[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sound bar produces room-filling, broadspectrum sound with decent bass from multiple sources. Since most flat-screen TV sets have notoriously bad sound, many viewers choose to enhance their TVs with a sound bar or a surround-sound system. This sound bar produces a lot of sound for the buck and is, of course, far simpler to install and dramatically less expensive than a surround-sound system.
Since most TV sets have a 1/8" stereo jack for its sound output an audio cable with a 1/8" stereo plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other (not included) will make that connection to this iLive Wall Mountable Sound Bar. For optical sound sources an optical cable has been included.
Other options include using the built-in Bluetooth feature of this sound bar and to use a smartphone, computer or other source for a program source. After establishing a Bluetooth link between my Motorola smart phone and this sound bar I used my Internet radio app as the music source and enjoyed hi-fi stereo. My wife's smartphone was also able to establish a Bluetooth link, so we've mounted this sound bar in a protected place on the wall of our screen porch for outside entertainment. That works quite well for us. We can control the sound bar with the small included remote. As long as our phones are within about 50 feet of this sound bar, we get wide spectrum, static-fee music, which we can turn up loud enough to fill our outside patio without distortion.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good Replacement for TV Speakers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This iLive HD Sound Bar with Bluetooth was easy to hook up to the TV and has many different connection methods. It included a paper for easy wall installation. The sound is definitely better than the TV speakers. It's fast and simple to use with Bluetooth devices. I would get this again.

Good value for what it is

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would say the sound quality is average and it doesn't really provide a true surround experience, but the value is there, it's sleek, and it also has bluetooth which is convenient for a quick party living room speaker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound quality for this product is good, especially for my apartment. Fills up the place. The only issue I had is I have a smart TV and took me some time and youtube videos to get it connected to my TV. Granite, I'm not the most Techy guy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good quality for the price!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Bluetooth soundbar is easy on the wallet, but still provides a good quality sound experience. It is easy to setup and comes with an optical cable out of the box. I used it to add better audio to an older plasma TV and it works great. I can also connect my phone easily using Bluetooth to listen to music. I only gave this a 4 star because I could not program my universal remote to control the volume, so I have to utilize the separate remote that came with the soundbar. Good value for the price.

Good sized soundbar

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, it didn’t come with an aux cord. After getting one it took a bit to set up and get working. Has to be plugged into line in for it to work instead of the aux port (strange). After figuring that out it worked great. Bluetooth is convenient for connecting your phone. Sounds great. Definitely recommend this one.

Subpar

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon opening the box, I found the sound bar to just have a cheap feeling. It is nice that it comes with an optical cable though, although it’s quite short. Setup was fairly straight forward. There is no display on it, so the only indicator you get is a multi-color LED on the front that changes color based on the input selected. It does at least announce with voice what input you switch to when changed, but it’s super loud and annoying, especially when it’s quiet in the room. The sound is very flat and lifeless. It’s over equalized in some areas, under equalized in others. There is no bass to speak of. I could not get it to work with my Xfinity remote. None of the codes they have for iLive products work. So now we have three remotes; one for the TV, one for Xfinity, and one for the sound bar. The remote is tiny and will get lost easily. Overall, it’s a cheap sound bar that isn’t impressive in any way.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound bar works great but it would be nice if you could use an arc hdmi cable when using with a tv. You have to use an optical cable with a tv.
