Good Entry Level Sound Bar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I you are looking for a soundbar with a small footprint and a lower price point that still can deliver decent sound you may want to consider this one. Bear in mind it can't compete with a unit that costs $500.00 or more, but if you want to improve the sound over your TV speakers it does the job.

Considering the price, it's a good soundbar.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is very small and low profile. Good if you are short on space. Sound is good. For the price, It is a great soundbar. However, it is not a Samsung with Dolby Atmos. Normally you get what you pay for, but this mini soundbar provides great sound over most TV speakers.

Quite surprised!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned this compact soundbar for about 4 months now, and I have to say that I definitely am pleased with it. I was rather surprised to found out that this soundbar can give off quite a good amount of sound that's clear, despite the size and the price that it was at. Now does it beat soundbars from the big companies? Of course not. But that doesn't help degrade the overall quality, especially if someone is just looking for something simple to work with and isn't wanting to spend a whole lot of $$$. The main thing I love about this soundbar is the overall size. The box suggested that it would be a bit big, but in reality, it really is a compact soundbar. This means it won't take up a lot of room, and it can also fit perfectly on your desk if you're using it as a computer speaker, which is what I'm doing.

Sufficient for a small household
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this unit on a Daily Deal because I wanted at least slightly better sound quality and volume for my TV at home. I have a slightly sizeable living room but I also don't have the guys over to watch games, I'm not into gaming and don't really care for special effects movies/TV shows. For what I do watch, the sound quality is definitely a vast improvement from the stock speakers of my Sony 48" LED. The volume though is lacking for my size room. Not a hard knock on this unit as I should have known such a small unit would only be capable of so much. One benefit I was not expecting was that I thought I'd have to use the provided remote for controlling volume. If I use the remote from Sony or from my TV service provider, it's able to adjust the volume of the speaker just fine. I probably should have known that going in but a nice perk nonetheless.

Nice size
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So wanted better sounding speakers for my TV, PS4, music streaming etc.. but didn't want a large bar taking up to much space. This sound bar is great, small size and loud sound, love the fact that it has Bluetooth as well!

Great for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker is really good, specially for the price. It has a really clear sound, it's not over powering with base. It is Also very simple to set up. So if the speakers on your TV go out like mine did, this is the best in expensive speaker to buy

Just Right Sound Bar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar is surprisingly powerful for it's size. It was easy to connect. It provides an improved volume richness over the meek flat screen TV sound. I am using it in a small bedroom. It might not be effective in a larger room.

Great, inexpensive tv soundbar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is an excellent value for the price. The only reason I subtracted a star is because I wish it had the capability to set an audio delay to sync audi and video on the tv. The audio is surprisingly good for the size of the speakers. It’s only about 30W, but that’s more than enough to fill a medium-sized room. (By the way, I read somewhere that most household speakers never ever go above 30 Watts, for what it’s worth). If you want more sound you will have to pay more, but this is a great starter speaker, especially when it’s on sale. The bass is not amazing. I use it mostly for tv dialogue.

Great Sound for the Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Room-filling sound with lots of depth + Bluetooth to connect a device to is awesome. Only complaint is that bass is a little low, but what can you expect from a $50 sound bar that's less than a foot long?

Amazing Sound Boost
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this sound bar without looking at reviews for it or any other one. I was just on the search for a sound bar for my mom's living room TV (the speakers were starting to crackle) and my mom has doesn't always use her hearing aids/is too stubborn to buy a sound bar herself. After hooking it up, SO SIMPLE just a few cords to plug in, the sound is AMAZING. It makes the TV sound better and LOUDER without maxing out the speaker at all. I would 10/10 recommend this speaker.

Great Soundbar for the Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a new TV that didn't have very good sound. I was looking for a small sound bar that was reasonably priced and this one filled the bill. The sound is great and was very easy to install. I did buy an extra cable in order to hook it up to the optical port that the manual suggested for the best sound. I'm very happy with it so far and would recommend to anybody who is looking for a better sound for a 32" flat screen like I have.

Budget friendly option
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's not a bad soundbar overall. It's perfect for smaller rooms and budget friendly. We've even taken it outside over the summer for tunes while we're in the pool.

Surprisingly powerful mini speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to hook up to a 42" bedroom TV, and I didn't expect much, but it didn't disappoint. It was a huge improvement over the TV speakers. I also connected up the analog inputs to my Amazon Echo to do multi-room audio as well as connected it to the Echo via Bluetooth. Having all of these options was nice, and the speaker sounds great. It does lack some bass, but what can you expect from such a small speaker. My only complaint is the remote. It doesn't always register until you get closer. I tried replacing the battery, but this didn't help. We just end up leaving it on all the time and controlling it with my TiVo remote. The odd thing with the TiVo remote is that while the volume buttons work great, the mute button is temperamental.

Convenient, good value.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for something to bump up my volume on TV without being too conspicuous. This sound bar did the trick. It amplifies sound effectively and connects easily to my bluetooth devices. for $50, it did the trick.

Great Sound For The Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was surprised when I installed this mini sound bar to my 43 inch roku smart tv. Even though I had problems at first( it was mainly sound settings on the tv) the sound is of great quality! If you have minimal space and is looking for a affordable sound bar this is the one you need. It delivers great sound, quality and is very easy to use. Not to mention that it has bluetooth too! I recommend this product :)

Nice for smaller TV's
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for a small 32" Vizio TV I have in the bedroom. The TV struggled when playing music and movies, and would distort at high volumes. This worked out okay for what I wanted, it's definitely a step up from the TV speakers. The bass is not impressive obviously it's small, and if you want bass then you're going to have to spend more on something that includes a subwoofer. For a bedroom TV this does the job, I wish I didn't have to use a seperate remote to control the volume and power it on and off. I wish it had a setting where it would power on with the TV.

Very impressed!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A few months ago we replaced our bedroom TV with a TCL Roku unit from Best Buy. Mostly, the wife watches TV right before she goes to sleep and we are very happy with the TV. However, from time to time, certain Dish Network channels, Roku, or Amazon Fire TV Stick apps don't seem quite loud enough. I was in Best Buy recently and saw this unit. The mini size was perfect, we didn't need a sub-woofer, and the price was worth taking a gamble on. I brought it home, hooked it up, and there was no sound. It was connected via the included RCA cables and I swapped them for others I had. Still no sound. I checked every setting on my TV. Still no sound. Reading the manual and looking at the unit, I see it has an optical port. I head back to Best Buy and grab the cheapest optical cable they had. Once I hooked it up that way, we had sound! And what sound it is! We were both extremely impressed with the quality and volume. Others may find it annoying to turn it on each time they want to watch TV, but for us, having the unit off until we need it is a best.

Pretty good for the size and money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I added a small (28") TV over the poker table in my game room, and could not believe how horrifically terrible the sound was. So I dig a little digging and came across this soundbar. First of all, it's way smaller than you'd think it is. It's downright tiny. That being said, the sound is surprisingly good for its size. It can't compete with my full Dolby Atmos home theater system, but it sounds better than most (if not all) TV speakers. Now I need to find a way to mount it below the TV. It's so small and light, I am actually going to try the Velcro-like fasteners (plastic on both sides, way stronger than Velcro). Pretty sure that'll hold it to the bottom of the TV.
