BESTISAN sound bar S8520

WOWZA! Solid Soundbar with great acoustics especially bass...Stylish, easy to install and use. Upon opening, I noticed it was well packed. The soundbar has some weight and the two mounts are solid and attached nicely and have rubber cushions. Included is the SB, instructions, remote w/two AAA batteries, (1) Digital Audio, (1) RCA cable and power cord. You will need to provide two inwall mounts and screws. The mounting was very easy. You will need a level, drill or hole punch, two drywall mounts and screws. Locate the best position which is usually 2-4 incles below the TV center. Find center, level and place two hole makes approximately 8.75” from center. Drill one side and add mount and screw in till secure. Pull screw out 1/8”. Mount one side and readjust second mount hole if necessary. Drill second mount hole and install mount and screw. Your done with mounting! Decide which wire is best for your application, either the digital or RCA cable. In my case the digital was best. After deciding pull into your tv and SB. Next, Plug in the power cord to the back of the SB and wall outlet. Turn on and enjoy! Remote works volume and has a few different options and is easy to use. I am sure you can program your X1 remote to adjust the volume. Bluetooth was a snap. Hold the remote BT button down and watch the SB blue light blink check your device for the connection. The sound is better than expected and I am quite satisfied. Bohemian Rhapsody sounds awesome! Getting a second for the bedroom.

The sound isn't super duper awesome blow your socks off like higher end, more $$$$$ sound bars or speakers, but for what I use it for using the fiber optic cable from my PC it's pretty nice quality for the price. It's not tinny, good bass for not having a woofer, there IS a slight hiss as you raise volume pretty high but it ain't noticeable at lower more ear-friendly volumes, takes volume pretty good and does get fuzzy the higher ya go but I'm not here to blow me earballs out so the lower volumes for background music/audiobooks are just fine. Bluetooth surprised me. Running an android s22 ultra, I'm able to stay clearly connected thru walls up to 30ft away on the other side of the house. Ran thru multiple rooms while running YT music and still stayed connected and loud. Not the best, but pretty darn good considering the price and the Prime shipping can't be beat especially for me up here in the northern-most state.

Sounds good, even with analog plug-in. For now, I need to turn the bass all the way up and the treble all the way down, until I get an HDMI splitter with an HDMI ARC cord, or use the optical cord (for sound, Google it). Also needed to find the right balance between TV volume and sound bar volume. Somewhere in between for each one. You just need to mess with it using Netflix trailers. Our TV is an older flat screen with one HDMI and might not have an optical jack, I gotta look. SOOOO ... I will share what I know so far. HDMI from Roku to splitter, splitter is 1 cord in, 2 cords out (all HDMI ). 1 HDMI cord to TV and one HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) cord to sound bar. I believe this is the optimal setup. CORRECTION / UPDATE: I know it sounds weird, but configuration is actually TV in, and switch between Roku out and game console out. This switch is bidirectional, so it works perfect this way. Sound bar/system is usually always from TV to sound.

We bought this sound bar for our RV. We have a TV with speakers on the bottom of the set. Our TV rises up out of a cabinet, so most of the sound goes back into the cabinet. With our DVD player hooked up, the sound is much lower. Therefore, when watching a DVD we turned the TV sound up to 100% and when the AC is running, we could barely hear the dialog. Hence, this sound bar. We mounted the sound bar at the top of the slide using the enclosed mounting templet. We decided to use the optical audio cable that came with the unit. I will say the optical cable is sufficient for a permanent mounting use, but in our case, we will be buying a braided cable for more durability. Because our unit is mounted above the TV that retracts into a cabinet below it, we will have to disconnect the cable & power cord each time we lower the TV to move the RV. Therefore, a more enduring cable is our primary requirement. Now, neither my spouse nor I are audiophiles, but we think the sound from this bar is AWESOME. Deep bass with the “movie” mode. Fantastic sound with the “music” mode, and now we can hear what is being said without the music drowning out the conversation in “dialog” mode. In addition, the treble & bass can be controlled via the remote. Some reviewers stated that the volume did not get any louder than with their TV speakers. We, too, found this to be true when using the paired TV or DVD remote. However, when using the sound bar remote the volume can blast you out of the room. Once mounted it only took 10 minutes to have the sound bar working with all our devices and remotes. Very easy to set up & pair all of the remotes. We are very satisfied with our purchase. Would definitely recommend this sound bar. Will update this review with any future findings or issues.

I was using speakers powered by an amp/receiver before, but this soundbar plays directly from the TV through an optical cable. I eliminated the receiver, and the overall sound experience has been improved. Fits perfectly in the space I have.

I have a hard time hearing ,getting older , this sound bar helped a lot . and reasonable price .

Fonctionne très bien mais je l’ai changé pour une puissance plus élevée
