    Wanted surround sound for my living room with out the wires this did the trick. The only reason it isn’t 5 stars is because of the remote sometimes doesn’t register changes and the hdmi pass through won’t let my tv run in 1080 with directv

    Overall sound reproduction is very good for a sound bar. If your looking for perfect sound a component system will beat a sound bar hands down, but for the money this system is great. My only gripe is the sub could do better at the low frequencies

    I bought this to pair with my Vizio TV after buying a Samsung soundbar that didn't want to pair with my TV. I'm glad i switched and got this to work. I have not a single problem with it and would recommend getting it especially if you have a Vizio.

    For a 5.1 it has vary good sound. But vizio has an issue with the sound bar randomly turning off while in use. To make it worse they know about the issue and have no fix for the issue.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    The sound is fantastic and the bass is amazing. However it is very hard to get it to play through Google Cast. Hopefully this gets resolved soon. Otherwise... 5 stars.
