I listened to soundbars for weeks and this was by far the best sounding soundbar and sub by a long shot. Easy to set up and great sound!

I had a vizio soundbar before this one and it sounded good, but there was hardly any bass to fill the sound. This soundbar is exactly what is needed to complete a great sounding sound bar. Works seamless with my vizio tv and the remote app works great on my iPhone.

The sound is very good and I can increase the volume of spoken works over background music, which is why I purchased this sound system.
Set up, however, is not that easy. The instruction manal is thin and uninformative.

I have never had a sound bar before. This is my first one. I had a little bit of a hard time getting it to sink up. It's good, but sometimes the mouths on the TV don't line up with the sound. It will also kick in and out of service sometimes. Not too big of a hassle.

Such high quality sound from such a little bar! I've yet to turn up the volume even a third of the way & it's perfectly loud for movie nights! Perfect for my apartment & with the amount of power this little bar has, I know it will work just fine for a much larger home family room. The subwoofer is a nice sleek design that can be easily hidden, even fits under the couch! Great price for such high quality!

I purchased the new 2.1 Vizio soundbar system from Best Buy, as I was looking to replace my old wired 5 disc DVD player (massive and old). I bought this one because I wanted to slide the subwoofer under the sofa. Checked around and Best Buy was the only one around who sold it as a 2.1 (soundbar and sub only). Ordered for in-store pick up, brough up, plugged up. First minor snag, sofa was too low so the sub would not fit underneath... bummer, so I put it on the stand, then hooked up the sound bar to the TV via the HDMI cord in the ARC connection. Sounded good, but I had to turn the TV volume off everytime and I felt like the sub was not working. I then plugged the optical connection in and boom it worked. Overall happy with sound and much smaller and takes much less energy than my previous system.
