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.

Sounds good but not user friendly
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second Vizio sound bar. I thought it would be seamless to connect other devices through blue tooth but it isn’t. The subwoofer is very thin which is nice for hiding it under furniture.

Best soundbar and subwoofer under 200$
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to complement my new 65 inch 4k Vizio TV. I work in electronics myself with brands like bose, jbl, shure ect... I didn't know what to expect from this soundbar but I was blown away. Completely fills the room with a full dynamic sound. The sub rumbles during actions scenes and gives you a great tv watching experience.I cant go back to regular tv speakers again.

Good Sound, pairing issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound for the price. However, I find it annoying that the sub-woofer needs to be paired with the bar almost every time I turn it on. Pairing doesn't happen on the first try. Most of the time it takes multiple tries to pair up.

Nice Sound, but setting up needed Support
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm sort of techy so this should not have been a problem setting up, which it wasn't. Unfortunately, all the directions need to get it up and working with a Vizio TV were absent. Once I had support on the line and gave him the model numbers it only took a short time for him to provide the direction to get it to work. So, if you buy this, plan on setting it up and calling support to get it working.

I would recommend this to a friend Great purchase !
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great purchase, couldn’t be happier with it, never used a sound system whatsoever besides the tv speakers, and wow, the difference it makes is huge, great for dialogues and great subwoofer. The only tricky part was to get it in sync with the dialogue, but just updated the firmware and it took care of it. Overall great product and specially for the price. Would def recommend.

Great quality Sound System

Awesome bass for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bass is the best thing about it for the price. The sound bar volume can be louder. The bass and treble could have a more clear defintion. It muffles a bit when gets above half but overall im satisfied for what I got.

Best for your bucks!!

I would recommend this to a friend Paired with Visio TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this thinking it would work smoothly with my Visio 4K smart TV. Not really.Cannot get the sound bar to turn on with the TV. Nope. No matter how on power up the TV, with Time Warner remote or the Visio remote, the sound bar will not power up unless I either use the sound bar remote or if I use the volume up or down on any remote, it will power up. Weird! And the sound bar will shut off on its own. Called Vizio technical and they couldn't figure it out. I will consider taking it back now. Sound quality is ok.

Posted .Thanks for taking the time to fill out a review and give us some feedback. If your television has HDMI ARC port you could connect the Sound Bar to the TV with ARC. ARC uses a technology called CEC that will tell the Sound Bar to power on when the TV powers on. If you're unable to use ARC, this Sound Bar also has an Eco Mode feature witch powers off the Sound Bar after its inactive for a period of time. So if a TV has been powered off- the Sound Bar will also power off. You can disable this so that your Sound Bar will stay powered on and ready to play audio.

I would recommend this to a friend Good Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Casting doesn't always work the way I'd hoped. The source switches to cast on the device but no sound comes out. I have to mess with the settings to get it to work sometimes. Connection is spotty.
I would recommend this to a friendLove it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound from such a small system is incredible. I don't have cords all over the place which I love. I have the sound bar mounted under my TV and the subwoofer 6 feet away under my couch and its awesome. I get a real cinema experience in my home, love it! Only downside is my dog can't take the noise it makes her nervous especially actions movies.
