Insignia™ - 2.1 Bluetooth Speaker System (3-Piece) - Black

This bluetooth speaker system has good loudness for listening to music in our house. I'm not sure if it's the high ceiling in our living room or the speakers. I love the fact that connecting to them through bluetooth is SIMPLE, just turn it on, blue light flashes and find it on your audio device. I do believe though that you can only have one audio connected at a time. Also, if you are a heavy bass head there may not be enough sub woofer for you .I would recommend these speakers though, nice quality and function for the amount you pay.

I didn't spend a lot of money on these, and glad I didn't. The sound is completely mediocre, but equals the money I spent. Definitely get what you pay for.

Always we have to turn on the power manually when we turn it off.

REVIEW OF: Insignia 2.1 Bluetooth Speaker System (3 Piece, Black) Model: NS-PSB4521 SKU: 2744086 [ PRO's ] - Decent High tones. - Average deep Bass tones. - Attractive pricing. - Unit is good for small office rooms. - Compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled devices. - 2 satellite speakers 1 subwoofer. - 32W RMS total system power. - up to 32.8' wireless range. - Auxillery input. [ CON's ] - less than spactacular Bass tones for a standalone subwoofer unit. Still, the sound quality is a lot better than most small side-mount speakers. - Unit produces a very low-tone tapping noise when no music is being played through the speakers. This has been reported by other online reviewers and seems to be a defect in the model of all units. You can ignore this by reducing the volume when not listening to music.

At regular price of $50? Maybe not. But for $20 as I've seen it many times? Absolutely. I wanted this specifically for a STATIONARY (wired) bluetooth speaker in my garage. No intention of ever moving it since I already have numerous battery operated smaller bluetooth speakers, and no intention of ever needing to plug into the 3.5mm which people seemed to have issues with. So for what I was looking for, it was perfect. It sounds MUCH better than any mobile bluetooth speaker at that price point will sound. Is it amazing sound? No. But it sounds much better than you would expect for a $20 Insignia. No offense, Insignia. Pairing is painless and the range is incredible. It meets and beats the range it says and it even still works when I walk into the house, so has numerous walls/doors between my phone and the speaker. Very impressive for bluetooth. I have yet to have a dropped signal. Volume is acceptable for what it is. You're not going to throw a house party with it but for a two car garage and in the driveway you get ample sound and decent bass from the small sub. I would highly recommend it at the $20 price point and if you only intended on using the bluetooth.

This speaker system is close to what it should be, but it falls short due to issues related to the way Bluetooth was implemented. For a relatively inexpensive speaker system, the build quality is better than I would expect. This prevents any of the rattling some systems have when the volume is turned up. It's not solid enough to prevent any coloration of the sound, but for the price point it's more than I ask. Connecting via Bluetooth is as smooth as it gets, but it comes at a price. The system was designed primarily for Bluetooth connectivity with little regard for the cabled connections used when hooking it to most computers. The cabled connection is only activated when sound is playing through it, and it takes around two seconds before it detects the sound. This means it will miss the beginning of anything that is being played. It wouldn't be an issue, but if there is anything quiet or silent for 10 seconds it will drop the connection and switch back to Bluetooth mode. This is by design, and it makes the system near useless for anything but Bluetooth. The other side effect of how Bluetooth was implemented is a very noticeable background noise that occurs every 10-15 seconds while playing via the cabled connection due to the Bluetooth radio searching for connections. If playing sound via Bluetooth, the background noise is a constant. Since this is pretty common when using Bluetooth, though, that in itself isn't a big deal. In short, if you only intend to use this speaker system for Bluetooth and nothing else, it's not a bad choice. If you intend to use it otherwise, I'd stay away from it. Mine will be going back due to the design flaws.

I spent quite a while looking for the perfect set of speakers for my office. I was looking at products like the jawbone and beats pill, but wanted a normal set of speakers. I finally found these online and couldn't wait to try them out in the store. I was very disappointed with the store display (even after convincing the employee to let me plug my phone into the speakers). But as someone who also works in retail I decided to buy them and return them if necessary. I purchased these speakers to put in the office that my friend and I share. We each have a few bluetooth devices that we carry with us to work. I chose these because my logitech z313 speakers did not have the bass we wanted at the low volume required in the office most of the time. I brought these home for some simple testing over the weekend and I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of use and overall sound quality. I brought them into the office today and we were able to adjust the volume and bass to our liking without disturbing anyone else in the surrounding rooms. While I prefer the look and price of the z313 speakers more, I would not hesitate to buy these insignia speakers again for the added features. The sound quality is good. Nothing special, but nothing bad either. They are on par with the logitech ones but with the option to adjust the bass (a missing feature from logitech). We set up all of our bluetooth devices and listened to music all day without an issue. We have not tried using the chord yet, but we have no need to at this point in time. I could see these being a great set of speakers for a dorm room or bedroom/office. My co-worker and I are very happy with these speakers. Now our only issue will be what music to play.

The Insignia speakers are easy to setup and look good beside my computer. They give great sound in a small package. Linking to the bluetooth is easy, just turn on the speakers and pair with your bluetooth device. The only thing I do not like about these speakers is how they "autosense" if you have the computer connected to them. They are defaulted to blue tooth when you turn them on, so if you have them connected to your computer, but the computer does not have audio coming out at the time then the speakers just sit there and time out if no audio comes from the computer or no bluetooth device pairs with it. It also takes the speakers a second to "autosense" the computer so if you are expecting to hear all the little bells and chimes associated with normal everyday computing, you might not want to get these speakers. I think if they would have added a simple slider switch to select bluetooth or wired connection, these would be awesome speakers.
