Sounds good when it works
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds good when it working correctly. Have trouble with the sound staying set. Volume level freezes at one setting. Can't turn it up or down. Whenever I change channels the background sounds are fine but can't hear people talking. Have to reset every time.very annoying. Will be taking it back.

Posted .Hello Ricky, thank you for taking time to leave us some feedback. When this happens does the volume indicator show on screen as well? If no volume indicator shows on screen when this happens, I would recommend to start out with ensuring that volume leveling is enabled and possibly increase the center speaker level in the sound bar's settings. If you haven't returned the sound bar yet, please reach out to our support team on support.VIZIO.com by clicking 'Contact Us'. We'd appreciate the chance to try and help you.

Huge bang for the buck
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At this price, this is probably one of the best deals out there. Absolute room filling sound with ground shaking bass! Works great with my non-Vizia tv, PS4 and XBox. Surround sound was extremely easy to set up and the wireless subwoofer has worked flawlessly so far. BT is always working great so far and seems to have a good range! Highly recommend!

Good system. Low Barrier entry to 5.1.2 Surround.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good System Fairly easy setup. ONly Issue is that some streaming Channels on Roku have a weird problem with the sound dropping for about 4 seconds after you unpause a stream (Netflix and Prime). Not sure if this is a Roku issue or a Vizio issue but it seems like DRM is causing issues. Other than that annoyance its a great upgrade for a TV that has crappy sound without needing to run a bunch of cables across a room from the front to rear channels.

Great soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up, even though I had a little trouble with my Harmony One. It kept turning things on and then off. My fix was to turn Anynet OFF. Now it works great!

Little speakers produce big sound!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much impressed with the quality of sound of such small speakers. Remote is easy to use and a good size, not to big or small. If tv is paused for 10 minutes sound bar will automatically turn itself off. My only complaint is that it doesn't auto-regulate the volume (volume up to hear dialog, then action scene is super loud) or I just haven't figured it out yet?!? Still, it's super awesome!! I found an open-box in excellent condition, so saved $50. It was in fact, excellent condition! Bought geek squad protection, just in case!

Inexpensive Dolby Atmos
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this soundbar! It was super easy to set up and it sounds great! I can connect my phone to it or my computer or my tv so I have endless options of what to listen to and how! Only complaint would be that his phone overrides mine so he gets to choose the music! Hater! lol....definitely a must if you are looking for an inexpensive option with the dolby atmos sound!

Good one
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to experience the Dolby Atmos and chromcast. If it was my first purchase I would like it. But already I have older version of VIZIO 5.1 surround sound which make very good quality of sound than this. This new model having issue with chromcast. If I need to play song from YouTube to chromcast I need to wait minimum 10 min. Now size also they reduced from 38 inch to 36 inch sound bar. I would suggest if this price is $199 it’s worth to buy. Else you can keep this model away and wait for newer release with good build features. Sound quality it’s not good as my older VIZIO dose.

Great Sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this to bypass the built in speakers in my LG tv. I am hard of hearing so now I can hear the tv much better without having to rely on my hearing aids. Of course, with the hearing aids in and these speakers, I can hear sounds that I haven't heard in almost 30 years. I am very pleased with this set and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a great sounding sound bar setup.

||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar is great. When you are watching content that is sending the higher quality signals this baby rocks. It will shake your if you are into that. The surround has made me turn my head a few times thinking something is flying by or creeping up on me. This bar does not disappoint.

Ok for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound for the price. Doesn't turn on and off with the tv automatically even with eco mode turned off. The Vizio app is terrible.

Sound is amazing
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this surround sound set. The sound is incredible for the price of this setup. It looks great in my livingroom! The satellite speakers are great as well. I purchased satellite speaker stands to put them on and they attached easily. I would recommend using the Smartcast Mobile app to adjust setting on your Vizio sound bar, it can be difficult on the remote.

Great sound at an affordable price point.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar system is great. The Movie experience on my 75 inch TV is so much better with the surround sound added. And the upward facing speakers are amazing when you hear things going over your head. I can't say enough good things about this vizio 5.1.2 surround sound sound bar system it is above and beyond expectations and at a great price point.

Nice surround sound set up.
