Amazing addition to the bedroom wall mounted TV.

This thing is amazing. Our bedroom TV was thin sounding and we have very high ceilings so I needed something to improve midrange and low end and I didn't want a sub to have to deal with. I purchased this soundbar along with a $35 Rocketfish universal soundbar mount. We use the optical input but it has several inputs and all cables are included. The bass port on the back stays busy and does move some air. It's the perfect sound for a wall mounted bedroom TV. The remote has several features and my favorite is the night mode which flattens the sound and lowers the bass frequencies so it's less dynamic if you're trying to watch TV while your better half tries to sleep. My Firestick 4K controls the soundbar so when I use the firestick remote control the volume actually controls the soundbar. Alexa lists it as a new device as well.
This is a bargain at $90 for a great sounding bedroom soundbar. Our bedroom is 700 Sq Ft and has 15' ceiling and this little thing fills the room with great sound for such a small package.

Vizio sound bar sounds really great for the price. Setup was very easy and it makes regular tv and movies sound as if you are at a theater. The compact size made it fit right under my tv. Very happy with the purchase, glad that the sales associate recommended it.

GUYS.

This is the BEST sound bar I've EVER purchased! This little thing packs a wallop! Like seriously, it's only a 2 speaker system but it has a chamber behind so that it can resonate as a subwoofer as well and the sound that comes out of this bar is so loud and clear and full, it's not even funny how good it sounds!
I've had 5.1 setups in our bedroom that were either complicated and annoying to maintain or the sound was just too powerful. For example, some sound systems just LOVE to lean on a subwoofer to make their "not-so-good" speakers sound better. So all you get is annoying rumbling and tin-y sound.
This little speaker is perfectly balanced, mids, highs and lows, so the sound that comes out of it sound perfectly organic. It doesn't sound tin-y, it doesn't sound like a subwoofer is yelling at the neighbors, its absolutely perfect. I'm getting others for hte rest of hte bedrooms

Good quality with basic options amd will majorly improve on the sound you get from a low end TV but it has no HDMI so you have to use USB or AV cables which is a bit of a bummer.

Decided to purchase my first soundbar and this one was reasonably priced. Fairly easy to set-up after getting the optical cord and adjusting my TV to the correct settings. Definitely improved TV sound quality immediately. Feel it has great sound for the price. Definitely recommend.

Bestbuy price matched this with a lower price from Sam's Club. For it's size, the sound is not bad. I did sound test on youtube, and this soundbar wasn't bad. About two weeks or so ago, I purchased a gaming table. The way I had it set up, I couldn't really place computer speakers in a good position. So I purchased this and it sets under my QHD monitor. The Logitech speakers went into the master bedroom and they're connected or used with my wife's laptop setup (non-gaming). I would recommend this. At the time, Sam's clubs price was either 59.99 or 69.99, somewhere there.
I'll add this. When I paired either my phone or laptop, I had issues, but I think an unpair and re-pair did the trick.

The perfect small sound bar for a small TV

I replaced my kitchen TV that sits on the countertop in the corner with a Vizio 24 inch. The sound left a little bit to be desired which is expected with a small tv, so I picked up this Vizio small soundbar. It linked up perfectly with the included optical cable and is controlled flawlessly with either the TV remote or your cable box remote. The sound is actually pretty shocking how well it fills our kitchen and is small enough that it's not overbearing in the kitchen. I will add some photos later. The only con with the soundbar is it does not have HDMI ARC support which should be standard on every sound bar these days.

Really like this sound bar. Since we have a Vizio tv I decided to purchase their sound bar. Easy to set up and sounds great. The price was nice too. I didn't want to invest a lot of money for what we needed.

Can't beat the sound for the price. We needed something to up the sound in our bedroom as our kids love to ask questions while we watch tv/movies. We have a Vizio TV this is connected to but we are syncing it with a Apple TV, so sometimes it gets a little wonky trying to get it to turn on and sync with one remote. But the sound fills the room pretty good and we have a pretty large master bedroom compared to a typical size. But I would definitely not recommend for a large family room or den.

