Customer Ratings & Reviews

I often have to power it off then power it back on in order for it to work. When it is working, it works very well!

Sounds great but bluetooth syncing is sluggish -- it's almost impossible to get it timed with my TV's picture. Affordable, yes, but I can't use it with my LG.

System times out. Also i have to reset it often to get it to work

I bought this soundbar because I was not satisfied with my TV volume. However, I had to return it because its volume was too low.

We got this soundbar 1/2/26, sounded great, enjoyed it. Fast forward to 1/24/26, all the thing will do now is give us a loud hum. Of course the 14 day period to exchange it has passed. Not going to waste more money buying another one. SO sad that they are not meant to last longer than 23 days. BEWARE

The functionality of this thing is quite irritating, especially if using bluetooth. This is in my bedroom and it has a fun thing where it announces what it's doing, which you can eventually turn off. However with bluetooth pairing it will always announce in high volume if it's pairing, disconnected or otherwise. Which is great for waking up significant others when you turn the TV off at night. Additionally had a lot of issues keeping this paired to the TV, sometimes it just stops working and requires a complete power down for 30 seconds to even start working again. I decided to run an optical cable, and it does work better, but still requires ocassional power disconnects as the entire system just hangs out of nowhere.

This unit, when installed with a Insignia TV obstructs the IR for the remote control.

Mediocre at best. The sound is alright, but it doesn’t work with the Apple TV so now I need to hold two remotes.

This is our second sound bar and it is not strong enough. So we returned it and they suggested that we get a Sono Bean. We just bought a 65" Samsung from Best Buy and even paid extra for delivery and installation. So, now we are hoping that the Sono Beam goes on sale. It is now $499.00. This is what the associate recommended at Best Buy.

Not the best sound and didnt work with different apps

Dialogue sounds distorted and blown out through optical and HDMI trough ARC registers as connected by TV but sound does not work. Short return window means I am stuck with it now.

This soundbar sucks which is why it’s so cheap probably. It connected just fine to my TV for the first week & then randomly refused to connect after that. The manual doesn’t tell you how to troubleshoot it. Will likely return

[Employee of bestbuy] It sounded OK, but I had bad connection issues with the TCL Roku TV. I bought a TCL sound bar for a little bit more and it works great and sounds better.

Had issues with Insignia TV connection as it kept dropping and powering down. Tried two different ones with Insignia TV, not luck. Purchased a TCL soundbar and works well so far.

The Insignia 32" stereo soundbar is a solid value and I would recommend it for anyone looking for louder/better sound out of a secondary TV (I'll elaborate on why I make the distinction of "secondary TV"). This soundbar sounds crisp and clear and provides solid value at its price point. It isn't bare bones, but it is very basic. There aren't logos, or distinctive styling cues on really any part of it. It comes with a simple and small remote, which I can appreciate as I don't need the extra clutter and the remote being small makes it easy to tuck away. It allows for several different sources, including bluetooth. These can be easily switched through on the remote or using the buttons on the soundbar itself. The sound is surprisingly crisp and clear for a soundbar of this price level, but don't expect audiophile quality. Of course, bass is lacking, but that is to be expected without a dedicated woofer. It shines in bringing out dialog and plays music well. I tested it with some TV shows, movies, and streams from Tidal and was satisfied. Not blown away, but satisfied. As mentioned earlier, I think this product is suited for a secondary TV. That is mainly due to the dimensions, appearance, and build quality. The materials and lack of any styling makes it look and feel pretty cheap. Also, it's surprisingly large. It's too tall to fully fit under my TV (granted it doesn't block any part of the screen), and it's quite deep from front to back. This means when I enter my room where I see my TV setup from the side, I am greeted by a fairly obtrusive black box in front of my TV. It might be different if it was a pretty piece, but the fact that it's just a big, black rectangle with a matte finish makes it unappealing and keeps it from blending nicely. Summary: 4 stars for the value aspect. It it functions well and sounds good enough for its price. Docking the 1 star for build quality, appearance, and size.

The sound is not that much lower than my TV. It was easy to connect.

Didn’t play sound loud like I thought it would, tv played louder without the sound bar

After tweaking every setting inside my Roku tv, plus every setting on this sound bar, I can confidently say this soundbar is trash. It doesnt matter what mode or setting you use, this thing causes music to blast you into oblivion and dialogue to sound like mumbling. I got it on sale for only $37 and it’s so bad I am still going to spend the time and energy to return it

It would not stay connected to the tv and everytime the OK button on the tv remote was pressed it would go through the connection options.

Ordered this item and the roadie canceled. After much back and forth I was told maybe the item was damaged. I reordered and once again roadie canceled. Customer service cannot tell me what’s happening so right now no item and no refund as they must get the item back before crediting. Awful! Awful customer service
