AKIXNO Sound Bar 20W Remote Controlled Wired Wireless and Bluetooth 2.0 Channel Home Theater 3 EQ Modes Ideal for TV PC Tablets Gaming, Wall Mountable, Jet Black Surface (24-Inch Playbar)

Sometimes a great product comes in an unexpected package. I bought this after reading some other reviews and compared some other products of the same price range and decided to give this one a try. This sound bar worked out rather well!The sound volume was quite adequate for the size of the bar. This is not one of those very large theater-room style sound bar (nor should you use a sound bar for a true theater-room setup). This is a good sized bar for about 30-60" display. The sound bar comes with wall mounting hardware so you can mount it to the wall. If you purchase 3-rd party hardwares, you can also hook it up to the back of your TV (like one of those universal TV mounts specifically designed for the sound bar).The bar is simply controlled by a typical remote that adjusts the Source, Volume, and Power. Very straight forward there. The bar takes several different inputs including SPDIF, RCA, and BT. Personally, when connected to a TV (as in, exclusively dedicated to a TV), SPDIF is a great choice. It is easy to connect and excellent audio feed. Since the bar and the TV are not likely going to move, the wired option avoids you any wireless interferences. Nonetheless, a BT connection is also capable with this sound bar. This allows you to play music from your phone, Alexa, or any other device that spits out music via BT.The volume output is excellent. A lot of sound from a little bar, actually. I'd expect a smaller volume of output but this sound bar actually delivered the volume a bit more than expected. I rarely need to turn it up more than half to get a good amount of sound projection.If you are a bit handy you can wire all the power and SPDIF hook up behind the walls so the installation is 100% clean without any wire showing. A little bit of home DIY skill is needed in order to do that. Or you could just rest the sound bar on top of the dresser. Or hang it from the TV set like I mentioned with an universal sound-bar attachment hooks for TVs.The quality of the sound was pretty good. A reasonable amount of Base was detectable and enjoyable, despite the fact that this is a stand-alone bar without a separate base unit. Sure, to get serious on base, get something with an extra powered base (subwoofer) to go with--but if you are only looking to get a single-piece sound solution, this one can do it. The highs (tweets) are pretty crisp and the lows (base) are low. I am satisfied for the amount paid for the unit for what it delivers.One draw back being the volume control where there aren't as many steps as expected. What I mean is that turning sound up or down, it goes from soft to loud and very loud very quick and nothing in between. Sometimes this is OK, other times it can be bothersome because you happen to want something in between but the bar can't do it. So in those cases you have to settle between too soft and too loud. So this is a slight draw back.All things considered, my thoughts are the following:Functional and delivery of promise: 4.5 star.Ease of use: 5Economics, as in cost vs. product: 5Hope this is helpful to you!

The sound bar showed up well packaged, and looked great straight out of the box. It feels sturdy, with good construction and a modern appearance. I really like that it came with multiple cords to be able to connect to a TV or other device, regardless of age or features. For example, to use this on an older TV in my bedroom, which didn't have an optical digital port, I was able to use the included RCA audio cord. That is a big plus and convenient. The bluetooth is also great for using it to play from a cell phone, which makes this a very versatile device.How it performs: This sound bar isn't quite as loud as the larger versions, which is expected given its only 24 inches. It is significantly louder than TV speakers, and has some added depth (bass and treble). If you are looking for room shaking bass, this will not provide that, so look at a larger sound bar/woofer combo. For my purposes, it worked well, as it is not going on my large movie TV. I do really like how you can adjust the bass and other sound levels via the remote, that comes in handy for customizing the sound.It's been set up for a week now, and I've had no issues with the remote or soundbar itself, I definitely recommend this product.

I bought two of them to install atop of two ASUS 27" Monitors using 2" wide black velcro strips. They're very lightweight for such a robust soundbar and each one works with a different PC. The soundbar is just shy of 24 inches, and the width of the 27" monitors is 24" so they fit perfectly on top. I needed the space below the monitors free to access other equipment. They look and sound incredible for the price!! Initially, I had some challenges with the Bluetooth on the first soundbar I unboxed but after some quick troubleshooting, it worked great so I unboxed the second one. I installed them using two of the three connections offered. It comes with Bluetooth, Optical, and RCA connections. All of which are on the remote control, too. I have them installed with Bluetooth and RCA to 3.5mm cables (purchased separately) to each PC as back up in the event the Bluetooth fails or has challenges in the future. This is an EXCELLENT PRODUCT and the SUPPORT IS OUTSTANDING. After emailing them with some concerns about the continuity of the Bluetooth connection, they replied back within 12 hours to help me get it fixed and this was on Christmas Eve. I'm pleased to report the Bluetooth connection now works as flawlessly as the RCA hardwire connection. Awesome soundbar!! Awesome support!!

This unit does exactly what I expected, neither more nor less. It is connected to our kitchen TV via the optical connector and to an Alexa Dot via Bluetooth. The size is perfect for a standard width coutnertop. Setup was easy and switching between the two with the remote is a snap. The sound quality is vastly richer than either the TV or the Dot, but it is NOT an audiophile unit. Don't look for big base or subtle vibrato. You can't get that for a unit this small. Three settings, 'voice', 'music', and 'movie' help get the best sound for each use. If all you want much improved sound for your TV or Dot, this can be recommended highly.
