After a few days of testing, here are my findings:
Pros:
- Great sound quality.
- Great exterior finish and fits well with my setup. Slim and reduced footprint works for me.
- Digital Audio cable is included.
Neutral:
- No auto-off. This is might be a pro for some and a con for others. Since the product has no auto-on feature, you will have to power it up every time you need it. Since you can leave the item on all the time, this can work for some. Be aware that this has a rating of 1.0A so that is a consideration. Also, in the end, leaving any gadget on for an indefinite period creates faster wear.
- Other input modes are not included, so be sure to read through the available features before purchasing. I used the Digital Audio connector, and have no need for others.
Con:
- Power cord is not as long as I had hoped, so I personally had to adjust my connectors to accommodate.
Packaging was solid and product was untarnished upon delivery.
Extremely fast setup, was able to pair my phone and laptop within 2 minutes of taking it out of the box to initially test the sound quality. Trebles and mids are very crisp. For a soundbar, the bass is present and delivers good sound. However, I also have a few subs hooked up to my TV so I am not as concerned about this product having ground-shaking bass. As such, if you are expecting strong stand-alone bass, I would suggest supplementing this product with one or more subwoofers depending on the size of your room. Finally, unlike other soundbars I have used in the past, the sound does not get distorted when increasing the volume. Pleasantly surprised at this ---- definitely a testament to the internal acoustics.
Didn't have any trouble connecting this soundbar to my phone via Bluetooth and to my TV via the included optical cable. Being able to shift between these modes is helpful when deciding whether to keep connected to the TV or just using it on its own. The transition between modes is very fast as well, which is convenient.
There is a full set of controls on the side of the soundbar (just in case you misplace the remote) which is definitely a plus. The remote is lightweight, easy to use, and met my expectations.
All-in-all, I really like this soundbar! Very good value, I will be sure keep this review up-to-date should my expectations change in either direction.
This is a really nice sound bar. Small enough to be a large blue tooth speaker but yet will fit under a TV for a great sound either way. Nice deep bass for its size. Clear and loud. Easy connections to my phone and mac. Connects to other devices as well easily. The controls are discretely placed. Keeps little hands from messing around with the setup when placed appropriately. The added remote control allows this to be mounted so that the controls are hidden completely. It has mounting hooks on the back fro wall mounting. and comes with screws and drywall plastic anchors to get the job done - the measuring sheet in the box allows for easy drilling and mounting the screws right the first time on your wall. The speaker then can be attached to the screws simply by sliding it in. The power port is set inside at a depth so that the power plug does not cause any issues when mounted on the wall.
The only downside that I saw was the glossy surface grabs on to finger prints like crazy but again it makes it look good when it is visible and is easy enough to cleanup. Typical glossy surface problem. However when mounted that goes away.
The sound fills a very large room comfortably and no vibrations when the volume is maxed out.
Great speaker all in all. I was invited to review this product - I found the product to be great and a great value for the price.
I have a fairly inexpensive LCD TV that has decent audio, but nothing fantastic. I wanted to add a sound bar for a couple reasons. One, I assumed it would sound better, but also because I wanted to have a Bluetooth speaker for my phone when I'm cleaning and doing other stuff around my apartment. This satisfies both needs for me. Audio quality is very good; definitely a step above the internal speakers in my TV. The Bluetooth function works great too. Good range all around my apartment and it gets more than loud enough.
My only complaint about these sound bars are how they sit in front of your TV. This is no fault of this model itself, but I always think it looks a bit goofy in front of my TV because my TV's base extends a fair distance out. This leaves it looking less than seemless unless you have a mounting scheme in mind or your TV has a small base. Again, that's not really an issue with this sound bar, but it is something to think about when adding a sound bar to your setup.
All in all, I'd recommend this. These things can be super expensive, and this one is pretty good the price. It's nice to have multiple inputs, even though my main use is just using the optical in for the TV and Bluetooth for my phone. I also like that there are hard buttons on the side of the unit, even though I almost exclusively use the remote.
Perfect for what I need it for. I use it in our camper room to hear our tv. We couldn’t hear TV with the AC on. I bought a Allimity transmitter to put on my tv to get a Bluetooth connection(wireless), you just have to run a power cord.

I have been mighty pleased by this soundbar.
It has a very fine finish, and feels like a high-end product. I had been looking for a wireless subwoofer and soundbar for my TV when I found this product.
I did not mount this soundbar on the wall, although I will note that it is very light in weight and the wall mount process is easy. The soundbard comes with wall mount brackets . I put it on the TV rack and connected it to all of my electronic items (Apple TV, Echo Dot, and iPhone) via Bluetooth.
everything you should need except batteries for the remote.
