    I had to return this because it wouldn't work for me using optical cable. Not sure if it's due to digital cable signal.

    When adjusting the sound, the increments are larger than what we'd like. So it is either a little too loud or too quiet.

    My bf got these after having his previous ones stolen, We got them all hooked up, only to find out his TV max volume was louder than the soundbars! These were a waste of money and were returned within 48 hours. He also couldn't get the remote to ever actually change the soundbar unless he was directly in front of it.

    Amazing value versus other inexpensive soundbars.

    I own several soundbars. I have two different vizio soundbars, an insignia mini, and a nakamichi. I didn't expect much from this insignia because it's much less expensive than my vizio soundbars. Surprisingly, it works just as well and the bluetooth is reliable. It's superior to the nakamichi in every way and the sound is crisp. Volume gets plenty loud, and there are plenty of hookups on the soundbar. For the price, there isn't a better soundbar. Just note that it may not work with over the air TV broadcasts when using an optical cable depending on the sound format that your TV puts out to the speaker.

    The sound quality of the product is ok but the remote stopped working after only one week and the speaker quality seemed to begin degrading after about 3 weeks. Static and popping became an issue after only about a month. I would not suggest to a friend to purchase this product.
