Great for the miney
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've always owned Vizio products their sound bars are the best for the money hands down I still have my first one of 9 yrs ago just wanted to upgrade to Atmos this product is great for the money picked it up on sale for 400 had the Samsung q850a never took it out of the box just exchanged it for this one to save a couple hundred dollars and it works great the Atmos feature is good you can tell it sounds like there are things above you but I'm sure at alit more money you could get one that does it better it's good but not great but it's a fraction of the cost other than that the sound is loud and clear

Great soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been pleasantly surprised by this Dolby Atmos soundbar. It’s not Atmos that you’d get from speakers in the ceiling. It’s not directly above you like Atmos is technically supposed to be, but it’s in front and above you and sounds good. Great sound for a bar at this price point. 4k blu rays, Disney plus, Netflix and Amazon Prime tracks sound great.

Great and user friendly
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Even better than the M5.1 offering. I'd say go with this one if you want a more thorough experience. Works nicely with my TV, sub and rear speakers are legit. Passthrough is working great. I love that you can hit the INFO option and it will tell you what the currently audio format is so you can make changes if necessary

Sounds great when it works, but...
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased one of these from Best Buy in September 2021. I'd had it for fewer than two months when one of the speakers stopped working. I went to Vizio's online tech support, and after going through several troubleshooting operations that were unsuccessful, Vizio issued me a replacement under warranty, and I sent Vizio my defective unit. I had the replacement unit until July 2023 when it suddenly became completely unresponsive and wouldn't even turn on. It seems to me that software updates to my Vizio M-Series TV have caused problems with this soundbar. Several months earlier, the rear speakers began cutting out randomly after there was an update to the TV, and later, after another TV update, that problem went away. There was also an update to the TV right before the soundbar stopped working altogether just recently. Best Buy won't replace or even service it because it's out of warranty, and after going through troubleshooting with Vizio tech support, they told me it has to be replaced. This sound bar was easy for me to set up and use, and it sounded great when it worked. I like that it supports Dolby Digital Plus, Atmos and DTS:X and has eARC and EQ presets. The sound is more balanced and refined than the Vizio SB4051-CO that it replaced (and I'm now using again) but having had two of these which lasted me fewer than two years combined, I can't recommend this soundbar without an extended warranty because the quality assurance just isn't there. If I get another sound bar like this, it might be a different brand.

Great Sound Bar with Atmos +++
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar is perfect for my room. The bass is powerful, and the surround sound with Dolby Atmos really creates a big sound field. It is a great enhancement to the viewing experience at home. Definitely recommended!

Wow
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This system is awesome and I wish I bought it sooner than I did. The surround sound is great. I finally got to fully test the system and what I can say is im impressed with the sound of the system. It was really easy to set up too. All else I can say is for the price I don't know what can beat it.

It delivers!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You can’t beat this quality for the price especially when it’s on sale. Even at $500 it’s a good buy. POWERFUL sub, clean and a clear sound at high volume and hearing dialog is never an issue!! I like my movies and music LOUD! This soundbar is a no-brainer with someone looking for that movie theater sound and Feel while on a budget.

A gradual step up from older soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace the Vizio SB 36 5.1 I bought at Best Buy in 2020 as I wanted a better Dolby Atmos experience. It is a step up but not a giant leap. With the right source there does tend to be a more immersive 3D- like sound with some overhead awareness but not like I had to duck as planes flew over me. I’d call it a noticeable but remarkable experience difference. However the unit itself performed better- has not turned it self off as the older SB3651 did (still does in the family room). I waited until Vizio pushed out the promo price for Super Bowl so I believe it is a good value at that price point. And at half the price of the Vizio Elevate I would buy again.

Incredible sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this product. I was in search of the full room filling sound for my movie and tv streaming. With the atmos sound i get more than i had hoped. You hear the sound all around you and still have the direction differentiation of yhe surround. You can hear and feel the subwoofer at the same time. It is an awesome experience.

Great experience, must buy for first timers
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are buying your first home theater system, this is definitely a top candidate. I bought these as my first Surround sound system. Absolutely loved the sound with Dolby Atmos and 5.1.2 channel. The HDMI eARC connects very well to the tv so the lacking remote control is never needed. After 1.5 years of use, the left rear speaker started making a clicking noise. Very irritating. Waiting on support from Vizio team.

Wow!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product from Vizio. It was on sale for $349 and it’s worth every penny. Love the Dolby atmos surround effects and the 11 channel sound bar with upward firing speakers. Just the right amount of bass for a big room. Happy with the purchase. Only issue I noticed so far is the Bluetooth connection from my phone drops occasionally.

Great little 5.1.2 sound system.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like this sound bar system. I’m normally used to my 7.1.2 full audio system in my living room so I was happy that I found something smaller that was good enough for my bedroom that didn’t sound like crap compared to my main setup. My only issue is when I use it with some streaming stuff that’s not natively Dolby or dts and change audio from direct audio mode to movie simulated surround sound mode it blasts the volume out of the bar even at lowest sound level and becomes unusable for me. Not the end of the world since I can leave it on direct mode, but sometimes I’d love to use the movie mode when watching something not natively encoded to surround

Solid dolby atmos performance
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Grest bang for the buck. Easy set-up, but note the surround speakers do need to be plugged into the subwoofer. The upfiring speakers do a decent job of bouncing sound off the ceiling to replicate ceiling speakers. Overall well worth the $318 I paid (open box).
