give my short and sweet review: The Good: It is definitely an improvement over basic built in TV speakers these days. Definitely recommend cranking the treble and bass controls as high as they'll go to get it sounding decent. It has the option to use an outboard powered subwoofer which I have not tried yet. They do not include this and I do not believe they sell it separately. It's just a basic RCA connection and best I can tell it needs a self powered sub. These are easy enough to find, but can easily double the purchase price or more. You can program it to respond to IR signals from other remotes. It learns from the remote and not the other way around so you can use a stock non-learning TV remote if desired. I have not been able to get this to work, but this is due to my TV remote being Bluetooth so not a fault of this soundbar. From the manual it seems any button/command can be programmed in this manner. The Bad: The soundbar defaults to audio prompts and bings being on and they seem to be at a set volume that you cannot change. This volume is extremely loud and annoying. You can turn it off by holding the 'Music' button on the remote. However upon a complete power loss, it will reset. Volume control is not terribly granular. It needs more steps IMO. Using the optical input from my TV and with some content, the lowest two volume steps have significant level differences often requiring constant fiddling with the controls. The optical input needs more sound adjustments including a dynamic range option. Most devices are going to provide an unmodified bitstream through this method and depending on the content could mean significant volume differences and dynamic range. This unit plays everything as-is. As a cheap soundbar not really destined for proper 'home theater' use, it desperately needs more sound adjustments including dynamic range control. All you get are the bass/treble options and the Music/Movies/Dialog options which don't really do much except maybe a mild EQ. Overall it is an okay device if you are on a budget. It will be an improvement over TV speakers and is versatil with Bluetooth, optical, line in, and aux inputs. But I'd look to other branded units if you can afford it.

It's not a bad product but I wish it had HDMI port and a better remote. But it gets the job done. I have it on the tv in my bedroom.
