The perfect modern TV soundbar
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] I have been in the market for an inexpensive 3.0 soundbar for a few years. Figured I would take a chance on this given the price point. This soundbar has absolutely exceeded my expectations at its price point. Great 3.1 audio for basic sports and TV watching if you do not use the rear speakers like I do. I would not recommend this bar to those looking for a cinematic experience, but as a basic bar that allows you to actually hear what you are watching? This is absolutely perfect.

Good value for TV, but not good for music.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar is a decent value. I purchased it for my master bedroom TV, so I chose this budget-friendly option. I probably should've just spent a little bit more to get something of better quality. The sound for television is decent, not the best, but again, it's a good value for the money. My biggest complaint is the sound output for music. Music via Bluetooth sounds like it's coming through a tunnel. I tried all settings on my devices, including the equalizers and it's all the same.

Great sound for a great value
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought two of these, and honestly, the sound blew me away! The audio quality is rich, clear, and has way more depth than the Sony sound bar I purchased before. I was so impressed that I ended up returning the Sony and buying another one of these for my room. I didn’t expect this level of performance from an Insignia brand it’s seriously underrated. Great job on this one!

Not audiophile but great for what it is.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t get me wrong this is not pure audiophile equipment, but for our purpose it is perfect. It’s been a couple of weeks and all is well. The system and TV both turn on with the Apple TV remote and all speakers connect every time. There is one cable that runs between the surround speakers, but not a problem behind the couch. If you have a small area to cover this works well.

New sound system
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is more than I expected for the price point. I am extremely satisfied at how even at a lower volume there is the full sound feel. I live in an apartment surrounded by other tenants and so the peak volume is always a consideration.

Posted .Hello Brian, thank you so much for sharing your experience. It’s great to hear that the sound quality exceeded your expectations, especially at lower volumes. That full, rich audio without needing to crank it up is a huge win, especially in an apartment setting. Enjoy your new setup, and thanks for choosing Insignia Product. Sandhya | Insignia

Great bang for the buck
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great bang for the buck! Sound field is good for surround and atmos and it worked seamlessly with eARC with my TV and Roku Ultra. Both the Sub and overall volume is sufficient for a mid-size room. The only catch I can see is that the LCD display is always on and no option for dimming. It doesn't affect my Living Room, but I can see how that can be annoying for someone who wants a minimalist feel or for bedroom usage.

Bass for days

I would recommend this to a friend Atmos at a value
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You have to know how to fiddle with this soundbar in order to get the best out it...the rear speakers are actually loud some people say they can't hear them like they should, trust me if you click on the surround button on the remote and bring it up to 5 they will sound their best..Dolby Atmos could use some improvement but for the price its actually really good. The bass is really deep and profound as i have mine in a corner and it rattles my walls, this set is meant for a small to medium room. The main soundbar sounds very crisp, don't get this soundbar with a mindset that it's replacing an AV receiver which it could for some but not for audiophiles. I definitely recommend to get this especially when it goes on sale.

Good entry level 4 piece system
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for my Mom and they love it. Very straightforward and user friendly. I would say it’s geared more towards a user who just wants surround sound and doesn’t care to mess with the settings that much (fine tune). The options to fine tune the sound bar aren’t that great, but for the majority of people it’s great!
