    Great Soundbar for the price, includes rear speakers And all the cables you need to get set up quickly. Sound is great, crisp and clear and the subwoofer is pretty powerful. Only downside of this sound bar in my usage of it is that sometimes when you turn on the TV the sound bar fails to play sound even though it powers on with the tv.

    Good sound bar. Great bass, although it can be a little to much sometimes. Needed some tweaks out of the box. Felt like i could barely hear the dialogue compared to the other sounds initially. Dolby atmos effects are awesome.

    I just upgraded my vizio sound with that I had to this vizio beast, omg this is beautiful bar and the sounds is beyond amazing, this is better than your average sound out there. Better than the lg sound bar and I know casue my friend has the lg but nothing to do envy this bar is better only better perhaps the sonos cause is a top brand in sounds. Love the atmos and how it rotates when it detects it. Sucks that Netflix doesn't have anything dolby atmos. But like the vudu app that has 4k with atmos. Omg worth the money.

    So I picked this soundbar up a few days ago. Best Buy had it on sale for just the one day so I had to take advantage of it. When opening, everything was nicely packaged and Vizio provides you with all of the accessories that you need. This soundbar sounds absolutely amazing!!! It definitely gives you the feeling like your in a movie theater! Great job Vizio with this soundbar and I highly recommend you get it, especially when it’s on sale!

    Ummmmm unreal. This is the best sound system I have ever owned. The rotating speakers add such a new dimension for Dolby atmos. The rain in a show sounds like it’s behind you and on top of you. This unit is powerful, and I have to turn the sub down a bit. Stock settings are great for movies and gaming. I love this set up. I hope I have no issues and it lasts for years to come. This is a premium system, for a really good price

    Finally was on a Black Friday sale for the 699$ price had to grab it for I have the vizio oled tv that pairs perfectly to this beast of a sound bar. Little learning curve to figure out your own personal settings. Nothing like a good YouTube video to help and it’s that simple to configure.

    Best soundbar I’ve ever owned or heard. Sounds great for both music and film/tv/video games. I have sources going directly into the bar so can’t comment on eARC performance. Out of the box the bar is very bass heavy but sounds great after turning subwoofer and bass levels way down and using Direct EQ for video sources.

    The sound is awesome, at first I was thinking about getting a Bose or Sony sound bar for double the price cause I’ve never tried a Vizio product, but after listening it in-store I took it home. The only problem is the app compatibility for Apple phones, you can always use the remote instead though.

    Love the Vizio Elevate 5.1.4 system! Great sound and experience of Dolby Atmos. The only things i was missing when setting it up was the power cords to the sound bar and sub woofer. I looked all through the box and packaging and never saw them. So i ordered two power cords that matched and if works great now. I like the remote, much easier to use and it is an upgrade to my old vizio 5.1.2 dolby atmos system. So, overall i’am very satisfied and happy!

    The sound is amazing! I do love the sound bar but it also has some kinks. Every once in a while you need to do a hard reboot. For me it was between this and the Sonos but this came on sale for around $600 which is a fraction of the Sonos setup so I pulled the trigger. Definitely worth it for that.

    Honestly blew me away. I got lucky and got a great deal for this beast of a sound system. Vizio can tend to be mediocre sometimes but this system here is absolutely worth every penny! DEEP bass, clear mids, very clean highs, and very immersive.

    Absolutely love this sound bar. Amazing quality and the auto rotating speakers for Dolby Atmos is an amazing touch. It surely does bring the theater experience closer to home. I would highly recommend it. Only annoying experience is trying to set it up with the Vizio SmartCast app. It took many tries before it was finally connected to the app and set up.

    This sound bar change the way that we watch movies, commercials, shows, and even just flipping through apps lol. The sub sits behind the couch and everyone is blown away by the sound and the way the couch rumbles when you sub hits. Can't recommend this enough, bought it on sale to do even more added value there. 100 percent recommend.

    this thing sounds amazing, I had the vizio 5.1.2 dolby atmos and the connection was very unreliable when switching sources. I would often have to unplug it to connect. This one solved that issue and works well. The sub is massive, you will feel the thump. I got it on sale $300 off its a great system but I wouldn't pay full price.

    One of the best atmos bars at an affordable price

    I been seeking for a good affordable atmos bar and I think i finally found it. I have tried many atmos bars from the LG, Sonos and JBL and let me tell you the Elevate stands up to all of these and performs like a champ. The atmos experience is superb, the sub is poweful enough to anger the neighbors and the backlight remote is a treat. I do recommend using the app to fine tune your EQ. Direct for atmos movies and Movie mode for everything else is my recommendation. I have all my EQ settings about 4 with the sub being around 6 or so (this is adjusted to your taste). I recommend trying this bar out if your on the fence you won't regret it.

    Amazing sound, but some half-baked decisions

    This sound bar beat my expectations on sound quality, it is loud, rich, and the sub packs plenty of bass. There are some build quality issues and quality of life issues, some which could be fixed via a firmware update. First, the wall mounting system is terrible. There are two little brackets that you have to place perfectly, as the mounting holes are so small it leaves no room for error. Second, there is a long 3-5 second gap in audio as the sound bar figures out what format the audio source is (i.e. stereo, Dolby, DTS), meaning you will miss 3-5 second of dialogue if you pause a program because it needs to see what format the signal is sending. Third, the Google Assistant integration is half baked; with my setup, whenever I say "Ok Google" to any device in my house. it lowers the volume of my sound bar, and there is no option to disable this. And finally, having cryptic cues of colored lights on the sound car in order to determine status isn't a great experience. Overall I would still recommend this, it's bang for buck is amazing, but compromises, half baked software, and bizarre UX chooses were made.
