From the brand
Easy to install and use. Fantastic sound quality, strong and sturdy. Looks great in front of tv, gives effect of being in a cinema. Item arrived very well packed, so excellent start, perfect size and more important top quality looks and feels great , for the price can’t fault it, 10 out of 10 from me very happy indeed and would purchase agai
Brilliant kit that not only sounds great for the price, but is very easy to use and works flawlessly without lagging or disconnections. The subwoofer isn’t the biggest but produces great noticeable bass. Would recommend!
For the price, this soundbar is at par with other more expensive ones.
Easy to install and you get to choose the orientation. Easy to change orientation too.
Arc connection to arc capable tv is straightforward, similar with the other connections.
The remote control is very user friendly, not complicated.
I like the fact that the display turns off after a while so you barely notice the soundbar being there.
It turns on automatically when I switch my tv on which is an added plus for me.
Construction is robust, not flimsy or cheap looking. Design is minimalist which is what I want. Simple but classy.
A five star for me.
This sound bar has taken my TV viewing experience to the next level. With its peak power of 100W and bass adjustable feature, it delivers rich and immersive sound that enhances every movie night or gaming session. The three EQ modes allow me to customize the audio to suit my preferences, whether I’m watching action-packed films or listening to music. Its HDMI ARC, optical, and auxiliary inputs provide versatile connectivity options, ensuring compatibility with a variety of devices. The sleek design and easy setup make it a stylish and functional addition to my entertainment setup. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with this sound bar’s performance and highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their home audio system.
My expectations have been exceeded by this soundbar. At a fair price, it offers a smart design and respectable sound quality. Its attractiveness is increased by the range of input choices and the remote control’s simplicity of usage.
This took very little time to set up and was really easy. The bluetooth capabilities impressed me by allowing me to reduce the amount of clutter caused by cables. This soundbar’s unique feature is its adaptable design, which allows it to be set up as two independent vertical speakers or as a horizontal bar. It’s simple to switch between different input sources with the remote control because of its intuitive design.
I like that this soundbar can be used as a long bar or split into two vertical side bars as very often the TV stands can’t take long soundbars so I have opted to use the soundbar in the split format and it performs well, it synced with TV very easily and the output is good, its a decent upgrade on TV speakers but it does lack a little in the deep bass range that large sub woofers would usually give, but given that it is compact and looks good next to the TV rather than overwhelming in size the speakers do a good job. It comes well packaged and has the usual remote control, and variety of connection options including optical, HDMI etc..
Connect the two bars together can be a little tricky but slow, steady and careful wins the race, splitting the two speakers does not affect the quality of sound and the remote allows you to customise the sound preferences to suit your need. It compares favourably with my old samsung soundbar, and if you are looking for something that will enhance the speech on the sound rather than the deep bass then I think this does the job.
I like that it is compact, neat and easy to setup, it looks good and can be controlled by the TV volume once setup, the sound is decent if not overly punchy in the bass department.
I am impressed with this speaker. I must say it is easy to set up, I had it connected and ready to go in no time. What’s great is that it’s not just about the ease of use, but also the flexibility. I love how you can split it into two parts for that perfect sound balance and the twist-to-connect feature is just genius. And don’t even get me started on the surround sound – it’s mind-blowing. Priced at 139.99, it’s a steal considering the quality it delivers. Here’s hoping it holds up its quality in the long run. I recommend it.
Pros- I didn’t expect that sounds bar will be so good for the money, the sound system is clear, just little issue with set up but otherwise fine once you get going
Cons- None
This soundbar has an interesting trick up its sleeve that Ive never come across before. You can either run it as a normal soundbar along the bottom of your tv OR you can unclick it in the middle and it becomes a stereo speaker system.
One thing that isnt made clear in any of the instructions is how these two different set ups may effect the sound and if it knows its split in two or not? Some testing would be required.
You are provided pretty much every cable required to get this thing to work with your setup which I was very pleasantly surprised at! Its not often youre also give the HDMI cables, optical cables and other bits and pieces! This is great!
The device also has all the inputs you’ll ever need on the back of it too. If you have multiple devices to hook up wouldn’t be a problem at all! (Arc and optical sound best!)
