A soundbar is one of the easiest ways to boost the audio performance of your TV setup without introducing a load of wires into your room or needing to find ways to position a suite of surround sound speakers. As good as modern TVs are on the picture front, their slim designs often means they lack the space to deliver any real audio impact. That's why external speakers and soundbars are very handy to have.

As a two channel soundbar, the Insignia 2.0 isn't going to offer the most detailed and immersive audio. But at under $50 it offers a very affordable way to get started and upgrade the audio power of your TV.

There are no satellite speakers or subwoofers on offer here, but that means the Insignia 2.0 should be easy to set up and shouldn’t need too much space to kick out its sound. Add it to one of our picks for the best TVs and you could have a very nice entry-level entertainment setup to see you into the holiday season.
