New model was worth waiting for to get HDMI ARC

I was eying up the previous model of this soundbar for a few months, after getting an amazing deal on my 40" TCL Open Box Fire TV from BB (see pic, I store the TV in my laundry room and wheel into my formal living room when needed) . The sound from that TV is a bit tinny, not surprising given the size. Well I am glad I waited, and even got an open box deal on this soundbar! The best part is you are able to control everything with one remote thanks to ARC compatibility. You even get an HDMI cable with the unit - I ordered a 2' right after hooking up to get a bit less clutter. As soon as the TV is turned on, the soundbar kicks right on and announces "HDMI" to let you know you are connected. Will this give a movie theater surround sound experience? No, but it's got some decent bass punch and for the price and size with my application, it worked out really well.

Greatly Improved Insignia 2.0 Mini Soundbar 20"

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Insignia is a trusted consumer electronics brand that I seek out, because the quality is consistently reliable, and the value is at the top of the charts. Insignia is owned by Best Buy, so you have the support of Best Buy backing up the entire product line.
Insignia enhanced their 20” Mini Soundbar, designating the updated model “2.0”. A significant improvement is: ARC (HDMI Audio Return Channel). ARC is a phenomenal tool that allows HDMI to serve as both an input & an audio output. You can connect your system with a single included HDMI cable, eliminating the need for a separate receiver.
Audio input options:
1 x Optical digital audio
1 x 3.5mm analog audio
1 x USB-A
HDMI ARC: ARC
Dimensions:
2.55” H
19.68” W
3.66” D
Weight: 2.2 pounds; Power cable is included.
A remote control with batteries is included with this soundbar. Hardware for wall mounting is also included.
The sound quality of this 20" soundbar exceeds my expectations. Dialog is sharp & clear; there is no comparison to the sound quality compared with the speaker built into a monitor or television. Do not expect a lot of bass from this 20" 2-channel soundbar; for the price, I was thrilled by the performance.
CONCLUSION:
The soundbar features up-front lights that show relative volume level. This is an ideal soundbar for a computer monitor or bedroom TV. With clarity that brings out every nuance, the Insignia 2.0 Mini Soundbar 20" earns my recommendation!

Nice TV Audio Upgrade

The Insignia 2.0 20" Soundbar is a very nice audio upgrade for a Samsung 32" QLED smart TV. This a bedroom TV sitting in a bookshelf enclosure. There really isn't a good way to place speakers or a larger soundbar, but the 20" soundbar fits very neatly under and behind the TV.
The soundbar comes with a remote control and batteries, AC power cord, HDMI cable, wall mount hardware and template, and a setup guide. There was really no setup involved, the soundbar hit the ground running after connecting its HDMI port to the HDMI ARC port on the TV and powering up the soundbar. The default TV settings recognize and identify the soundbar, and use it as the preferred audio output.
In addition to the HDMI audio input source, the soundbar supports an optical input, a Bluetooth input, a 3.5mm analog aux input, and can be used as an MP3/WAV/FLAC audio file player by connecting a USB device with audio files.
The soundbar has Standard, Theater and News audio modes, and has treble and bass adjustments. Once the audio mode and treble/bass adjustments are set, volume and power can be controlled with the TV remote and there's no need for the soundbar remote unless you want change the input source or audio settings. There are also power, input source and volume up/down control on top of the soundbar, which may or may not be practical to use depending on the soundbar location.
The audio quality is very good, comparable to a decent pair of bookshelf speakers. After setting the audio mode and treble/bass adjustments to my liking, I can hear bass very clearly and find that sounds like cymbals are crisp and clear. Volume is also not a problem, it gets obnoxiously loud before it distorts. Overall I'm very happy and even a little surprised with the audio quality.
This 20" soundbar has great audio performance, a variety of input source options including HDMI ARC, nice audio features including canned audio modes and treble/bass adjustments, and includes a remote control, an HDMI cable and hardware for wall mounting, all for $25. At this price point it seems like a steal. If you are looking for a good sounding and inexpensive audio upgrade for your standard TV speakers, this is a product that is well worth considering.

Better than expected

If you are looking for an inexpensive sound bar, don’t let the price foul you, this thing is really good considering the price. It doesn’t have a subwoofer so the only thing you won’t get is any kind of real bass. It does have an adjustment for the bass on the sound bar itself,it adds a little bit of depth to the sound but not much but at this price that’s completely understandable. Unboxing the soundbar the first thing you notice is how substantial it feels, it has weight to it and feels very well built, something you wouldn’t expect at this price. You get a remote, batteries, an hdmi cable and even mounting brackets for wall mounting the device. In terms of sound, this thing sounds much better than one would expect considering the price. When using the sound bar, there’s lights on the front that lets you know it’s on and Indicate the sound level when turning the volume up or down and voice prompts when doing things like selecting the source. If you’re someone who just wants more substantial sound from your tv or pc but don’t want to spend a lot, this little soundbar definitely delivers on that front.

This gives my 43" ROKU TV just a little more punch. The factory speakers on most 42" TVs are worthless. This was def worth every penny. I can actually hear what they're saying now. LOL

This little thing is great. Has amazing sound, i wasn’t expecting it to sound so clear and so loud because it was $29.99, but it blew me away. This “mini” soundbar can be heard from the outside of my house and i just love it. 10/10 would recommend!

I had purchased 2 different soundbars, one from Amazon and this one. This one connects instantly, has the best audio quality (base, clarity at all levels) and you can increase and decrease volume in small increments which is important for me. Don't have a single issue with it and highly recommend it over other speakers. And the pricing is a steal.

Great compact soundbar for the price! Needed a small soundbar for my new 32-inch TV, with fairly bad sound quality. This does the trick. Gives OK sound quality, not awesome, but decent. Has great hook-up options and features. The HDMI/eARC option is working well for me.

I initially purchased this sound bar as a stand alone speaker to play music/audio and it delivered with flying colors. For only 20 inches it packs a lot of sound for it's size and price range. Sounds just as good as my bigger more expensive sound bars. Highly recommend.

Been using this mini Sound bar for 2 weeks & I’m impressed on how well it sounds. Quality built and paid under 30$ because it was the “deal of the day”
At the time. Highly recommended.

Soundbar sounds great! We had to get one as we busted the TV speaker. Great replacement and small enough for our space! Easy to connect with bluetooth and turns on automatically when we turn the TV on.
