    Well....... I was optimistic and excited. I felt like I was giving a bad relationship a 3rd go around. Wifi connection issues ✔ auto sync issues ✔ popping and static noise ✔ Hdmi handshake still buggy, sound randomly goes out and then comes back in after about 45 seconds . It does really sound good when it works. Bass is great and voice is a lot better than previous models. I will give it over the weekend to see if Vizio tech support has any other work around besides Power cycle and change hdmi which I have done. Move from a Nakamichi shockwafe no issues.

      Hi Dcruiser - thank you for leaving us a review on the new Elevate sound bar! We appreciate the feedback. For the popping noise, sound bars using eARC, ARC and/or CEC rely on communication between the TV and the Sound bar. While VIZIO tests across a broad array of TVs and manufacturers, signal detection timing can vary between TV models. Some of these timing differences may cause pops or clicks between content changes. VIZIO actively tracks these differences and rolls updates into Firmware updates. We encourage you to connect your VIZIO Elevate to your wireless network to take advantage of these Firmware updates as soon as they are available.

      For any issues, please always contact our customer support team so we can try to troubleshoot. They're always available at support.VIZIO.com via text, chat, email or over the phone. VIZIO

    Very fast delivery. Great price. I had to use a hand dolly to transport it to my second floor apartment because it is very bulky. Excellent packaging. Took about 1 hour to unpack and hook it up. Worked right out of the box. Love the design. The Dolby sound is incredible. Had to reduce the very powerful bass. I have had issues with connecting to WiFi internet though. The Vizio smartcast app is tricky. Otherwise very pleased.

    So far, this is mind blowing! I connected it from the earc and into the ARC Sony X900H TV input and it connected instantly. I added other components to the TV and the sound bar instantly picks them up. The bass is deep and the voice is crisps and clear. I'm not having any issues such as others have mentioned.

    At the full price, I'm not sure that this is worth it, but when it's on sale for $700, I think it is. The soundbar itself is VERY wide. The sound is pretty good, although sometimes the center channel can be a little hollow/tinny for dialogue, this isn't as bad when the volume is up. The subwoofer is a beast, and you may want to turn it down or put it on night mode if your neighbors are close or you have sleeping children upstairs. Overall, I would purchase this again.

    This is a huge step up in quality from my very old soundbar, as the clarity of audio in everything including dialogue is just amazing. The rotating speakers for Dolby Atmos are very cool to watch move, and games that use this on Xbox Series X sound great. I have had some quirks with HDMI handshakes (using eARC) and such it seems where I have had to reboot either the soundbar or TV sometimes to get the sound started back up again, so hopefully Vizio will fix some of this in a firmware update soon.

    Easy to set-up, beautiful and great build quality, crisp vocals and great bass/sub-woofer. Atmos/Dtx works great. Definitely creates a cinema-level sound experience in your home. If you're looking for a higher-end soundbar this one definitely is a great value for the price.

    I purchased this and has improved my surroundsound in the room, takes a little work to adjust it in regards to sound quality- Dolby Atmos is very good I’m still tweaking the sound, but at times I feel that the sound volume drops a little and I find myself raising the volume up or turn it down during the movie. Overall, I am happy with it as it does feel the room and dolby atmos sounds good.

    I am so impressed by the vizio elevate. The audio experience is like nothing I have had the privilege of listening to. I had spent about a month research what I would get and it ultimately came down to the sonos arc and the vizio elevate. I ultimately went with the vizio elevate since it was a more encompassing package. The movie experience it stunning and once you get the subwoofer tamed (I have mine set to 10) the whole system is perfect. I would definitely recommend the vizio elevate for anyone who is looking to upgrade their home theater system.

    If you can get it on sale, it is a bargain. I have had the sound bar for many months and it has never given me any issues. I place the woofer 3 feet away from the sound bar instead of placing it close to where I sit, which is 13 feet away from my 85" Sony X95k. The woofer is super powerful and that's the reason why I keep it far away from me lol. When you put the sound bar on movie mode, somehow the processor can create an impressive surround sound effects even though the content is just 2.1, not 5.1 or Atmos. For example, I was watching some japanese animation and older action movies online that were 100% in stereo format, but somehow the system was able to make the rear speakers handled scenes like a wolf jumped out from the bush, a person was shooting from behind..etc. Instead of having all the speakers produce the same sound, the system let each speaker handle the sound the suppose to make like if it was playing 5.1 or Atmos content. I don't know how that works, but it is awesome. I also listen to music on spotify using the built in app on my tv or i music on my Apple tv 4k, music sounds very very good. Those who say the rear speakers are quiet, they need adjust the level of the rear speakers in order to get the volume they desire. The rear speakers are never meant to sound as loud as the bar, the sound stage will be imbalanced if you tune the rear speakers too loud. In conclusion, I really enjoy using this sound bar to listen to music, to game on my pc, PS5, and Xbox series X , and to watch shows( I used to until I got my 11.2 system with av receiver) I waited for a while to write this review to make sure the sound bar is reliable, and so far it is still working like day one. * One thing I need to mention is that the Atmos effect ( for instance, rains coming down from the sky) works better when I mount the bar above my tv and tilt it toward where I am sitting ( around 15 degree). Since my entertainment room does not have a high ceiling (9.5 feet), the atmos effect is significantly more noticeable when the upfiring speakers are closer to the ceiling.
