I knew I wanted a soundbar but wasnt sure which one. This one does not automatically connect to wifi. It still uses an ethernet cable so be aware! The good thing is that it can connect to Bluetooth.

Works great, sounds good for a basic soundbar. I use the soundbar to help hear conversations, and don't even plug in the subwoofer. I use the arc connection, with no issues with my p50-c1 tv.

I've been very pleased with the performance of the soundbar. It requires some tweaking of the settings and that can be difficult, however the sound is as good as many other higher priced soundbars.

Great sound and the woofer is great for a lot of "bottom. The center speaker really bring out voices so they aren't lost among the other sound.
Definitely the right purchase with the TV.

When I saw the price and the 3.1 channel I thought it was a good deal, with that being said I already have a Sony sound bar at the time of this purchase , needed another one for one more room, purchased the Vizio, have them together to compare and the vizio has an amazing sound but at high volume it sounds a little bit distortionated. Other wise it's ok system, returned to the store, kept the Sony.

Should have gotten the 5.1 version (again)

A while back, I purchased an almost identical set that came with two surround speakers. That one performed well enough that I decided to purchase another soundbar for the other room. The space I put it in didn't really NEED surround sound, so I opted to save a few bucks and get the 3.1 version instead. I'm not sure if the quality isn't the same on this revision, or if the lack of surround speakers really makes that big of a difference, but this set sounds remarkably hollow compared to the 5.1 set. It's still better than the TV speakers, but if I had to do it over, I'd get the surround model (again).

Sound Quality Excellent, Functionally A Little Odd

I listened to all available units in the store, decided to go with a 3.1 unit instead of 2.1, the center channel makes a significant difference in the sound quality, especially voices/conversations. It functions oddly in that, when you start up the TV, the system defaults to TV speakers and then automatically switches to the sound bar (most of the time.) It occasionally gets "stuck" on TV speakers and I need to manually reset the TV for external speakers. The all-black design blends in well, almost makes the unit invisible, and the subwoofer is compact and wireless and packs a lot of punch for the size.

I gave it 4 stars because for some reason the sound bar disconnects itself once in a while and have a problem reconnecting it but other then that great sound system.

Our Bose bit the dust. So, I bought this Vizio 38" soundbar system with subwoofer. It is perfect in size and sound. Excellent volume. Also has a mid range. Awesome!

As far as sound goes it's great! The only negative I'm having is it takes a second to start and I can't get the Vizio app too work. Other than that I love it.

Great sound and easy set up = 5 stars. The only annoyance was that the batteries that came with the remote didn't work. That being said, I still give it 5 stars.
