Our Verdict

Insignia NS-HSB318 2.0

BOMAKER Odine II

The Insignia NS-HSB318 2.0 is a better overall performing soundbar than the BOMAKER Odine II. While both soundbars are very similar in terms of build quality and downsampling audio formats into PCM, the Insignia is able to produce a bit more bass, and it has a Bass Boost feature, which is a nice touch. In comparison, the BOMAKER has more inputs as well as a virtual surround feature.
