Third-party reviews

What customers like about Amazon Fire TV Soundbar

  • Significantly better audio quality than standard built-in TV speakers
  • Quick and easy setup with plug-and-play HDMI eARC/ARC connectivity
  • Compact 24-inch design fits easily in small rooms and under smaller TVs
  • Good dialogue clarity, especially with the dedicated Dialogue Enhancer mode
  • Includes a remote and wall-mounting kit in the box
  • Frequent sales and discounts make it a strong value-for-money option

What customers don't like about Amazon Fire TV Soundbar

  • Confusing branding: contains no built-in Fire TV streaming or Alexa smart features
  • Weak bass performance due to the lack of a dedicated or built-in subwoofer
  • Narrow soundstage with limited stereo separation, especially in larger rooms
  • Audio can become thin, tinny, or distorted at high volume levels
  • Voice prompts for settings can be loud and disruptive
  • Does not support Alexa Home Cinema for wireless pairing with other Echo speakers

Verdict

The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar is a compact 2.0-channel audio system measuring approximately 61 cm (24 inches) in length, delivering a total output of 40W through dual 20W speakers. It features support for Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X to simulate three-dimensional surround sound, along with three EQ presets (Movie, Music, and Dialogue) and adjustable bass levels. Connectivity is handled via HDMI eARC/ARC, optical input, and Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless streaming. Its main pros include an extremely simple setup, a space-saving design ideal for smaller TVs, and clear dialogue enhancement that noticeably improves upon standard budget TV speakers. However, notable cons include its lack of a built-in Fire TV streaming interface or Alexa voice assistant, the absence of an integrated or expandable subwoofer for deep bass, and potential audio distortion when pushed to maximum volume.
