Sound Bar for Smart TV, 50 Watts, 2.0 Bluetooth TV Sound Bar, 15 Inch Home Audio Sound Bars, Small Soundbar for TV and PC | AUX, RCA, Optical, USB | Gaming, Music, Movies - Bowfell Black

We’ve had this soundbar for nearly 4 years now and honestly love it. We used it in our bedroom with a TV we bought in 2015, so we used the aux cords to connect it. It has great sound for its size and we’ve never had any issues with it. We just upgraded to a bigger TV in our bedroom and it doesn’t have aux ports. Unfortunately, we had to get a newer soundbar to use with our new TV. We find ourselves missing this old soundbar because the new one we have needs to be turned up to a higher volume level compared to this Majority brand soundbar. We hope to move this soundbar to the basement to use with the TV down there. We haven’t used its Bluetooth feature yet, but we will update our review when/if we do. Overall, this soundbar worked well as a simple soundbar for our bedroom.

I bought the Majority Bowfell mainly for home karaoke, and it’s been a great choice. The RCA stereo input works perfectly with my setup, which is hard to find on modern soundbars. Setup was quick and hassle-free. Sound is clear and loud enough for singing, with surprisingly good bass for its size. Vocals come through clearly, and it also works very well for TV. Excellent value for the price — compact, easy to use, and versatile. Highly recommended for anyone needing RCA input or a simple karaoke setup at home.

Generally I am satisfied with this soundbar, my first ever. I am not by any stretch of the imagination an audiophile, so my observations may be faulty. The soundbar came well-packaged. However, a small issue was that the instruction sheet that was supposed to be included was not. No major problem, set-up is mostly intuitive, and I was able to download a manual PDF from the manufacturer's website to double-check my efforts. Still, the instructions SHOULD have been in the box. The sound itself is fairly good, though I haven't been able to adjust it to my complete satisfaction -- how much of the TV's own speaker sound should be mixed with the soundbar? I'm not sure -- it seems to be a personal opinion, but I would have appreciated some advice. As others have mentioned, this unit does not output much in the bass register -- okay for me, as I don't want to shake walls, but it may be a problem for other users. A small annoyance is that when the unit is turned on from the remote, the volume level is rather high no matter at what level it was left (this wouldn't be a problem in a house, but living in a condo with neighbors can make this kind of sudden sound explosion embarrassing and potentially problematic). Another small annoyance is that the adaptor cord is barely long enough in my situation -- I expected it would not reach my surge strip at all, but it did... just barely... and the fact that the jack is at the right end of the bar, rather than the rear center, could well make that cord too short for some users depending on their ball of spaghetti cord-situation. Minor issues, but for some they could be much more major. All in all, for me it seems to be an improvement over my TV's own sound, which was often too bass-heavy and full of distortion -- with the soundbar I've not had the TV volume rattle and hum as it used to do. The bar is small, attractive, and unobtrusive, and priced to sell even for experimental reasons -- can't go wrong with under forty bucks. I'm not one to need surround-sound Dolby etc etc high-end components (and volume needs to be kept reasonable for the common wall), so I don't mind that it's not an earth-shaker. I think I'll get a better sound mix the more I play with it. If not perfect, at this price it doesn't need to be. -W.D. Gagliani, author of The Judas Hit

Exactly what I needed!! I've used a handful of other sound systems, from super cheap to giant professional DJ. My old room TV sound was going and just needed something to replace it, basic, nothing crazy, just a small room. This was easy to setup, though I wish the aux cords were longer. It has a good range of sound, and connected immediately with no issue. My TV doesn't have the capability to turn it on automatically, so that's my only bummer, not the devices fault! Thankfully the on button is convenient. As a VERY photosensitive person I EXTREMELY appreciate the on/off color button is on the SIDE, so I'm not staring at a bright light that I'd need to cover. So for the amazing price, I think it's a perfect value!

