Not that good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s not as loud as the Samsung 2.1 I bought in the past. The sound Quality is ok but I wouldn’t buy it again.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a 2.1 vizio soundbar, but it only has optical and not HDMI. In my opinion, that sounds better than this soundbar. Did Vizio skimp out on their newer soundbars? The bass was very weak and the soundbar itself was nothing special. I ended up returning it. Get the older 2.1 soundbar or the new Yamaha 2.1 soundbar. No, I would not recommend this.

Rarely Works
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The HDMI connection will not be recognized on my TV so I’m forced to use the Optical connection. It works 20% of the time on start up and I’m forced to troubleshoot the connection for 5-10 minutes before getting any sound out of the bar. It’s made my TV significantly less enjoyable to use, stay away.

Don't buy a cheap sound bar.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very disappointed in this sound bar and woofer. Unfortunately the box was destroyed or I would have returned it in a heart beat. My 13 year old Vizio TV has better sound. So sad. Also, my old TV being a Vizio one would think this sound bar would work on it, but it didn't.

Disappointing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Impossible to get audio synced up with video on Samsung TV.

Speaker blown after 2 months light use-total trash
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Garbage. The left speaker on the soundbar blew with very light use (watched 3 movies) in a spare bedroom in less than 3 months. DO NOT BUY

Posted .Hi Lisa, sorry to read that you're experiencing crackling. Have you tried connecting the sound bar with a different cable? While it's possible that there's a problem with the sound bar, cords/cables with frayed ends can also cause audio crackling. If you'd like any assistance, you can reach out to our customer service team by visiting support.vizio.com and clicking on 'Contact Us'.
