    This unit is impressive. Great sound and hits hard. Don't let the small sub sway you, it has a deep hard bass to it. This unit is so loud my neighbors have had to come to my house to tell me to turn it down!

    Aside from a little confusion setting it up to work with ARC, and finding the right input number, the ease of use and quality of sound is really impressive for the price point. Would highly recommend!

    I have had several wired sound systems in the past but wanted something a bit more versatile to move around and set up easier. I was very much pleased when I hear the great sound coming from the system.

    The sound from this is better than our old stereo that had huge speakers. The sound is clear, the bass amazing and the bluetooth ability is fun. This system is better than we thought it would be.

    This sound bar was simple to set up and really provides great sound from my Vizio TV. The wireless rear speakers are exactly what we needed so there are no wires running across the entire room.

    Great value for the price you pay for this soundbar system with sub-woofer. Friends bought the same system as well during the thanksgiving deal. Clean crisp sound without paying the big bucks.

    Originally bought the Vizio 3.1 system which sounded really good but wanted a 5.1 system. Fantastic sound. Plenty of adjustments to sound with remote. Very happy with system.

    The wireless rear speakers are definitely a plus. The sound is great. Only impediment I can find is that it wouldn't synchronize well with my Samsung 4K smart tv to use the ARC connection.

    Set this up under my 55" vizio tv and got rid of the tangles wires and 5.1 receiver. No regrets! This is substantially clearer and better, at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended

    Compared this system to LG and Samsung 2.1 systems in the same price range. This VIZIO 5.1 system sounded much better. You get a big benefit from 5.1. Really happy with the purchase

    If you want sound like the movie theatre, go with the higher level unit that has the large flat sub-woofer. It is amazing. this one works pretty good in the bedroom.

    It was a little confusing to connect to my Vizio E-55 class TV. Don't be cocky. Read the directions and follow them. Setup ended up taking me over 2 hrs. Works great
