Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is an absolutely fantastic sound bar system. I have it connected to a Vizio 55" smart tv that's a couple years old and it totally changed the viewing experience. I had a cheaper sound bar connected and there is just no comparison, from the bass to the general clarity of the sound. I use a Roku streaming stick for my cable provider, Netflix and other streaming accounts and the Roku remote also controls the Vizio sound bar, which is a GREAT feature that I haven't seen on any other review. It just seamlessly connects with the Roku system, eliminating the need for multiple remotes. One remote controls everything. I also have a 40" Vizio TV I use solely for my computer screen and the remote for it, also controls this sound bar, leaving me to believe all Vizio remotes should control it. Id recommend this to anyone who wants a great sound system at a reasonable price.

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!

We really like the sleek style and great sound we got with this. It was easy to install very good instructions easy to fallow.

Good sounding bar. Sometimes you have to adjust the delay to the tv to get lips syncing, but overall worth the price. Sounds great

This is a good product but as good as expected .. I may expecting more than that I spent .. so giving 4 other wise it good buy.

Had this for a while now. it sounds good but the sub cuts out sometimes and cant handle mid bass hits that well but can hit the lows pretty well.

Good sound quality and would be considered an excellent introductory setup for beginners. PS: Satellite speakers are weak, almost pointless.

I have been looking around for a nice sound bar to hook up to my t.v.. This was perfect.

This system is paired with a 65 inch Sony Bravia TV and can literally rallte the windows!

Got it on sale and haven’t been dispointed with the sound and quality. Satillite speakers have a long enough cord to move them where I want.

I love this system as I have a hearing problem and with the new TVs the manufacturers make them with low sound anyway. I heard this in the store and had not planned to buy it but am so glad I did. I can actually hear my TV!

I love my vizo sound bar. It makes watching movies at home feel like I'm at the theater.

We installed this product downstairs in a family room. The sound is crisp and clear! We looked @ the 3.1 but decided to go with the 5.1. It fits nicely on the fireplace mantel and the sleek look is nice. We are very happy with this Vizio smart cast.

Although they have great picture quality, few 4K TVs have Surround Sound to go with it.

Like they say you get what you pay for very good price but it’s not as powerful still pretty loud I kinda love it that’s why 4 stars

Does not Turn on automatically when you connect to Bluetooth or optical. My old 100$ LG one did. Either way, it works good

This soundbar is a great entry-level surround sound system. The connection to your TV is easy with HDMI ARC and allows the soundbar to be controlled by the TV. I also like the built in casting for music apps, it's nice to be able to walk away from the soundbar because it isn't bluetooth. We bought this for my in-laws who aren't very tech savvy and they've been able to use it with no problems. The only issue we've had is occasionally it will stop playing sound through ARC, but that is easily fixed by restarting the TV.

This is a great soundbar and especially with the lowered price of open box. The satalite speakers are a little soft but can be boosted using the SmartCast app. No delay on my tv (tcl) using optic but the arc caused a big delay.

Not Sonos but if you haven't had a sonos system, you would never know the difference

These sound bars are great for the money. They are perfect for the average size room.
