    I just got my new soundbar set up and I have to say, I'm more impressed than I thought I'd be. I would definitely recommend this for a medium-sized bedroom. I keep it locked in Theater mode and the dynamics sound super good. I'm already noticing little sounds in my video games and movies that I've never noticed before. When I purchased this soundbar, it was about $50, not including tax. I'm seeing that the listing price is increasing slowly, but for what I got it for, I think it's a pretty good deal. I might drag it out to the living room sometimes for movie night. I do appreciate how many connection options it comes with for the price, and that the company was so kind as to include the necessary cables. I chose to use my neglected Optical Audio port for this soundbar. All in all, a pretty good unit for $50. I'm not sure if I would spend much more on it than what I did. If you're an audiophile, it probably won't impress you, but it brings out sounds well and seems to be pretty sturdy. Just make sure you have enough space for it.

    Great sound bar for the price of $35. Perfect sound and easy to hook up. Switches from one device to another I.e. fire tv to ps5 to live tv. The sound quality is awesome. Better than the Samsung one I got.

    If you are looking for a decent speaker to replace your tv speakers, this is a great option. The sound is not amazing but its clear and crisp, and exactly what i was looking for. There are better speakers out there but for $50 I dont think you can beat it. Only complaint is I wish the buttons were on top instead on the side. I always hit a button when i move it.

    Amazon TV series 4 has a bit of an issue where vioces are super quiet when using streaming services (no sound settings anywhere on tv or streaming service fixed it) but youtube and games are loud. Grabbed these bad boys at a discount to see if it would help. They 100% did, movies are so much better now. They were super easy to set up, sounds great, and simple to use. The little light on the front can be a tad bright, but a strategically placed sticker dulls it out just enough and gives it character! Also came with every cable except hdmi, but it has the port so you can just grab one or use a spare. highly recommend if you need a quick fix for a quiet tv and you don't want to break the bank. I have 2 TV's side by side for gaming purposes so they were just the thing for me and they spouse!

    This little sound bar is a huge improvement over the stock speakers of my 43-in insignia fire TV. Hook up was dead easy. Just connect your HDMI cable from the ARC output of the TV to the input of the sound bar. Follow the instructions on how to set your output settings on your TV and you're in business. The ARC control will turn the soundbar on and off when you turn your TV on. Sound quality. It's actually quite good considering this is a small sound bar it has really good base response for its size and trouble response is nice dialogue is always crisp and clear. To be honest I wasn't expecting it to sound as good as it does. I just knew I didn't like the sound of the stock TV speakers at all so when I saw this I decided to try it and I am not disappointed that I did. I did briefly try out the Bluetooth feature and it paired up easily with my smartphones and tablets and enabled me to put my music through the sound bar. If you are looking for something that won't cost you an arm and a leg but will give you a dramatic improvement in sound don't pass this one up. Included with everything you need to hook it up and a decent remote to operate it. On my insignia TV that has the fire TV interface the insignia remote operates the sound bar perfectly so I really don't need the remote that came with the sound bar but it's nice to have it. As you can tell by the photos I was able to slide this thing right in my TV stand and it looks good and doesn't take up any space.

    Sound bar is easy to setup. Doesn't have a lot of bass. Good for bedroom so you're not using the TV speakers that are on the back of the TV (facing another room).

    I got it for my bedroom tv so i can hear dialog over my 20in floor fan. I purchased on sale for $60. Sounds good for the price. I can't give five stars due to the auto off when there is no sound. It turns it's self off to quick.

    I have been thoroughly enjoying this soundbar. For the price and size it has great sound. I’d say with music its pretty good but my favorite is definitely its sound for watching movies. It gives me, whos only a college student, the feeling that my house has surround sound! It really elevates the experience and there’s a vast difference between the tv sound and the tv with the speaker. It’s also great tech wise in the sense that, once we hooked it up through the hdmi port and set it up, it now turns on every time we turn the tv on automatically which makes it easier on is.

    We purchased this on a deal of the day flr around $35. There really arent any soundbars at that price point, so we were willing to take a shot on it. It is monumentally better that cheaper tv built in speakers. Limited functionality though since there is no screen or display on the bar, just an indicator light. Came with a surprising amount of accessories though! We’ll likely upgrade in the next couple of years, but i feel great about the purchase given how cheap it was.

    I’ve had a 32” Visio TV on my back deck for years. The sound always lacked range and power. This inexpensive little bar did the trick. It’s Fantastic!! Couldn’t be happier.

    Awesome Insignia soundbar! I bought it to go with the new Insignia Fire TV and it works great. Super easy to setup. The remote works flawlessly. Definitely a good sound upgrade for the 43 inch tv I bought - both at Best Buy, and both at an incredible price! Highly recommend.
