If the soundbar I want to use requires a bluetooth tv, what can I do to make my tv bluetooth enabled? I am trying to go cheap here and not have to get a new tv. Also, will this soundbar work with my Xbox One?

What soundbar? And most soundbars don't use bluetooth to hookup to the TV. they use HDMI or optical. bluetooth is just an option to stream from a phone or something to a soundbar, not for the main connection to the tv.

A Bluetooth sound bar is so you can link your portable device to it (iPhone, Tablet, laptop....) Most of them have more than one type of input. The most common is RCA and/or 3.5 jack. Without knowing the model you are looking at no one can say for sure.

Basically I can use any soundbar. I just want to be able to have better sound through my Xbox One console. I prefer it to be an Insignia brand one though.

Specifically, this is the model I am looking at.

included is "RCA audio cable, 3.5mm audio cable" so this is how you will have to hook up your TV. This will only work if your TV also has audio out either RCA or 3.5 headphone jack. Xbox will have to go to tv then tv to sound bar.
