Better than I expected!

I previously had a Vizio tv whose speakers were actually fine without a sound bar, so when I had to replace it, I was thrown into a mad rush to find an affordable sound bar so that I didn't feel like I was listening through a tin can! I looked at a couple of well-known brands, but was disappointed to find that none of them had an equalizer. And the reviews were so mixed that I couldn't fathom shelling out excess money for something that had only presets (voice, music, and movie modes)! So I looked at a few off-brands here on Amazon and this sound bar seemed to have the least negative reviews, and no reviews mentioned that dreaded 'tin can' sound. I decided to give it a try, especially since you can separate it and use it as tower speakers. My very first impression was that the sound bar was heavy! Granted, I had never used one before and had never lifted one, so it may actually be a normal weight. I first set them up on my kitchen table to gauge the size and sound. I used the Bluetooth to connect my mp3 player to the speakers and started trying out the volume and presets of the equalizer. To my ears, the Voice preset is awful...but it must be said that I have never liked that type of sound anyway. It's a sensory thing for me. It makes me cringe. Next I tried the Music preset and it was pretty good! It's not as nice as my old 200 watt Panasonic stereo with subwoofer and heavy bass, but for just over $60 (which is a fraction of what my Panny cost years ago), you certainly get a decent enough sound. I think whatever the quality of the media is, is what you'll get through these speakers. I had some older songs that weren't at the highest bitrate so they sounded a tad poorer - but that's how they always sound. Higher bitrates produced a clearer, fuller sound. Movie mode really brought the 'fullness'! It tones down certain parts of songs, but its not unlistenable by any means. It's definitely LOUDER than Music mode preset! Honestly, I don't know which mode I prefer for music. It almost depends on the song! One thing to note is unlike other off-brands I had read about on here, this sounds bar DOES play sound through BOTH sides when you separate it into tower speakers! I read some reviews of other sound bars that said it only echoed through the other side. Not this one. There is definitely sound on the right side as well as the left. Are the speakers a full 100 watts? Perhaps. I have no tools to test that. But they DO go very loud, and when paired with an mp3 player, you can get it even louder using the volume controls on both the mp3 player and speakers. They do get a bit crackly if you go too high, but that can happpen with most speakers, I think. Next I hooked them up to my tv through the HDMI ARC port. If you do this, your tv remote can control the sound bar (speakers). It was very different to my ears at first because I was so used to my older Vizio sound. But after a few hours I got used to it and now my ears find it normal. It is absolutely an improvement to the tv speakers! No 'tin can' sound! I kept them as tower speakers so there's one on each side of my tv. They are a nice height, measuring a little more than half of the height of my 40" Hisense. I keep them on Movie mode because otherwise I tend to get obsessive with trying to find "the best" sound, lol. Though I haven't done this yet, I like that I could sit here an Bluetooth my mp3 player to the speakers with just a remote control! I'm not crazy about the colourful LED lights on the top of the speakers, but you CAN turn them off. Also, if the speakers don't have sound coming through them for a certain period of time (like if you've paused a video for too long), the speakers will shut off. That's probably the one thing that drives me nuts, lol, but I can live with it. It's a minor inconvenience! But it's a good feature to have, as well, so you don't leave them on when you're not using them. Overall I have to give this product 5 stars so far for the price, functionality, ease of set up, the fact I can use them as tower speakers (so I didn't have to spend more money to get a different tv stand!), the decent sound so I don't lose my mind... :) I don't know how long they will last but I'll be happy to get a few years out of them. (hopefully they'll last even longer than that, though)

glad i finally gave a sound bar a try

This is the first sound bar I’ve ever owned. I’d always been curious about them, but since I had never actually heard one in person, I figured I probably wasn’t missing much. When I came across this 100W Sound Bar for Smart TV with Bluetooth 5.3 and Detachable Design, the price seemed reasonable enough to take a chance on, and I’m glad I did. Setup was very straightforward, and it connected to my TV and Apple TV without any hassle. I have the two sections connected right now, but I like that they can be separated and placed upright, which gives me some flexibility for another TV in the house if i decide to splurge on that one. The sound is noticeably better than my TV speakers, and I like that it powers on automatically when I turn everything on. I’ve never been a fan of overly complicated audio systems that require four or five different remotes, so this is exactly the kind of setup I was looking for. The build quality feels solid, and for the price range, it offers a lot of value.

Sound quality exceeds what was expected.

If you want a sound bar that definitely increases the quality of your tv speakers; this is the one to get. It comes with multiple options for set up. I have an LG tv, set up was easy with optical output. The sound quality is great if you want to supplement your tv. If you are setting up a home theater, go spend the money on a home theater system. This sound bar is perfect for enhancing your tv sound at a very reasonable price considering the quality you get! Another thing I was happy with, my dog ate my remote, and I was able to get another remote very easily. I have actually recommended this sound bar to a friend.

Best soundbar on a budget! Save money without sacrificing quality!

What a great deal and a great soundbar! I love the easy set up and the dual function, you can either combine the two speakers to make one soundbar or you can use them separately with the stands provided (picture below) you can connect to your TV by bluetooth/hdmi/vga etc. - easily control from bed with the included remote and fun lights at the ends - the colors of the lights are helpful during setup as well. Love this !
