AV tech opinion
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its small but puts out amazing sound. I really have no complaints with this item. With speakers you have crap, good, and "takes you to another place". This is a solid good speaker, and for reference the "take you to another place" speakers are 4 to 5 figures each so for the price this is an amazing item. - 10 years as an AV tech

Solid for the price.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the sound quality for the price. It is a huge upgrade over the built in speakers on my tv. I wish it was a slightly lower profile but otherwise a solid soundbar.

Good Soundbar for a small TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good soundbar for a smaller TV. We purchased a 24" Vizio for our kitchen and the audio was poor. This soundbar works very well with the TV. It syncs with our cable remote and is simple to operate.

Small bar with decent sound
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because there isn’t a lot of bass sound. But for the little portable record player I am using it for is fine for now. It gets pretty loud for being small.

Nice Soundbar for small TVs
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my 32" tv in my bedroom to be able to hear dialog better. It was easy to set up. I ended up having to go back and buy the optical cord for it to work. It works well for me and what I needed it for.

Fantastic
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome! Really great sound bar, especially for the price! I have a standard size bedroom, nothing big, I don’t have to turn it up very loud at all. Installation would be easy for anyone. It’s definitely just plug and play. It’s not complicated at all. The set up with my new Chromcast TV was super easy too.

Good Fit for Desktop Computer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely simple and compact. Not for the concert lover but adequate for talk and background music. I like the sound being turned off automatically after a short non-system use. Allows the user to be forgetful.

It works
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works well for a basic sound bar. The only issue is that the volume is quite low even on high. I would only recommend for very small rooms/areas.

Nice little sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice little sound bar if you are limited on space. Wish speakers were slightly better but wasn’t expecting much due to the size. Perfect for the bedroom in case your tv speakers aren’t good.

Gets the job done.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy setup with a good instruction manual. Produces far superior sound than my TV speakers. Dialog sounds crisp and clear with no distortion. Action scenes in movies sound particularly good. There is even a decent amount of bass too. Also, the 16 inch width makes for an easy fit in my tv stand. For the money this a great soundbar.

Served its Purpose
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really enjoyed this sound bar however I did upgrade. I would recommend this for a bedroom or somewhere that doesn’t have a lot of space because the sound is sexy but it can not fill larger rooms.

Good product poor sales person
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This review is for three items purchased from Best Buy. First was LG 24" 24LF454B-PU, this was to replace TV in my motorhome. Did not need top end TV when only used up to 30 days a year. This TV only has (1) one HDMI and no other output/input Port. The internal sound on the TV has a lot to be desired. With the generator running was about impossible to hear. Had been using laptop to watch DVD, this was no good either. I went to Best Buy and explained my issue, and wanted a DVD and a Mimi Sound Bar. I took the spec on my TV showing that it only had one HDMI port. The first sales person said that it was not the best solution but sold me Sony DVD player, Insigia (Best Buy brand) Mini 2.0 Channel Mini Sound Bar, and also Insignia HDMI Audio Extractor. I had no idea on what to do with the extractor. I ran the HDMI cable from the only port on the TV to the Sony DVD player. The Sony player has RCA output. I ran the RCA output to the Sound Bar, that has RCA input. I am not good about reading installation instructions, they refer to many things I do not understand. I did get sound out of the sound bar one time. The next time I tried to play a DVD no sound. I also was having problems entering program setup on the DVD. Pack up DVD, sound bar and audio extractor. I returned the audio extractor. Talked to a second salesman ask how use setup to use the sound bar. Told hem I had got audio from the sound bar. Asked hem about installation instructions. He told me that he did not use them. Maybe he better start, and maybe he should know about Insigia (Best Buy brand) Sound Bar capabilities. He check out the Sony DVD not entering setup, and found it to be defective. Best Buy gave me a new one. I went home and called Sony tech support. He was very good. He said if the sound bar had RCA input, that it should have some setting for the RCA input. Sure enough I read the installation instruction showed settings for RCA inputs. May Best Buy sales people should understand they do not know everything, or do not tell customers they do.

Great for a second tv
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compact and works well on a tv that does not get used a lot so it serves its purpose. However make sure you go to the settings to get the sound "correct" for you.
