iLive 2.0 29" HD Soundbar vs Bluetooth Soundbar with LED Lights

Buy the iLive ITB037BO if this is going under a TV: it is 29 inches wide, wall-mountable with hardware included, and has optical, RCA and 3.5mm inputs plus a remote, so it works with a TV without extra adapters. Buy the 16-inch PC soundbar if you want a small speaker for a desk or laptop that can also run on its own battery for a few hours. Owners rate the iLive well at 4.3 from over 1,100 ratings; the PC soundbar has no meaningful track record, and its listing mixes Bluetooth and wired-only versions, so confirm which one you get.

  • Choose the iLive ITB037BO if you want a TV soundbar with optical and RCA inputs, a remote, and wall mounting.
  • Choose the PC soundbar if you need a compact, battery-powered speaker for a desk, laptop or gaming setup.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a TV?
The iLive. Its optical and RCA inputs connect straight to a TV, it is 29 inches wide to sit under the screen, and it comes with a remote. The PC soundbar only takes 3.5mm aux, USB or a card.
Which is better for a laptop or gaming desk?
The PC soundbar. At 16 inches it fits a desk, runs on its own battery for up to 5 hours, and adds lighting modes. The iLive needs a wall outlet and takes up TV-width space.
Which lasts longer?
The iLive has a longer record: 4.3 out of 5 from 1,112 ratings, with no battery to wear out. The PC soundbar has almost no owner history, and its lithium battery will fade with use.
Does the PC soundbar work with a TV?
Only through its 3.5mm aux input, if your TV has a headphone jack. There is no optical or RCA input, so many TVs will need an adapter.
Is the iLive worth stepping up to?
Yes if the speaker lives under a TV. You get optical and RCA inputs, a remote and wall mounting. Skip it if you need something portable or small.
Can I move the PC soundbar around?
Yes, on the Bluetooth version. The 2000mAh battery gives up to 5 hours, and it charges over USB. The wired version is aux only and stays plugged in.
