I like the quality of sound that this soundbar delivers for the price, but it doesn't behave through the ARC port as it should. I have a new Samsung TV. if i turn on the TV, the soundbar doesn't come on like it should, but if the soundbar is on and i turn the TV off, then it turns off as expected. Not sure if this is a setup issue or the soundbar. But otherwise, it is pretty nice. I really like the wireless subwoofer and rear connected speakers. You don't need to wrap cables around the room or buy a wireless adapter.

I'll never go back to TV speakers again. Not only does this soundbar sound amazing, but setup was so easy and the wireless sub/rear speakers keeps my setup looking way cleaner than other 5.1 setups. If you don't have external speakers for your TV, this is the starting point.

We have bought a few sound bars and this one beats them all and it was cheaper than the previous ones by JBL. The 2 separate small speakers give you that surround sound feel with out a bunch of wires or extra prep work. Very easy to set up and am so satisfied with this system

This works well and was easy to set up. Sound is great. We're not playing it really loud because i have sensitive hearing. Also don't have woofer very far from the sound bar because of the room configuration. Back speakers have brackets so you don't have to put in a shelf.

If you are in the market for a powerful sound bar, then this is the one you want. I was comparing this with the Sony CT-390. The Vizio blows the sony out of the water. I hooked it up to my 55 inch Sony 4k TV with no issued. The setup was a breeze. Vizio provides all of the connections and wiring you need. The subwoofer is powerful and will shake the walls. The sound bar along with the rear speakers fill the room with no problem. I barely have to turn the volume up on it to enjoy it. This is an awesome product!

Loving this soundbar system that we paired with a new 70" Vizio TV. It was easy to setup and the sound is awesome. I really like that the subwoofer is wireless and then the small speakers that connect to it work great for our room.

Out of the box, set up instructions were straight forward for my configuration, which utilized a direct connection using the hdmi cable from my tv to the sound bar. The dolby surround sound worked after the no fuss set up. Sounds great! Good value.

The soundbar sounds fantastic. The bass is nice, and the subwoofer compliments nicely. What I hate is the volume. The lowest setting is too low. Once you bump it up one, it becomes loud. Bump it up again and it becomes very loud. Once you bump it up more from there, volume does not change much. I wish it wasn't such a large jump in sound on the lower settings because I want it in between. Volume control is the worst thing about this. As far as the Vizio SmartCast app, it does not work. I have spent multiple hours trying to get it to connect to the soundbar, yet it will not. Watched videos online and did exactly what it shows, yet it still does not work.

I'm an AV professional and have an ear for good sound above "loud noise". I've tested many systems with subs and soundbars. This is by far the best in low end response for them rumbling booming thuds that really impact a show. The high's and mid level responses are very good as well. For the price, imho, you can't find a better system. The bluetooth works great on it as well. The only thing I wished it had was a lighted display for the remote as to see when you're watching a movie in low to no light. Again, you can find heavier hitting systems if you're willing to fork out the bigger bucks. But this is the best you'll find under $450. And it was only $300 'deal ....

Quality of the system is awesome. It's for a secondary set that I wanted to improve the sound and this accomplished the task. Wires for the surround speakers were annoying to hide. The cost for wireless isn't worth it though.

Set-up was very easy and the sound bar connected flawlessly to my Vizio TV. Having the wireless sub-woofer with wired rear speakers made placing the speakers a breeze. The wires to rear speakers are definitely long enough even for a very large room. The bass can be punchy but there is adequate settings to adjust for this. Great product for the value.

Purchased to replace a Samsung home theater in a box that crapped after 2 years, surprised with the sound quality this thing produces, best way to get 5.1 sound with out a high price, and the remote with the input display was a great idea
