Good but not for tv
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price that I paid this was really good. But this wouldn’t be for a tv. Rather, I think it should be repurposed for a PC. I use it as a full time speaker for my pc.

Pretty good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio quality is decent for its price or even great. One thing that sucked about this was that it does not come with an optical cable. Other than that worth the investment.

Great sound for the price
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great budget soundbar. The sound is crisp and the bass is not like a full stereo sound system with a subwoofer, but you can push it up to feel the depth. The connection with the HDMI cable to the TV was fast and easy. Be sure to use the HDMI arc input on your TV. I had paired it to my phone at one point but have not been able to do it again. I am sure that is user error and not an issue with the soundbar. I wanted to play music from my phone through the system. I will keep working at it! The unit is very light at just over 2 pounds. Very easy to put in position. If you opt for the provided wall mounting, you aren't putting a lot of weight on the walls. I opted to put it under my TV on a chest of drawers in my bedroom. I needed to raise the TV slightly and found a way to lift the TV just enough for the soundbar to fit nicely underneath. It is small and sleek. I also like the "night" setting which turns off the light that indicates it is on. There are several modes- Theater (my favorite), news, and standard. I find that theater has the riches sounds. This soundbar will not give you a cinematic experience but for the price, it is way above the speakers included with my TV (also Insignia).

Nice TV Audio Upgrade
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Very good sound bar for the price and size
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It sounds really good. Keep in mind it is a budget model and its around 19 inches long. But for its price and size it is a large improvement on the tv speakers. It supports HDMI arc, optical, auxiliary, and Bluetooth. I have mine connected through optical. It comes with a remote and batteries included. It lets you adjust the treble and bass. It also has some preset modes. So if you are looking for a sound bar that sounds good and on a budget and dont have a lot of space for a whole sound system set i would highly recommend. And no this isnt built for audiophiles. Its for your average consumer who looks for quality at a reasonable price and want better sound.

Insignia soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently bought this Insignia mini soundbar from Best Buy, and I’m really happy with it.

The setup was very easy, and the Bluetooth connection works smoothly. I like how compact it is—it fits perfectly in my space without taking up much room. Overall, it’s a great value soundbar.

Nice little sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was purchased for an upgraded sound for our RV. The TV speakers were naturally lacking, and we wanted something with a more robust sound. And the little sound bar delivers much better than we expected. Due to the price point, we were not expecting the full sound that comes out of this small sound bar. So needless to say, we are very happy customers and very satisfied with the sound, quality, ease of use, size, and price.

My very first soundbar and I love it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was an easy setup for me. It came with everything. The instructions are so easy. I bought it because I have it insignia television and they go hand in hand. I like how I could just have the sound coming out of this and shutting off the speakers to the TV. That was an easy thing to do but you can adjust the bass and treble easily as well as the volume Very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone. I got it on sale and had it delivered to my home. I live in a very noisy neighborhood with a lot of traffic and now I can hear the television without so much having to put on the closed caption and that is a plus!

Better than expected
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Greatly Improved Insignia 2.0 Mini Soundbar 20"
|Posted .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!

Connected to projector via eArc, which was a major upgrade over the internal speakers. Perfect, compact size for my use case as it needed to sit on a shelf less than 3 feet wide.