I'll never understand what this seemingly incurable problem is with providing reasonable sound for a flat TV, but it seems to be unresolvable. Not only does the new wave of flat-screen TVs provide fantastic visuals, with almost feather-light frames, but they also provide absolutely dismal sound. I'll never understand why this would be so, but I have a suspicion: They do it so people will resort to buying a sound bar, to provide some semblance of acceptable sound. Except they can't even seem to do that. I've bought no less than half a dozen sound bars, or speaker systems, and the only thing that has met, or actually, exceeded my expectations, was a Bose home theater system. But for my other, smaller TVs, which also needed some help in the sound department, the sound bars they offer are a joke. And a bad joke. One begins to wonder: It could be that they actually are masters of the visual aspect of TV, because it's hard to imagine a TV picture any better than what we are seeing right now. But they don't seem to have a clue when it comes to the audio aspect. And that suspicion seems to be confirmed when we not only get a TV with terrible sound, but can't even find a sound bar that will cure the problem. Actually, it begins to appear that selling TVs with superb visuals but abysmal sound may possibly not be a deliberate ploy, after all. From the evidence, they simply may not be capable of coming up with anything better. I fondly remember having a rear-seat speaker in my 1956 Oldsmobile 98, which was a little 6"X9" speaker in the back window well, which delivered absolutely phenomenal sound, including booming, crisp bass, from the AM car radio, and I could crank it up louder than I could even stand to listen to. Connected by two wires. Now, you see all these sound bars advertised as having fantastic sound, thumping bass, etc, etc, coming from a small, slim housing, which sits neatly under the front of the TV. They tell us just exactly what we want to hear, except none of it is true. You've got to wonder: Where are all these glowing reviews coming from? Surely they're not talking about the same product that so many others are complaining about. In spite of the TV, which really needs the help in the audio department, these all talk about boosting your phone, or computer, and barely even mention that it can be used with your TV. In fact, you order it without any verbal assurance that it will even work with a TV, at all. If it would, by chance, be compatible with your TV, this is only mentioned in passing, and if you don't look hard for it, you will miss it. They mention all of the myriad choices for hooking it up, almost none of which can be understood, with the mangling of English descriptions. Further, they tie it in to a battery, which has to be re-charged, which calls for yet another connection, when we aren't looking for a battery in the first place. We just want a sound system, that works on AC, which will give us halfway decent sound. Somehow, that seems to be beyond the ability of the sellers to understand, or possibly beyond their ability to produce. They're selling their product in the United States, but somehow can't seem to manage to hire someone to describe the product so it can be understood. But the clincher is that most of them either don't work at all, or if they do, the sound you hear coming out is anemic and pitiful. Since virtually all of the sound equipment we can now find is manufactured somewhere in the Orient, and almost none of it is left that is made in the USA, the end result is that we're stuck with beautiful pictures on our TV, but abysmal sound coming out of it. And even when we spend the money to try to remedy the situation, we are hopelessly defeated. Looks like a wonderful opportunity for someone to step in and profit from, but nobody seems to be coming forth. It's really a major mystery as to why so many companies in the business of making speaker systems for TVs and computers are failing so miserably in making something that has been around for decades. That is to say, one that works. The part that defies understanding is that it should be such a simple device to make, and the market for it is incredible. It just doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to design a speaker, in a nice, wood-grain housing, that could be plugged into your TV set, to provide decent sound for a flat TV.

