Customer Ratings & Reviews

★★★★★ Excellent Value and Surprisingly Big Sound I purchased this soundbar as an affordable upgrade for my TV audio, and it has exceeded expectations. The setup was fast and easy, the wireless subwoofer connected without issues, and the improvement in sound quality was immediate. Dialogue is much clearer than with standard TV speakers, which has made movies, streaming, and even everyday viewing much more enjoyable. The DTS Virtual:X feature adds a wider, more immersive sound than I expected at this price point, and the wireless subwoofer delivers solid bass that adds depth without overpowering the room. Bluetooth connectivity has also been a great bonus for streaming music. What stands out most is the value. This system offers features and performance that feel well above its price range. Overall, this has been a great purchase, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, affordable way to significantly improve their home entertainment setup.

Great product I will buy again sounds good I’m home my set up was perfect for it

We purchased this soundbar while on sale to add to our new Insignia mini led TV, which had horrendous speakers. This soundbar & sub gave us much more than we anticipated. It's easy to set up, easy to use, fits perfectly in front of the TV on our stand, and sounds great - especially for the price.

Everything I need in a basic home theater system.Great quality for such a low price.The sound is great and the sound bar has a clean sleek look to your home decor.

Great value for an immersive sound setup. This greatly improves audio clarity and quality in any home setup. Subwoofer is wirelessly connected, still needs a power cable. It supplies a quality, clear bass that stands out well from the soundbar. In almost any configuration it will produce good sound. One drawback is on powerup it goes "HDMI!" pretty loud!

This sound bar is really nice especially for the price has good sound and I like how my tv remote can control it

Sound: Good for everyday TV watching—clearer dialogue and noticeably fuller sound than most built-in TV speakers. Setup: Usually very simple, with Bluetooth and common TV connections. Value: This is where Insignia shines. If you want an inexpensive upgrade without spending a lot, it makes sense.

This soundbar/subwoofer combo is an excellent setup for the price. I simply needed something that sounded better in my bedroom than the default TV speakers. This has done exactly what I needed. Setup took minutes and everything synced up immediately. I appreciate the ability to adjust bass/treble with the remote.

I got this for my rental property and ended up on the couch watching music videos and Harry Potter for a while. It’s got enough bass but not enough to shake the house out. Open box for less than $100 is a steal

I bought the 2.1 soundbar with the insignia 55 qled and turned my little apartment into a theater. I love the night mode for after hours viewing so i don’t disturb my neighbors. Did not think that the small sub would rumble like it does and the soundbar is surprisingly clear.

Was honestly hesitant with this move, as I never thought it could possibly be on the same level as a hard wired system is, but it has more than exceeded expectation.

Very surprised at how good it sounds. I bought 2 sets.

All I gotta say is, BEST BUY FOR THE PRICE. I would recommend these to any one that wants to add a little more immersion to there gaming set up

Great buy great sound love the theater sound is amazing

This soundbar and woofer combo has decent sound quality but my issue with this specific system is that there is no option to add additional speakers

Very good sound bar foe the price . Great bass response good kick and good highs iot also sounds great for music great deal for the price!

For the sound of the sound bar, it’s an awesome and excellent choice. The subwoofer sounds really good. Would recommend this for anyone who has a small one bedroom apartment for the living room.

It works perfectly on my TV, the volume is very good, we love listening to music and watching our movies using this soundbar

This product is perfect for my living room. Great for watching action movies with lots of sound

