Great when working properly

C+
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.C+. Not the greatest sound out of the sound bar. It can be hard to hear. Surround sound is good for movies. Nothing wowing.

I would recommend this to a friend Great sound system for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound system is great. Ithere is no lag and I haven't faced connection loss. I wish Vizio added the app support as they do it on more economical sound bars than this.

I would recommend this to a friendPretty good for a small room
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty nifty sound bar for the price it’s not great by any means or in any way but for your room maybe it’s better. Don’t recommend for a living room she’ll out the extra money for like a jbl 9.2 or the Samsung 9.2

Intermittent functionality
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound great when they work, but the arc connection is hit or miss at best. Sound will cut out frequently with sound actually coming out of the speakers maybe 2 times out of 10. Old Vizio soundbar works just fine but this one is just struggling to keep up

Vizio soundbar

Frustrating....
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So don't get me wrong, the sound this system provides is really good. Especially when you're watching a movie through a streaming service, the surround sound is great. The problem is the sound bar keeps dropping the inputs. The HDMI-eARC completely stopped working so I switched to the optical output. When I turn the TV on the sound bar no longer turns on automatically so I have to use the remote to turn that on as well. When you switch from TV to a streaming service on occasion the sound bar will drop the connection so you have to tell it to reconnect to the optical output. And naturally this all started happening after the return period expired. The most frustrating piece of electronics I've ever owned.....

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality. Only con I noticed is it sometimes need power reset to switch the input source. It doesn’t automatically switch based on active input.
I would recommend this to a friendWorth it. Good value and sounds awesome
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can't say much bad about this system. Very happy with the purchase. If you do buy it, update the firmware with a USB thumb drive. Anything I would complain about was fixed with the update.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Using this with an LG C1 Oled tv and a Windows PC. Any problems I've had were because it's a little tricky to setup with Windows.

Had potential but too many firmware issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this to pair with my Vizio p65q9-H1 tv and XSX. Unfortunately it seemed like there were handshake issues when changing inputs on when games/videos switched to HDR10 or Dolby vision. Lip sync was off when streaming YouTube from XSX but not when streamed from the onboard TV apps. Sounded great but too many issues for me to keep.
