100Watt 40 Inch Soundbar, BESTISAN Sound Bar Wireless and Wired Audio Bluetooth 5.0 TV Speakers with HDMI-ARC Function (2023 Beef UP Version, DSP Audio, Bass Adjustable, Wall Mountable)

I bought this sound bar to replace my TV’s built-in speakers and have been using it daily for about two weeks in a small living room setup. It sits directly under my 55-inch TV on the media console and is connected via HDMI-ARC. In real use, it made an immediate difference for dialogue clarity, which was my main reason for buying it. Voices sound fuller and easier to understand, especially during movies and TV shows. I also tested it with gaming and casual music playback over Bluetooth, and it handled both well without distortion at normal listening volumes. Setup was straightforward, and the remote makes it easy to switch inputs or adjust sound modes without touching the unit. Pros • Clear, well-balanced sound for dialogue and TV viewing • Multiple connection options (HDMI-ARC, optical, AUX, USB, Bluetooth) • Compact wave-base design fits neatly under most TVs • Simple setup and easy-to-use remote Cons • Bass is clean but not very deep, as expected without a subwoofer • Remote buttons feel a bit basic Compared to TV speakers and older compact sound bars I’ve used, this offers noticeably better clarity without taking up much space. Verdict A solid choice for anyone who wants a clean, space-saving sound upgrade for TV, gaming, or casual music without dealing with a full surround system.

I have been looking for a soundbar with great sound and design, yet budget conscious price. I can confidently say that BYL soundbar gave me exactly what I needed from ALL perspectives. And because I had to try at least 4 different ones and finally found what I loved, I decided to write a long review. My daughter and her friend helped me with the testing, so I need to recognize their help. First of all, I do not like the ones that are not very long, they look weird under the TV. BYL is 40 inches and it aligns very well with the TV. Its design is also very nice with angular front and with solid legs making the setup very attractive looking. I am attaching pictures for that. Amazon Basics model I tried is just 32 inches and it really looked bad under the TV. And in order to form a reference point, we tested and used BYL soundbar and Amazon basics soundbar to build an informed comparison for overall review and decision. We watched a movie using the Amazon basics soundbar (in movie mode), and we quickly noticed that the voices of male actors were at a frequency lower than what the soundbar could handle, as it was more of an unintelligible buzzing; we strained our ears to decipher what they were saying most of the time, as the higher frequencies in their voices were often overshadowed by the low rumbling. After watching the movie, we connected BYL soundbar, and we tested the same scene described above, and the difference was quite noticeable. Male actor voices were much clearer, and while there were still low frequencies, it was more of a bass effect making it perfectly fine to understand what they are saying. Overall it was a night and day difference. BYL was a clear winner! We proceeded to play the same song on both soundbars ("Car Radio" by twenty-one pilots). The bass of the BYL thundered through the ground and into our feet and it was also better than the Amazon Basics one in terms of bass and clarity of the sounds. We then played a speaker test off of YouTube on each soundbar. With this, the differences were astounding. The BYL soundbar held up as the sound frequency increased from low to high (20 Hz to ~22,000 Hz), and the buildup of frequencies was literally palpable in the air. The Amazon Basics one, however, was more like a constant whine, with scratches and buzzes and rumbles here and there. This test sealed it obviously that BYL is an amazing soundbar. Finally, each soundbar has a remote, which features various commands, such as Bluetooth, volume increase and decrease, and sound settings (movie, news, etc.). The BYL soundbar has more of these sound settings, and it also has options to control the treble and base of the audio directly, whereas the Amazon soundbar does not provide that option. And of course, BYL has the infrared learning. With all those amazing features, sound quality and beautiful design, BYL is arguably the best soundbar to get. Strongly recommended!

This sound bar lasted 5 years. I purchased the smaller 34” unit in December 2020 and it has suddenly crapped out. During the duration of its life, it worked great. Great sound quality, integrated through my TCL tv using the optical cord, no issues with sound on any apps within the TV. I also used it frequently via Bluetooth for my record player and other apps. The sound on this is LOUD, the bass is great, better than a Sony sound bar I bought for my mom. I will likely be purchasing another one as I know the quality of this one is great for the cheap price. The only reason I didn’t rate 5 stars is because it suddenly stopped working. White light is on but no buttons on the unit or the remote are working. Unplugging overnight did not resolve the issue. I’m not sure the normal life of a sound bar but if 5 years is a standard life span, then i recommend this sound bar.

This is a very nice speaker. Sound is steady and nice. No static. Has different settings such as movie. I love this speaker. It is a little heavy that’s the only issue.

Compré esta bocina para hacer sesiones de karaoke y fiestas familiares, cuando salimos de viaje. Tiene muy buena calidad de audio, inclusive los bajos llegan a escucharse bastante bien, tiene muy buena separación de frecuencias. Personalmente las bocinas amplificadas comerciales no me gustan, son mas bromosas, son monoaurales y la calidad de audio es mala. El bluetooth está limitado en cuanto a potencia, no alcanza el máximo que la bocina puede dar, yo la conecté a una pequeña consola y creo que si alcanza los 100 watts que ofrece. Sin duda una excelente opción.

10/13/23 The soundbar started switching to ARC within seconds of connecting to AUX or Bluetooth. Rendering the othe capabilities unusable. Exactly 1 yr after purchase I wrote to the customer service and its been a month and still no response from them after multiple reminders. So I would say no after sales support. Careful when buying the product.