I tested it first as a full soundbar and its sounded ok. Perfect for someone who doesn’t need room shaking bass and eardrum bursting volume. This is to be used in my kitchen and so it fits its purpose well. I wouldn’t be as impressed if I was using this for my main living room tv system but Im pretty sure this isnt really designed for that.. especially at this price point.
I then split the speakers and straight away I felt music sounded better thanks to its stereo setup (not sure the speakers work in stereo or even know its been split, but just having two sound sources always sounds better to the ear) but for tv its lost a bit of of centralisation of sound. Not great for speech as this sound sound feel like its coming from the centre but now there isnt a centre.
I like how you do have the option of how you set this up though and if a soundbar isnt practical for your setup you can now slot these to either side (Even though I don’t believe sound science has been implemented depending on your chosen setup) For everyday TV watching it sounds decent and will likely be an improvement over your tvs built in speakers. It does have an output for a subwoofer so if you do want some deep rumbles youre going to have to invest in one of them as you wont get it out of this.
Overall its an interesting concept and provides some decent sound.

I received this product through the Amazon Vine programme and this review is based on my own opinions.
This is a very versatile soundbar as it support multiple connections and can be used as both a bar and separate stereo speakers.
You get a plethora of inputs HDMI, Optical, RCA and Bluetooth and all the cables are in the box. All you need to find is 2xAAA batteries for the remote.
The sound quality is pretty much what you’d expect for 70 so in that respect you get good value for money with the flexibility and add ons.
The only quirk I have found so far is that bluetooth only likes one device connected at a time so remember to disconnect if you use multiple devices,
There is the option to add a sub woofer if you find these bass light which for some applications they definitely are but I still give them 4 stars for value, flexibility and having most of what you need in the box.
I got this for my partner who struggles with her hearing.
We generally have to the have the volume ramped up so load the TV Speakers are vibrating and the sound can be distorted.
The speakers come as two separate units. That can be used as stereo speakers that stand either side of the TV or they can be joined together to make a soundbar that sits in front of the TV. That’s the set up I have used.
The speakers lock together and are connected to each other via a supplied RCA cable.
You can connect the soundbar to the TV via HDMI ( ARC ) or Optical Cable both supplied. I used HDMI and connected to the ARC port on my partners Samsung TV.
It was recognised immediately without the need to go into TV settings and the TV remote controlled the volume.
The difference was awesome. The sound was much richer, fuller and with a lot more clarity and as such we no longer need to have the volume anywhere near as high.
The speaker comes with its own remote that has a bass button and some options for listening to Music, watching a Movie or playing Games.
There are also physical buttons on the side of the soundbar if required.
But in general we just use the TV remote to control the volume. When you switch the TV off the soundbar also goes into sleep mode and when you turn on the TV it activates.
It’s very discreet and sits in front of TV quite the thing. There is an LED display behind the grille that displays the function and volume level.
I have a Sonos Arc in my house c/w rear speakers and a sub and this soundbar is not in the same league not even close.
But that’s a very unfair comparison. My Sonos System cost 20 times as much.
This little speaker has transformed my partners viewing , not to mention the neighbours haha.
She is chuffed to bits with it, an excellent upgrade to your tinny flatscreen TV Speakers!
This is an attractively-priced mid-range soundbar with decent performance and a few nice features.
It can be split into two or combined as a single unit, and comes with an impressive range of connectivity options that should cover every AV requirement out there. Unboxing and set-up was simple, choose the orientation, select the appropriate connection, plug in and you’re sorted.
I’m currently using with a Panasonic TX-43MX650, quite underpowered in the on-board sound, and it fairly transforms the experience. Sound has reasonable depth and clarity, and the pre-set options (music, movie, game) do a decent job. The bass mode does create a noticeable deepening, but not on par with a system employing a separate subwoofer. Overall though the sound performance is good, easily above what I was expecting for this device and quite excellent for the price.
Appearance-wise, in both split and combined forms, it likely won’t win any awards. It’s a chunky looking thing and definitely doesn’t blend into a minimal AV set-up. It’s very much ‘there’. That said, despite its heft, it does have a nicely simple style and no unnecessary cosmetic elements.
I’d say this was a really good choice for anyone looking to boost their TV audio without breaking the bank.
