    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.

    I am very happy with this soundbar system. Bought this to replace an LG that just didn't offer enough bass. You wont be disappointed in this unit and the rear speakers are a plus.

    I had to return the first one since it was defective, but a replacement was sent right away. Set up was easy, and being able to listen to music from my phone is great!

    Partially happy with this purchase

    So, when I bought this product, I purchased another brand at the same time and suffice to say, they both have pros and cons. As far as this one; the sound bar itself puts out a quality sound. The subwoofer on the other hand, sub par performance/sound. I figured it being a VIZIO, it would be an all around great buy, not so much.

      Hello Tone, the subwoofer with this system has a separate control for bass and sub volume. Adjusting these settings may help adjust the subwoofer performance to you liking. If you are still not liking the audio please contact our customer support at 877-878-4946. VIZIO

    This set of speakers can be installed to operate like a surround sound system. It gets along well with our new smart TV, as well as the DVD player, and OLD VHS player as well.

    Great Sound Bar System. Easy to Use. Sound Bar Connects to Power and TV. Wireless Subwoofer Connects to Power. Doesn’t Have Many Wires so Cable Management is Simple.

    This was the most cost effective 5.1 surround sound system in the store. Setup was quick and easy although of you want wireless rear speakers, this is not the kit for you.
