Fire TV Soundbar, 2.0 speaker with DTS Virtual:X and Dolby Audio, Bluetooth support

I was looking for a new soundbar and always had a eye on the Fire TV Soundbar, I jumped at the opportunity to buy one once it was released in the UK. The setup is an absolute breeze, just plug in the power supply and then connect the soundbar to your HDMI ARC port using the included HDMI cable, from there you are pretty much done! Don't be put off by it's size, it can pack quite a punch. Although it doesn't support Dolby Atmos that isn't really a surprise given the price, and the supported DTS Virtual:X has no problem filling my living room, the bass is deep and rich, which speech is clear and crisp! The included remote allows you to toggle surround sound, select an EQ (speech, music or movie) and select three different levels of bass. It also has a button to put the soundbar into pairing mode so you can connect your phone via Bluetooth. I cannot fault this soundbar and I highly recommend it especially at this price! It would have been nice if the soundbar itself had an additional HDMI port, given that connecting it via HDMI means you'll lose a port on your TV, however this is easier overcome with a cheap HDMI splitter, and again, for the price I paid, I cannot complain.

Very good build quality, easy connection to tv. Sound quality is decent, for the price and importantly via the eq and bass setting it is tuneable to your preference. Voice is well produced, mids are relatively smooth but controlled, bass is decent enough to present sufficient depth. Most importantly is a pleasant and non fatiguing sound in tv, movies and music. To prevent auto power off don’t mute your tv, just turn volume to 1 and unit will stay on, on mute it will turn off after a few mins, power button brings it back to life and it resyncs with to tv no problem. Great product for the price, better than other £100 sound bars I have heard.

First of all, the sound quality is great. Very deep and rich Bass, clear mids and trebles and the option to switch between modes (movie, dialogue and sports I think) is a nice feature. I have paired this with the Firestick on my TV via Bluetooth which was easy to do. There is no delay between picture and sound at all, and it also means you can control everything including the soundbar volume with your Firestick remote. If you need to use the Soundbar remote, it is good and very small. I only gave it 4 stars because: In Bluetooth mode it drops the connection if it doesn't receive a signal, so if you're watching a film and pause it for say 5 minutes, you press play again and the sound comes out the TV because the Soundbar has switched off. There is no good reason to do this if it is plugged in via power cable. I could not find any setting to prevent this. Secondly the volume increments are far too extreme. Level 1 you can hardly hear. 2 - 3 is a massive jump in volume so you could do with at least 2 more levels in between which you can't seem to adjust in the very limited settings. 4 is the loudest I've had it and is the sort of volume you'd watch a movie on if there's no-one to disturb. Quite why it then goes from 5-10 is a mystery, as that's the sort of volume where neighbours would complain. I had to go into Firestick>Bluetooth devices>volume increments and change it to 10(max) - it is just about acceptable but you still find that sometimes level 3 is too quiet and 4 is far too loud. I have yet to connect it via HDMI - hopefully when I do it will not keep powering off when it doesn't detect a signal. I also hope this might correct the volume increment issue but I don't think it will. It does seem strange that it is set so high with almost no flexibility down low at normal listening levels.

Initial thoughts having just set up my new soundbar. Installation was simple, power and HDMI ports are clearly labelled and the included cable was hooked up to the ARC HDMI port on the TV, so my TV remote controls the volume. Sound quality is very good for the £87 I paid on a prime day deal. There are three sound modes Dialogue, Sport and Movie and three levels of bass. I found voices crisp on all three sound modes which is often an issue for cheaper soundbars, I eventually settled on the medium bass setting as the best fit for my ears. Remote is easy to use but I’d keep the instructions handy so you know what the light combinations on the display mean. Pleasantly surprised at the quality for a sub £100 soundbar, no it doesn’t have the bass of a system with a separate sub woofer but for a smaller room or bedroom I’d definitely recommend it.

I have several Fire sticks and used a sky box in my sitting room which was connected through blue tooth. As anyone in the same position knows, there's a lag on blue tooth, which you can resolve by using VLC player. This promised quality and ease of use. Neither sadly is the case. I connected the speaker to the ARC input on my TV, a sony bravia 55', fairly new, and moved the the Fire Cube to another HMDI port. For the first reboots of the TV, there was no response from the speaker and the TV speakers kicked in. I shuffled the HDMI connections around several time and eventually the Fire TV soundbar connected. I was thrilled, until I heard the quality of the speaker. My old Sky box was at least as good if not better. As my TV is built into the wall and all the connections are accessed through a tiny hatch I felt it had been a total waste of effort to get this speeker working, never mind no improvement in quality of sound. If you only use the speakers built into your TV, this might be an improvement, otherwise I doubt it will make any improvement to a sound system you currently use. Pros . small form factor Cons . unless it is actually a Fire TV, not a TV with fire stick or Fire cube connected TV, not as easy to set up as advertised. only three EQ settings, little control over the sound output, which all sound the same. was unable to connect this soundbar on Bluetooth. kept disconnecting for some reason.

