Customer Ratings & Reviews

Was really easy to set up. Really love the sound. We tested a few others in the store and found that for the price this one gave the best sound.

I usually read reviews before making a purchase, but have never written one. My Vizio S4251w-B4 Soundbar was the best purchase I made for Christmas. I wanted a good system, and avoid crawling through my attic to run audio wires. The sound is amazing. Set up time was about 20 min, and all audio cables are included regardless of the type of tv you have.

The look and feel of the whole product is good. The sound is pretty crisp and it was easy to install. The subwoofer gives great sound and thump for low frequencies. Overall it gives you the value for your money. My only concern is with the remote controller. This product will be mostly used when the lights in the room are turned down to get the most immersive experience. However, Vizio decided not to backlit the small LCD panel on top of the remote ... WHY??? This tiny feature that Vizio overlooked is the biggest inconvenience to all the customers. Vizio if you ever realize this and decide to come up with a backlit remote controller, please send me one. That was the only reason for giving this product a 3 rating. Otherwise it is definitely above 4.

I'm blown away by the performance of this system! It was so easy to configure, my girlfriend, my dad and her mom all were able to connect devices to it via bluetooth with minimal instruction. That's huge! The bass is rich and the highs are clean at extreme volume. Love it!

I thought I would give this a chance because I love Vizio products. I bought this on sale for $249.99 and for the price I payed I'm very happy.I put it in my man cave to have during sports events I also love the bluetooth I use it to stream music from my galaxy s5 and the sound is awesome I love it and I would recommend it to anyone

This is a very good system especially for the price. The subwoofer is very respnsive and doesn't lose connection(have it about 15 feet away from soundbar). Non surround signals make it sound kind of boxy, but for the most part, it's a great sounding system for a smaller room. Way better than any 2.1 soundbar I have heard thus far.

I bought this for my parents Vizio smart tv. The tv's user manual recommended this soundbar system. I set it up easily. To clarify the "wireless,", the subwoofer is not connected to the TV by a cord, just bluetooth. However, the subwoofer still needs to be plugged into a electric outlet. The two satellite speakers are connected to the subwoofer. The soundbar is connected to the tv and comes with several types of connections. For the price, I would recommend. CONS: The satellite speakers and subwoofer are just ok. They are good for pairing with your phone and listening to music but not that noticeable with a movie or tv. The soundbar is a hit or miss. Sure it can get loud, but when just watching tv at night when everyone is asleep, it feels like it is missing a middle level on the quieter end of the range. Sometimes it's too loud and at other times too quiet. I sometimes turn it all off and just use the tv speakers at night.

I like the fact that the rear speakers and sub woofer are wireless. Wireless means I have less cables running all over the place and I don't have to try and conceal them. I figured there would be sound quality issues due to the wireless, but the sound was great and you couldn't hear any crackling or such. The sound quality may not be the best out there but for the price I paid, I think it's phenomenal. I've had the product for a while now and am extremely satisfied with it. I would recommend this product to anyone that is on a budget and wants bang for their buck. Hope this helps decide.

After my Bose Cinemate system crapped out after 7 years, I decided to branch out into the soundbar market to see what all the fuss was about and as it turns out sometimes items are worth the hype. The Vizio S4251 delivers a quality sound experience at an affordable price. While the Vizio does not deliver the booming, perfectly balanced level of room filling decibels that the Bose did it does provide (with satellite speakers and subwoofer centered behind you) a movie theater experience of surround sound effects when watching movies that have Dolby Digital DTS. I watched the LOTR trilogy and was very impressed with the sound output, although watching TV wasn't so great and I had to turn the subwoofer and satellite speakers off in order to enjoy the center speaker.

The sound bar gave more quality sound than I ever expected. I would tell anyone to spend a little more to get the sub woofer. It sounds wonderful

I've always wanted this particular soundbar since I own a Vizio m series smart tv , they are a perfect match. Aside from looking nice the sound delivered is awesome , if you have and average to large sized room this system is more than enough to suite your needs . The satellite speakers and wireless subwoofer are great and add an emmersive experience giving you true dobly 5.1 surround and the remote is great with its lcd screen to help you easily navigate thru all the options and there are plenty you can adjust the sound to your liking whether your watching a movie , show or listening to music . Honestly this is a exceptional sound bar for the price and Ill bet you won't be able to find a oneof equal quality for the price ! Vizio is taking over the tv / home theater market

I just adore my Sound Bar! It creates the most Awesome sound quality. It is just like being in a Theater. I Love it and it goes well with my 60" Vizio TV! It was well worth the money and I really am glad that I purchased it

The system provides good value for approximately $300. I think you would have to spend at least twice that to obtain a system that would have noticeably better sound quality. Do not be put off by the Vizio brand name. My initial thought that Vizio would not make a quality sound system, but I was wrong. The system is easy to set up.

The Soundbar system sounds superb!! The wireless connectivity to the subwoofer is great! Also, the ability to connect a smartphone via bluetooth to play music. The sound quality feels like you are at the theater.

I was able to eliminate the wires going across the room from the front to the back without sacrificing sound. The rear speakers connect to the subwoofer. I was also able to sync my iPhone very easily. So far so good!

Amazing system for the money. I'm not an audiophile so this (to me) sounds just as good as any $1500+ system, and it is much easier to install. I can crank the sound up louder than I would ever need without any distortion. Set up was easy. Great product. Only complaint would be that the low volumes are still too loud, for those cases when you want to have the tv on as background noise when talking or napping, etc.

It wasn't the brand I was looking for at the time but I bought it and I love the sound in my living room its great especially for spurs basketball games :) I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for good quality for not such a high price. Thanks bestbuy.

Great product and overall value. System gives big sound for a relatively small price and it will be playing within minutes of unpacking. Very easy and clear setup, includes mounting brackets for rear speakers. Sounds great. Ordered online and had it shipped to my house. Only suggestion would be packaging or delivery. The VIZIO box with photos and description of contents was not wrapped and with mail & package theft, would have been left on front porch making for an incredibly easy target to be stolen with standard delivery.

I bought a new 50" Visio Smart TV. Sound was horrible. I didn't want to pay a lot of money for a sound system. This one was on sale and it is awesome. I can also play music off my iPhone with it, I bet my neighbors windows were shaking!!

Good quality surround sound system. The wireless subwoofer and rear speakers was a selling feature for me. Multiple input connections is a plus. Bluetooth connection-sound fades in and out: direct AUX connection is recommended. It would be nice for the remote programming to function for all types of remotes.
