    The sound from this bar is very good. My tv's sound was going out and this bar does a very good job. I can hear everything on the tv now.

    I purchased this as a gift for my husband because he enjoyed the one our son has. The sound is fantastic, as though you are in a movie theater.

    Like the intergration with my Vizio tv. Sounds just as good as my 2.1 Vizio sound bar and sub. Space the money and go with that of you can.

    Bought this soundbar for price, brand (matched my TV), and other reviews and I couldn't be any happier with the purchase! My only minor complaint is that the subwoofer can really kick out some sound but that has more with current room placement I think than the product and it is a very minor detail as it can be easily turned off when not needed. Solid buy at this price point! Even better that every cable I could have needed was in the box.

    Vizio continues to provide the best value for money. I am always amazed how much more competitors charge for products that are similarly speced.

    Little pricey but the sound is pretty good and integration with Vizio tv is great. Good bass and good sound but do your self a favor and save money on a 2.1 channel with a sub. I have the 2.1 Vizio onmy other tv and there is no recognizable difference beside the extra 100 plus dollars.

    We initially bought a cheaper unit that was only 2 channels of audio, and wound up returning it because all we accomplished was making everything louder. This unit, with it's 3 channels, is perfect for the room it's in. The third channel and controls allow me to balance the sound properly and be able to understand movie dialog without blowing out the neighbors in my condo. I have had a couple of issues connecting via the phone app, but I am able to use both the tv feed and BlueTooth from my phone.

    Although this soundbar has great sound I returned it for the 5.1 version which also has great sound just adding 2 rear speakers.

    Good quality of sound and the sub is awesome. I turned it on and it sounded like someone was standing in the room playing a bass guitar.

    This thing is awesome. I bought it because it is a Vizio which matches my TV. When I use any remote that I use for the TV, it also adjusts the sound on the sound bar. The sound quality is amazing. Love it to add more sound to my living room. Much better than the sound on the TV alone when watching movies.

    Read previous reviews that were positive mostly so I purchased I have had this for at least six months and the only issue I have had is just a few times when I turned on the TV and the speakers got no sound but as soon as I restarted everything work fine. Also in settings, Vizio TV remote is for all tv remote not just Vizio TV remotes it was confusing verbage when I setup sound system with tv remote didn't realize you could make any remote compatible because it said Vizio remote.

    The picture and sound quality were great. Downloading and setting up the app was a bit of a pain and it took me a minute to figure out how to watch my cable without the thing trying to link with the app on my tablet. The only thing I didn't really like was having to do my settings through the app instead of directly with the unit. I don't need my tv constantly connected to the web as I have a gaming system hooked to it that is already connected and it has all the links my tv does.
