    No matter how good your TV is, this will enhance and complete your viewing experience. The blue tooth rear speakers and base will provide that realistic, theater experience with no messy wires.

    The VIZIO Sound bar system was easy to install as well as the mounting of the mini speakers to the wall. Great all around sound that definitely enhances the overall sound for viewing enjoyment.

    A 5.1 LG, Samsung or Sony would be hundreds of dollars more. This Vizio 5.1 is fantastic, it is easy to tweak all of the setting with the remote and the app to make everything perfect

    Set up is easy, it def. sounds better using the HDMI (arc) port. I have used this for mostly watching cable tv and very few shows broadcast in 5.1 so the surround sound speakers don't get much of a workout. with the movies I have watched it did ok. not a knock out but did the job. the remote is easy to use. and the soundbar itself does really well. voices are clear and don't get lost in the backround. it is worth the 200 bucks.

    This thing has some great surround sound as well as good bass. I replaced my 2.1 Samsung soundbar with this unit and have not looked back. The remote LCD is hard to read but I can live with that.

    This soundbar came recommended, and I'm glad I got it. The value was great, and the fact there are satellite speakers was a really nice add for me. Feels like a step up from a soundbar. Lots of options I won't use, like bluetooth or casting... but the one I'm most excited about was the ability to connect the soundbar directly to TV's sound output so that I don't even have to use a separate remote. Had to set it up in options by reading the user guide, but worth it! (Truth be told, the remote is nice, though!) Overall design is gorgeous, including the white LEDs on the far left side that light up to indicate use... including volume.

    Got it on sale and was more than worth the price, sports movies and videogames all sound clean and crisp. Really makes you understand how bad most TV speakers are in comparison.

    Was going to go with a higher and Polk unit but was convinced to try this one and if I did not like it return it. This unit amazed me and I still saved $150 from the Polk unit. Do not regret.

    Totally worth the money. Makes an amazing surround sound. Definitely makes the games feel like you’re there. You can also play music off your devices through this. It’s great

    As someone who wanted a surround sound experience with a 3+ channel system, this was perfect. I did not spend an arm and a leg and it really enhances the viewing experience.
