Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have a very large living room with high vaulted ceilings. The sound on this system is tremendous! Very easy to install. I’ve purchased and returned several sets of hearing aids because when someone’s talking on tv and there’s music playing in the background, it all just becomes noise. The Sonos Arc voice enhancement solved that problem. So happy with this purchase.

This Vizio 5.1 soundbar replaces an entry-level Samsung 2.1 soundbar that's over 10 years old. I've been using it for about a week, and the Vizio soundbar is a very noticeable improvement over the older Samsung. I was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the Samsung's ability to render dialog clearly, which is the primary reason for my Vizio purchase. The Vizio is much better with dialog, and produces a very good sound stage overall, especially considering that it doesn't support Dolby Atmos. But I knew that going in, so I gladly accepted this limitation in exchange for better affordability. The only negatives I would mention are: (1) The sound is sometimes perceptibly delayed behind the video. This effect has been very inconsistent, and appears infrequently (not more than one out of ten power-on cycles). The delay is occasionally enough to be a distraction -- at least a half second. I've discovered that a power-off/power-on cycle usually fixes this issue, but it's annoying when it happens. I updated to the latest firmware version (2.1.1.3), but that didn't help. (2) After applying the firmware update, the volume level is now very different depending on which TV input I've selected. This is not a serious issue, but it's annoying to have to adjust the volume level just because I switched from a streaming service to my cable box. I tried turning on the "TruVolume" feature, which is a sound leveler, but that didn't address this issue. Looks like I'll just have to live with it. In general, I think this soundbar was a good buy, and I would recommend it to a friend.

Sounded great out of the box - easy setup, easy installation. The sound bar did begin to malfunction approximately 3 weeks after I purchased it (just outside of Best Buy’s return period). The problem was hardware based and stemmed from Vizio, not Best Buy. This is being dealt with by Vizio’s warranty department which has been an easy process. While it was working properly, the bass was good, the sound bar had a great dynamic range, and the satellite speakers provided a full sound stage. I am looking forward to getting my replacement so I can enjoy it again.

Sounds great and good price.Cant beat it good value and easy setup.

I originally purchased a different soundbar and immediately returned it and purchased this one. It is awesome and was so easy to setup! We love watching movies and listening to music with this soundbar! It makes our Livingroom sound and feel like a theater!

This soundbar is amazing. It sounds better than the samsung Q60T I tried before it. Amazing sound and deep bass! Great value.

Great sound. Simple setup. Highly recommend. Great control for bass and treble. The night mode was a great surprise.

Very easy to set-up. The wireless feature makes what little cords there are very easy to hide. The sound quality is superb for the price. I am a fan of music or movies with a bass that can pack a punch, and let me tell you, this sub does not fail to deliver. Having the speakers in the orientation recommended by Vizio is the key. With the sub next to the couch you are sitting on, you will definitely feel as the T-Rex stomps about in Jurassic Park. Would buy again.

If you're looking to upgrade your TV speakers, your best bet is to grab a great soundbar. While you can get some amazing soundbars for upwards of $500, I'm guessing most people don't want to pay more for their soundbar than they did for their TV. With the V51-H6, you're getting a lot for just a couple hundred bucks: not just a solid soundbar and a robust subwoofer, but surround speakers too. This soundbar gives you the opportunity to immerse your living room in quality audio without making a huge investment.

Excellent 5.1 surround sound speakers with an easy to use remote to change/adjust sound settings. Was a xmas gift that I didn't think was necessary since I had a vizio 2.1. Having first used it to watch The Mandalorian season 2 episode 8 and, wow, while the episode was truly epic, I feel this 5.1 brought the experience to an entirely another level (almost theater-like). Have it connected via hdmi arc to a 55" lg and no issues with connection or quality. Highly recommend.

Purchased this to replace a piece of junk LG 4.1 version that kept cutting out the back speakers. OHHHH BUDDY am I glad I did. My rear speakers no longer cut out! Sound and bass are amazing! Quality of the wires, cords and speakers are great! I set this up originally on my old 1080 TV and it was amazing but now that I upgraded to the Vizio M Series to watch these products work together! Movie night with the family is an experience. I wonder if the neighbors hear the movie :)

Good product and great value for money. Purchased this after returning a Samsung S60B all in one soundbar. This one has the firepower to fill up the room with decent enough base. I did hear some static from the satellite speakers - but not sure if it was due to the content I was playing.

I have been using this product for little over a year and i cannot tell in words how much it makes my movie experience even better. Sound quality is amazing, surround speaker could be better, but for a medium size room, it shouldn’t be an issue. Overall for this price range, its definitely a product worth considering.

For the price this item has great sound. This is great for apartment or small area. Easy to hookup.I bought a second for my girlfriend. It has many features to adjust the sound to you liking. If your are a big bass fanatic then does the job but not super low frequency.

I bought this system to replace an older 5.1 Vizio system that started failing after 6 or 7 years of ownership. This system sounds equivalent to my older system, which is good because I really liked the old system. The remote has been vastly improved however. It is much more responsive and has a backlit screen. I have found that the configuration I like best is to have VirtualX processing off and TruVol on. VirtualX heavily amplified the sound sent to the rear speakers in a way that I didn’t like. The sound from the front is nice and clear and the bass response is very good.

Replaced an older lg soundbar to get better sound. This was a great value, lots of sound and good bass. Easy to setup.

The soundbar has really good audio. The subwoofer has a really good base. It can get really loud.

Nice unit for the price. Remote has many level adjustment options. Good bass and surround sound.

I ABSOLUTELY love this little system. I recently moved and used to have a man cave (converted 1 car garage) with a decent Yamaha 5.1 system with dedicated Front (L/R), Rear (L/R), Center channel and subwoofer. And that was more than enough for me. After the move I was stuck to listening to TV speakers in a bedroom. Yuck! I couldn't stand it anymore and purchased this little VIZIO 5.1 system. I've never been a fan of sound bars but with this system having Rear surrounds with Sub I gave it a shot. I was blown away! I mean I know I'm comparing this to TV speakers but WOW. Now I'm satisfied with the sounds I'm getting from watching TV shows, movies or playing on the PS5. I even convinced a friend to purchase one for his small office/man cave and he is extremely satisfied as well. He even went as far as splitting the signal to one of the rear speakers into a separate amp then into a bass shaker built into his theater seat. And it all worked perfectly! You won't be disappointed.

Quick and easy. Had the TV off. Placed the speakers. Put the hdmi cable in the hdmi arc on TV. Turned on TV and surround sound and automatically connected. Easy to use. Good sound. Love the Bluetooth connect ability. Everything synced without doing anything.
