    Sound is good and it integrates well with my other gadgets. One it wouldn’t power up and I had to call Vizio support already . They told me that energy builds up in the sound bus and you have to unplug it , hold the power button for 20 seconds and plug it back in. It worked , but I don’t want to have to keep doing that

    My husband and I purchased this sound bar set for our den. The den was a medium sized bedroom ( sorry not good with room dimensions ). We have a full-size sectional in the room with an entertainment center and a 55 inch screen television so that a give you an idea of the size of the room we have speakers set up around the room of course the sound bar is underneath the television and it plays perfectly. It has great sound nice bass it’s really more than we could’ve asked for the price point we’re very pleased with it.

    I upgraded from a cheap samsung sound bar that was priced at around 175 when I purchased it. There is absolutely no comparison for a similar priced sound bar. For 249.99 you get a lot for your money. It was exactly what I wanted that the samsung did not provide. If you are in the market for a sound bar I highly recommend this to anyone, especially considering this is 5.1 and most of the other sound bars are 2.1. I hope this product lasts for years. I am not too educated on Vizio and their reliability of the electronics they make.

    You get good sound from the bar speakers and sub. Sound goes pretty high too. Currently have in a large high ceiling open concept room and it sounds good. Do find myself switching between settings sometimes depending on what’s being watched but always able to get a clear sound. Much better than the tv. Happy with purchase.

    Great product for price point. Easy install and syncing. Only issue is occasionally sound bar turns off during viewing (ecomode is turned off) As for some reviews sayibg there is a delay with sound coming on, it has only been minor and we also had it with our old surround sound home theater system.

    Big Sound From Small Package

    I got this for my husband's birthday. Not expecting much from this brand and the small package it is. But I was amazed with the sound that came out of this package. It offers surround sound with the advantage of a sound bar. My husband was amazed with the whole system and I would say if you want a great sounding system in a small package and for a great price this is the one to get.

    Sound quality for music is great, for movies not the best. voice is too high and special effects are too low. Had this product replaced under warranty twice. first time the speakers would turn by itself while watching a movie and when turning on the sounder, the audio wouldn't play at the back speakers and sub. Second replacement was due to that the sound bar would turn on by itself over night and when streaming a movie, the sound would not play and I had to reboot it by unplugging it. Don't expect high quality or experience with it. you truly get what you pay for
