Title

We rented a cabin recently that had one of these in their theater room. I was so surprised when I heard the fullness and clarity it put out. Due to the way the left and right speakers are placed on the soundbar, you actually get stereo separation! The bass and subwoofer sealed the deal. Action packed movies and streaming music sound great! We use the 1/8" audio input jack. Hookup and control are easy peasy. It comes with a nice remote control and the ability to change the equalization! I definitely recommend this especially because of the price.

I bought this sound bar made by Vizio because I own a vizio smart tv which had an internal speaker blown. Thought I’d have to buy a new tv but when I found this it was a blessing. With a AC plug and an optic cord connector it was a snap to turn on and my sound is just wonderful. Perfect solution!

I got this for the TV in my gaming room/spare bedroom, paired with a 40" Sony TV. I want to say right off the bat that this soundbar is at least 2 years old, and I believe it has since technically been replaced by the Vizio M Series All-In-One soundbar for only about $30 more so If you want the latest and greatest, go with that one. The newer one also had HDMI-ARC, while the best connection on this one is Optical. The reason I went with this one regardless is that it is easier to mesh with my Logitech Harmony Hub. Most newer Vizio soundbars use a small LCD screen with menus on the remote to change a lot of the settings, so I would still need the original remote, defeating the point of the Harmony Hub. I also like the design on this one a lot better too, it looks very sci-fi tech with the slanted sides and triangular bass vents on either end, but it's not distracting or gaudy either. I didn't want to spend a lot, because I use a wireless headset much of the time, but didn't want anything that sounded like junk either. Whew boy, this thing actually surprised me! It has "built in" subwoofers, and it really does bring on the bass! I have no desire for a standalone subwoofer with this. Also, a separate sub on the floor or near a wall has a chance of projecting the "thumping" sound through walls or other structure and disturbing people in other rooms. I can turn this bar up to a pleasing volume and it doesn't bleed into any other rooms of the house. I didn't have any of the problem some other people were mentioning about volume steps being too far apart and having to settle for either too loud or too quiet, it's been granular enough for me to find the perfect volume, anyway. Maybe since I bought this so long after release it has a newer firmware pre-installed that addressed that or something. The DTS Virtual-X surround mode is really convincing, at least in my situation in an approximately 120 sq. ft. room, and sitting about 5 feet from the TV with the bar on the TV stand at about chest level. The soundstage is really wide, and directional audio is clear. I even detect sounds coming from behind, very nice for positioning in a videogame. Tested it a lot on Apex Legends, a game I've been addicted to as of late, and I'm pretty sure the positional audio saved my butt on a number of occasions, hearing players try to sneak up behind me. I know it's all science and physics, but it really does seem like magic. I really don't know how they get this kind of precise 3D audio out of what's just a stereo signal being fed to it. I don't detect much if any overhead audio, which I think DTS-X is supports, but that's not that important to me. Tru-Volume however I don't like. At first it seems to balance the volume of everything as intended, so you don't get blasted by commercials that are much louder than the show for example, but it also really compresses the dynamic range, and it makes weird adjustments to stuff that is supposed to be louder than everything else. For example when an explosion goes off it also lowers the volume of everything else too, which sounds unnatural. I leave it off and am content to quickly adjust the volume manually if something gets way louder or softer. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this soundbar, especially for the price! Like I said the newer M Series bar might sound better and have more features, but for my use this thing is perfect. I would definitely recommend it for a bedroom, dorm, or other small area where space might be at a premium.

Love this speaker.

excellent sound for a budget soundbar. Very happy with this purchase

Product looks nice and was easy to hook up however, it produces a rattle with every single beat which absolutely takes away from the listening experience. I believe my product came defective. Also, as another review said, the volume settings are wack. There is too big of a difference in the first 7 clicks which are the most used ones.EDIT: the seller replaced the device quickly. Indeed the first one received was defective and produced a rattle with every beat. New one does not produce rattle at all though it does seem like the bass is a little tight, it may just need to be burnt in.Edit 2: it stops working after a while. It does not recognize that it is plugged it. Then give it a few days and it will work again. Then suddenly it will make a weird noise and not recognize that it is plugged in. This seems to happen at the most inconvenient of times too....Edit3: Though music is not its forte (a good amount better than Samsung TV stock speaker but nowhere near close as good as a sound bar with a stand-alone sub), speaker sound quality when watching documentaries such as Our Planet is not bad at all and actually quite pleasant. I’d give this a final rating of 4/5.

With the accompanying optical cord the setup couldn’t have been simpler. And, for a larger than average bedroom, the sound truly fills the space quite well. And, while I don’t think I’ll hook up my iPhone all that often, the Bluetooth is a really nice touch. I highly recommend the product. It’s well worth the price.

Simple set-up: optical wire attached from soundbar into Vizio 4K TV, then plugging in power cord. Sound level rated 3-star vs. more expensive / complex TV sound systems; but noticeable improvement vs. sound from TV speakers. (Wish I had made this soundbar addition much sooner!)

Bought this for two reasons, 1) was for the sound was mid range combined into one unit. This way I don’t have to run any extra cords or have a wireless controlled subwoofer. 2) was so that it would work seamlessly with my Vizio TV which has smart cast in it and can be controlled by Alexa.The first was accurate! Great sound for the price, perfect for the size room we have and I totally agree with all the previous accolades. That is as far as the song goes.The second item however is considerably more disappointing. It turns out that I’m Visio sound bar is the only way you can control the unit through the TV is if it has an HDMI which makes it compatible with the HDMI controls are port 1 on the TV. As it turns out most of the smaller sound bar units that Visio megs do not have an HDMI port. Meaning that you have to spend well over $200 as well as run wires all over the place.I will now send this unit to the bedroom TV once I get a system that can be controlled with Alexa. I feel this is a major flaw in the design by Visio as they would sell many many many more units of this great little system.
