Insignia™ - Powered Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - Black

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.

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

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!

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.

I purchased a pair of these speakers when they were on sale for $129.99 to replace a smaller set (3" woofers) of similar speakers I was using with my TV. Build quality seems solid and the finish on the cabinets is an attractive wood grained, gloss black. I tested the speakers using a variety of music and was surprised at how much low end these put out. Volume was another pleasant surprise as these speakers could easily fill a good sized room with sound. Plenty of input options, the bluetooth connection was easy to set up with my iPhone and works from a good distance. The remote control is also a nice touch. I would have rated these speakers at 5 stars except for one small point. The addition of an "auto standby mode" (speakers go into low power mode when not receiving a signal) would have been a nice addition. This was likely a price point decision and is certainly not a deal breaker by any means. Overall, I was very pleased and I decided to purchased a second pair (at the sale price) for use with a small, mobile recording rig I keep at my vacation home.

Have in mind you are only paying 80 dollars for this speakers(i got them on sale, regular price 199) as we all know you get what you pay for. Second day and so far so good, very punchy bass, tweeter doesn't handle very well at the highest volume even if you lower the treble. The bass does handle well just don't crank it all he way up, it does goo all the way to 3/4. Very nice features for the price. Its not my first insignia product so I'm familiar with the brand's quality and so far very pleased with everything i own from them. it has controls for bass. comes with a little remote( great feature). I was about to return them because the treble gets bad at the highest volume but then again i guess i could lower the volume just a little bit. I was surprised to see that it has bluetooth, rca aux and a 3.5 mm in aux. I'm pretty sure than you will be very pleased with them as well, i would buy them again.
