    This is amazing. It’s the best surround sound I’ve ever heard. Bass is crazy. Real true stupid sound out of all 4 speakers. It’s just an awesome set.

    I tried Bose 500 soundbar and honestly it lacks the power and sound so nothing to compare to this Vizio. It’s powerful and loud bass, you can hear in Atmos mode the different sounds from a movie plus I likes when the speakers goes up when they detect this mode. What makes this even better it’s that I got it for $699

    A good soundbar under $1k with easy setup. This soundbar has solid home theater sound, Atmos feature is not as convincing as i've hoped. Music play back is good but definitely not hifi. If you're not picky on detail of sound, this is a good choice. For the same money, if you have room, a tower 5.1.2 speaker system will provide a much better sound quality.

    I'm still playing around with the settings to try and get this just right, but for the most part it's pretty solid. I have a 7.2.2 dedicated home theater in the living room and used this to replace an older 36" vizio 5.1 soundbar. For the most part I was happy with the old one but it didn't support 4k HDMI or the sound formats I wanted. Idk how much the "atmos" works, but I definitely hear things I didn't hear before. Perhaps that's because of the newer HDMI board, more speakers or who knows... The sub sounded week at first and the surrounds crackled, but after re-pairing the sub, the thing tried to shake me out of bed. I like a lot of bass but has to turn it down quite a bit.

    Great Sound Bar

    Purchased this sound bar to connect to a Vizio 75 4k TV. The connection process was easy and allowed me to enjoy the 4k movies via streaming and the 4k player I have connected. Added a 4K Roku to it and the video and sound are awesome. The sound it provides is clear and the Atmos support is solid for the price. Plenty of other sound bars support Atmos but all are much more money. The bar is not light and at 48 inches it is wide, but it is worth it. The wires for the satelite speakes are significant and long enough for any environment.

    Pros: Once dialed in, it sounds absolutely incredible! Bass you can feel and a truly immersive sound. Remote is great to fine tune features, levels, and settings. Cons: the app absolutely, positively sucks. With this being a 4 year old system, there are tons of reviews that mention how crappy the app is. I was like “how bad can it be?” It’s bad. You’d think they’d have addressed this by now. Overall: skip the app, use the remote, and you will he in audio heaven.

    The sound quality for the price makes this unit worth it. I have it in my bedroom, which is approximately 400 sqft. The sound quality is amazing, though depending what’s on on occasion I don’t need the bass the subwoofer puts out so I may turn that down or even off. It’s easy to do through the app though.

    Great sounding system with immersive surrounded sound and deep bass Easy setup and the app allows you to adjust all levels to get the sound just the way you like it. The backlit remote is also handy. Can't give 5 stars because connecting my Android via Bluetooth isn't reliable. I've had to power cycle the sound bar to get connected, which was unexpected from the flagship product.

    Hardware sounds great with 2 HDMI ports

    When its working, its great! It took some time to get the firmware updated initially (the mobile app sat and spun many times, but I guess it updated in the background with no progress showing and it took about an hour). The hardware is great and really immersive! The mobile app is not the best and the settings take a few seconds to apply to the soundbar. There's a good variety of settings to apply and having a handful of EQs that are pretty spot on with minor tweaks is great! I've used an Xbox Series X plugged into a tv that uses pass through to the sound bar. The sound bar is plugged into an eARC port and everything works great! There is some sound blips with the Xbox Series X 4k at 120 Hz currently, but that will be fixed with an update to the Xbox in the near future. There are 2 HDMI ports in the sound bar. Not positive if they have some or any HDMI 2.1 features. I've read a few comments that they will support most of the HDMI 2.1 features, but may not have VRR. We'll see if an update comes out or additional technical specifications on them. Nintendo Switch and Amazon Fire TV 4k is plugged into the 2 HDMI ports in the sound bar and both work great. One minor issue I have seen is the Fire TV 4k will not turn on sometimes and I have to turn the TV off and then on again to get it working. Works most of the time, but not 100% of the time. Small annoyance. I think the sound bar may need another update to address that, but I have not found anything from Vizio if this is an issue. I got this soundbar at a great price during black friday. Full price may be a bit much and if a couple issues mentioned above are worked out, then it would be a great buy at its full price.

    Easy to set up. Great sound. Only issue is it keeps disconnecting. This is not a Visio issue so I didn’t take away rating. We have a Toshiba Fire TV and our cable provider remotes won’t sync so we have to use both remotes depending on what we are watching. The soundbar gets dropped frequently because of using both remotes.

    Incredibly nice sound bar with Atmos, two surround speakers, and the sub really packs a punch. Super neat to see the speakers on the sound bar rotate upward when playing Atmos content. Great value for the price and easily rivals the Sonos Arc with surrounds and a subwoofer which costs between two and three times more depending on whether you can find the Elevate on sale.

    Very good sound. Bought to see how it compared with 5.1.2 model. Not going to say this one isn't better but not $500 better. The upward firing speakers that rotate for ATMOS can be finicky. The remote is backlit which makes it better than the other model but you'll still need the app for proper setup. Also worried about when the rotating mechanisms wear out you'll have no upward firing speakers.

    I went with this as it was on a great Black Friday sale. To my surprise, this sounds great!! The surround Dolby quality is great. Sure there are probably better out there, but for the price, this has me shocked. The upward facing speakers that rotate can be a little gimmicky but that doesn’t deter me. The only thing that I can pick apart, I couldn’t get the words to match the mouth on some of the presets, after playing around a little I made it work but kind of annoying.

    Really like the sound bar,it seems more responsive than earlier models. It has great sound regaurdless if it's stereo,dolby atmos or Dts-x but the one issue i have with it is when i turn off the sound bar the sub woofer doesn't shut off. So i have to shut it off manually that the reason i didn't give it five stars.

    Easy to set up and sound quality is clear. Haven't had any issues with sound from TV to Soundbar, but sometimes sound drops and needs to be "reset" in toggling my Vizio TV's audio settings when using my Playstation to Soundbar to eARC port on the TV.