Its hard not to notice how good the finish on the soundbar is. The control buttons on the right side of the soundbar, and include buttons for power, bluetooth pairing, volume +-, and source. The soundbar has LED lights to indicate status (red means off, blinking blue means ready to pair, stable blue means paired, etc.) Additionally, a very easy to use and intuitive remote is also supplied.
I was very happy with the audio quality. The bass was great, as was audio clarity. Even at high volume, the soundbard help to good quality sound and performed well. I love the sound and have been using it for all of my music and TV playing purposes.
I highly recommend this soundbar, if you are looking for something similar.
Packaging
The product comes neatly bundled in one small packing. The soundbar along with the power supply, audio cables and a remote. Would be nice to include the batteries for the remote as well, but that's a big deal. It also comes with wall mounting screws and a label for it. Very neat and thoughtful and not a lot of waste material in the packaging as well.
Device Look and Feel
It is a shiny little device which sits very nicely on my TV stand in the living room. Takes up very little space. There is a small LED inside the front grill which is a nice visual cue of when the remote is conversing with the soundbar. The logo placement is very neat and isn't loud atall.
Sound Quality
On full volume the device is very loud and can be heard throughout my house. Even at the loudest setting there is no distortion at all. I compared it against my Samsung soundbar and this one is a couple of notches better in terms of sound quality.
Overall
I would surely recommend this product to any anyone looking to invest in a soundbar and is on a budget. This doesn't fail to impress.
What we have here is a budget friendly sound bar that would be great for use as audio soeakers for a PC, a small television, or an office.
Background: I'm an avid listener of Rap/Hip-hop, Metal, Classical, the whole spectrum of electronic music, and classic/hard rock - so my taste and audio needs stretch pretty widely from base heavy, hard driving beats to clean crisp detail clarity.
This little soundbar has enough 'umph' to listen to most music adequately so long as you don't push the volume maximum. After receiving this I put it through the ringer of songs I know will push the envelope for audio clarity and definition, base depth, and distortion. I found about half the time much of the performance depended on the audio quality of the sound file and the other half the actual speakers.
When compared to my $500 Vizio sound bar w/separate base speakera obviously there's no comparison. So keep an open mind with your expectations.
Based on the performace and size I would aay this would work great for a office PC for listening to low to moderate volume music, or for pc games where deep base isn't a priority, as well as a small TV in a kids room or guest bedroom.
For what it cost - you'll be hard pressed to find a better value. I've used enough TaoTronics products by now that their quality meets my expectations for budget consumer electronics with a number of items lasting years at this point.
When this bar, used as intended within its limits, is a good value.
I've owned few soundbars from Samsung and Vizio, and this TaoTronics' can easily compete with those big brand names. The sound is punchy and loud for being only 25 inch. I think it'll be perfect for like a 40 inch tv. I have a 65 inch tv so this soundbar looks pretty small but it's got a variety of inputs such as bluetooth, optical cable, as expected. I think the physical look of it is great too with minimal branding! I do like that the side buttons are obvious too, if I were to lose the remote for some reason.
I'd like to point out few areas that I think could've been improved to make this product better though.
1. Pre-recorded voice notifications - when bluetooth connects, it speaks out loud saying bluetooth has been connected. I wish that was like a some sort of pleasant beep instead of someone's voice. Fortunately, it doesn't make noise when turning it on and off, but it reminds me of cheap Chinese bluetooth speakers I've had in the past that plays its own preset of tunes :(
2. Indicator light in the middle. When watching the TV, I couldn't help but to keep looking at the blue dot...
Other than those two little things, I'm very pleased with the soundbar. It comes with a mounting template sheet too, and I think I'll use it in our bedroom or the office!
Nice mountable design with tactile controls on one side of bar, i also own a previous bluetooth soundbar(34 inch - TT-SK15) where in the controls are at the center so this is a nice improvement,audio quality is stellar, loud bass, sound and easy to operate with remote and sounds excellent with TV with optical cable for more crispier sound.
High-sensitivity IR remote control displays the different modes by means of differently colored LED lights, i also plugin using my 3.5mm audiojack(not included) when i use it in my office room and use it as a stereo speaker which plays very well. Bluetooth range is standard and covers a long distance across rooms into my kitchen and it remembers multiple devices which is a nice addition - perfect value for money for the 18 month TT guarantee
its a perfect addition for my studio room, i highly recommend it for the price point.
