    Sound is so pure it’s like a cat yodeling! The highs make your toes curl, and the lows make you feel like you’re sitting next to the drummer at an Arkansas Razorback football game!

    Sound quality is pretty decent. That said, sound bar system has a recurring issue of shutting off in the middle of active use. Fiddling with the volume controls quickly turns it back on, but it's an issue with use every time. The next sound bar purchase will most likely not be from Vizio

    We have been impressed with this sound system. It was pretty easy to set up. We have it integrated with our tv and DVD player so it turns on when those are turned on. The sound quality is good.

    Bought this to use with my new TV that I chose to mount on the wall. Is very easy to install and light weight so it can be mounted on same TV bracket with the right adapters. Sound is great!

    I purchased mine as open box, so was missing the hdmi cable and instructions, but it was still easy enough to set up to a tcl series 6 roku tv. I set mine up with hdmi arc (since roku TVs are fairly particular with their volume control), and the sound we get fills a 15x25 room with rich enough sound to be immersive. The bass that the small subwoofer manages to squeak out from that small box is fairly impressive. Also, the soundbar makes speech a bit more clear. I did experience a software issue where the standby was acting up, however recent updates seem to have fixed the glitch (I believe it was my tv’s fault).

    Huge improvement over the TV speakers. Movie theater quality sound in my living room. It may have powered down on it's own once or twice but it happens pretty rarely.

    Not much of a subwoofer fan (even still) but the soundbar is soooooo much clearer than the TV speakers and the surround-sound lil speakers are quite nice as well

    We bought the sound bar for an outside pool area and even with all the noise and the water fall going and you can hear it perfectly it turns up very loud and the sound quality is great.

    The sound bar with the surround speakers provide a great listening experience. I like that you can change the levels of the bass, treble etc of the sound bar to my liking.
