BESTISAN Soundbar, TV Sound Bar with Wired HDMI and Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 Home Theater System (28 Inch, Enhanced Bass Technology, 3-Inch Drivers, Bass Adjustable, Wall Mountable, DSP)

It’s loud and sounds good. It rips. Buy one.

I recently bought the SaiYin 17" soundbar with subwoofer because it was Amazon Recommended, but the tonality was SO BAD I knew in 10 minutes I wouldn't be able to tolerate listening to it long term. I returned it and gave it a one star review, and purchased this BESTISAN instead. I already own a 3-year-old BESTISAN soundbar with subwoofer that's hooked up to my TV that I use daily, so I know what to expect from them in terms of tonality and sound quality. And this new one I just bought did not disappoint. Straight out of the box before making any adjustments the sound was balanced and clear. Then I hooked up my own 8" powered subwoofer to the bar's sub out port, and that was the icing on the cake! Made it 5x better. Momentarily turned it to max volume to experience what that was like, louder than you'd ever need it to be, and NO distortion whatsoever! Even the appearance of it is more attractive than all other soundbars I've owned. I have some advice for buying soundbars. This model has bass and treble adjustments on the remote, which is a VERY valuable feature that you should look for. Whether the "flat" sound is balanced like this one was, or way off, you're going to want to tweak it to get it perfect. Most bars don't have that. Second, this model has a sub out port instead of being supplied with a sub. In my experience, the subs that come packaged with soundbars aren't very good at all. If it's shaped like a narrow suitcase, trust me, it's going to be underwhelming. It's better to use a powered 8" minimum or 10" sub from a true audio system, with crossover and volume adjustments on the back. I was trying to decide whether to buy this 28" BESTISAN or the next step up, the 40", and I think I made the right decision. Based on my previous experience with this brand, I figured the high end would sound good on either one, but the low end would differ. Since I already had a powered subwoofer on hand that wasn't being used, I figured that would give me stronger bass than the 40" that has no provision for a sub. HOWEVER, if you don't have a sub and don't want to be bothered with that, the 40" is constructed with 2 tweeters and 4 full range drivers, which because of the crossover stopping the highs from reaching the 4, allows them to play the lower frequencies more strongly than my 28" which only has 3 full range drivers with no crossover. Although I haven't actually heard the 40", based on its superior speaker design I honestly think it's bass ability would satisfy 95% of people.

i have a 2019 Insignia 1089 smart Fire Stick HDTV that has begun to sound like actors are in a coffee tin. or even the string can telephones from the 70s. so i got this affordable speaker to prevent needing to upgrade to a brand new when the color and smart features still work fine. programming the remote, syncing with cable, ect. is such a hassle. plus, i can't find another Insignia with these features in a 40". this is pretty long - guessing 2-3 feet at least, almost as long as my TV - and dense/hefty. so where you decide to put it is important. not sure how anyone has space or beefed latches to hang it, but i have a TV armoir and it sits right in front of the TV, especially since the cords were not that long. i wanted a blue tooth unit for ease and no cords, but when i did a quick couple reads on how to get the best sound out of these bars, everyone said the HDMI ARC cable was the best bet. connecting via the ARC port is the 3rd of 3 options in the instructions on how to connect to a TV. i had an extra ARC cable that Cox techs left. once the ARC was connected to both the sound bar and the TV, i tried it out and VOILA! big base came booming out and my puppy noticed right away that the sound had improved. for now, i did not connect anything else except the ARC & power cord. don't know if i need the USB or (forgetting the) other cord, but do plan to hang onto them and the box and instructions. the remote was easy enough to get set up and has base and treble but VOL needs to be set considerably higher to hear well. normally leave classical music on for the animals at 15 but will need to set it almost quadruple that on this bar. the bar also has music, move, and dialogue settings. this is great for movie sound fx but also to flip back for times you can't hear what the actors are saying. for the cost, it is a solid, easy to install unit. i would rx.

Excellent product.