I bought this to go with a Fire TV which isn’t arriving until tomorrow for another room, so I thought I’d test it on my Hisense TV. It connected with it effortlessly and picked up the TVs remote immediately for operating it too. The sound quality is, to my ears, utterly brilliant and the build quality of the unit is equally impressive. I paired it with my iPad via Bluetooth again with no effort at all and as I write this am listening to Mark Knopfler singing Marbletown. Once again to my ears it’s perfect and the dedicated little remote which came with it operates the whole thing including track selection perfectly. To an old man brought up listening to the BBC light programme a million years ago on a Redifusion wired box on the wall this technology is nothing short of black magic. If I could give it more stars I would, absolutely brilliant in every respect.

My new smart TV has tiny sound on it. I plugged this soundbar in and now the TV sound is very impressive and the voices of people talking are now very clear. My smart TV controls it as soon as I switch the TV on via the HDMI cable, I only need the soundbar remote if I pause what I'm watching for ten minutes, the soundbar switches off. It's easy to get it working again, I switch on the soundbar and press the bottom left button until it a voice says "HDMI". I've tested different things to see how the soundbar sounded. News on TV is very clear. Films, especially action films, are amazing. I got the soundbar as the sound from the TV was all merged together and I struggled to hear voices whenever any other noise was merged with it like music, background noises etc. I now only use subtitles for foreign films, no longer on for everything.

Good and easy to use. The sound quality is not amazing but definitely good for the price. Overall, good purchase and good value for money. Easy to setup with the Amazon tv.

Die Amazon Fire TV Soundbar ist ein beeindruckendes Stück Technik, das eine erstaunliche Klangqualität zu einem erschwinglichen Preis bietet. Nachdem ich das System nun einige Stunden ausprobiert habe, kann ich voller Überzeugung sagen, dass es meine Erwartungen übertroffen hat. Klangqualität und Features: Die Soundbar ist mit DTS Virtual und Dolby Audio ausgestattet, was für ein immersives Audioerlebnis sorgt, das man normalerweise nur von teureren Systemen erwartet. Die Klangtiefe und -klarheit sind beeindruckend, und die Soundbar füllt den Raum mit einem reichen, vollständigen Klang, der sowohl bei Filmen als auch beim Musikgenuss zur Geltung kommt. Preis-Leistung: Angesichts des Preispunkts ist die Amazon Fire TV Soundbar ein echtes Schnäppchen. Sie bietet solide Leistung, die, obwohl sie vielleicht nicht mit teuren High-End-Systemen wie von Sonos oder Teufel mithalten kann, dennoch für die meisten Heimkinoliebhaber mehr als ausreichend ist. Der Klang ist dynamisch und die zusätzlichen Features wie Bluetooth-Unterstützung bieten eine tolle Flexibilität. Installation und Bedienung: Ein weiterer großer Vorteil dieser Soundbar ist die einfache Installation und Montage. Die Einrichtung war unkompliziert, und innerhalb weniger Minuten war das System betriebsbereit. Die Integration in mein bestehendes System (Fire TV 55" QLED) verlief reibungslos (Einstecken, auf HDMI umstellen, fertig), und die Bedienung über die vorhandene Fernbedienung ist intuitiv. Es sind ein paar Einstellungen möglich (Sound auf Dialog, Film, Music optimieren), verschiedene Basseinstellungen, Equalizer, dazu die Möglichkeit den Surroundsound zu aktivieren, oder gleichmäßig von vorne beschallt zu werden). Fazit: Die Amazon Fire TV Soundbar ist eine ausgezeichnete Wahl für jeden, der sein Audioerlebnis verbessern möchte, ohne dabei ein Vermögen ausgeben zu müssen. Sie bietet eine wirklich ordentliche Klangqualität, die den Alltag zu Hause, sei es bei der Filmnacht oder beim entspannten Musikhören, bereichert. Ich bin mit meinem Kauf sehr zufrieden und kann dieses Produkt jedem empfehlen, der nach einem zuverlässigen, leistungsstarken und preisgünstigen Audio-Upgrade sucht.

Io l’ho comprata perché l’audio della TV era scarso e subito si sente la differenza: voci chiare e volume migliore. Si collega facilmente con HDMI e si integra benissimo con la Fire TV Stick. Si può anche usare il Bluetooth per collegarla ad altri dispositivi. Compatta, semplice e fa il suo lavoro. Io sono soddisfatto!

Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Sehr günstig und trotzdem direkt einen sehr guter Klang gehabt ohne etwas eingestellt zu haben

L'apparecchio è decisamente ben costruito e restituisce una piacevole sensazione di solidità, oltretutto è piuttosto pesante e, grazie ai piedini gommati, non scivola. Il suono è buono, lineare, però io l'ho comperato perchè, durante la visione dei film, ho difficoltà ad udire il parlato, forse per colpa dell'audio digitale. Così sono stato costretto ad effettuare il reso.

Ottimo prodotto abbinato perfettamente con firestik . Suono pulito e avvolgente con regolazione bassi e altre come perfezionare la voce . Consiglio . Usata per video proiettore in camera , fa il suo dovere . Avendo già una bose 700 7.1 devo dire che questa versione Amazon se la cava direi molto bene . Per far capire meglio : ha più qualità sonora e potenza della solobose . La versione piccola della casa bose , ma costa molto meno .
