Nice sound system at this price point. Easy to set up and doesn’t take up too much space. I would definitely recommend for a small space but not for a large space if you’re looking for immersive sound.

Michaels review of my Vizio smart cast 5.1 sound bars I got four of them and I can’t wait to plug them to my new Sony 85 inch TVs and put them on the Santos full motion wall mounts I have yet to observe them yet but I am looking forward to everything and the sound that I’ll get from the sound bars I’m sure will be wonderful thank you

This soundbar is amazing due to the multiple possible connections you can make. It is possible to control over wifi and bluetooth which makes it a very versatile soundbar. You can even control it with your voice using a google home! The sound is amazing as well with the bass making it feel like you're in a movie theater. Highly recommended for its versatility and its sound quality.

Was very pleasantly surprised on how great this soundbar system is. The Vizio app is great, easy to use and can control everything with ease. The system sounded much better than anticipated for such a small price, great bass and treble, very pleased

Sound ok most of the time. Lose connection to tv a lot, which cause me to have to constantly turn it back on. No display sucks and remote display needs a backlight.

Vizio makes some great and loud soundbars. This one goes great with your television. Surround sound is awesome. There are some channels like Disney Plus that seem to not have surround, but that's not the fault of the soundbar. When true surround comes on, this system does the job.

It really okay, the sound is great for the money but, it goes in/out. There was also one day, unknown device was connected to it and unrecognized music was playing.

This is my third Vizio soundbar. My larger, 5-year-old soundbar stopped working after a lightning storm and would no longer turn on. I bought this as a replacement, but the sound is not as great as my older model. It also turns off after 5 minutes of paused television. Sometimes the subwoofer will come back on when I turn the volume up but, most of the time, I have to manually turn the subwoofer back on. I had to fiddle around with the settings to get the sound right, but I had to do that with my previous 2 Vizio's, as well. Overall, it does have a good sound, but the quickness to turn off, even after changing the settings to not do so, is annoying.

Hello finkma2001, the sound bar will turn off due to the eco mode being set to on. If you have already turned this feature off please give our award winning customer service a call at 877-878-4946 so we can assist you.