UPDATE 8-25-2025: Worked great (kind of) until it didn't. Occasionally, upon turning on the surge protector all my devices are plugged into, the speaker would screech once or twice. After that, it worked okay. About a month ago, sound would become muddy during a show, so I would get out of it, rewind and try again. Worked fine. Them two days ago the sound started cutting in and out, and then the bar made a loud, prolonged 'groaning' sound. Kind of electronic, kind of explosive. The light on the front will not turn green, and my LG tv says no sound device is connected. Whether it's the ARC cable or the speaker itself, I'm not sure, but looking for a new sound bar. And it won't be Bestisan. I bought this to replace an old Polk Audio (2011, 40W) soundbar since it started to come on at FULL BLAST, and the connection was limited to optical input. Once I cut the cord for Roku, the bar would not work for other devices, forcing me to use my LG OLED internal speakers to play dvds. Never did figure out why that was the case, but happy to have upgraded the system. The 12 year bar will be fine for the original LG tv it was purchased for in my bedroom. Or not. Having purchased Bestisan stereo speakers earlier this year, I felt confident with the brand, and thus far, no disappointments. Set up was not quite as intuitive as hoped, but this was due I am sure to old settings to accomodate the old bar. I love figuring out this stuff though, so the "fun" lasted a little longer!! :-) After some trial and error, I was able to get my LG remote to control sound, and then, got my Roku remote to talk to the bar. The fewer the remotes, the better. I will forfeit the music/movie/dialogue options, but of little use to me anyway. I can't say that serious audiophiles will be impressed, but at $85 and 30% off coupon, I would recommend this for those needing a good soundbar, particularly since it offers a wide variety of connection options--not all bars do. Note that you will need to buy your own HDMI cable, otherwise, the box comes with everything you'll need including batteries for the remote to get up and hearing.

I won't be too much of a Scrounge. The speakers sound pretty decent. I had no noticable delay using Bluetooth to connect to my TV. Pairing was pretty straight forward to be honest. Audio volume and quality is noticably better than the built in speakers in the TV. I just maxed out the volume on the speaker itself and use the TV to control the overall volume otherwise. Also the bar is pretty damn big. In the picture, that's a 65 inch Samsung behind it. I wouldn't recommend this 40inch model for any TVs under 65inches. The design is also very practical and I think the females will approve of it more than other models that are a bit more on the boxier side. This unit is slightly more rounded and curvy. Also the 3 audio modes are actually well tunes for their intended purpose but I find the MOVIE mode just sounds the best overall. And there's no noticable audio distortion even a Mac volume which is well appreciated. I'd rather have a low beautiful sound than a loud obnoxious mess. Good decision guys. Now for my cons. I wasn't able to get the optical input working because the TV won't detect it. My TV doesn't have RCA/composite audio out so I couldn't try that either. But my biggest grip against this sound bar is the VERY misleading advertising of "100 watts". First of all this is in no way 100 watts, it's not even 40 watts. The power supply is a 19V adaptor with 1.83amps. Now the way you calculate wattage is to multiply voltage times amperage. So 19 x 1.83 = 34.77 watts. Maybe if I find a 19V power supply with 5.26amps then I could test if it's actually capable of the 100watts claim. Also for the sheer size of this sound bar, I think it should be alot louder and fuller sounding. I think I'm gonna try a few other sound bars and see if I can be satisfied within this price bracket.

I bought it for my man cave and it sounds good.. The set up was easy but I would recommend buying a upgraded optical cable rather than the one that came with it

It improved my TV sound a lot. It was easy to install. Seems well built. It works well for its price range. The remote control doesn't have as much range as most, but it works.

I have been pleasantly surprised by this soundbar. I needed one that was no more than 28 inches long, so several others were ruled out. And I was looking for a very good price, which was the case (now more expensive). The bass is surprisingly good (important to me) and it's definitely loud enough for TV viewing. But note that the soundbar doesn't really improve the clarity of dialogue as claimed.

I do not regret buying it, it is the best soundbar I’ve got. Great bass and clear audio with the HDMI ARC. I totally recommend it to everyone out there searching for a sounsbar.

Me gusta mucho el tamaño, es compacto y se puede colgar en la pared. Lo fácil que es conectar al TV y a los equipos con Bluetooth. El sonido es muy bueno también.

For our 13 yr old TV where the sound is starting to get tinny and likely needs to be replaced, this was a great addition with an amazing sound system. The only con is having to have a separate remote for sound (we have a fire stick remote for TV). Maybe there’s a way to connect them, I just haven’t looked into it that closely. Definitely recommend.
