    Nice entry level 3.1 sound bar but don't even waste your time with the pathetic Viso app.

    Set up was easy. The sound quality is absolutely impressive! It sounds like watching a movie in a theatre! Paired this with my 4K Vizio tv.

    If you are looking for quality sound that easily transitions between TV and Bluetooth, and sounds great, with a subwoofer, this does the job

    I was skeptical at first but once I got it out of the box and all set up this thing produces some serious sound. Would purchase again.

    I bought this TV a year and a half ago and it worked fine for about 4 months when the back light started malfunctioning. Due mostly to my work travel schedule, it took a few months to send it to the Hinsense service center (approx. 10 mi. from my home, but have to ship it, cannot drop it off). I received the TV back, unboxed, plugged it in, and now did not work at all. Again, due to my work travel schedule, it took a few months to contact customer service. I received another shipping packet to send the TV back again only after an email stating my receipt was too faded to read, but they would look at the TV as a courtesy. I found this to be utterly ridiculous since they already had the TV for the original repair which they didn't even fix. I have asked them to refer to the original claim, but they have said they can't because it has already been closed out. I spent a month or so trying to somehow get another copy of my receipt with no success. I emailed Hisense customer service several times and now not getting any response at all. $750 for a TV to sit in a box...was it worth it? I think not.

    Easy to put together and use. Heavy base sometimes to much. Feel it through the house. Still playing with it to get the best sound.

    It was unreliable and had difficult working with tv and components. Had to return for being defective. Second one seems ok.

    The amount of sound that comes out of this blows my mind, amazing quality, crisp sound, and sub that hits surprisingly well.

    This soundbar sounds great. You can adjust the volume level on the subwoofer so that the bass doesn't get overpowering.

    Bought this as a Christmas present for my parents. The sound, especially the subwoofer, is powerful for its size.
