LARKSOUND 2.1 CH Sound Bar with Built-in Subwoofer, Small Soundbar for TV, PC, Gaming, Mini TV Speaker with Bluetooth/HDMI ARC/Optical/AUX/USB Connections

Alot of sound for small places

this makes a great center channel with contained sub for PCs it is not a good movie speaker nor is it that great at 2.1 it can be a bit muddy compared to my hifi 2.0 Nylavee sound bar. however, for pragmatism of office space, there is no need to put a bulky sub on the floor for a great subbass-this unit has it built into the bar body itself!(wish they had a wooden vairant). if you want to jury rig a make-shift 5.1 with office space in mind this is a great center/sub for your analogue soundcard(SB X-3 or AE-5 varient) just plug this 2.1 Aux into your "Center/sub" port then plug in a hifi varient to the 2.0/4.0 port and voila! you have just cake-baked a 5.1 with hifi sound! clear as a center channel for narrations in games I test-flight the system I mixed by using the exellent narrative opening in Kingdom Come Deliverance. and the bass quality matched perfectly with vocal clearity and my 2.0 hifi nylvee soundbar caught on the music. works great in in game dialgoue as well! in fact, the bass is picked up via all the speakers, not just this Larksound as the creative sound hub is smart enouugh to channel its bass sub into all the other channels! I only give it 4 stars because as its primary use it is not too good it has way too much bass and not enough midrange and as others have said can be overbearing. But as a center/sub it works perfect for games! just remember, that only the left speaker is being used, but takes better advantage of the built insub good space saver as it is in the soundbar and it is also utilized in your chosen 2.0/4.0 set making it 5.1! with the right skills you may even make it a 5.2 with dual center if you added a sub(but I haven't got the connections for it).

I’ve used a few soundbars and honestly even though it is cheap and small it packs a good punch. the bass is pretty good for being an all in one sound bar and the mid range and high range are pretty clear. Arc works very well and everything else works as intended. I recommend keeping the Music or Movie setting on because any other EQ makes it sound tinny.

This speaker has decent bass and high end. Mid range is a bit lacking. And suffered from a subtle reverb. Can get quite load, power is a non-issue. I'm no audio purest but even my layman ears could tell it's just sounds off. It's puts out a full sound but not a rich one. I did try all the sound modes - MUSIC seems to be the most balanced. MOVIE mode amps up the bass substantially. Std + VOICE are very flat and tinny. Being an off-brand couldn't get to work via ARC. Nor control via CEC on an LG TV I tested with. Ended up using a HDMI switch w/ optical audio extractor to even test the sound. Lack of any Vol indicator is another drawback. And quite slow to change Vol level. Not a fan of the piano black finish. Dust and fingerprint magnet. Sure it's better than any TV speakers but that is a very low (sound)bar. Go with a name brand to avoid compatibility headaches.

I’ve been looking for a decent speaker for my small 22” kitchen TV that is primarily used with an Apple TV and up until now, Bluetooth speakers. I’ve tried all the connections this soundbar has to offer, except HDMI ARC since my old TV doesn’t have that capability. Not surprisingly, optical sounds the best and cleanest, followed by BT, with Aux last. I don’t need this to replace a Dolby atmos system or used as my main TV setup, just something in the kitchen I can watch while cooking or doing dishes. Built-in sub is understandably a bit weak but adequate for my uses. With an optical connection, I don’t get the occasional interference that affects my BT speakers. Found this on prime day at a good price so yeah, it’s a keeper.

I'm giving this one star because I'm unable to use it for one of its intended purposes; a television. I originally bought this sound bar for a small TV (it's important to note that the TV is only 1yr old and has the capabilities to work with a sound bar) I have in the kitchen, but unfortunately, it didn't quite meet my expectations. When first turning the TV on, the sound bar interferes with the TV input, changes the input, and often requires multiple attempts to get the correct input to work. This can be frustrating and time-consuming. I tried using both the optical cable and the audio cable and had the issue with both cables. Another issue I encountered was the slow response of the remote control. It's not as snappy as I'd like it to be, which can be annoying when you're trying to adjust the volume or switch settings quickly. On a positive note, the sound quality is good. When it does work, the sound bar delivers clear and crisp audio, enhancing the overall viewing experience. Since I've surpassed the return window, my intention is to test it with my computer, where the input issues might be less troublesome. As for my TV, I'll be actively seeking an alternative sound bar that doesn't disrupt the input and provides a more responsive remote control. This sound bar might work well for some, but it's essential to be aware of its limitations.

value for money/ease of setup/quality

So, let me say that when I say sound quality, I am talking about it's ability to produce sound when I want it to. The actual sound it produces is fine, but the design of when it will and will not produce that sound is the big problem. So, I have one of these at work and initially I didn't realize the issues and I bought a second one for the home. The one at work I have tried to run off of USB and off of Bluetooth and they both have the same issue, it doesn't want to stay on all of the time. The speaker will just turn off whenever it feels like with little regard for whether it's actively playing sound or not. The problem with the home setup is a bit work because at home I am using the optical cable and it will turn off the sound until it detects that sound is being produced, which means that if I am in a meeting that I am effectively missing the first word or two of every sentence which is really annoying. tl;dr this seems to be a speaker that does not really like playing sound. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Después de comparar numerosas opciones en el mercado, finalmente encontré esta barra de sonido 2.1 canales que destaca por su tamaño compacto, algo difícil de conseguir en esta categoría. La adquirí principalmente para usarla en mi escritorio, donde disfruto música ocasionalmente, juego de vez en cuando y veo alguna serie. Lo que inicialmente me atrajo fue su tamaño, ideal para espacios reducidos. Pero lo que realmente me sorprendió fue su rendimiento: supera con creces a otras barras de sonido más grandes que he probado a lo largo de los años. La calidad del sonido, la eficiencia del diseño y la experiencia general han sido excelentes. Por su precio, dimensiones y el ahorro de espacio que ofrece, no puedo darle menos que un 100. Un producto totalmente recomendable.

La seguiré probando, tiene buena apariencia y buen funcionamiento, el control remoto no es muy sensible al cambiar de volumen
