Very decent system

Good Sound bar for price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is pretty good overall. The only thing I wish was different was that the satellite speakers for the surround sound were wireless.

Not Bad

SoundBar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little deceiving since it advertises "wireless". Only thing wireless is the sound bar to the woofer. Speakers have to be connected to the woofer by wire, unable to just put the speakers anywhere in the room where you do not want wires showing.

So Far So Good

Great sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought one last year on Black Friday and loved it so much we bought another one this year for my parents for Christmas.

CAN YOU HEAR THAT
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Whoa! The quality of sound this thing puts out makes me think I'm in a movie theater. Even makes the popcorn taste better (stove top). I can't help it, this soundbar is so good, I've had to go to the grocery store twice this week for more popcorn!

Great User Friendly System
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great user friendly system. I replaced an old HTIB and like that it doesn’t require 6-8 input switches to get to the TV input. Easy setup. Has a lot of network and smart features that I don’t use yet. I’ll save that for a GeekSquad visit.

Great sound for such a simple set up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We lucked out and stumbled upon an “open box” which was actually just the store display. Got it for a great price. Actually purchased to use in the backyard for our projector and it’s so convenient- easy to put up and take down.

Great sound without all the wires
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this after my old sound bar died and was between buying a full system or another bar. This was a great option for a 5.1 system but without the major expense. Sound quality is on point and I dont hear any issues with the wireless speakers

Absolutely Miserable.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Folks, I don't review many products because I usually go through the reviews and do my due diligence to ensure I am buying a reputable product. I've had this product for three days. It is riddled with problems, of which I will list below: BLUETOOTH INSTABILITY The bluetooth connection on this device refuses to connect with a stable connection. I have several bluetooth devices connected to my iPhone, all with zero problems. I've even tried this with my iPad and still no luck. The connection drops, doesn't connect at all, or requires a reboot. HDMI-ARC FAILURES While this is an amazing feature in theory, it just doesn't work as planned. Most often when I was watching a show connected via HDMI-ARC, the audio would lag in and out, then have a permanent delay until a soft power restart. GOOGLE SMARTCAST FIRMWARE After thinking that I was simply trying to cast to the device incorrectly, I realized that there is an underlying problem. Vizio does NOT push firmware updates from Google to update its SmartCast firmware. The newest version for this available is 1.4.xxx and this device will be permanently stuck on 1.2.xxx. Why is this a problem? It's a problem because the cast feature is beyond unstable - worse than Bluetooth. Almost 100% of the time the rear speakers and sub do NOT produce sound when being cast to. I will acknowledge that some songs do not support 5.1 channel sound, but there are simply too many anomalies. THE APP The Vizio SmartCast app is simply unusable. Hasn't been updated in ages, refuses to connect to the device, opens a SSID WiFi network for 30 minutes EACH TIME the device is powered on - even after pairing with a device. If this laundry list of problems isn't enough for you, I don't know what is. Don't be a fool like me and be interested in the $50 discount being offered - there's a reason they're offering it!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from VIZIOEntertainmentExpert
Posted .Hello mikechiato, your SmartCast device will broadcast a SSID for the purpose of connecting to a mobile device using the VIZIO SmartCast application. To complete any connection to the television a 4 digit code, that is displayed on the television, would need to be entered on the connecting device before allow it to control your television. This network will stop broadcasting after about 30 minutes after initial power on and should pose no security risk to the integrity of the personal wireless network or information. We would love to look into this further with you and your other issues as the behaviors you are describing are not normal. When you have a free moment, they’re available through text message, chat, or over the phone. Just go to support.VIZIO.com and click on ‘Contact Us’.