I didn’t expect this to sound like a Bose sound bar anything, for the price I paid, so let’s get that out-of-the-way right out of the gate. This sound bar does sound pretty decent for the price. Would I buy it again? Probably not. Just because I probably should have paid two or $300 for a better one, in hindsight. One of the biggest downsides to the sound bar, is how difficult it is to pair it to Bluetooth. It’s an annoying process where you have to sync it every time on the remote. It’s an unnecessary step which I’ve never seen before, actually. You must be an outdated technology or something. Beyond that, if you want to decent sounding Sound bar, this isn’t a bad purchase option. I just wouldn’t buy it again, because I wanted to be a cheap skate, instead of getting a true quality entertainment experience.

This has decent sound for a small soundbar better than some higher cost models. However, it rattles when you turn the treble and bass up all the way and then turn the volume up just a bit more than 1/2 way. No speaker should to that at 1/2 volume.
I got this on sale so as long as it lasts me a little while then it's not bad. Vizio has it's issues though. The remote frequently loses connection with the speaker and won't control it. It requires you to reboot the speaker by pulling out the plug which is really annoying.
Also if you pause a video and your tv is not playing the sound through aux cable then the speaker just turns off. It shouldn't do that. People pause their devices all the time.
The optical audio doesn't work at all. It tells me to switch my tv audio out to PCM. That is all my TV is on audio out is PCM. Yet the speaker tells me the audio is not supported.
You also can't tell when the treble is up all the way or down. The same is true for the bass. Unless you turn things on and off you can't tell what their settings are.
Overall very disappointed but at this price point you can't really get anything else. All in all a disappointing experience for my first Vizio Product purchase.

This soundbar has more features than I need. Maybe someday I'll program the Bluetooth but I doubt it. The instructions made it super easy to setup as it even included enough good info as to what changes I needed to make on-screen for it to work with my tv. And if I forget to turn the power off, it seems to have a built-in timer to do that for me. About 2 weeks after I started using it, it wouldn't turn on. Found the instructions and that didn't help, or so I thought. Went online for support and discovered that I hadn't fully "plugged and un-plugged" it. Works fine again. Oh, and really good volume with no buzzing. I'm happy.

I recently bought a 32” Visio tv for my bedroom and this soundbar was on display with the tv. I thought maybe the soundbar would be too much in my room. Once I got my TV set up, I realized the sound would be so much better with the soundbar. I went back to Best Buy and purchased this item on sale and brought it home. It was extremely easy to setup and enjoy. Now my tv sounds so much better and I love streaming music to the soundbar either from my iPad, iPhone, Alexa, or through an app on my tv. Very pleased with my purchase. It’s perfect!

I have some issues with this soundbar. While it works perfectly. For some reason sometimes it will not turn on. You have to unplug it for 10 seconds to get it to work again. The sound is amazing but it’s annoying to always have to do this. It’s not a strong recommendation

Easy and quick to set up. We bought this for an elderly parent who is hard of hearing and was having trouble with sound quality from a new TV. All the new TV’s have a great picture, but the sound isn’t loud enough or clear enough. This product gives the TV clear and crisp sound without being too loud. Very happy with this item and so is the person we gave it to. Would recommend.

I’m not a sound expert so didn’t really care if the trebles and bases were perfect. Just wanted to boost the sound on my flat screen TV as the speakers of the TV are in the rear of the unit so always sounded muffled. This Visio unit was on sale, had good reviews and was compact in size. Everything I wanted and I am very happy with it. Was easy to set up, definitely boosted the volume and sound quality is good to my ears. Highly recommend

I have a full surround sound system at my house but I bought this for my mother who is a little hard of hearing, with the idea that with bigger speakers than the tv and pointed out at her rather than down it might sound better. She had been complaining that a lot of times voices were muddy sounding. I was also fully prepared to hear she didn't want another gadget cluttering up her living room. I was really surprised at how well she took to it commenting right away about how much better it sounded and how much clearer it was for her. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

I love This little thing... it sounds robust. It’s compact enough. Beats having two speakers with wires all over the place. The remote is legit. Easy to connect and use. Works with my harmony remote.
I wish There was an “always on” feature. It times out and goes to sleep so I have To turn it back on to get it to play. That’s annoying. The feature may be there but I cant Find it. Otherwise though, I’m impressed.
