Great features, good sound

Excellent Soundbar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've trusted Vizio brand for years, no let down with this product. Installation super easy. Very inexpensive way to install surround sound. Wireless speakers and sub-woofer work great, provide rich sound when watching movies.

Good sound for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Being not a professional sound fan, this soundbar fit my requirement. Very easy to set up. Like others have said, the remote light can be brighter. The sound volume is more than enough for my great room where the TV is. Overall fair good value for the money and performance.

Awesome
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to improve dialogue watching TV. Has center channel that you can increase dialogue making it so much easier to follow shows. You can increase volume individually/separately by channel. Bass is great. 100 DB output. Got it on sale for $179.99. Can't go wrong.

Great Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound bar sounds fantastic - the only problem is I have it hooked up to my 70" 4K Visio and the sound bar disconnects from time to time causing the TV to mute. Then you have to go back into HDMI 1 - reset the sound bar and then it starts working again.

Great for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, it's a great sound bar for the price. Gives a good replication of 5.1 surround w/o the receiver and the wires to run. Not impressed by the irregular connection from the HDMI arc, and it only had 1 HDMI in/out. For the price, I'd expect more.

Works real well with my 4K UHD environment
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was added to a 4K UHD Sony TV along with a Panasonic DMP UB900 disk player both units installed with no issues. Good instruction. The 5.1 sound is a huge improvement over the internal speakers from the TV.

Good quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We first bought a surround sound from another store, didn't like the quality so we returned it. As soon as we went to Best Buy we saw what we wanted and the quality was well worth the price. We were satisfied.

Great System for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace my LG BluRay,DVD,FM receiver surround sound system. This Vizio 5.1 surround sound blows the old system out the door. Music sound great, bass is awesome and clarity is clear. Movies & TV are so much better listening thru the Vizio.

Perfect!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my husband for Christmas, which is the only bad part of the purchase. It shipped in the original packaging and he saw it since it was left on the porch! What happened to the days of brown box shipping? The product itself works great!

Sound quality is great!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This system was fairly easy to install, I love the wireless connection between the sound bar and the other speakers. It allows me to put them behind the sitting area for the surround sound. It connects easily with bluetooth to any of our devices.

Remarkable wired speaker set up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The power in this speaker set up is remarkable. The bass booms pleasantly to kick up action scenes and the rear speakers emphasize special effects and ambience. Everyone who stops by for entertainment comments on how fantastic movies sound.

Great sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has a very nice sound except the subwoofer could be louder, it didn't seem to make much difference than just soundbar working. Also here was no way to adjust bass and treble.

Works like a charm Sound is great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the 3.1 unit but the sub woofer died for some reason, thank got i bought the warranty plan. So I found this unit at a great price and you matched it so I bought this one. The satellite speakers work great as does the bass, great unit.

Great wireless soundbar system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i love my soundbar system. the fact that I do not have to look at the jumbled wire mess from my last system is enough. Great sound and very easy to use. I love the nighttime mode that turns the base down with just a touch of a button

My 1st soundbar and it's great !
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm hard of hearing and I watch late night TV. I can keep the volume low and still hear the sound just fine. I was not aware that all TV shows did not have surround sound, but one quick and easy call to customer service fixed that.
