Very easy to set up. Just download the Vizio app and set your speakers to the "Movie" preset and you are good to go. And with plenty of bass! Very hard to beat these speakers at $159

This is a nice unit. I bought this for a new bedroom tv and I recommend this for a bedroom-sized mated with a Vizio tv. Sounds great!

This soundbar has been excellent for our house. We have an older 65-inch Sony TV, and this soundbar works great via the HDMI ARC connection. We are EXTREMELY satisfied with this soundbar for the price.

We chose this over a sound bar as my husband has trouble hearing the conversations in movies and we thought having the separate speakers would help. As it happens the conversation still comes primarily from the soundbar BUT the Vizio app for our phones has an equalizer mode for "Clear Dialog" that really enhances conversation and has made a huge difference. It helps even further that we can increase treble and our settings are automatically saved on both of our phones. Absolutely love this, and love how easy it is to navigate - even for us "old" folks. The sound itself is amazing and you really feel as though the movie is happening all around you.

Replaced an older 1000w 5.1 LG sound system with this Vizio. The speakers (especially the bass speaker) are literally one quarter or less the size of my old speakers. I could not believe the difference in sound. The tiny Vizio blows my LG 5.1 sound system out of the water. Voices are more crisp and clear, the booming from the box shakes the house, and the surround sound is so much more pronounced. Setup took no more than 10 minutes, and it works perfectly with my Samsung TV. While there is no remote control, your smartphone acts as the remote. There are plenty of adjustments to customize the sound to your liking. Once set, there is no need to go back to the settings. The only "quirk" I have found is that in order to use it as a sound system for my Echo Show, I need to pair it for each use. Other then this, the Vizio soundbar is an incredible purchase for the price.

The sound is very good for the price of this unit. Beware that while the front soundbar uses Bluetooth to connect to the bass subwoofer, the rear speakers are powered and connected to the subwoofer via cable, not via Bluetooth. Also, Vizio requires you to set up an account and a smart phone is needed to fully set up and customize the speaker output. It will operate using your TV’s remote once this is done. A nice unit if you can hide the cables for the remote speakers.

For the price, these speakers will knock your socks off. Sound quality is good, realistic surround for movies envelopes the listener, and also perfect for watching music videos. Only one drawback is conversations usually require added volume, and when action scenes come, your guests will jump out of their seats initially!

Vizio removed the physical remote from this soundbar, and they don’t make that clear. Using a mobile app would be convenient, but the app now requires creating an account with no guest option. A product like this should be fully functional out of the box without forcing customers into an app and account. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who cares about privacy or having full control without extra requirements.

Not half as good as the older model. The phone program to adjust the system failed badly. I called customer service who had me order a remote for the old system which does not work with this one. Very bad Vizio has really gone down hill. I have quit buying their products.

Absolutely don’t bother with this soundbar if you don’t have a Vizio TV. We tried it first on our Sceptre TV, only to find out the soundbar runs on an HDMI(EARC) cable. If your TV doesn’t have the EARC HDMI port, only a regular HDMI port, you’re out of luck. Decided we would just use it in another room (roughly 15x20ft) with a Hisense TV that did have the EARC port, and with the soundbar at 80/100 volume it was still not putting out good sound. It also does not come with a remote- you have to use the app for any adjustments outside of volume up or down, which is atrocious to operate. *Unless you have a Vizio TV, in which case after googling 500 things to see why it wouldn’t work with our originally intended TV, we learned it integrates with your Vizio TV physical remote if you have one. Returned in the end.
