Customer Ratings & Reviews

After reading the reviews I purchased this soundbar and I'm completely satisfied

Enjoy it, gives more clarity to sound, and is not an eyesore as so many are

It is a awsome sound system love it. I would recommend this to everyone

Easy set up. Works great with a nice sound. Does what I needed it to do

Accompanies the TV perfectly. Adds a good amount of volume to the tv

Sound quality is alright for just a bar and subwoofer but I don't think it would sound good in a bigger room. Bought due to price but obviously lower price equals lower quality

this sound bar is great and the wireless connection is awesome.

Our new den is the perfect size for the sound bar and 55 in. Tv

Bought this as a Father's Day gift for my dad and he loves it

Great item for a large or small room. I gave this as a gift

WORKS GREAT WITH INIGNIA SMART TV. GREAT FORMASTER BEDROOM

Good base Is very good and the price was a Best Buy for sure

I highly recommend this product to and your family

The TV sounds much better then using the tvs speaker

This product is stream line, and performs perfectly.

Sound is OK Worst thing is the subwoofer blinks blue when the soundbar is turned off. Very annoying since I put it in our bedroom

This is the second sound bar in my house, the other is an LG 2.1 ch 300W sound bar purchased several years ago for bedroom viewing. I am a guy who likes the complex sound only a true surround sound system can deliver. BUT for spare bedrooms, or for the ease and simplicity for my parents (who aren't tech savvy) sound bars are great. This Insignia sound bar is a great value that I believe best suited for those who either 1) just want simple speakers to replace speakers built in the TV; 2) need something easy to use. Setup was pretty simple (although the box it comes in is huge, the sound bar and subwoofer are smaller than you'd think and much lighter). The subwoofer is wireless, which is a huge plus. You just need to plug it into the wall outlet and when you turn on the soundbar it connects automatically. The sound bar itself is rather plain looking and one negative is no dialog screen indicating volume, input source, etc. There's just a red light when it's off, blue when it's on. It has an optical cable connection which I prefer to use, but the speaker doesn't come with one. It does come with RCA (red and white) cables as well as an RCA to 3.5 mm jack (headphone size) adapter. I thought this was nice as some older TV's may lack the red and white RCA connection for sound output. I connected the sound bar to my TV with the RCA cables that were included and used the 3.5mm adapter because my TV had a headphone jack, and quite honestly, if I didn't use the 3.5mm adapter I would probably misplace it. That part was easy. What was a big negative to me was the length of the power cable. I didn't measure it, but I would say the power cable was maybe 3 feet, which really limits placement of the speaker. I had to use an indoor extension cord to get it to the outlet. DEFINITELY something to keep in mind. The LG soundbar I mentioned, I attached to the wall. It included a wall mounting bracket. The Insignia model doesn't have a bracket, nor does it have any hardware to place on the wall out of the box. Again, something to keep in mind depending on where you put it because a separate bracket allows you more flexibility in where you can hang it; more specifically, it gives you more wiggle room to locate a stud and keep it centered). The Insignia soundbar does, however, have a nice thin cardboard template that you can place on the wall and use to help place the mounting hardware that you purchased separately (I would think some decent drywall anchors would do the trick given how light this sound bar is) but I'm OCD and prefer installing it on a wood stud, and this is another knock because the "holes" on the back of the sound bar where it would hang are obviously "set." So depending on where your TV is (assuming wall mounted) you might just be leaving it up to luck in finding a stud that is in the exact spot as the "holes" on the back of the sound bar. IF YOU INTEND to leave the sound bar on a hard surface in front of or beneath your TV, then this would NOT be a reason NOT to buy it. It has built in bluetooth, and I connected my phone without any issue. But I would prefer a menu screen on the soundbar itself so I knew if it was going to outsource the sound on my phone or the TV. No big deal, as there's only two options, it's just a convenience thing. Lastly, sound quality. This sound bar sounds average. Again, I prefer true 7.1 surround sound speakers, so you are going to take a hit in quality when using ANY sound bar. But there are better sounding sound bars out there. It gets plenty loud and the bass has some good punch in it, but the mids don't quite get there and the sound can be hollow depending on what you're watching. Imagine the quailty of the speakers built into your TV, this sound bar essentially takes that quality and makes it louder, with a dedicated subwoofer to provide some punch. To wind it up, if you need a simple sound bar, this is an extremely great value. The wireless subwoofer is a great touch as it allows you the freedom to put it anywhere in the room and not have to worry about connecting a cable to it. It is simple to set up (I mean physically connect) so I recommend it for those people wanting better sound than the speakers built into their TV but need something simple to install. It is idiot proof in that regard as there are only two inputs in the back (RCA and digital optical cable). The remote is very cheap feeling, but it works great (it includes a battery, and it uses a watch battery). I was able to use the actual TV remote to adjust the volume so I didn't use the included remote much. I liked that because the volume level was displayed on the TV screen. If you are listening to music via bluetooth, there's no volume indicator (because there's no screen) which was a slight knock in my opinion. I didn't like the limitations regarding putting it on the wall, but the included template would be a big help in placing it on the wall. And keep in mind the length of the power cable for the soundbar and your nearest outlet. Without an extension cord I was unable to put it underneath my TV.

This soundbar is really just a basic model. The wattage is not very high so it works in a small space but if you have a large room I would go with a better model.

Could not get woofer to connect, reset multiple time but it never worked. Gave up but left speaker on wall because of installation holes and put woofer in garage.

I own an older television and this truly added a very nice sound enhancement to my existing speakers. I used the audio cables included with the sound-bar and it was nice not needing a cable to hook up to the sub-woofer. The wireless feature was a very nice design, as there are no limits for placement. It is also very versatile with the bluetooth feature. I am able to use my mobile phone to play music through the sound-bar. The remote is small and separate from other remotes, so take care not to misplace it. I also suggest turning off the primary audio from the television, or you will receive a hollow sound. This speaker system is great on its own and there is no need to have the primary audio on simultaneously.
