Sound bar for TV, Vinoil 2.1 Channel 35 Inch TV Soundbar Media Player with Built-in Subwoofer, 105 dB, Strong Bass, Optical/AUX/Coaxial Input, Wall Mountable, Surround Sound System for Home TV

I have it attached to my older (2010) Element TV. It arrived with the missing Coaxial Cable -the only cable I could use to hook it up with on my older TV - my TV doesn't provide a digital optical slot. Customer service sent the missing cable and two days later I hooked it up and I'm quite pleased with the loudness. Customer service rocks.I read other reviews a few said that they could control it with their remote and a few said they couldn't. I haven't tried that yet so I don't know it it's possible.It was super simple to get it up and running. Hook the Coaxial Cable to sound bar - run it to the TV and plug it in. I had to look around on my TV settings to find the area to change it to make it work. TV settings in audio I changed it to PCM (other option was RAW) turned down my TV speakers and ta da... nice loud sound. The sound is clean and clear with a very nice projection. There's a noticeable change when you scroll on the soundbar remote between music to movie. I'm preferring the music setting.One thing worth mentioning is I'm in the middle of the Outlander series on Netflix. With each episode change the soundbar shuts off and I need to manually reset it through the TV. It's annoying. The TV is keeping the setting but I need to switch between PCM to RAW and back to PCM. With further investigation it's appears to be only Netflix that I'm having this issue with and not all of the series on Netflix, Forensic Files it doesn't reset but Lucifier it does drop the soundbar between episodes. Also noteworthy is I'm going through Apple TV not sure if that matters. Amazon Prime and CBS apps I'm not having a problem with the soundbar setting dropping between episodes so, bottom line I think it's not the soundbar it's Netflix. I haven't tried bluetooth yet. I would highly recommend this soundbar. I have an LG hooked up to my living room TV and I'm as satisfied with this one for my bedroom as I am with the LG.UPDATE; I ran the digital optical cable to my Apple TV from my soundbar instead of using the coaxial cable from the TV to my soundbar. NO MORE dropped signal between episodes - no resetting the TV settings each time. I still have a small lag between when the TV is first turned on to when the soundbar starts however it's minor. For the price of the soundbar and the quality I'm extremely satisfied and highly recommend.

Seriously? It's a $100 soundbar. You're not getting Bose or Polk quality sound. That's the bottom line. but...that said...for the money, it appears to be performing well. The sound, particularly the bass, is impressive for this price point. I was looking to "enhance" the sound coming from my TV, not necessarily replace it. That much it's done. Volume isn't terribly impressive, but I'm happy with my purchase. Keep your expectations in check, and you'll be satisfied. If something happens, or it suddenly stops working, I'll post an addendum.

This speaker has a good sound with sufficient bass and volume. It was not too difficult to initially set up and has understandable instructions. The digital display is hidden and can be seen when it lights up (see pic). The display only lights up when in use so it doesn’t distract from what is on your TV. I had an issue getting the Bluetooth loud enough but realized I had my volume capped under my music settings in my phone which caused the issue.I set this up using the included optical (digital) audio cable and sat it in front of my TV rather than included wall mount or other input. My TV recognized that it was connected to a sound system and muted its own speakers automatically. If turning up the volume on the TV, it said the surround sound volume was going up but it had no impact on the volume of this speaker, so you still have to adjust the volume via the sound bar.A full surround sound system would probably sound better, but this sound bar is a good option if you want to improve the sound quality from your TV without that much cost or installation.

I bought this for my wife so she had better sound while watching the TV in the living room. The sound quality is better than the Sony TV but nothing to write home about. However. it does an automatic turnoff after about 20 minutes no matter what. The system is supposed to turn off after 20 minutes but only if it isn't getting a signal from the TV or via blue tooth. I need to contact the manufacturer but I'm not holding out much hope for a solution. If I had purchased from Costco I would have returned it already.

I have been searching for a sound bar for my TV and to be able to use with my phone to play podcasts or music while I’m hanging out at home. I put the sound bar in front of my TV. I think eventually I might mount it because of the size.Here are my thoughts about the audio and set up:Syncing to my iPhone via Bluetooth was a piece of cake. I simply clicked the BT button on the remote and located the device on my phone settings.Syncing to my TV was a little more difficult. I have a Roku TCL 49” television. I plugged the speaker into my tv using the optical cable. After some internet research I figured out that with this kind of TV, optical cable or HDMI are the only output options. Then I went to settings and located the PCM mode. Changing this setting was KEY, without doing so, no sound!All in all, I’m stoked. The sound is great. My only complaints are that I wish the sound bar offered HDMI as an option, and that the remote had a few more sound settings. For the price, I think the value is fantastic.

I can't fathom why this sound bar has gotten so many good reviews. When watching a movie, at the number 20 level (only goes up to 30 which isn't loud at all) the sound of the movie completely distorted. It was so bad that we kept turning the volume down but then couldn't hear the movie. Interestingly, you could still hear the distortion at quiet levels My flat screen tv has sound that is tremendously better than this sound bar. I also have a tiny blue tooth wireless Wonder Boom speaker which is 100 times more powerful than this terrible sound bar. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
