Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked up the Insignia 5.1.2 Channel Home Theater Soundbar from Best Buy and honestly, it’s one of the best affordable sound systems you can get right now. For the price (often well under $200 on sale), this setup blows away most single 2.1 or even some 5.1 soundbars out there — especially if you factor in the included wireless subwoofer and surround speakers. Sound Quality: • The audio is rich and immersive for the price point, with the subwoofer delivering surprisingly solid bass that brings movies and music to life.  • With 5.1.2 channels and support for Dolby Atmos & DTS:X, it really feels like a true surround setup — great for movie nights or gaming sessions. Easy Setup: You only need a power supply and a few cables to get started — no complicated receivers or wiring. The wireless connectivity for the subwoofer and rear speakers makes placement flexible and gives that real home theatre experience without the headache. Value for Money: Considering what’s included and how it performs, this soundbar is totally worth the price — beating many brand options in the same low-cost category. Many users have mentioned how impressed they are with the clarity and depth of sound you get at this price. Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for great sound without spending big bucks, the Insignia 5.1.2 system offers excellent value, easy setup, and surround sound that punches above its weight. Highly recommended for anyone upgrading from TV speakers or basic 2.1 systems.

This is the solution I was looking for, great sound, easy set up, best of all no wires. The sound from my living room did not travel well, i would have to turn the tv up to a really high volume. Once i purchased and installed this sorround sound it solved that problem. Once the main unit is connted to the tv the subwoofer and other little boxes only requires a power source. This system deliver quality sound and has greatly improved my viewing experience. Even casually playing music from my phone, a great purchase and value for money.

The sound is awesome and it was an easy setup and looks really good too

The product arrived right on time and in perfect condition. Overall, it’s a very solid sound system: the audio quality is quite good and the 5.1.2 channel setup is clearly noticeable, providing a truly immersive experience. I’ve tested it with content from various streaming platforms, and it detects Dolby Atmos and DTS:X formats without any issues. It works exactly as described. Excellent value for the price.

I was hesitant going from a Sony soundbar and wireless sub to this but after 13 years it was time to upgrade. This was on sale and had the same features as some much more expensive systems and I gave it a try. Very easy system to setup. Just plug and play. All speakers sync automatically and the settings although minimal are just enough to tune it to my preferences. The soundbar has a a more luxurious feel and its design compliments my Roku Pro Tv. The surround sounds are clear and can get loud which was surprising. The sub has a punch with more than enough power for a moderate to large living room.

It has great sound, the subwoofer makes it feel like I’m at a theater. Only complaint is that the soundbar doesn’t have a pair button, but overall I love it.

Amazing surround sound experience at a fantastic insignia brand price. We didn't understand how basic the speakers on our TV were till we installed this system. Would buy it again in a heartbeat.

My skepticism was suprisingly debunked by how this Insignia™ - 5.1.2 Channel Home Theater Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer and Rear Speakers has performed since I installed it. Perfect for my personal setup, easy to integrate with my TV and definitely a major improvement from the built in speakers the TV provides. Great sound and setup for the value, can't beat it.

It's really beautiful and Great speaker especially for movies shows and gaming you can really hear the sound effects do to the sound bar.

For the price it’s a really good buy. The sound is ok but you won’t be disappointed. I have it set up in a my living room. The bass is just right overall 8/10

Great introductory 5 point system, good clarity and decent bass. Easy set up, make sure your tv and inputs support and are set up for Dolby 5.1

Surround sound set up is awesome , works great , sounds great , sub slams !! Satellite speaker are Bluetooth and put out great sound , the sound bar is very nice .

Overall very please. Great price point. Good sound.

Decent not strong enough. Lacks equaliser and limited options. Would have loved some basic customisation options. The LED never goes off when it’s on

The center channel is pretty weak. Forcing me to use volume leveling and dialogue boosting features of my TV (using earc). Otherwise good value for money if you get it on sale.

Solid 5.1.2 ch soundbar system. Totally different enjoyment for watching movie or play games. Worth for its value.

It is so amazing and affordable that I can’t believed!

Satellite speakers are disconnecting every time. And satellite speakers sound is very low. Bass is not so great.

Sunds really good but the leveling of the audio when using the bluetooth isn't great, sounds like the voices are drowning in bass and synth

I’ve been testing this Insignia soundbar for 2 weeks now, and I must say that I really enjoy this one. The front stage does most of the heavy lifting, and it handles it well. With all the media I’ve watched, the dialogue stays clear, music has heft, and there is some noticeable height when Atmos is on. It’s not the full sound bubble as most Dolby Atmos systems purport, but it does a really good job for my smaller room. There are no up-firing speakers in the rear channels, but there is lift in the front channels. Also, since the rear speakers don’t have height drivers, the surround stays more horizontal than vertical, but it’s still immersive enough to pull you into the movie depending on how you have the room set. Where this soundbar really surprised me is DTS:X. I don’t know if it’s the codec or just the way the tuning is done, but this thing hits harder with DTS:X mixes than Atmos. One of my reference test movies is “Bad Boys for Life” on 4K Blu-ray (an IMAX Enhanced disc), and with DTS:X on everything, it just feels fuller and more robust. The two particular scenes are in the opening scene with the Meek Mill song playing as they raced to the hospital, and the final scene with Martin Lawrence shooting the glass roof, dropping shards at the bad guys. It all surrounds you in a way that feels more natural and super immersive. My room setup is about 10x13 with 10-foot ceilings, and the sound filled it without needing to crank volume up. I had it at 24 to have a good time. The setup was very simple: no pairing issues, no hidden settings menu, just plug in, adjust levels, and done. The only real drawback was the connection options. There’s only HDMI OUT, no HDMI IN, AUX IN, and Power input. So make sure your TV has at least 3 HDMI ports if you’re running a game console, cable box, or streaming device. It’s not a dealbreaker, just something to know before you buy. Aesthetically, the soundbar is just decent. Solid grill on the front sound bar with a mesh fabric concealing the up-firing speakers. The buttons on top are oversized, which at first looked a little goofy, but honestly, it makes them easy to see and use if you’re older or lose your remote at night. One of the main downsides is that the LED indicator light on the front does not turn off. Well, I do appreciate it for notifying you of your current setting and input; it would be great if you could reduce the brightness because it could be distracting while watching a movie. All in all, it’s not trying to compete with a $1,000 system, but for what it is and what it costs, it is actually commendable. Clear sound, strong DTS:X performance, simple setup, and respectable presence in the room. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, I would definitely recommend it. 4.25/5
