Works great

I’ve had my soundbar for a couple weeks now and overall I’m very impressed. It’s perfect for the size room I have it in. And for such a small sub, it really has a lot of kick to it. The dialogue on some movies is a little quiet compared to the action sounds even after playing with the various settings but that’s probably more from the sound mix on the disc not the soundbar. The only other small complaint is the included optical cable didn’t work but I had spares so it didn’t become a big issue.

Don't use with New Samsung TV's

Works when it wants to. I have a brand-new Samsung TV and I use this sound bar or let me re-phrase that try to use this sound bar, what a nightmare, no matter how you hook it up whether it be optical, Wi-Fi or whatever, once you turn off the TV and the sound bar turns off you are right back to square 1 again. the TV does not recognize the sound bar and you have to go into settings and readjust everything to get it to work again every time, sooooo, I stopped using the sound bar completely. A waste of my money. I forgot to mention even when you pair, it still does the same thing. I'm done with it.

Impressed with easy setup!

Just set system up so I can’t say too much about it yet, except I want to compliment you on the following: 1. Easy set up! 2. Impressive packaging! 3. You provided every cable and cord I could possibly need! 4. Everything cord and cable was legibly labeled. 5. The instructions were well-written. Thank you! 1. Very carefully packaged.

Amazing sound and features at a Great Price

I have tried so many sound bar systems, some great, some good, some very disappointing. A handful that I liked very much had issues or stopped working surprisingly quickly. Really?!!!! I'll admit that I was reluctant to try this one and "be happy", but you know what..... Its pretty amazing given the price point, and with the included surround satellite speakers, doesn't rely on expensive tech or marketing gimmicks to get the DTS-X surround effect for shows and movies. Works great for Music too! It may not carry the big name, hype, or designer looks that some others do, but it works good, and that's what it really comes down to! Thank you Vizio!

Great out of the box!

This was really plug and play: HDMI and power connected to the bar. Power and the left and right speaker connect to the sub woofer and set input to HDMI on the remote and all was done. Full integration with my Samsung TV (power and volume). Haven't seen a need to change the factory settings so all took less than 5 minutes.The system has a full sound. The front system limited by its size also limits the channel separation. Obviously that only can be achieved with separate loose speakers.The hardware what came with the unit was complete: no running to the store buying more cables.Haven't figured out how to use the USB port. Hooked up a music stick to the port as indicated in the manual and set the input on the remote to USB, expecting to use the system as a MP3 player. Like to understand how that suppose to work.. All in all a good system, no tuner/amplifier and cables for the rear speaker running all over the room needed. The big JBL/Yamaha system requiring all that stuff (and probably somewhat better sound) will stay in the box for now. This Vizio system delivers as expected and meets my needs.

Perfect fo Master Bedroom

This was perfect for my intended space. Set-up was painless and was impressed by the quality of sound. Just worked out of the box. If you knew me and my luck you'd realize what a rarity that is.. I'm like a doom magnet for electronics. Very pleased so far!

Easy set up...awesome sound bar!

I just bought this today and am already enjoying it! The set up was VERY easy with its clear instructions and color coordination. Sound sounds good! The only reason for 4/5 stars is because I've only had it for a couple hours, so I don't know if it's "excellent" yet! So far, so good!

Drops Bluetooth connection Constantly

I've had this product for about a year now and it's a major disappointment compared to my previous vizio purchase. The sound is very flat and the bluetooth connection drops serveral times a day sometimes. It wouldnt be so bad if I didnt have to unplug the soundbar every time

Good Soundbar System - Good Setup Manual

Just set up this soundbar for a smart TV. Previously have had a receiver, separate speakers, subwoofer, etc. - all the traditional gear! I never could get my higher end receiver to work well with the Android TV, plus my wife and I always had trouble hearing dialogue clearly. So . . . I said "Let's try a soundbar". My hunch paid off - for a reasonable $ amount, I now have a sound system that was super easy to set up, and the sound output is superior to all the other stuff I used to have. I can hear dialogue perfectly, and the overall sound is rich and full. Perhaps most importantly, the Setup and User manual is VERY well written. It explains everything so that you can understand it. What a great overall experience!

Excellent sound, nice features, good build quality

I really like this sound bar. It sounds great, supports a ton of connections, and feels really solid. One unique approach is how it leverages existing voice assistant-enabled (VA) devices - instead of building support into the sound bar for a specific voice assistant, you can easily link to a smart assistant device via a cable or Bluetooth and get sound through the soundbar's speakers. That seems like a good balance to avoid having yet another smart speaker to support.