House brands, such as Best Buy’s Insignia, sometimes have an extra burden to bear when it comes to distinguishing themselves as competitive products among more established brands. Although there are always some design differentiations when comparing brands, a little industry secret is that often, for mass-produced items, independently owned and operated factories are making products side by side with more known and often more expensive brands. So, whereas reputational differentiation between brands still has some importance, realize that the actual production is often accomplished at the same facility by the same personnel. With that in mind, at the somewhat lower end of the soundbar pricing cohort, lies the capable, Insignia NS-SB21, a simple soundbar that includes a complementary-sized wireless subwoofer and a remote control. It includes audio modes such as Standard, Theater, News and Night to tailor sound to match the associated descriptions. Additional features include DTS Virtual-X Sound for enhanced simulation of ambient sound, Dialogue Enhancement for increased intelligibility of speech in program material, and Customizable Equalization at bass and treble frequencies. Communication to the soundbar is achieved through connectivity such as Bluetooth, HDMI ARC (via an included cable), digital/optical, USB and 3.5 mm auxiliary analog. Mounting brackets, a template and screws are provided for the soundbar and batteries are intended to be included (mine were missing) for the remote. Also, don’t forget to access the web for a more comprehensive user manual which I wish would just be included instead of including a less useful, simplified version. The subwoofer is quite sprightly, despite the diminutive 5” driver and extremely light over-all weight of only 6.61 lbs. There are only a pairing switch, indicator light and AC power cord input on the back. Obviously, this size driver/subwoofer does not lend itself well to larger spaces or higher volumes, so if you are realistic in your expectations and maybe place the subwoofer in somewhat of a corner area, you will see a bit of an acoustic boost in its level. The sound bar is fairly long despite only seemingly having two full range drivers emitting sound. (I could be wrong as the grill cover is quite opaque and there does not appear to be any on-line discussion/information sharing the driver complement.) The positive aspect of the unit’s length is that you will hear a bit better stereo separation as well as more realistic processed sound field immersion. However, its length might be more visually compatible with mid-sized screens. Like the subwoofer, the weight is quite light at 4.18 lbs., which is both indicative of its hardware simplicity as well as a hint regarding expected performance. Out of the box and after a little stretching (also known as breaking in the drivers for a more accurate depiction of long-term sonic experience), I think the sound is pretty good. I like the simulated surround function and each of the four sound modes seems appropriate for the names given and expected applications. The spoken voice describing the functions and inputs when selected, seems to be a handy helper, but may grow wearisome over time. The bass delivered by the subwoofer is adequate for the task and not likely to get you evicted or vibrate the plates off your shelves. It does, however, deliver impressive sound for its small driver size, diminutive enclosure and weight. The LED indicators on the front of the sound bar make sense and are discreet enough to disappear after confirming your selections on the remote. Connectivity worked as expected with a good variety of ways to connect to this device, covering most people’s needs. Glad to still see an analog connection available for the increasingly rare legacy devices that occasionally still need to be heard. Other things I like include the fact that the power supplies are built into both the subwoofer and the sound bar, enabling a cleaner installation without the typical bulky power supply brick(s). This is especially useful when mounting the sound bar on a wall and relying on the AC power sourced from behind a TV, because hiding a bulky brick of a power supply behind a flush-mount TV is much more difficult than just a cord. The sound quality of the system is impressive for the price and size and will definitely service the need of improving the anemic sound of most TVs, as well as provide a handy Bluetooth playing outlet. Another positive, at least in my mind, is that there is no additional app required to use all the features of the product. My opinion is that it’s just one less potential data leak source and reduces dependance on phones. Some of the items I’m less in love with include the remote’s text barely having sufficient contrast to enable reading in even a normally-lit room. The four buttons on the top of the sound bar are very poorly embossed as well as unpainted, making them very difficult to read as well. On a minor note, the port on the subwoofer is also very poorly constructed with a plastic and cardboard interface that are not in alignment, causing unnecessary air turbulence. The troubleshooting section should mention that when you see all the white lights flashing on the front of the sound bar after attaching an HDMI connection, that you need to enable the output of the TV to emit PCM/DTS mode (not Bitstream) to be compatible with the sound bar’s input. If you have any trouble connecting the HDMI connection on the sound bar, it will most likely be the sound output settings on the TV, and unfortunately the configuration settings may be difficult to configure as they are all slightly different depending on the brand. Be sure to use the cable supplied, as it will work and other, older legacy cables may not. Lastly, when attached to the TV via the HDMI cable, the sound bar announces, “HDMI” calling out the input being used whenever being powered up or changed. This is kind of too loud and kind of unnecessary after you use it for a while. Also, there are color coded LEDs on the front panel that also identify which input is selected. My conclusion is that this is a useful, enjoyable sound bar set that covers most casual needs well, is fairly priced and will bring enjoyment to those that use it.
