Our take on the Emerson 42 TV Soundbar With Bluetooth

The Emerson 42 TV Soundbar is a 2.0-channel bar rated at 20 watts total, with Bluetooth 5.0, optical and RCA inputs, and a remote. It is a basic upgrade over built-in TV speakers for small rooms and casual viewing. It has no subwoofer and no HDMI, so it lacks the bass and one-cable ARC hookup that rival bars at the next step up offer. Buyers who want clear dialogue in a bedroom or secondary TV will find it adequate; anyone wanting home-theater punch should look at a bar with a wireless sub.

Questions and answers

Does this soundbar have a subwoofer?
No. It is a 2.0-channel bar with no separate subwoofer, so bass is limited. A bar with a wireless sub will give much deeper low end.
Can I connect it to my TV with HDMI?
No. It offers optical S/PDIF and RCA inputs only, so you will use the TV's optical output or RCA outputs.
Can I stream music to it from my phone?
Yes. It has Bluetooth 5.0, so you can pair a phone or tablet and play audio wirelessly.
Is 20 watts enough for a living room?
For a small room or close listening, yes. For a large living room or loud movie watching, it will run short on volume and bass.
Does it come with a remote?
Yes. A remote control is included for power, volume and input selection.
Is it good for movies or just TV?
It handles dialogue well, but without a subwoofer or surround processing it is better for TV, news and casual viewing than action movies.
