    I've had several soundbars including an LG atmos but this soundbar is by far the best. It's like you're watching a movie at the theater. What's best is in game mode it's like you're actually at the game. Excellent product.

    Been using this for almost 2 weeks now and I am really impressed with this one so far. The setup was super easy and quick, the only downside for now is the Vizio Smart cast app.

    I already owned the Vizio 5.1.4 sound bar. But this one has Rotating speakers on the end which give this sound bar a extra level of sound it blows the Vizio 5.1.4 away plus the speaker bar is all Mattel no clothed covers and the rear speakers are too. A much higher end.

    We love our sound system. As movie going lovers COVID theater closures were really sad for us, missing out on movie nights at the theater. This sound system helps bring a bit of the magic back with deep and immersive sound.

    I bought it for the multiple HDMI ports that supported Dolby Atmos since most sound bars I found only had one. My TV is not Dolby Atmos capable but my streaming box is, so I wanted the Atmos sound. This sound bar is not very good. It is sometimes glitchy when powering up, replacing the video with very bad quality or video static. Sometimes the audio takes voices out of playing video and sometimes there's no audio at all when watching Atmos-enabled videos. Unplugging the sound bar from the wall for 30 seconds fixes it for a while but is a frustrating experience. And well, the phone app isn't very good since it rarely connects to the soundbar. When it is working it sounds great, which is most of the time. All in all I wouldn't buy it again.

    One of the best sounding soundbars but with that being said, this is one of my biggest regrets buying. Too much issues for a product that’s 1000$! This is the most frustrating product to own because most of the issues don’t make sense at all, randomly not turning on, unresponsive inputs, the app is terrible and you never know when it’ll work or not. Currently sitting here about to rage like a teen all over again dealing with this smh

    Finicky setup through Vizio app. Rarely ever works. Other than that, it sounds fantastic. Subwoofer very Boomy out of the box. Rear height channels definitely make an improvement while listening to Atmos/DTS:X content.

    I read a lot of reviews and watched a ton of YouTube video’s on this soundbar and decided to go with a Samsung soundbar. I was disappointed to with sound so I returned it the Vizio Elevate. I’ve not disappointed. The sound is fantastic. The issues other reviewers have, I didn’t get.

    Purchased this while on sale. This is ideal with the new vizio OLED TV as it locks onto the Vizio OLED TV stand. The sound quality and Dolby Atmos effects are amazing. The only negative thing is the smartcast app software is quirky at times

    Beautiful sound system. I didn't believe the reviews when they say it sounds like you're in the movie theater, but boy was I wrong. We received it, installed it ourselves, and watched "Prey" off of Hulu that night. We were suprised at the beautiful clear sounds from all of the speakers (dolby atmos). This was well worth the money and well worth the wait (for it to go on sale). Tip: if it somehow makes voices sound so low and sound effects are loud, its not the speakers but the streaming network. Sometimes I'd watch movies on Netflix and I would have to turn up the volume to hear the voices and turn it down when the effects are loud. I complained to husband and he simply turned down the bass. It takes a lot of tweaking to get it right but when you do, it's not so bad.

    I have been very impressed with this system. The surround sound effects are spot on. The Atmos effects are pretty good too. I had to turn the bass down as it can get overpowering.

    Sound fills the room nicely. Easy setup, with eq controls built into the remote. Wish rear speakers were wireless or at least didnt have a special connector end which is too big to fit through most rear speaker stands. When on sale this is a great value.

    It’s really great when it works, but it has some issues. I have had some instances where the speakers got stuck in the up position, the Dolby Audio latency drifts (it starts out with no noticeable latency, but then after about 30 minutes or more it is very noticeable) which makes gaming almost impossible and movies annoying, it was a hassle to setup with the Vizio app and I have never been able to connect to it again so the smart features are worthless, finally the sound bar seems to be stuck in an update mode because the leds are constantly flashing like it’s updating and it causes it to regularly fail to turn on and off with CEC. Another major complaint is the spoken audio. Since there is no display every time the input changes it audibly tells you what it’s connected to. This setting is very annoying and does not even adjust the volume with your regular volume settings, it is just always loud. I expect more from a flagship model. All that said, when it does work the audio is very clear and good. It is cheaper than most competitors that offer similar features. The moving speakers is a bit gimmicky and is louder than you would expect. They have gotten stuck a few times but generally work fine.

    Sounds great! However for the price there are better systems out there. The rotating speakers on the side of the system went out on me less than a week after owning it. That experience made me realize the gimmick isn’t worth it and to just return the product.
