Great sound system
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredible for movies and music. A year later had to buy one for my brother and In-laws. Bass is really great. Works great with a smart home speaker.

Absolutely love this
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the Vizio soundbars. Cannot believe the sound quality for the money. The rear speakers work great but you need to connect to subwoofer via wire and what I did to hide the wires was just keep the subwoofer in the back of the room which works great.

Awesome for the price- feels like full surround
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hesitant to get these given the price seemed so low but these have been phenomenal for watching movies at home especially action movies. The speakers surround you in sound and honestly make my home feel better than a theater. NOTE: I noticed a huge difference after mounting the rear speakers in the correct place (2ft above wars at a 110 degree angle from just behind my couch). Before these were mounted properly the sound didn’t seem to be immersive and almost seemed to conflict with the front speaker

Very good sound and surround speakers are good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, an excellent surround sound for a sound bar with rear speakers. The system was easy to setup and use. One thing, and a bane for most surround sound units, the rear speakers were hard wired and wire one speaker was too sort and had to be spliced due to the unique connections

Oxymoron of stereo Systems
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is such a great sounding theatre system but the weird connection issues makes this a not so great system. After two weeks, I will say I finally got Dolby atmos working. Even before I got it work I debated returning it because it sounded great without it. The problem was I couldn’t play hdr video through the sound bar with my Xbox or Apple TV, which defeats the purpose. But after hard booting the system, everything seems to working fine. The system randomly powers off still and it still doesn’t turn my tv off when I turn off the soundbar but honestly for the price I paid for it I decided to keep it. Flaws and all. Still won’t play Netflix shows that are 4k when atmos is activated, but I just switch to my PS4 or Apple TV on another input.

Posted .Hello Ill1, Your sound bar should play any audio provided with to the sound bar. You should also be able to pass HDR content through the sound bar to your television as long as you have the correct HDMI cables. We'd love the opportunity to look into your setup and issues. Please reach out to our customer support at support.vizio.com and clicking 'Contact Us'.

Great sound but...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When working properly, this has absolutely astonishing sound. The problem is, since I’ve had this, I’ve had nothing but issues. From the left satellite speaker not working to the device spontaneously shutting off to constantly having to reset it. I’ve updated to the latest firmware but apparently, as can be seen in the reviews past, I’m not the only to complain about this. This product seem to of been rushed and now firmware updates are only beginning to catch up. I’d definitely recommend doing some serious research on these speakers and really shopping around. I’m seriously considering returning mine if Vizio doesn’t hurry up with meaningful firmware updates. For now, while the sound is stellar, I can’t recommend this because of the instability and lack of consistencey. For the price, I’d definitely expect better.

Packs a decent wallop of a punch
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went into buying this with little expectations of greatness. I was wrong, though the audio can become a little muddy at times based upon the content you are either streaming from a bluetooth device or what you are watching, the overall sound quality is good. The sub packs a decent wallop of a punch and the soundbar itself is sleek. I just wish vizio would allow adjustment of the height channels for a more immersive Atmos effect rather than no adjustments at all. If you’re looking for a decent quality budget sound bar, I could recommend this.

Great soundbar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome soundbar. Wanted a Dolby atmos but didnt want to pay an arm and a leg. Previous soundbar was also a Vizio and it had great sound. When atmos is hooked up movies sound great.

Almost perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good sound quality. You wont find better sound quality for the price. It does have a few minor glitches like having to turn it off and on if you are using hdmi arc, but its nothing that makes me regret switching from the Samsung hw 510.

Very impressed

Great Sound and easy too set up
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was easy to install and set up and sounds great. The only drawback is the remote that come with the unit, they may as well have included no remote. Adjusting the sound is easy with the cell phone app that can be downloaded. Adjusting sound with the remote is a joke.

Beware of surround sound issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, the performance is sub-par. I wasn't expecting much from Atmos due to my vaulted ceilings but it performed OK. My big disappointment was with the surround sound. The sub and wireless speakers connected effortlessly, but the actual surround experience is intermittent at best. Sometimes it works well and others it is so bad I have to turn the surround off. For the price, this shouldn't be an issue. Also, I'm not impressed with the setup via the SmartCast app. After multiple tries, I got everything paired and settings adjusted only to go back a few days later and find I had to start the entire process again as the app would never connect to the soundbar.

Amazing quality for price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best in class for the price. Great value. It was easy to set up and the quality of the sub and back speakers turns home into a Theater.

Sound is excellent but some software issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound first is absolutely amazing. Like it's really good. I've been having some software, or firmware issues with my unit though. Sometimes there is just no audio. I'll have to switch from "movie" to "direct" and then back to "movie" and then suddenly I have sound again. It's annoying.
