It works, does everything that it claimed to do, and was under $100. No, it's not a Bose surround, but you get what you pay for. The main reason I got it was for the sound control, and some enhancement over the sound that came with the TV itself. I personally think it's a scam that TV manufacturers don't put better sound in their product, because the cost would be minimal. But look around and the manufacturers of a lot of the sound bars, lo and behold they are TV manufacturers. I works wonderfully with my $600 Samsung plasma TV. I recommend it for anyone looking for a $100 sound bar.

I read different reviews on different sounds bars all over the web. I finally decided on this due to the fact that i had a vizio tv as well. I decided to go with this without the subwoofer because my living room isn't too big and so the sound quality was actually superb. I was definately surprised because I normally get sony product but for the price this was a lot cheaper than a lot of the other name brand sound bar. Setup wasn't too bad, switching to the right sound source could be confusing but make sure you plug the right audio wire (included) and read the manual. All in all I'm glad i made a sound decision.

I used optical cable to connect to the TV. Sound quality is very detailed for this reasonably-priced sound bar. You can also use connect to your TV using bluetooth. 100 dB, minor sound distortion, and ability to stream your favorite Pandora/iHeartRadio Internet radio stations is a great feature. You can also add a subwoofer through audio cable to give that thumping bass.

I had some old, first generation surround-sound speaker system that was pretty much obsolete (pre-optical connectors), so I needed something that would enable me to hear quality sound from regular TV as well as DVD's and video games. The Vizio 2.0 is a major improvement from the normal TV speakers, but not what I'm used to. Don't let that discourage you...I knew there was no way this was going to match my previous 5 speaker / subwoofer system, but it does the job. If you want to improve what comes out of your TV, by all means get this soundbar. But if you're expecting theater quality sound for 100 bucks, you're not going to get it. Overall, the soundbar is aesthetically appealing, nice and sturdy...easy to set up and the controls are simple enough. I'm satisfied for now.

The speakers on my TV were weak and would buzz at medium volume. I bought this sound bar and hooked it up with the fiber optic cable (digital optical audio). The sound is great! Set up was very easy. The only problem I had is that the sound bar blocked my IR window on the TV, so could not use it. I raised the TV about 1 1/2" and everything works fine. I am pleased with this purchase.

purchased Sceptre 50 inch flat screen-great quality buy-except for the weak speakers. Vizio 38" 2.0 bar speaker fit the bill. easy to set up, bass is great without separate sub woofer; best quality for money and sound experience. this is an eye pleasing product. my friend says it has the same sound as his $500 Bose.

You can crank the volume up pretty loud on this unit. The sound is clear, however, Vizio's claim of deep bass without a subwoofer is off the mark. It is virtually non-existent for anyone that likes to hear low end sounds. I could not hear much separation for surround sound unless I was very close to the speakers. From across the room it sounds like one center speaker. I purchased the unit because it has a sub output. Hooking up to my subwoofer makes a huge difference in low end output, but it still lacks the ability to produce a surround sound experience that I could decipher. If you're not as particular as me, you might like it for being under $100.

had one on my kitchen 42" plasma. just love it. great sound good boom but not boomy. nice to sit in front with coffee. connected via digital audio. have directv but feed from tv digital audio. It is split (from the A guys) the other feed is converted to analog and fed to the back speakers for quiet viewing. now have in lvrm. use for normal viewing. Movies use theater receiver with all the boom from sub woofer. d/a split from A guys.

I bought this for my father for Christmas and he loves it! He loves that he can enhance the sound of shows/movies, and can also use the Bluetooth feature to play music from his phone. I ended up getting one for myself after he told me how much he loved his. I have no complaints!

Came in earlier than expected. Sound is good for the price. Placed it is front of a Toshiba TV, with Optic sound. Had to raise the TV a little over an inch to get better remote control action. Package was factory, and the box was in good condition. I have had it inly a couple of weeks, so will have to see how it is in a year.
