Great replacement for my V2

This is a great replacement for A V2. The larger size is well worth it for the sound improvement. Impressed with how well the sphere fits in to any decor and the white stays clean.

I’ve got V2,V3 and now V4. Each one better than the previous. Initially wasn’t sure about the spherical design, but it’s now my favorite. I will say the puck style is my preference if You need to use the buttons. V4 sounds the best even though I don’t use them as speakers but it can pass if required. The improved sound is worth the larger footprint.

Love these large multi outlet power strips for home theater and desk use. The various plug orientations help get different power supplies all plugged in. The USB plugs also help eliminate a power supply or two. Great holiday sale value

Quickly put the second one to use
on January 15, 2022
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Initially didn't think this was 'for me'. Now that I've use it it's grown on me. We have numerous Alex devices in the house and fits right in. Ended up using it for a covid sick family member to communicate while quarantined; we could easily talk as well as 'have meals together'. Also, like being able to view the Wi-Fi camers around the house and see who's at the door.

Nicer presentation than sitting on the counter

Nicely sits the show above the counter with some tilt flexibility, especially nice in the kitchen. Gen1 and Gen2 stand are nearly identical in interchange.

New Alexa addition
on January 15, 2022
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was not a present I thought about receiving until I got it. We have Alexa throughout the house, and this is a nice addition. It works great with the cameras to see the front & back door or around the house. Great in the kitchen to pull up recipes too. Finding more uses for the touch screen and viewing options.

Great little speaker with impressive sound. Take it anywhere with waterproof/dustproof feature. Bought the first for my daughter to take to school and again for my second daughter. Good battery life and Bluetooth range. Can't beat it for its size, sound and price.

A Hidden Gem

Verified Purchase:Yes
Okay, these are not a high-end fancy headset, but they are great for the price. Purchased them for my daughter who initially didn't want them until she tried them out. The adapter with game/chat volume controls is a bonus. Seem to be comfortable to were for extended periods, sound good and mic neatly tucks away.

If your home theater system could use a boost, look no further than the Insignia NS-HTSB22 2.0-Channel Soundbar. This dual-channel system amplifies your TV~s existing audio and boosts your TV or music-listening experience. The soundbar provides multiple hookup options, including HDMI, Digital Optical, 3.5 mm AUX and USB. Or use Bluetooth to wirelessly sync your soundbar to another Bluetooth-enabled device.

It~s wall mountable and includes all the hardware necessary, plus both an optical cable and 3.5 mm cable, meaning you can set up this soundbar right out of the box.

Great improvement over TV speakers
on January 15, 2022
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this for my bedroom TV. The sound is very good for its price point and X-Mas sale price made it irresistible. Easy set up and TV controls volume with HDMI-ARC so no fiddling with additional remote. The hardware package makes wall mounting simple too. The soundbar does very well for what it is, don't compare it to a 5.1+ system or a high-end sound bar because there's a difference in price and sound quality.

Why doesn't the soundbar turn off with Pioneer Xumo connected to eARC HDMI? Set up per instruction settings 3 times; doesn't go into standby when TV is turned off (white light stays on. The same sound bar turns off w/ Insignia TV connected in same manor.

Toshiba~s V35 series sets up a stunning, heart-shaking, smart world for your relaxing viewing experience, thanks to the consistent innovation of advanced technologies. True-to-life images jump off the screen with amazing HD resolution, ultimately beauty of details, and original natural color. For a more immersive audio experience, a premium audio post-processing solution brings height to the entertainment experience that elevates surround sound formatting from DTS Virtual:X.
Is the power to the USB ports always on? Is there a way to switch the power on/off when the TV is turned on/off? I can't find anything in the settings or set up. I want to turn a LED light strip, used for bias lighting, on/off with TV power.

Does the probe have to be inserted all the way? I already have a MEATER probe, but it is too long for smaller cuts of meat, or even too long to insert in hamburger patty.
