There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So I got to thinking about an alternative. And thought about using a soundbar instead. They usually have a low clearance (PC speakers stand up), they are all inclusive (PC speakers come in several pieces and need to be wired all together) and a remote (not really needed but if I was pumping music for company and wanted to control the volume I could). Also the motherboard on my PC has a Toslink port anyhow so it made perfect sense to use it. The con I found was that most sound bars are north of $100. I usually would shop via NewEgg for computer stuff so when I was looking I mostly gave up the soundbar idea initially because I wasn't prepared to spend $150 on a soundbar for my PC when I could get the PC speakers for about half the price.
So I checked Amazon and found this beauty. It had all the wants I on my list and it was under $100. Added to cart and waiting eagerly for it to show up. I was skeptical about the AmazonBasics branding, but I surmise that it's just private labeling of another brand (it feels like Samsung or LG but it could be a chinese knockoff too due to how audio equipment is made). A few days later it showed up! The box is unimaginative, it is one of the most bland packaging ever. It certainly does the job but boy you can tell that they cheaped out in the packaging. Not an issue at all, but obvious.
This does everything and more than I hoped. I can play music loud and feel like I am right there, I can play games and feel right in the action. It pumps out sound just as how I would have hopped. Sure it's not a super movie theatre experience, but for sub $100 I'm not expecting that. It does exactly what I want it to do. It feels well built and the rubber grips for feet are perfect for my desk. I can hear all the little sounds that I would normally hear with my nice G933 headphones. And on top of that I have two wires, for Toslink and power. The Toslink cable that came with this is kind of short, great length for a TV but not for a PC setup. With my set up it just barely works but a slightly longer one isn't too expensive anyhow for anyone else doing the same thing.
I plan on getting a second one. I have a 65" TV and primarily use an Apple TV with it. So I could easily put this sound bar anywhere in the room and connect it to the Apple TV via bluetooth.
The bar itself is quite sturdy and does not appear cheap in any way. I used the RCA cables for attaching it to our television in our 20' x 25' master bedroom. The sound fills the room quite nicely. I did not test the Blue Tooth feature. Of the 3 settings - Standard, News, or Movies - we found that the News setting is pretty useless...way too tinny. The Standard and Movies settings are useful for TV show, movies, etc. We switch between the two depending on what we're watching. If the audio sound being generated by the show has adequate bass, the Standard setting is fine. If we find the bass to be lacking, we then switch to Movies...and it really makes a difference.
All in all, we are quite pleased with this purchase and would recommend this product to our friends.
Returned that one, ordered this one but wasn't sure what to expect since it was so inexpensive. Hook up was super simple. Sat it infront of my TV, plugged the power cord into the plug cable, the plug to the wall. Attached one end of the optical cable to the sound bar, the other to my TV's optical port. Tried a movie on Netflix and WOW - the sound is AWESOME AND goes nice and LOUD!!!
I also have Echo devices so with the Bluetooth capability of this sound bar connected it to the Echo Dot in my living room. Music sounds incredible through this and again, super nice and LOUD if you want it!
Switching between Bluetooth and your TV is super easy as well. I just clicked Opt on the remote and the blue Bluetooth light on the front of the sound bar turned off and the TV audio connected.
All in all, a REALLY great sound bar especially considering how cheap it is.
NOTE: As it is rather tall for a sound bar it may block your TV's remote sensor if your TV is not wall mounted. I found an awesome set of universal TV legs (on here, of course) that made the TV the exact high I wanted it - perfect!!! Search WALI stand and you'll find it.
8/31/18 - I've had this sound bar for over a month and absolutely LOVE it!!! Still mad I didn't buy this sooner! Since writing my review I've played Xbox 360 with the soundbar on and it sounds great as well! I also play Amazon Music all day long through the sound bar via bluetooh and the sound can get SO much louder than other speakers I've used and the sound is rich and wonderful. Such a great sound bar especially for the price!!!!

Viene con cables incluidos opticos, rca y auxiliar. A su vez viene con soportes, tornilleria y un molde para montar a la pared.
Excelente opcion para relacion precio - calidad.
Reviewed in Mexico on July 20, 2019
Viene con cables incluidos opticos, rca y auxiliar. A su vez viene con soportes, tornilleria y un molde para montar a la pared.
Excelente opcion para relacion precio - calidad.
Tiene tres modos de sonido pre-configurados, y puede ser conectado con cables RCA o Fibra óptica a un dispositivo. Del mismo modo, puede ser conectado por Bluetooth.
Es una excelente opción.
El único problema que tengo, y por el cual le quité dos estrellas, es que no existe un reemplazo para el control remoto. Se dañó el mío, y el personal de Amazon no pudo darme información acerca de cómo conseguir un reemplazo, o modelos de control compatibles con la barra de sonido. No hay un equipo de soporte técnico para productos AmazonBasics, y no hay tampoco un chat, número telefónico, o correo electrónico que pueda usar para pedir ayuda.
Su única sugerencia fué la de comprar otra barra de sonido nueva.
