Small size big sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Mounted in a small 40' sportfisher salon under the TV . It has more than enough volume with engines and AC running.

Small size= small sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I know I shouldn't expect much from a $50 sound bar, but this did not meet my expectations at all. I guess if you're in a very small room this might pass for amplifying sound, but it isn't good fit for medium to large rooms.

not sure if it works properly
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound bar was purchased to try to improve a new 32" TV sound. It appears to partially work, there was only small improvement in the sound. The store help did not appear to really try to solve my issue.

Works well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wear hearing aids, and some times sound on tv programs is to low, with this bar I can set volume once and sound stays at the same level so I don't have to keep adjusting it. Only gave it 4 stars, as it is the lowest model,

Compact but no volume
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very compact, but not loud. With volume up high still could not hear the sound any better than just the tv speakers. I returned it.

Can't complain for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a complaint, but found that it won't work on a TV if connected to a cable box. You must attach it to the box. Precludes using it on any other inputs. Sound quality so so.

It was just ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to buy a less expensive soundbar for my spare room TV. I needed the optical digital audio connection which this product has. The online information stated the cable was included. After I brought it home, it only included the 3 line audio connection, I had to go back to the store to buy an optical digital audio cable. I was not too happy that I had to pay extra for the cable($18) and had to make 2 trips to the store. The sound is adequate.

Posted .Thank you very much for reviewing this soundbar, I am sorry to read about this hard time, the soundbar includes only the RCA connectors, but a good feature about this soundbar is that it is covered for 1 year under manufacturers warranty to have this checked by your local Geek Squad.

Insufficient amplification
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speakers do not produce enough volume to be worth the purchase. Hard to tell if they override speakers from TV set. Would not purchase again but it was a gift for Christmas to a friend.

Just ok.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up but not the greatest quality or sound! Spend a little more if you can and get a little better sound. Not very loud.

Won't connect to my Roku Smart TV

when it works it sounds great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar worked fine but then when you turn it on you have to fiddle with it - unplug replug several times to get volume. Shame

Decent for its size
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this little sound bar for my 50" Samsung smart TV, which has poor built in speakers. I was looking for something compact because I didn't want a long 39" sound bar in front of my television. This Insignia sound bar is nice and compact and looks like a center speaker that comes with a small surround sound speaker package. It doesn't stick out at all, which is nice. It has a nice low profile so it doesn't interfere with the television screen and doesn't take up much space on my TV stand. The sound on it is good, but I wish the volume could go a little higher. It has a little bit more sound than my TV, but the good thing is now the sound is coming from the front of the TV instead of the back so I can hear the TV shows better and with a tad bit more volume to it, it helps for those TV channels/shows that have low volume. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and purchased this on sale at Best But for $49.99 instead of the regular $99.99 price. I connected my smart phone to it easily via Bluetooth and played music, which sounds a lot better coming from this sound bar than my phone so this sound bar serves a dual purpose for me. Very easy to set up with the included cables so people both young and old can connect this to their TV without having to call a friend or family member for help.
