    We got this for our loft area for our thanksgiving gathering. It was a great edition to our entertainment setup, improving the immersion of movies, music and video games.

    This sound bar produces clear crisp sound. The subwoofer produces nice bass and the rear speakers are small and sound great as well. Very happy with my purchase!

    This is the first sound bar I ever bought and immediately realized that I was missing a lot of fun. Takes music and movies to a different level.

    Great price on sale! Better than high end systems that I’ve had. It will not function properly at times but a simple turn off and back on works every time. Enjoy.

    I bought this after my first Vizio sound bar died after about a year. I was excited to have full 5.1, but problems came up as soon as I installed it. I had audio/video sync issues right away, tried everything I could trying to fix it but couldn't. Sound bar would turn on by itself on a regular basis. Returned it to best buy for a new one. Worked fin at first but a month or so later, ran into the same problems. Called Vizio and while their customer service is excellent, it was suggested to us optical instead of HDMI ARC. After several calls, they sent me a new one from the factory. A year later and the bar would turn off for a few seconds. Just recently +replaced it.

    I purchased these speakers to go with a 75” Visio tv. The great room is 40’x40’ that both these products are in. No problem hearing the prod cast from these speakers
