Solid soundbar with minor flaws
I'm actually used to better from Teufel. Especially when it comes to Bluetooth, any Ugreen 30fr Bluetooth 5.0 APTX dongle does a better job than this 300Fr soundbar. Even worse, the USB/PC mode occupies the Bluetooth button. So you can't run Bluetooth and the PC at the same time. I have an iPad, an iPhone and Macbook. These can't be used via Bluetooth at the same time either. But as long as you work with Toslink, the soundbar is great. The remote control is also a joke, you can only control the soundbar with it, but this is pretty stupid if you sit directly in front of it. Also, the remote control doesn't use Bluetooth, so you still have to turn your arm to point at the soundbar directly in front of you.
Pro
- Seems to be the best compact soundbar for the PC
- Fits under the monitor
- Pretty good sound
- TOSLINK
- 3.5mm
- Not extremely wide, therefore fits exactly between the monitor legs
Contra
- Bluetooth is unusable
- HDMI Did not go clean either
- The remote control is a farce.

Super product - but only as long as it runs
Customer service Teufel Company
At the beginning of the year I ordered Teufel's Cinebar One directly from Teufel and was very satisfied with it. A few weeks ago, however, it stopped working and I got in touch with a description of the symptoms, etc.
Three days later, I received the automatic reply "We would like to apologise very much ... We are currently receiving an unusually high number of enquiries."
In the meantime 11 days have passed and I have heard NOTHING!
Teufel advertises their products a lot and wants to boost sales - but apparently they save on the quality of the products, or on the number of customer service staff, or both. Not good advertising for the company and its products!Pro
- Sound top
- Installation simple
- Bluetooth on/off switchable
- HDMI with TV works perfectly
- Switches on/off automatically via HDMI
- Remote control from the TV
Contra
- DEVIL CUSTOMER SERVICE IS DISASTROUS!
Can be used as a mini cinebar for flat-screen TVs with poor sound.
Pro
- Connection possibility
- Sound setting

A devil good for all PC systems I recommend it.
Now I can comment on Teufel Cinebar One Single.
I have been a Teufel customer for years and have had very good experiences with their products.
The device works very well overall. The AUX (3.5mm jack), USB, OPT and Bluetooth inputs are fine and provide excellent sound quality.
Starting with the AUX input my first choice, you should adjust the volume on the unit to avoid/suppress possible noise. Volume control from the audio is best done via PC or the relevant app. The sound quality is excellent.
The USB input works flawlessly, but some apps are muted. However, this is not a problem with the device itself. My system is Linux and there is much to be done beyond this review.
Bluetooth connectivity is a good option. Clear and high quality sound. But for me, it's not an option because Linux doesn't automatically connect when you start the OS, you have to do it manually each time.
The OPT (S/PDIF TOSLINK) input is the best solution for my system. The sound is clear and of very high quality, and the setting remains after a restart of the OS.
I couldn't test the HDMI input because I don't have it on my PC.
All in all, the Cinebar One Single is a very good choice for a PC with the possibility of adding a subwoofer to it. I don't see the need for it at the moment. The bass is adequate and the built in surround sound can be turned on and off via the remote along with other features (EQ).
The price I leave to your evaluation, probably, you will find other alternative but a devil is not to be underestimated.Pro
- Multiple audio inputs
- Remote control available
- Available EQ functions
- Elegant and modern design
- Optimal for upgrading a Linux system (LM20.2).
Contra
- Nothing
