I bought this to replace a really all in one soundbar. This is so much better. Nice sound and quality from these speakers, subwoofer, and soundbar. I love the depth of the sound and the range it puts out.

Easy setup and excellent sound quality. Only complaint is sound delay after using the system for more than 1 hour.

The sound bar it self has great sound quality. Unfortunately the sub has gone out. The sound bar loses connection every now and then and I have to unplug it. Frustrating and disappointed. My LG sound bar is 4 years old and it’s sub still works.

The sound bar and sub have great sound, the rear speakers work but do not project sound from the input source.

This is my first Vizio product. I am impressed with the sound quality. The rear speakers are small enough that they don't really get noticed to the eye. But when the TV is on and the sound comes thru. It was well worth the money.

This is a great soundbar for a large area. The sound is outstanding and the surround sound is unbelievable! The speakers are nice and small. It was east to set up, but it does take a little work to sync the sound with the TV,

It sounds way better than I expected! Extremely full and more than loud enough for my small living room. Pairs well with my 55” Vizio flat screen. Set-up takes some time, but it is seamless now. Love this unit.

I use this in my bedroom with the bar mounted below a tv. The side surrounds are on either side of the bed. Everything works great. There is one issue keeping it from being 5 stars for me.
There are not many settings for alternating between listening experiences. Specifically, there is not a night mode or voice mode. The truvolume setting does this to an extent, but for night viewing, it would be helpful to have a dynamic volume control.
What I have done is cranked the center channel and live with it.

Bought this when there was a nice promotion going on. Incredibly easy to set up, mount etc. gets nice and loud perfect for a mid sized room. Not 100% the dead best sound across but it’s perfectly serviceable and does what I need it to do.

Has been working great. The ability to separate the sound bar near the tv and the other speakers without a wire running across the room is great. The small speaks do have wires to the sub but not the soundbar.l

I really have enjoyed this sound bar. The sound is great and a lot of friends have commented about it. Watching a movie sounds like your in a theater. I love the rear speakers and the fact they plug into sub woofer. Great product.

This soundbar system is amazing! Good clear crisp audio. I did do my homework on the best sounding sound bars for a low price and I'm glad I went with this vizio. The base is a little over the too, but with a few gs good. I Love it! tweaks i

I bought two of these sound bars for Christmas gifts for my adult sons. Both of them have said they love it & the sound is terrific. While one of them has a Sony TV & the other a Samsung, they are both very happy with this Vizio product.
