Amazon Fire TV Soundbar (newest model), 2.0 speaker with DTS Virtual:X and Dolby Audio, Bluetooth connectivityReducing CO2

Easy install and phenomenal sound. Mine was installed on an Amazon Fire TV via an HDMO eARC port, for which it was apparently designed. I am not sure it would work with a non-Amazon device unless you are purchasing it solely for a bluetooth speaker.

Despite the low price, this soundbar is well-designed and well-built. It is free of useless bells and whistles; sound quality is surprisingly good. Equalization and bass control allow adjustments which make spoken dialogue less muddy.Installation is seamless. I am a musician with decades of experience dealing with sound equipment; given its purpose, this Fire-TV soundbar does an excellent job.

The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar offers a decent audio upgrade for those looking to improve their TV's built-in sound without breaking the bank. Dolby Audio, along with the convenience of Fire TV integration. However, it's important to have realistic expectations given its price point.What's Good:Easy Setup: Connecting the soundbar is a breeze, especially if you already have a Fire TV device. The setup process is guided and intuitive.Fire TV Integration: This is a major selling point. Seamlessly controlling the soundbar with your Fire TV remote is incredibly convenient. No juggling multiple remotes!Improved Sound over TV Speakers: The soundbar definitely provides a noticeable improvement in clarity and depth compared to most television speakers. Dialogue is clearer, and the overall soundstage is wider.Compact Size: The soundbar's slim profile fits nicely under most TVs without being intrusive.Affordable Price: This is a budget-friendly option for those wanting better sound without a huge investment.Bluetooth Connectivity: The ability to stream music wirelessly from your phone or other Bluetooth devices is a welcome addition.What's Not So Good:Limited Bass: Being a 2.0 system, the bass response is somewhat lacking. While it adds some low-end presence, it won't satisfy those looking for deep, rumbling bass for action movies or music. Consider a subwoofer if bass is a priority.Virtual Surround Sound: While DTS Virtual:X and Dolby Audio are present, the simulated surround sound effect is subtle. Don't expect a truly immersive experience. It provides a slightly wider soundstage, but it's not a replacement for a dedicated surround sound system.Sound Quality Could Be Better: While better than TV speakers, the overall sound quality is adequate, not exceptional. The mid-range can sometimes sound a bit muddy.Limited Connectivity: The soundbar primarily focuses on Fire TV integration. While it has Bluetooth, it lacks other input options like HDMI ARC, which could limit its versatility.Overall:The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar is a good entry-level soundbar for those primarily focused on improving the audio from their Fire TV and who are on a budget. The seamless Fire TV integration and improved dialogue clarity are its strongest points. However, if you're a serious audiophile or crave powerful bass, you'll likely need to spend more for a higher-end system. This soundbar is best suited for casual viewers who want a simple and affordable upgrade to their TV's built-in speakers.

Easy to install using the HDMI eARC/ARC cable. Auto configured itself to my new Samsung 70-Inch Smart TV. Greatly improved the sound quality. It uses the original volume control on the cable remote.

For it's price, this is a very good soundbar. It definitely adds better high and low tones than my TV'S speakers. This is a good purchase for those with limited space, or a smaller room. Slightly over 24 inches, it more than does it's job.

I bought the sound bar because the sound from my fire TV was not clear anymore. I think the bar has made it better, but not as good as I would like. I think there are ways perhaps to adjust it more, but I find the instructions meager and not terribly helpful. I’m afraid to mess with it anymore for fear I’ll make it worse. So I would say it’s so-so. Maybe I just have to buy a new TV, which I hate to do.

I saw this on sale and thought I would take a chance. I had been wanting a sound bar to replace the TV's internal speakers which cast the sound downward. The sound bar casts the sound out in front of the TV, making it easier to hear the sound.It is an Amazon Fire product, and since I have a number of different Fire products that I am pleased with it was safe to try.The sound is adequate, far better than the TV's speakers and allows me to lower the volume and still hear the sound.Positive points that helped to influence my decision to purchase were:- multiple input methods (HMDI arc, optic, USB, Bluetooth) allow me to have it connected to the TV, but when not watching TV I can stream other devices through it.-Price-Compact, fits under the TV screen and the black color matches the TV helping blend in.-I has preset equalizer settings so you can adjust it for movies, music or dialog.-Bass boost levelsI think the only thing that I found lackluster was the bass boost feature, but I am not seeking bass like you hear in so many cars that you hear sitting at a red light.Maybe they could have designed it with a built-in battery allowing you to use it remotely where power may not be available, but I know that would increase the price point.If you are looking for a budget sound bar with flexibility of inputs this is a good choice.

This is an update to my initial review. The optical cable came and the soundbar is fantastic using Optical.So far this is horrible. Not working with hdm1 so I ordered a better cable. Getting no signal message. Connections not loose. Insignia fire tv not old. Tried with usb and no better. Optic cable arriving today and if that doesn’t work I give up.
