||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.iIhaven't opened yet but not happy about it not having atmos. It clearly states atmos. but the box and back of speaker doesn't mention atmos. They also but the address sticker over box info. Not sure if ill open to test quality or just return and wait to get one with atmos.

It Just Plain Stinks!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm happy with the sound, but the smell is horendous. I'll keep it for a while to see if the smell goes away, if it doesn't I'll return it.

Posted .Hello musicman, new televisions may produce an unusual smell or odor when first turned on. This is due in part to the manufacturing process of components. Some of the electronic components are "coated" to prevent corrosion during their journey from the manufacturer to the home. When those components heat up for the first couple of times, depending on how long you leave the device on, an odor can occur. This smell is not harmful to your health and it will dissipate usually between 10 days and 2 weeks and not return. This is normal and occurs with virtually all consumer electronics. If you have any questions or need any assistance, we are available through text message, chat, or over the phone. Just go to support.VIZIO.com and click on ‘Contact Us’.
I'm sure it's good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't wait to actually hear this soundbar, I know it'll be good. Problem is I got it for a TV that we lost the remote for. We're stuck at the point of needing to access the TV audio settings. When I can, I'll see about talking to geeksquad.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to use with an Onn TV that has a horrible sound. It enhanced the sound to a tolerable level. Mind you it’s not top quality, but it’s not bottom of the barrel either.
I would recommend this to a friendNo sound bar Remote control
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The remote control didn't come with the unit I bought. Even though the description said it was just an open box. Everything else was in there. The vizio TV i bought it for connection works with the sound bar too.

Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is bigger than it looks like online. But the quality of sound and modes are amazing. It’s like being in the movie theater.

Sound good, doesn’t work right.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bar sounds great for an all in one package but has acted strange from day one. I have a universal remote for tv, cable and blue ray. Whenever I use ANY button on the remote the sound bar will increase or decrease in volume depending on the last adjustment I actually made to the volume. If I turned the volume up last, any button increases the sound. If I turned the volume down it goes that direction. Today it just suddenly announced it was in Demo mode and hasn’t made a sound since.

Very good
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best affordable all in one sound bar. My only gripe with this sound bar is either it’s too loud or to low really no in between but other then that it’s great.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sound Bar System that I purchased is a Christmas gift. Everything looks great, but once my daughter opens it and uses it, I will be able to give a better review of this item.

Spend the extra money on something better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds good for the price, but it sucks at 4K passthrough. Lots of dropped signals and failed HDMI handshakes, even on the most current firmware.

Lacks higher volume
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great at low volume. Decent bass for explosions. Over 50% volume the bass is too much and distorts the audio. Needs better lows.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Nice unit
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up, works great with my Panasonic 43" TV. It is a little big, but that's fine for where it sits

Unreliable
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is pretty good, but unreliable volume controls. Quite often, the volume controls do the opposite of what is being pressed.

Nice Sound Bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am pleased with this purchase. It was easy to install and I can hear the TV now without turning the volume up to blasting.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Compatibility
Disappointed usability
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this thinking it would work really well with my 1 year old Vizio TV, which has weak speakers. Boy was I wrong. I have it connected with HDMI arc, using an Xbox and a Roku ultra 2020, and it's glitchy as hell. It confuses the TV all the time, I have to flip the power strip or toggle inputs to try to reset it again.
