This looks like a rebadged TCL S55H. If it sounds anything like it than its a great deal honestly, otherwise I'd just get the TCL for $100.

Wish there was an easy way to tell, BB does not to appear to publish power numbers for their soundbar while TCL does. What if it's the same enclosures with inferior drivers and amplification? From outside appearance, the only published difference is DTSX Vs Atmos on the more expensive unit.

Edit: Tried looking into this a little bit more last night. Both seem to share the same form factor, but the TCL has a touch interface while the Insignia has physical buttons. Externally the subwoofers appear to be identical and look to be using the same driver. Not clear if the amp inside is different. From what I gather, TCL sub weighs 6.75 lbs while the Insignia is 6.61 lbs.

Looking at the rear of each subwoofer, the cutout for the electronics on the Insignia looks considerably smaller than the TCL. This may imply the TCL has a beefier amplification package (plate amp) for the same driver.
