Not a huge audiophile, BUT
I just got my new soundbar set up and I have to say, I'm more impressed than I thought I'd be. I would definitely recommend this for a medium-sized bedroom. I keep it locked in Theater mode and the dynamics sound super good. I'm already noticing little sounds in my video games and movies that I've never noticed before. When I purchased this soundbar, it was about $50, not including tax. I'm seeing that the listing price is increasing slowly, but for what I got it for, I think it's a pretty good deal. I might drag it out to the living room sometimes for movie night. I do appreciate how many connection options it comes with for the price, and that the company was so kind as to include the necessary cables. I chose to use my neglected Optical Audio port for this soundbar. All in all, a pretty good unit for $50. I'm not sure if I would spend much more on it than what I did. If you're an audiophile, it probably won't impress you, but it brings out sounds well and seems to be pretty sturdy. Just make sure you have enough space for it.

50/50
Sounds good. Easy enough to install to the TV. If you want to use a HDMI, you'll have to purchase one separately. Won't connect with the Insignia TV program to use the volume through the TV I've tried several times to connect with it. Have to use it separately via remote. No volume bar to let you know how loud it is. I have it on theater setting. It's like bak in the early 2000s when the commercials were louder than the actual show. It also depends on the streaming service I'm watching as to sound quality. Overall I'm happy with the sound bar. And the price I paid for it.

Blessing at a budget
Amazon TV series 4 has a bit of an issue where vioces are super quiet when using streaming services (no sound settings anywhere on tv or streaming service fixed it) but youtube and games are loud. Grabbed these bad boys at a discount to see if it would help. They 100% did, movies are so much better now. They were super easy to set up, sounds great, and simple to use. The little light on the front can be a tad bright, but a strategically placed sticker dulls it out just enough and gives it character! Also came with every cable except hdmi, but it has the port so you can just grab one or use a spare. highly recommend if you need a quick fix for a quiet tv and you don't want to break the bank. I have 2 TV's side by side for gaming purposes so they were just the thing for me and they spouse!

Perfect upgrade for tinny TV speakers
This little sound bar is a huge improvement over the stock speakers of my 43-in insignia fire TV. Hook up was dead easy. Just connect your HDMI cable from the ARC output of the TV to the input of the sound bar. Follow the instructions on how to set your output settings on your TV and you're in business. The ARC control will turn the soundbar on and off when you turn your TV on. Sound quality. It's actually quite good considering this is a small sound bar it has really good base response for its size and trouble response is nice dialogue is always crisp and clear. To be honest I wasn't expecting it to sound as good as it does. I just knew I didn't like the sound of the stock TV speakers at all so when I saw this I decided to try it and I am not disappointed that I did. I did briefly try out the Bluetooth feature and it paired up easily with my smartphones and tablets and enabled me to put my music through the sound bar. If you are looking for something that won't cost you an arm and a leg but will give you a dramatic improvement in sound don't pass this one up. Included with everything you need to hook it up and a decent remote to operate it. On my insignia TV that has the fire TV interface the insignia remote operates the sound bar perfectly so I really don't need the remote that came with the sound bar but it's nice to have it. As you can tell by the photos I was able to slide this thing right in my TV stand and it looks good and doesn't take up any space.
