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

When I first installed it, I though nothing had changed. sounded just like the tv speakers, which were still on. I turned of the internal speakers, and still noticed almost no difference. I was on a news channel with just voices, and that was the issue, when I switched to a movie with action noises and music, it was a noticeable and much improved sound quality.So don't condemn it until you've tried a few different settings (bass, EQ being the main ones) and try different sources.

Got this on early prime day deal for $89, regular $119. We installed it in 10 min after we had to get an optical cable as our flatscreen didn’t have the appropriate HDMI port. We put it in our master bath as the TV sound was not good and struggled to hear anything over the bath jets and shower. This speaker is amazing and is a perfect fix for a smaller room. I give it 5 of 5 stars!

I bought this because our Vizio TV has horrible speakers, and, as I'm rather hard of hearing, the Vizio sound quality made it difficult for me to watch without closed captioning turned on. The sound bar arrived yesterday, and I set it up today. Rather than go through with you all the hoops I had to go through to get it set up, let me get to the bottom line: I finally got it to work, but the remote that came with it is not working for me at all!Fortunately, I can control the volume with my FireTVStick remote. However, I can't simply hold the volume + or - button to increase or decrease the sound; I have to click it to adjust the sound to the desired level. That could be anywhere from 10 to 20 clicks. This is a real downer.But the reason I'm giving a relatively high rating of four stars is because, for me at least, the sound bar allows me to actually understand what's being said without having to read the closed captioning continually. Were it not for the fact that I can't get the remote to work and that I need to make so many individual clicks to adjust the sound, I would have given the soundbar five stars.

Unit would not work with HDMI cable included with unit , my TV did not have the right connection . ordered optical cable and it sounds like a million bucks. I wish the cable would’ve come with the unit. Great affordable soundbar very good bass and overall sound.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The set up is easy enough and the sound amazing, love the eq settings and the spatial sound, it’s a bargain at the prime day price !

So, I have a insignia fire tv so you would think an Amazon fire soundbar would work perfectly?It was particularly hard to set up, but the issue was that tv speakers wouldn't switch off so I would have an echoing, double effect of audio. The setting said they were off, but they were not. In fact, I couldn't even switch them off normally. Even with nothing connected, I switch them off and still get sound pushed through.I kept trying to fix it. What I had to do was:1) Settings2) HDMI-CEC control3) Switch One Touch Play off4) Turn off Soundbar5) Set Volume to 06) Turn Soundbar back onThat seem to let the soundbar function independently, get rid of the echoing, and get everything to work as described. The downside, the volume will only go up and down at 2 intervals despite what I set it to internally. And, there is no easy way to switch between the TV and sound bar for audio without screwing up the good result I got after working all day on it.Also, make sure you plug into your first HDMI port/Arc port. I had my gaming console set up and didn't realize my intital issue of no sound was the fact that I needed to swap the ports.Frankly, being an Amazon soundbar with and Amazon TV that specifically has a set up for it. I would say the functionality kind of sucks because it it should just work, like it says it should, by following the instructions without having to search up and down for way to keep both audios from playing. Like, the setting say the internal speakers were off despite being a lie and that setting effected nothing. It made it more difficult them it needed to get it to work somewhat normally.I would prefer to set it so volume interval is 1 but I guess to make this usable I am stuck at 2 everytime. And, I better hope that nothing changes and messes it up again in a update to the TV.The sound itself is a improvement, and there is a marked difference between regular and surround sound. It sort of like watching TV versus going to a theater. It terms of the way it fills the room and hits your ear. I can't say that the movie, music, dialogue settings seem to different to me. The size is okay. It just tall enough to not block my screen. The length is just about the size of my dresser. Depth is about 3.5 inches so as long as you have another room in front or to push back your TV, you will be fine.Overall, it is nice but I am not sure if I am total happy I bought it considering it was almost $90 for what I would categorize as works okay. I feel like for that price, and the fact I specifically bought Amazon for the fact I thought it would better with fire tv, that I am not blown away. Happy for now, but not impressed.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I spent $200 on Vizio surround sound. I sent it back. Got this because sometimes less is more. Less than ½ the price and am extremely pleased! Great for the money!

Works (sometimes) with the Fire stick via bluetooth and sounds great when it does. Be sure to check compatibility with your specific model of television before you purchase. Luckily, I have a Fire stick because it does not work with my tv through HDMI. There are sometimes when it doesn't turn on and connect with the Fire stick when I turn on the tv.
