Customer Ratings & Reviews

Needed to be able to hook-up my wireless headset from our new smart tv. No more headphone jacks. This will connect to optical or coax output connectors.

A simple gizmo to link the optical out of a new generation smart TV to an old generation stereo system. There are some programs that really need a big stereo and this was the ticket. Super easy to install.

It provides a clean audio signal without introducing noise to my audio system. I have used it for about 6 years. I have yet to have an issue with it. The price at the the time was a bit on the high-ish side but for the quality it has provided me through the years, it was worth it.

great however wrong for my tv i had different set up on my tv so it was a guess at the time, it would have been great if right connections for my unit

It work great, we got the speakers working, thanks to the guy that's work for the geek. Thanks again.

It’s a fine product with good price. It’s a converter for the tv. And it works good. Easy to install.

Used this to connect my eversolo play with my Sonos 100 era. Working great so far.

Very simple to install and works exactly as it should

Hey it works, and well. Good to replace the units that would have been internal to HDTVs til they got rid of them, and even if not for that, means it doesn't cost you an HDMI slot when not using digital formats.

The converter works well 98% of the time. The TV I purchased only had a digital optical output so I bought this to output the sound to my very old surround sound system. The converter requires power so make sure you have an open outlet. The quality is good, no noticeable drop in quality. My only complaint is twice now the converter has stopped working and needed to be power cycled to function again. In the almost 2 months of having it, it has only happened twice and the fix is simply unplugging it and plugging it back in. Overall I like the converter and have no major complaints.

Replaced an older converter for a sound bar that never worked as expected. This Insignia optical/digital to analog converter plugged right in and we now have steady quality sound. Very pleased.

Insignia converter was great for converting my new Samsung Tv’s optical sound to analog to correspond with my surround unit. Very easy to use.

Recently got a steal with a half-priced Bose stereo. The only problem was, the stereo was designed for audio/mp3 playback, and not TVs. After doing some research I came upon a suggestion to convert optical digital output from my tv into this type of converter, and then convert the RCA inputs into one single 3.5mm plug. After a little fine-tuning with my TV's audio settings I was able to have this bad boy up and running. Even with the multiple conversions taking place, the sound is crystal clear and booms throughout the room. The converter provided the fix I needed while only sacrificing very little of the original sound quality. A++++++++

Good quality product as describe , easy to use, reliable.

highly recommend this Insignia™ - Optical/Coaxial Digital-to-Analog Audio Converter - Black to anyone that can't get their soundbar or DVD player to connect to the back of their TV..THis one worked great. Highly recommend and easy to use.

I bought Best Buy’s own Insignia Optical/Coaxial Digital-to-Analog Converter to connect my stunning new Sony X85J 43-inch TV also purchased at Best Buy. I chose that model since it has a much more powerful speaker system built in than the Sony X80J model. The converter was recommended by one of the Best Buy sales persons, and he was right: it works perfectly with my analog component system through which I’m running the audio. And it’s very reasonably priced.

Allowed me to hook my older surrounding sound system to the new all in one connection on the new UHD tv. That saved me from buying a new sound bar.

Realized I didn't need it, due to a gaming headset not working properly. I had to send back the headset to the Ebay seller, then the Insignia back to best buy. I would've loved to use it. If I ever need it again which I probably will, I will be buying the same model and going through best buy again. I would recommend it to anyone. Researching all the other models and brands, this one was the best bang for your buck and one with a reliable quality brand.

I bought this item so I can connect the tv to my evolve 50 speaker. The tv only had and optical out and the evolve 50 did not have an optical in. I can now use my evolve 50 as a sound bar for my oled tv. Note: You have to change the tv audio output settings to linear pcm in order for it to work. Also this device will amplify the sound signature coming out of the tv. The bottom line is it works great and I haven’t had an issue.

Works like a champ, easy plug in play. Very useful if you have older equipment to use with the newer.
