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)

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.

We were pleasantly pleased with the sound quality and volume, especially for the price of this soundbar. Since HDMI ARC is supposed to be the best connection that's what we did but it took a little work to find all the TV settings to make the soundbar turn on and off correctly. That was a fault of our TV and not this soundbar. If it were to do over, I'd just use the AUX or Bluetooth for a much faster setup. Our Firestick defaulted to 5 increments on the volume and we needed to change that to 2 in order to more finely tune how loud it was.

Easy to mount but took me a minute yo figure out you have to put the right end of the bar in the wall mount then the left goes in easily. Not hard to set up. Bass sounds tight, no vibration. Treble clear. I hear sounds i never heard from my tv speakers. Very low latency. Easy pairing. Paired with a 1Mii Bluetooth transmitter. Only gripe was there was a flat head, Philips, mount screw missing but found one at the hardware store. I mounted the bar on the wall above the tv 64" from the floor. Power cord was just long enough since the outlet was directly below the bar. Best to mount it lower if your situation allows. All said, I am pleased!

Perfect Bluetooth pairing to a TV across the room on a wall adjoining another bedroom so I can watch TV anytime with great sound and not disturb anyone else. The unique shape with a downward tilt towards the back allows my blind to close on an angle for complete privacy. Paired the sound to my Vizio TV and have seamless on/off and volume controls on a Firestick remote.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
