F&D E200 3W 2.0 Channel Wired Soundbar (Black) | USB Powered | Wired Desktop Speakers | Extra Bass | Speaker for Laptop & PC | Home Theatre | Mobile Connectivity | Perfect for Gamers & Party/Function

Before this purchase I was not aware about F&D. I was looking for a decent speaker that will suit my purpose of watching lectures, discussions, drama, classic movies and songs. I was previously using Creative 2.1 speakers SBS A235, which delivers good crisp sound with adequate bass. But it occupies lots of space and lots of wires to tangle around that also gather cob web.As per my requirement bass was not essential, rather a crisp clear sound was my primary need. And I was looking for a low cost decent speaker that occupies little space. This F&D E 200 fulfils all of my requirements. It costs ~ 950/-. It's slim but rugged in construction. It has two speakers with crisp clear sound. Additionally, it has two acoustic bass springs (passive bass) that enhance bass effect in sound. It has metallic speaker grill in front (see photo). Speakers those come with grill can diffuse sound more effectively, So, sound from speakers fills room more effectively and is less directional in nature. So you don't need to sit at a specific location for best sound experience, which is great. Although the total output RMS power is 3 watts only, (which is characteristics of USB speakers; as USB can deliver only 4.5 watts max for USB 3.0 and 2.5 watts max for USB 2.0) the speaker is sufficiently powerful to fill a 10ft x10ft room. I found ~ 50% vol is sufficient for personal listening. The soundbar needs 5V,1A power source. So I have attached a 5V,1A old smartphone adaptor for USB power, but CPU USB ports can be used too. The quality of 3.5 mm jack wire and USB power cord feels good. The vol regulator has a red LED indicator to indicate power. But vol regulator has no marking on it. So, I have marked it (see photo).After using it for few days, I can say it is a great speaker/soundbar to consider at its price point. It has crisp clear sound. It has bass too. But certainly not suitable for heavy bass, rock, jazz, metallic, hip-hop etc. You can't expect that from a sub 1000/- speakers.My suggestion is go for it if you are not an audiophile. About durability I can't say anything now, I will update after using it for few months.Update: after using it for few weeks, it is working very well, and sound quality is still good.

Good sound bar, crestal clear sound quality,

The sound quality on the VU 43 inch budget tv was so poor that I processed a return on Flipkart however I don’t really expect them to process the return . The picture quality is ok and only sound was the problem as it was not clear enough to understand spoken words on many channels .So I bought this product to get a budget correction to my decision to buy a budget product .PositivesThe USB power is connected to the USB port at the back of the TV .so the device turns on when I put on the tv and turns off when I put the tv off . The power from the tv seems adequate to power the device as it only needs 5amps .no un necessary clutter of wires as it’s hidden behind the tv .the negative is that I have used up the only USB port on the tv to perpetually support the sound improvement . But with the fire tv . Amazon prime , Netflix and the silk browser on fire tv I don’t have a need to use the USB Any more so it’s not a loss for me but if you frequently use ur USB port and there is only one this method of using the back tv port will not work for you for power . If you connect through a wall socket with a adaptor the unit will always stay on as well u will have to manually switch of the device by turning power off .Sound .Given how crap the speakers on the tv were this is a huge improvement . The sound has become audible on all channels and is loud enough and much more clear . So a huge improvement in my view . So totally worth the little cost of this speaker .This review is after a half day of listening . I don’t think I need to return the tv anymore as my only issue was sound . Hope this review helps you if you are having a sound problem. For me this device in today’s world cost nothing it was more a experiment to my budget tv experiment .but am happy it worked .

For the price this is a good product. But the picture made me feel it was a much bigger system, which is not the case. However, I have been using this for some time now & I will try to put my observations here:Pros:- Looks compact, stylish- The side dial - with back light, makes it look really a charmer- Sound quality is "ok"- Don't expect too much from 3W output - which throws around 96db sound (60db = normal conversation)- I used it with Laptop & also with a mini projector, with "ok" performance (i.e. if you have a quiet room, it will do a good job)Cons:- It may look like a big one, but it is around 17''- As mentioned before, don't expect too much from itSummary:- If you are looking for an external speaker for your laptop, this will do a nice job, with a stylish look- At this price point, it is definitely a good buy! Go for it!BTW, if this review was useful - please like it. :)
