Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the SmartCast™ 3.1-Channel Soundbar System's sound quality, with many praising its unexpectedly great sound despite its compact size. The subwoofer is also a hit, with users appreciating the strong bass it delivers. Setup is a breeze, and the price point is seen as excellent for the value offered. On the downside, some users have experienced connectivity issues, particularly with Bluetooth, and there have been complaints about the remote control not functioning properly.

    Especially considering how insanely sleek it is. The subwoofer is very impressive too considering it's practically invisible!!

    Not a movie theater sound system but nonetheless it sounds amazing! The sound bar is loud and the wireless sub packs a lot of bass for its size.

    fills a medium lounge room with sound. easy to connect. more precision with EQ control would be great as sometimes the bass and/or subwoofer is overbearing and you cant quite tweak it. the best I can do there is use 2 remotes - the TV and Visio, to adjust at slightly differing intervals.

    The number of inputs on this soundbar is great. The remote allows for you to easily customize your experience and you can test for sound feedback should anything sound like it is off. I coupled this system with another smartcast device and my friends like that we can send music to the soundbar/subwoofer while the tv is playing separately.

    I bought this system after seeing all the reviews it had. I should've read the reviews before purchasing it, however I got it on sale. The set up was easy. The sound was decent. It only has 3 sound fields, but it mostly sounded like it was playing out of can or a tunnel. The biggest drawback is that it'll disconnect from your phone without any notice, and it's hard to reconnect. You can't play your music from Google Play like it claimed it could. So I play it from my Amazon Music. I would not recommend this soundbar and I would take it back if I hadn't got rid of the box it came in.

    Great value for the money would buy this product again also the design of the subwoofer gives more options for concealment than traditional ones that usually come with speaker bars since you can locate this one under a couch or recliner or elsewhere

    It works ok. I’m not super pleased with it. When it does work it’s great but I’ve found with certain channels the sound doesn’t work or keeps cutting out. For example with ESPN I can watch any game just fine but when half time comes on the sound cuts out and you can’t hear anything until the game comes back on or you shut off the sound bar

    I researched many soundbars and selected this one. We wanted good sound projected from the front of the Sony TV. This one does a great job.

    I am an average listener, not a high-end enthusiast. That being said, this soundbar sounds great! Exactly what I was hoping for, actually more. The subwoofer sounds amazing, especially when you consider it’s flat. I’ve got the sub sitting under my couch. The bar mounts easily with the included template (though there are stands as well if you want). There’s enough room, once mounted to the wall, to run wires behind the bar up to the TV as well. The remotes pretty straight forward and it also works well with my Smartcast remote from my TV.

    Soundbar length matches up nicely with the 65" Vizio. Wireless sub syncs up with out any issue and sound is very good for a sound bar setup.
