Decent audio!

I purchased and connected the Vizio 5.1 V-series sound bar to the HDMI-ARC port on my 11+ year old Samsung TV. It has made a huge difference in sound quality. It is very customizable to fit the listener's sound preferences. I hope it lasts as long as my TV has.

Great value for price point!

I can finally hear dialogue! Lots of settings to customize for your own taste. Subwoofer can be set to night mode so sleepers can sleep. Main speaker fits under TV so doesn't interfere with picture. Great sound and easy pairing with Samsung SmartTV. Easy set up all around. Very pleased.

It only lasted seven months, horrible warranty pro

Bought 6-18-22 and dead on 1-28-23 It comes with a one year warranty that forces you to buy another unit, get it shipped in then return the old one to manufacturer while they hold the $199.99 on your credit card. These have a huge problem of powering down and never returning to function. My complaint has been documented by hundreds of others across the internet. This item is not reliable at all! You’d expect more from a well known brand.

Great bang for the buck

Awesome sound system for the price. Bass can be a little overwhelming but for movies it's like being in the theater. Very adjustable so that can probably be toned down. Friends were over, heard it and now want the same system. This is set up in a large living room. Couldn't get the rear speakers in back of the seating without having the furniture in the middle of the room. So they are placed to the left and right. Setup was extremely easy and paired to my phone with no issues. Hooked to a 6900 series 65" Samsung via HDMI ARC cable. Very happy with it and would recommend to anyone wanting an impressive surround sound for under 200 bucks !!

Visio 5.1 sound bar

The Visio sound bar, subwoofer and rear speakers produce a rich, room filling sound. The system sets up easily and connects to the television through a HDMI ARC connection or a Digital Optical wire. It’s a nice compact system. Also has a handy Bluetooth capability.

Exactly what I wanted

Exactly what I wanted. Good sound quality for the price. Easy setup. I was able to install and configure the system the first time around with no issues! I was even able to connect the sound bar to a record player that was hooked up to my previous home theater system and it worked just fine.

Reboot solves every little issue.

Set up was fairly easy following attached instructions. After connecting Alexa to the Aux-VA port and an iPhone via bluetooth volume out of the soundbar dropped to extremely LOW levels, you could barely hear anything. A quick call to support solved the problem. Unplug the sound bar, hold the power button for 5 seconds, plug back in and turn on. All problems solved (go figure, a reboot solved everything!). Sound is awesone. The base is more than enough for my family room - rocks the entire house! Now it is just playing around with some settings to tweek it to perfection! I would recommend this sound bar to anyone.

Roll the dice!

Mine constantly loses connectivity with subwoofer/rear speakers. Sometimes goes days and sometimes will drop off 20 times during the span of an average movie. Updated firmware, but no change. I purchased 6+ months ago. When it works, it's great. When it doesn't, I've considered buying a different brand/system. I still have it, but I'm beginning to browse the market more often, especially when it starts dropping off.

Great system fir the money.

This is a great system for the money sounds great. I installed it to use with our Samsung 65”TV. Installation was very easy. I recommend you install the software update as soon as you get everything installed. It wasn’t mentioned in the owner’s manual so you will have to go to the VIZIO website to get the update. It solves some of the known bugs.

Sound Drops In & Out

The sound will drop in and out on the 2 rear speakers which is incredibly annoying, there is no constant sound for longer than a few minutes it will play for a few minutes and then the sound will go on and off. It has gotten to a point where I can't stand to even use them. Highly disappointed in this product. The sound bar part works great but that is it.
