Awful sound
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible sound. The bass was not very "bassy" and the sound was flat and not pleasant at all.

Posted .Hello BBShopper, VIZIO’s Sound Bar audio systems are designed to give you a realistic theater experience. You should hear the bass rumble during explosions, planes flying, earthquakes, action scenes, and anything that would normally have a deep tone. You may not get these tones when watching something like a sitcom or the nightly news. If you have a VIZIO television there is a channel on the ‘Watchfree’ service that plays action movies with no subscription or rental fee, this might be a good place to find some content to test your sound bars limits. If you are already watching content that should be giving you bass, visit support.VIZIO.com and click on ‘Contact Us’. We’ve got agents ready to chat, text message, or speak with you on the phone to adjust settings and help optimize your sound bar.

Great product
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound and performance from this setup is incredible, I can hear everything without too much of one thing (bass, treble ect) I can watch a movie or play games without having to always adjust the volume, also if I wanted the sub will rattle the house and still be crisp!

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received my vizio sound bar and speakers today with only one power cable .

Posted .Hello mag243, our apologies that your sound bar didn't come with a second power cord. If you purchased it from a 3rd party re seller, it's possible that something happened to remove the accessories that was outside of our control. If you could contact our customer service team at 855-833-3221, we'd be happy to see if we can get you another power cord.
Speakers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The small speakers don't say words just sounds. Doesn't make any sense what's the point of speakers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from VIZIO
Posted .Hello Helen, thank you for taking time to let us know what's going on! The rear speakers in a surround sound system are used for music, directional audio like a car or air plane passing from one side to another, or for environmental noises like maybe a beeping button. The dialog audio typically comes from your front speakers. If you are having difficulty hearing dialog audio, I would recommend to leave the rear speakers at factory settings and increase your center settings. It could also help to adjust your surround settings and your volume leveling settings. If you have any questions or need any assistance, we are available through text message, chat, or over the phone. Just go to support.VIZIO.com and click on ‘Contact Us’.

Very good.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best beginning surround bar system for the price. All included except the stand for the small speakers. Very easy to set up and the remote is very good u can see in the dark what u want to set up. The subwoofer have powerful bass! You can find better or much better system way more expensive, but what Vizio give you for this price I doubt you can beat it.

GOOD SOUND SYSTEM, LACKING UPGRADES SAME AS 2010
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good sound system that will create an immersive experience. Nothing outstanding, but everything is there. This appears to be a refresh of S3851X-C4. Same remote style, same programming, better sound. The reason for 3 stars is there isn't a lot of innovation or extra value; but this is $70 cheaper then the old 5.1 systems. Pros: -Deep bass, sounds like a movie theater -decent highs -Immersive sound, changes entire experience -Price Cons: -Lacking mids (not to noticeable if you turn the bass up a bit, not to be confused with sub-woofer) -Preset rear surround is way to low. For the best experience you need to adjust the rear surround up to 1/2 levels from the top. -Still doing the same old thing. I wish a manufacture would sell a soundbar/sub package with modular speakers that you can add. Integrate a 150W amp into the sub. Most people don't want a big receiver, which is why they opt for sound bars. This way we could get away from all these crappy surround speakers that seem like they are from 2010. I would gladly opt for something modular at a higher price point, because I could buy over time at a higher price. I have looked at systems from manufactures like Polk, which look the part and are modular, but the sound is lacking because there is no amp for the speakers in the sub or soundbar.

Excellent Affordable Sound System
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the absolute best sound bar system you can buy for the money. It was very easy to setup and really changed my movies/show experience. The side speakers are just a bit quieter than I’d like. Overall extremely pleased, and great value.
