Easy set up, great sound system for the money, rear speakers have enough wire leads to reach the corners of almost any room.

Love the sound it gives during movies and video games. The sound quality is nice and the bass speaker really rocks!

This sound bar system has a great price for a good system. Basically plug and play and so many cords gone without losing the count.

There is zero doubt this system delivers high quality sound for the price. Zero. It is probably overpowered for the low ceiling 12 x 15 room we use it in. It onlynhas 2 weaknesses really: 1. Its buggy-the LED dot is confusing and unit will crash for no reason. 2. THE LATENCY - no amount of tinkering will keep your audio synced with video for longer than 10 minutes. There is a delay adjustment but it stops short of the range you’ll need to get to in order sync. The video will always be a few milliseconds faster and your brainwill just cope or send you to a mental hospital. Vizio should really have issued a patch for this a long time ago

Great sound bar especially for the money. It integrated with a 2016 P series tv perfectly. No issues so far including set up.

This is a solid sound bar for the price. The 5.1 is great and way above tv speakers! Once you have noise behind you, you’ll never go back!

This soundbar can get loud and for the size the subwoofer sounds great. I have a Yamaha receiver with 7 Elac speakers and a subwoofer and I am surprised as to how this small soundbar can sound so good at a fraction of the price. The sound from this system though lacks mids and the highs are rolled off. The bass can be overpowering but can be dialed in the setup. Also, the bluetooth connection is not as quick as any other bluetooth accessories that you are used to.

This is a good product for the device. New TV speakers basically suck. A sound bar system is a must. Tinkering with the sub is a very small challenge. I think the system should be able to be a little louder.
I have 2 of these systems and gave one to my father for his den.

I was visiting a friend's house when I first saw one of these. I have had another sound bar and was quite disappointed.
The good: The sound is great.
The bad: The directions for connection are terrible. I expected to be able to connect the HDMI cable and have sound. Alas, my TV (a fairly new Samsung SmartTV) did not seem to be able to find the HDMI connection, so I connected the digital audio cable. It found it, and it only took 15-20 minutes of tinkering to make it work.

My new smart tv just didn’t have great sound. For the price, this sound bar system is amazing. What a find.
