    The sound quality is great especially with the satellite surround sound speakers. The Soundbar produces so much sound. Subwoofer has a lot of bass. I highly recommend buying the sound system

    Got this on sale. Great alternative to a simple sound bar or full surround sound system. The subwoofer is loud. Satellites are placed close and work great. This is probably the cheapest way to get 5.1 sound!

    I love it! But, at times the sound fades louder and softer, and sometimes the subwoofer doesn't turn on when you turn on the soundbar/tv... you have to manually push the button on the subwoofer to turn it on when that happens. Also, I still cannot get video going out from the soundbar to the tv so I can play with the settings on the tv screen... all done on the remote with is hard to read on the tiny LCD screen. But overall GREAT sound quality!

    Sound bar has a good clear output but it shuts itself off for no apparent reason. Subwoofer and satellite speakers are only for background sounds not dialogue. So when setting them up you need to have something like an action movie to get the full force. Note: the satellite speakers are pre-paired to the Bluetooth soundbar.

    This system has a huge sound! Very clear and detailed. Set up was fast and the woofer paired to the sound bar quickly. I purchased this system with a Vizio 55” P-Series TV and could not be happier!

    I have had this soundbar system for over a month and couldn't be more pleased. It sounds amazing and works great with my Google Home. I would definitely recommend purchasing this system. It is worth every penny.

    I had the same exact one for a year before this, but it was hit by lightning. Sometimes it gets moody and doesn’t wanna turn on for me, but when she’s on she has great sound especially during movies. Works well with Vizio TV. Last one I had wanted to disconnect all the time, this one doesn’t do that. May have been the tv I had before too. Overall it’s a good choice especially if you are pairing with a TV of the same brand.

    Works perfect with my tv, which isn’t a 4K. I was worried about the quality due to that, but it sounds amazing! Easy to install and the sound customization is pretty nifty.

    I had read a bunch of the reviews before purchasing this item, and I do not regret it at all. This thing sounds amazing, and I am really surprised how big the sound is for how small the unit is. This thing replaced my tower speakers and my receiver with surround sound and everything and I don't notice any difference, in fact, I think the base might actually be a little bit deeper than the 12 inch subwoofers were on my Onkyo speakers. You will not regret this purchase. I had the Sony rep at Best Buy trying to convince me that Vizio is a garbage brand and is the most returned brand, I have always had really good luck with all Vizio products including TVs, speakers Etc, and this thing does not disappoint in the least.

    HIGH QUALITY SOUND AT A LOW PRICE. NEVER LIKED SOUND BARS AND MY SAMSUNG SURROUND WENT OUT. OFF TO THE LOCAL BEST BUY FOR A REPLACEMENT AND THE VIZIO SMART CAST HAD THE BEST SOUND OUT OF ALL OF THEM.

    This system is awesome. The sound is very clear. The setup was very simple. Just make sure you have the HDMI cable plugged into the first HDMI plug(ARC) if you choose to got this route. What is nice about a system like this is that you don’t need to turn the volume up too loud to really hear how nice the TV sounds.
