Great Soundbar!
Soundbars are a great and compact way to enhance your music listening experience. This soundbar is amazing, I like everything about it! It has a Remote control, Wall mount hardware, Optical cable, digital volume control, Supports Bluetooth, Optical digital audio input, Aux In 3.5mm audio input, RCA stereo audio inputs, 2.0 channel stereo sound, 2 x 3.5 stereo speakers, and a Wireless range 60 ft. I would definitely recommend this soundbar and the price is right!

Only works on PS5, silent on all other inputs.
Was looking forward to having great sound other than what the TV spits out. Unfortunately the sound bar only works when the Playstation 5 is played and not on any other inputs (TV Apps, internet, Youtube, cable tv) to the TV. If anyone has any idea on why that is happening, I would like to know why.

    Low quality sound
    Needed a speaker to boost the sound from our TV but the quality was worse on this speaker than from the TV itself. It might be useful for the Bluetooth output for other devices but the sound quality is what you expect from a cheap speaker, whatever the size.

    Good forFire TV, useless for Roku
    Sound is good on my Fire TV, but this doesn't work with Roku TVs. Bluetooth won't connect and no hdmi on soundbar Sotheby's optical cable is the only alternative. If you use the optical cable the tv remote doesn't control volume. The remote that works on the soundbar is tiny and illegible. If you have a Roku tv, get a Roku soundbar nothing else will please you.

    Nice sound bar
    This iLive 32" HD Sound Bar with Bluetooth (ITB190B) is nice and sleek. It is somewhat lightweight, so it is easy to install. It looks nice and has easy to use buttons on the side as well. The sound is great. It enhances my movie watching experience. I like that I can control it with the little remote that it comes with. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and has a light film of fabric covering the speaker across the front. On the back of the sound bar is two brackets to hand it from the wall. I set it behind my TV, so I didn’t use them, but it comes with the paper template to let you know where the screw holes go, along with the screws & anchors. The sound is clear and crisp. It has Bluetooth connectibility too. I can sync my phone or tablet to it. Overall it is good quality.

    A Little Grainy Sound Wise
    I wouldn't say this is amazing sound, but it is a little reminiscent of an extra speaker as opposed to a soundbar. When using it connected to the television, the sound gets a bit grainy. When connected to the phone or computer, the sound is better. It's not what you would think when you think sound bar though. It doesn't necessarily bounce the sound around a room. I do wish the cable was a tad longer so I could hide it further behind the tv, but it works well right underneath because it is small. For the size, it's really bad. You can install it quickly and without issue. It's not top of the line, but it's not awful either.

    Excellent value!
    I have to admit, at this price point, I had low expectations for this sound bar, but I must say, I am extremely impressed! If you are looking add a simple upgrade to your TV speakers or listen to music through Bluetooth, then this is a great choice. I compared this to my built-in TV speakers while watching a Star Wars battle scene, and I was blown away at the difference. The sound was awesome and in a small room it could get LOUD. It was well packed and super easy to set up. It comes with an optical cable, so just plug it in and you're good to go. It comes with mounting hardware if you want to mount it to the wall. The pre-set EQs for "movie", "music", "dialogue", etc. actually work very well and I would encourage you to use them appropriately. I felt Star Wars lacked bass, but then I noticed a big improvement when I changed it to "movie" mode. Music felt somewhat flat until I changed it to "music" mode, and it then had a very full sound. A few minor cons: 1. The biggest flaw is the very bright light that is always on (shown in the photos). It's bright enough that it can be distracting. I'd prefer that it dimmed itself when not in use. 2. Good luck not losing the remote. It is small, thin and feels like a toy. Thankfully, the soundbar has built in controls on the side, so you can still use it if you lose the remote. 3. I wish it had HDMI-ARC support, so that you could control the volume with your TV remote, but at this price point that is to be expected. 4. There's no volume indicator of any kind. Too quiet? Turn it up. Too loud? Turn it down. But don't expect to know you're at "volume 20" or "50%" for example. 5. It's still an entry level 2.0 soundbar, so while it does pack a punch, don't expect earth shattering bass. There are other more expensive options out there if you need a subwoofer or dedicated center channel. Overall, if the cons I listed are not a dealbreaker for you, and you're looking for an affordable way to upgrade your TV speakers and listen to music through Bluetooth, then you really can't go wrong with this sound bar!

    Great value
    I got this sound bar from iLive to use with the tv in our bedroom, we like to listen to music and watch movies, and our tv speakers just aren't good enough. The sound bar is a real step up from our tv, it's not a full sound system quality but a significant improvement. I connected it via the optical cable provided, but if your tv has Bluetooth, I think the sound bar would work even better as you'd have volume control as well, but the remote control works well, and with the different sound settings on it, you can tailor the sound to movies, music talking and standard. The Bluetooth connection works amazingly with my phone, connecting quickly and strong, for when I use my phone or iPad for music, it's a great feature making it a lot more versatile. Setup was easy, sound is definite improvement on tv, maybe lacks a bit of base, but I think the sound bar is good value, and Bluetooth connection is great, it looks great and comes with easy wall mounting hardware, so I'd recommend having a look at it.

    Better than expected
    I bought the ilive bluetooth soundbar and I'm happy I didn't skip this. This soundbar is everything. It's easy to connect super loud and fits in most spaces. Has a place in the back to mount it to your wall. Comes with a remote control. The bass is great. I have purchased 2 additional ones for my home. Just buy it. You won't be disappointed.

    Works great
    I bought this iLive 32" HD Sound Bar with Bluetooth about a month ago and I love it. It works great and the sound is really clear with no crackle sound. It's easy to set up. I definitely recommend trying this sound bar.

    Simple setup and good sound quality
    Easy to setup. Simply plug in the optical canle to your tv and the sound bar and plug into an outlet and you are ready to go. Easy to use remote, though it is TINY so only a matter of time before it gets misplaced in my house! Bluetooth is easy to connect as well. Don't really notice any “surround sound” but the sound that does come out is good quality.

    What a great Sound bar!!
    Excellent choice of a sound bar that’s for sure..puts out sound like you’ve never heard.. easy to hook up and even is Bluetooth capability. Comes with a wall mount so you can even hang it up if you choose to do so. I enjoy watching movies and with this sound bar hooked up sounds like you are in a movie theater.. absolutely was thrilled with this product. You won’t be disappointed!

    Won't pair with Roku TV
    The bluetooth won't pair with Roku TV. This is not the problem with the soundbar. It's the TCL TV won't work unless you buy the Roku soundbar. You have to resort to optical or other wired connection.
