    This is an incredible package for the money. I’ve got my whole 4K setup running into it, my PS4 AND my record player and they all sound fantastic for the price point. The SmartCast app is fantastic for customization too, I’m an audio guy so I love tweaking the settings and really making this thing shine.

    This system is awesome, great sound, easy to set up and works great with the Apple TV remote. Used a fish tape to snake it under the carpet for the surround sound and the wireless for surround sound is great! Only issue is the HDMI ARC does not allow 4K video to go through. I am using digital optical audio instead.

    Great sounding system

    Very impressive sound for the price, especially after tinkering with the EQ and speaker volume levels. Dolby 5.1 really creates a more immersive experience. I currently live in a condo so I haven't really tested max volume but at reasonable listening levels it sounds great with strong bass and intelligible dialogue. The only negative is I had issues with the app not recognizing the system using wifi. I connected it via Ethernet and that solved the issues. Smartcast works great with my Google home and my Spotify app. Would recommend as a great sounding budget system.

    For nearly $200 on sale, it was a good deal, but you can get so much better quality for the same money if you're willing to sacrifice the 5.1 channel for a standard 2.1 or 3.1. The side speakers are very hissy which can be an annoyance, especially at higher volumes, but the convenience of Vizio Smartcast/Chromcast do help to justify the price *on sale*. Really a budget surround sound with some nice convenience factors, but not really the best quality.

    We got this for our bedroom that is about 20 feet long. The surround speaker make us feel like we are right in the middle of all the action. It sounds great and the bass thumps loud enough for us. I like how it has smart cast and I can cast from my phone and Google home.

    Got this on sale the day after Christmas. Couldn't be happier, is perfect for our living room and now we can get ride of that bulky receiver. Sound is great and better then our last entertainment system. I am glad we choose this instead of just a sound bar. Plus it was under $200!!!

    This was I needed to my new walls. A wireless subwoofer and surround speakers. I didn't have to mess up my walls with holes or anything! And the quality of the sound...... Impressive! Plus all kinds of inputs, coaxial, optical, analog, and HDIM. And on top of that Google assistant. What else you need?

    I compared this to the Sony Dolby sound bar and picked this one. The Sony one sounded very “boxy” as this one had a much nicer clear crisp sound. Very happy with this purchase so far especially for the price point. No troubles with it at all up to this point and very easy to install.

    This sound bar is good for the price, the surround sound is great when playing music or games but not for watching regular tv or movies on tv. Could use a little more crisp highs.

    This soundbar is AWESOME. I wanted to get a soundbar system in the $200 range, so this one was a bit of a stretch. But after a price match to another big box retailer, I got it for $179.99. Let me tell you, this is $300-500 quality. Movies are great, sports are great. Incredible upgrade from your typical tv speakers.
