No, I would not recommend this to a friend Great Soundbar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this soundbar to go along with my new Vizio 4K TV. The soundbar sounds great but I feel the subwoofer adds a little too much bass.
I would recommend this to a friendImproved TV sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great improvement over the TV speakers. For some reason, my LG TV switches from the Vizio speakers back to TV speakers every once in a while.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat for my grandson's first setup
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My grandson really loves this. we were going to buy a lower-quality one on Amazon but then found this one which is about $50 more and decided on it. Seem to be better quality which he now agrees because he loves this.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Soundbar for bed room
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this soundbar for its low profile subwoofer. Fits perfectly under a bed. I'm happy with sound quality. Mids and highs are loud a clear.
I would recommend this to a friendNice Bar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Matches great with our new TV nice style. Only thing you need to do is plug everything in and adjust the bass to your prefrence and enjoy.
I would recommend this to a friendSoundbar quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think for the price maybe I should have gone with the competition. Small sound for small speakers. If you are an audiophile stay away, no way to control the outputs effectively. If you want theater sound in a 20x14 room, this is not for you. Visio TV often pairs with arc HDMI with a lag that looks like Japanese voiceover movies. Overall 2 thumbs down. Don't have high expectations from this soundbar. I often find myself turning volume down to use the TV speakers. Would probably be cool for a dorm room though with the flat woofer. Woofer is not responsive at all ranges, so for 350 that I paid I should have bought an onkyo receiver and saved up for decent speakers.

||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundboard abs subwoofer are amazing! Easy to install and high quality. The only complaint is that I can’t get it to run off my tv remote, so I’m always dealing with 2 remotes.
I would recommend this to a friend3.1 VIzio soundbar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i purchased this when i bought my new display for my living room set it up but honestly it was missing the two back speaker to complete the 5.1 set up. it was just sound from the front but it wasn't a fully immersive sound if you have a bedroom or small room i thing it will work great but for a living room with your main tv pay more for the 5.1 system. still sounds great and is super easy to set up
