Customer Ratings & Reviews

My roommate kept telling me we needed a surround sound system. He was right, I love this Vizio! Budget friendly, easy setup, makes the scary music more intimidating, car crashes louder, and Spotify sounds more enjoyable.

First things first. Oh my god, update the firmware before you do anything. This involves downloading the new firmware from the vizio site (google vizio 51h6 update), putting the update file on a usb drive and the putting the usb drive in the soundbar. If you get a soundbar without the latest firmware already installed as I did, you will not get any sound from any type of input and spend your entire morning troubleshooting why like I did until you finally find an obscure Reddit post from somebody else who had this same issue. There is zero mention of updating the firmware in the instructions and the bar literally will output zero sound (even from bluetooth) until the latest firmware is installed. It was the single most frustrating installation I've ever done and I've done a lot snd am not new to this. Once I got it working, it's a decent, inexpensive soundbar for what it is. So far it is exceeding my expectations. Clear dialogue with decent bass. I'm happy so fay, but my god Vizio, through a slip of paper or something in the box explaining to update the firmware before you get started installing it.

Exceeded my expectations the quality of the sound was great and the sound of the bass was even better. Highly recommend

bery excellent home theater at a very great price. easy set up, they speakers are bery loud and the subwoofer hits hard for a home theater

Wow, I don't even know where to begin on how awesome this set is and what a great value you get for your money. I don't think I've ever had to turn up the volume from the first setting because THE BASS IS SOO BOOMIN MY NEIGHBORS PROBABLY LISTENING WITH ME. the two extra speakers are awesome and make a difference. Definitely the best buy.

The speakers were easy to set up and for my home, the sound is great. We user it for music and TV/projector. Sound quality was an amazing change and even at a low level of sound you get the surround sound feel. I am very happy with my purchase.

For the price you can't beat it. Hooks up very nicely, excellent sound quality and a decent deep bass. Really enjoy watching movies with this system. Does come with very long cables to set up the rear speakers and wall mounts. What would make this system way better is if the rear speakers were wireless.

It is a very nice looking system that has surprisingly great sound. Easy setup. It's not a Bose or other high end system. But for the price, excellent choice. Would recommend this to friends and family. Way better than the TV speakers.

This is the best value for money! Great sound quality at an affordable price. I have it setup with Samsung TV using HDMI ARC and also connected with Amazon Alexa using VA function. It switches between the 2 without any issues and gives a great sound experience. Happy with the purchase.

For the price for any other 5.1 sounds systems this one is best in its price range. It's super easy to set up and with the subwoofer being wireless it makes it really easy to place the 2 speakers behind for the full sound sound effect.

wow, this vizio is a beast, great sound coming from these little rear speakers, which i thought to myself "no way". No its not dolby atmos, but thats fine with me, and the downward firing woofer is awesome. for the price i am more than satisfied, wish i bought this sooner, i thought nothing could beat my LG, biy was i wrong

It’s exactly what I wanted it for and to do. The sound is great and can easily be adjusted. The Bluetooth base speaker can easily be hidden behind a chair and the wires are long enough to go behind the couch where I wanted them for the rear speakers. The rear speakers are small enough to fit on an end table and enough sound to carry through the room. Wouldn’t change anything for the amount they cost.

Once you mess with the settings, this sounds very good. The surround sound is weak when trying to play a first person shooter game, but otherwise this is a great setup for the price. Sounds great with movies and music. Setup was pretty straightforward, but it did not come with screws to mount the speakers on the wall so I had to buy those separate from a hardware store.

The soundbar sounds great. It was affordable and easy to setup. I’ve already told many friends and relatives where to buy and what to buy if they want a similar soundbar.

Sounds great. Easy to pair with other remote. Good price. Needs a few more speakers

This product is excellent especially when you see a movie the sound and the speakers and subwoofer I totally recommend this product you won’t regret

Very easy to setup and awesome sound. Its really loud and bass speaker definitely makes you feel like you're in the movie/game

Easy to set up and spectacular sounds, and lots of different configuration options. Would definitely recommend this setup for anyone looking for a simple to use surround sound system for home use.

I upgraded my old Sony soundbar to this Vizio one I seen on the Best Buy app. Let me tell you BEST DECISION EVER MADE for sounds. Man this speaker is so clear with dialog and the BASS IS MAGNIFICENT. Stream YouTube/Music and you will feel the joy it produces out. Good surround sound also. Great value for the price especially while it's on sale.

I am extremely happy! My 10 year old LG 5.1 died so I needed a replacement. I wasn't expecting it to sound so good for the price. The rear speakers are small and really sound good. The box and parts are labeled so well and setup is an absolute breeze. I highly recommend this!
