Marvelous Sound

After a lot of time researching which Sound Bar System I should buy I decided to go with this one and WOW WOW WOW, I made the right choice. The sound is way louder than what I was expecting (way more). The Vizio SmartCast app allows you to control all of your settings (Woofer Base, Treble, name, SoundBar name, etc). It's just a wonderful toy to have. The SoundBar is easy to mount, it comes with a mounting plate that you can use as a guide. And yes it's Bluetooth enable so that you can play music via your phone, tablet or computer. It's just a piece or art !!!

Great sound quality

We have a older Sony Brio tv that has been moved twice--once across country and once across town. It delivers a great HD picture, but the sound was getting progressively worse. We bought the sound bar to replace the the tv speakers and restore decent sound quality; however, the sound bar didn't just restore the sound, the sound quality far exceeds the original Sony speakers. Both voice and music is as clear as a quality sound system.

Good sound for the price!

I bought sound bar for new Vizio M series TV. Vizio TVs have notoriously weak sound (M-series speakers are located in back of TV. Sound bar gives nice range of sound including bass. Unless you are a sound engineer this unit gives you great sound for the price!

Works well and easy set-up.

Works well for a TV sound system that is not full surround sound. Smart enough to know that I have turned off the speakers on the TV and then pick up the output signal the TV sends when I change the volume of the TV on Start-up of the TV. This can take a few seconds, but it is worth the wait.

Good sound

This system is perfect for our use. The only surprise was I thought the subwoofer was wireless. It is wireless but it still needs to be plugged in for power. So we are unable to place it next to the couch. Both sound bar and subwoofer are near the TV. Sound is still very good.

Excellent sound, difficult to install

Now that we finally have it installed the sound quality is great. It was extremely difficult to install as it needed ethernet cable that was not provided and none of the directions/videos indicated that we would need this. We finally figured it out and like the product.

Excellent Sound, Well Built

This sound bar has plenty of sound and great volume. I took 1 star off because the directions were terrible and not easy to understand. After figuring out why the sound did not come on right away, I fooled around with the inputs and it finally came in and worked well. The instructions were NOT good. The sound bar itself is of good quality and has great sound. I suggest anyone to buy this. I got it for about 110 dollars and on sale. Great deal !!!

Perfect necessity for current flat screens!!

Thin TeeVees just don't have room for decent speakers and the amps are pretty under powered. I added this to a 40 inch screen in the bedroom and it sounds great. Powerful enough to use in a real TV room and still be fairly unobtrusive. There are even enough inputs to use for wired or wireless music players in addition to most any type of video input without plugging and unplugging. Easy setup and operation… all at a very affordable price.

Nice sound.

Easy to set up, plug and play. Sounds good. The only reason I deducted a star is that it turns itself off too quickly. If I mute the sound to answer the phone, for example, it turns itself off after a very short time. I work around it by turning the volume way down instead of muting it.

Good soundbar and a great price

I bought this soundbar for my wife's parents to hook up to their Vizio TV in the family room. They were really impressed with them improvement in sound over the tv's normal speakers. The additional bass module really gives the sound nice depth and is a great purchase if that's of value to you. We had a small issue with the sound from the tv coming a half second sooner than the sound from the sound bar. It was easily fixed by going into the menu and turning off the tv's speakers completely. I was pleasantly surprised that the soundbar, when hooked up via included optical cable, also turns on and off with the tv. There is a lag to it turning off; it takes 5 to 10 minutes. To get it to turn on they have to press volume up or down after turning on the tv, but I was thrilled that they it worked with their dish TV remote and they wouldn't need an additional remote to control the sound. Finally this was a great purchase for them b/c it was the same brand as their tv and like brands usually cooperate better. It also doesn't have all the extra features, which for them is a huge bonus because they don't love tech and simpler is better. They really did appreciate the improvement in sound. Overall a great purchase.
