Revainrating 2 out of 5

Only buy this if you intend to use bluetooth exclusively

Bought primarily as a pc speaker which connects via 3.5mm and sometimes plays bluetooth from my phone, disappointed. The soundbar is suitable for playing music from your phone or as a soundbar for your TV. Main issues when using a 3.5mm plug and/or when plugged into a power source other than a wall outlet. 1. Hissing noise is heard when connecting to a computer via the USB port. Plugging into an outlet solves this problem, but means it cannot be used with a laptop.2. Playback is delayed when connected via 3.5 mm, movies sometimes skip words mid-sentence, doesn't seem to happen when connected via Bluetooth, but quality suffers when playing music.3. Bluetooth only works when 3.5mm is off, a simple switch would work fine. It looks like the Bluetooth feature was added as an afterthought, plus there's a significant delay when the speaker turns on. I suspect the sound is coming through a cheap BT module which could explain the whistling and hissing noises. Gave 3 stars for sound quality as you can't use the full potential of the speaker when using Bluetooth while tapping 3.5mm. 2 stars overall as the 2nd fault makes this purchase a bad one.
