Insignia™ - Powered Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - Black

Didn’t know what to expect from this brand . But I’m pleasantly surprised with how it sounds when hooked up to my DJ controller for practice sessions. Has a nice little kick to it and decent sound range.

Very easy to set up and use with Bluetooth, aux, or speaker wires to my record player. Has master volume, bass, and treble knobs, and the remote is great for switching between inputs from across the room. I'm no audiophile, but for the money the sound is good.

These speakers work well for my intended use. I got them to make my wife a minimalist turntable setup. They are easy to setup and work well. The sound quality is about average to good for this price point. They don’t get very load so if you need something load, these aren’t it. Also I’d read reviews that said you had to use the remote for all controls and was pleasantly surprised to find that it isn’t required at all. The top volume button controls the volume when turned and the standby/input modes when pressed.

Pros/Good things: 1 - variety of inputs: Bluetooth, RCA, and 3.5mm phono input --Bluetooth range and connection is good. I have not had any problems with any device connecting with the speakers. As well, I keep the RCA connected to my television's audio out, and keep a Chromecast audio permanently connected to the 3.5mm input. 2 - remote control* (also see Cons/Not so good things) -- having a remote is nice, but there are also volume and tone controls, and the input selector on the speaker itself. 3- volume and sound -- These are bookshelf sized speakers, but they do get loud. I haven't had any issues with distortion, but I don't play music at peak loudness often. The bass is good enough for my liking. 4 - misc/etc -- The speaker grilles are removable. The main speaker has an LED to let you know what input you are on. You can also pair/connect your device via NFC, though I didn't use it and only paired via Bluetooth. Cons/Not so good things: 1 - remote control -- The remote is very cheap - though I very much appreciate having a remote, this one is rather flimsy.

I bought these to replace a 38" Vizio soundbar which as far as soundbars go is really a pretty good performer but at the end of the day all soundbars use small speakers which can only do so much. I came across these shopping here at Best Buy and figured they were cheap enough that if they were not a good margin better than the Vizio, I could use them on my office 4K TV or bedroom 4K TV. So then these arrive and I was shocked at how nice these are, I mean wow, the build quality alone is top notch! So I fired these up and they blow away the already pretty decent Vizio soundbar! They are perfect because I can also use my Klipsch subwoofer with them! They totally rock! Flat out these are a tremendous value given their awesome build quality and sound quality! The Bluetooth also rocks, I had em rocking some good music in a matter of seconds using my iPod! 5 STARS ACROSS THE BOARD!

These Bluetooth speakers sound great. The clarity the bass are awesome. I wasnt expecting them to sound this good. Would totally recommend to anyone

It does what you'd expect for this price. I am happilly surprised with the bluetooth capabilities and ease of connectivity though. I ended up up upgrading the speakers. Bought an audio receiver and some nice speakers and I am happier now. Bass and Treble are not really strong enough for me to recommend it to anyone who wants great sound quality.

These are flexible little speakers. They sound great, for the price of course, with a surprising amount of bass. But the mids and highs are pretty decent too. I was unable to find another speaker in this price range/performance with a sub-out connection. Utilize the sub-out connection and these quickly punch above their weight due to handing off bass duty to a subwoofer. I paired them with Dayton Audio Sub-800, it’s a potent little 8” that’s also under $100!! I used the aux cord to connect to a bedroom TV for great sounding shows and movies. Near field Bluetooth works like a charm and the remote lets you select inputs, almost like a very simplistic receiver of sorts. By themselves or paired with a sub, you would be hard pressed to find better sounding speakers, for the price!