I wanted a small soundbar for my bedroom TV, mostly to have a front-facing speaker rather than a rear-facing speaker on the TV. It accomplishes that. Long ago, I read an article about this one being a great value, etc., and have had it in my Wishlist for a long time! The sound is very basic. I am no audiophile. I did not want any heavy bass, as I'm in an old apartment with a bedroom below me. I don't want to be rude. Small bonus-Though the description says the Optical cable is not included, there was a very basic one in the box. I had ordered an Amazon Basics cable, and it is much better quality. I was aware that I would probably need that second remote just to control the volume, and I will. On our other Samsung Smart TV, we have a Samsung soundbar, and somehow miraculously the cable remote controls the volume, which is a blessing! Getting used to the second remote will be a drag, and it's pretty low quality, and oddly, the edges are sharp making it uncomfortable to grab and hold on to. The descriptions states-"Our tv soundbar and speaker comes with various audio connections and an EQ feature to customize your audio to how you want it. Music, radio, gaming, movies, live sport." I do not find this to be the case at all. On the remote, there are 3 buttons-Jazz, Rock, and Flat. (?) Those are the only sound adjustments I find, and I hear little difference. If that is the "EQ Feature", it is feeble. It is compact, but not at all mighty. I turned off the TV and am trying to stream music on low volume right now via Bluetooth from my phone on Spotify, and for a while there was a sound like a vinyl record crackling. I've only had this speaker for one day, so I am not giving up yet. But between the product description and reviews, it is quite a letdown so far. Edit-I gave it the 30-days and returned this. As I said previously, the sound was fine for a small bedroom as was the compact size. But I did not want to deal with a second remote just to control the volume and mute. It was a pain when I'm long used to just one cable remote. Additionally, the sound when turning on was a big issue. Unlike a TV or other soundbar, rather than being at the same volume level where you turned it off, the next time you turn it on, it is blasting! Not good at night. Also, there weren't enough volume levels, particularly at the low end. I sometimes wanted lower volume, but it went to a low to silent with nothing in-between. I did not care for any of the features. I bought a different sound bar of a different brand that connects via HDMI and volume can be controlled fully with the cable remote! Yay! Just need the sound bar remote to tweak the EQ and a couple other features.

This is exactly what I had hoped it would be for the price paid. Please note that my 5 star review is based on it being an extremely affordable soundbar. It's not high end - but it wasn't supposed to be. I recently upgraded to a 45" ultra-wide display for my office. I kept my older monitor and plugged in an Android TV box so I could watch the news while working. But like most monitors, it has no speaker. Enter the Majestic sound bar. For around $40, it plays sound over optical, headphone audio jack, USB, or bluetooth. It's just 15", which makes it a good fit on a smaller desk (or kid's room). I had read reviews of several similarly priced units and found the Majestic to be a better fit, for several reasons: 1) Many of the budget soundbars in this category have built in USB and analog audio cables. Which means if something happens to the cable, it's not easily replaced. 2) Many of the others had all ports on the sides (meaning you're more likely to see cable clutter on your desk or dresser). This one has power, USB, and optical audio ports in the back. Unfortunately, the headphone jack is on the right, but it conveniently comes with a right-angle cable which helps. 3) This works fine with my Onn 4K Streaming Pro's remote, so I can turn it on/off, mute, and control volume via remote control. Several other competitors don't seem to work well (or at all) with Universal Remotes, and some flat out say it can't be controlled this way in the product description. 4) Three year warranty offered, along with lifetime technical support. I can't comment on how good the support is, not having needed it, but at face value, that sounds great. Negatives? 1) This is not a very sonically impressive soundbar. Just fine for watching the news, or TV shows, but I'd find a different device to play high fidelity music. 2) No HDMI support, but again, that's hardly a negative at this price point. For my use case, it's irrelevant, but it is a notable item if that's important to you. 3) The remote has three buttons to tune the sound - flat, rock, and jazz. If they actually do anything to the sound, I sure can't tell.

This sound bar is exactly what I was looking for. I have it hooked up to a computer monitor that doesn't have built in speakers. I use this monitor mostly with a Roku stick to have a tv in my office. I love that the speaker has different ways to connect it. For my main use I have to have it connected by cord to the AUX port but I can also connect it to my computer via bluetooth or other devices via USB. It's also easy to move around so if I want to use it with another device in a different room, it's simple to do. It's attractive in that it's understated and blends in well. The remote works well if it has a clear line of sight but I often have things in front of it and sometimes have to hold the remote at different angles to get it to respond. I like that it stays on a long time before automatically shutting off. The last speaker I had would shut off after about 10 minutes so if I paused a show for a few minutes I'd have to boot it back up and reset the volume and it was a hassle. I do wish this one would keep the same volume level when it turns on again but it's only a small inconvenience. The sound quality is fine, but not great. I probably wouldn't use it as a main way to listen to music as a focal point but for having background noise (which is mostly what my tv is for) it's perfectly fine.
