Sounds great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great in my medium sized living room with tile. The Bluetooth doesn't reach very far though, if you're using your phone and walking around.

Great product without the hassle of wires
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Insignia 2.1 Channel Soundbar with wireless subwoofer is a decent option for those who aren't looking to spend big bucks and have a relatively small room. Both items were very easy to setup and i had both setup/installed within 15 minutes. The instructions include a "quick setup guide" which was very easy to follow. I would recommend to use a digital optical cable (which is not included) to achieve the best sound quality and to hook that cable straight up to the TV, versus hooking the soundbar up to a blu ray player, etc. As the instructions state, if you do use the digital optical cable route, make sure to change your TV settings Audio output to "PCM". If you do not wish to use the digital optical cable, this soundbar DOES include a RCA(White/Red) to RCA Cable, as well as a RCA to 3.5mm jack cable which should accommodate all TVs. The soundbar also has mounts on the back of it in case you wish to install it on the wall which is a nice option. Overall this is a very good unit for the price. If you are looking to set up a small room and not expect too much from the options of this unit, this is a great choice. My only issues with this is that the remote is very flimsy. It is very thin and shaped like a hashbrown patty. It also uses one of those round thin batteries versus traditional AA's or AAA's. Also, the sound options are limited to 3 choices per the remote, "Standard", "Theater", and "News". News gives you the most vocal clarity, without alot of base, Theater gives you more base than vocals, and Standard is well, a good mix of the 2. This soundbar also is bluetooth capable which is great. I was able to pair my phone to it and play music without any hassle at all.

Not too bad for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not too bad for the price but the subwoofer cuts in and out during low noise moments like conversations. It’s pretty good with dynamic sound like scores, explosions, etc.

Quite loud!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for $129.99 and it was actually on sale for $99.99 the same morning before I went to the store to buy it. For some unknown reason, they've already bumped up the price when I get to the store. It's a good soundbar with wireless subwoofer. Installation is VERY EASY. You don't need to do anything to pair the soundbar and the wireless sub. Just plug them both to the power plug and they work immediately! Sound quality is great and it is quite loud! The bass is great too. Definitely room filling sound! But maybe not for a living room. The soundbar is about 36" - 37" long. I'm using this speaker for my Amazon Echo Dot to listen to music via bluetooth connection.

Not worth it...even on sale.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are not a fan of this sound bar and have since replaced it with one made by Polk. We were attempting to use this sound bar with our Insignia TV thinking it would be seamless and Dish Network. Unfortunately it was not seamless and we were forced to use the sound bar remote. Remote reception was horrible with the little remote; we needed to be close and pointed directly at the sound bar. The worst thing about this system though was the sub woofer. It continuously popped and distorted the sound coming from the TV. At first I thought it was because it was on our hard wood floors and was happening during intense scenes in a movie but it wasn't . I also tried it with low sub volume and high volume with no change in distortion. It would happen during the news and with all kinds of programming. I tried moving the sub onto a piece of carpet but to no avail...still popped and shuddered and just sounded all around bad. I bought this bar for $99 on sale and that was too much. I now use this bar for outside movie watching WITHOUT the sub and it works good for that but I could have spent much less money on a Bluetooth speaker to serve the same purpose. At least it's getting used I suppose. Anyway I would not recommend this sound bar....this is truly a case of getting what you pay for.

Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's awesome when it works. I did have to return the original one because it would work intermittently. The replacement has been working well. It has had to be reset several times, however.

Ok for the price

Great sound for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Every once in awhile it sounds like the subwoofer cuts in and out... but not constantly. For the price it puts out pretty good sound.
