BlueAnt Soundblade Under-Monitor Soundbar, 120W 2.1 Channel Desktop Speaker with USB-C & Bluetooth 5.3 for PC, Mac, Gaming, Music and Streaming, Charcoal

I would definitely but this again if need be, it works very well with my PlayStation and phone. I use it for music at work most days and it’s a pretty good quality, love that it has a little remote to control the volume and I honestly haven’t noticed the light at all but it could be that it’s off to the side. It’s not super heavy and I personally think the value is good for the money.

I was very surprised by the sound quality of the sound blade. It is very loud and you can feel the base on the desk while you use it. Especially for the sale price of 99.99 it’s very good. Looks beautiful as well.

One year of ownership: this speaker has greatly improved my office experience! Gone are the days of having two speakers and needing an audio engineering degree just to wire them together. I love that it isn't really a sound bar yet still gives the surround sound speaker-level experience.The BlueAnt Soundblade comes packaged very well, it looks great, and functions perfectly! Setup was extremely easy and it just hooks up to your computer with a USB-C to A cable—which I'll admit is a bit short in length. My only other gripe is that the touch tap for volume is a bit annoying, but never frustrating.I would buy this at the current price of $94-105 in a heartbeat! I'm very pleased with the value, even at $200. You aren't getting the same quality of life experience with desktop speakers until the $350+ price range.

Firmware update certainly helps fix a few of the out of the box quirks. I hope they continue to push more updates. An app to manage updates and EQ settings would be a big help.There is another post commenting about the “special” power cable interfering with the usb… the plug can be turned to face the other way >.> it also doesn’t put any pressure on it if you do have it facing the usb.My device did not come with the US power plug, but the company was quick to respond and ship one out to me (same cable that is used with PlayStation or Apple mini and some laptop bricks… not special).The base volume of the device is still pretty high (Bluetooth from iphone is maybe 2-3 notches up from muted) compared to other devices I use, but sound quality is good. The bass isn’t as pronounced as I would like.I am disappointed that in chatting with an Australian based company they did not let any of their colloquial phrases slip in xD

I have no complaints. I was surprised by how deep it is in real life but, it makes a good shelf for a phone and a couple of remotes. Sounds great for a PC speaker.

Great sound and works well for saving space. Places my monitor in the top of it

This soundbar from BlueAnt is just bad. Music on it sounds like you're listening underwater. Honestly, a real underwater speaker system in a pool sounds very similar to this. I played several songs rotating between my Apple Studio Display speakers, my Apple HomePods, and the BlueAnt soundbar and even the Apple Studio Display speakers sound better. The BlueAnt definitely has bass that the Apple Studio Display speakers do not have, but as far as clarity, the built-in Apple Studio Display speakers are better. The sound from the BlueAnt soundbar is tinny and outrageously bright. It sounds like the treble was turned up to 10,000%. The only positive I have to say about this soundbar's performance is the bass. It's the perfect amount of bass to add depth to the music, but without rattling your desk. Also, the volume range is tremendous. If you need a very loud speaker for some reason, this is great. It will go loud enough to hurt your ears if you're sitting right in front of it. But considering I like listening to music while working and only on medium volume, this isn't a benefit to me.If BlueAnt can fix the very subpar acoustical clarity, then this could be something useful. Until then, it's like listening to music underwater. I did notice that if you listen to it for 10+ minutes your ears start to get used to it and you think "this isn't so bad." But then switch the source to different speakers and you think "Wow, that was awful!"

UPDATE: After 8 months, the speaker unit started randomly changing volume and inputs every few seconds, effectively became unusable. The fact that its minimum volume is ridiculously high has been a pain as well. I love the form factor, do not like the product after all.This is about as tall as two knuckles of your finger, about as long as a smallish skateboard, and about as wide. The top is a hard plastic and you probably could rest things on it, but I don't. The treble comes out the "front" (which is the side of the skateboard), and the bass fires down. This wasn't clear from the descriptions I read. I bought a nice shelf and slid this guy underneath and now I have my monitor right above it and have good audio. Beware, it's a powered speaker and quite loud. The volume buttons on the skateboard are Windows media buttons, so it adjusts the OS volume rather than having its own separate volume. It would have been nicer if it had an analog control, but it's fine. Just adjust your application volumes downward and then you get more range on the physical control buttons. The audio is very clear. I like it a lot.
