    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!

    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 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

    This is a really good sound bar and it’s worth the price. There is a dolby atmos version of the same which is a little higher in price.

    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.

    This has the best sound for such a small form factor! I actually have to turn the subwoofer down even tho I have it setup in a large living room. Great buy!

    I have this in my basement and it sounds great. I love the bass and love the surround element. The only problem I have is that I have to find a way to hide the wires.

    It sounds much better than built in speakers. The audio is off some times. Unfortunately all you can do on my TV is increase the audio delay which makes it worse. It has more issues than other devices in terms of loosing connection to Google home. Oveall it has usability issues, but it is okay.

    Can't beat this for the price.

    So, I recently picked up a 55" Vizio TV and wanted to replace my old 5.1 /dvd/stereo combo that finally gave out. I looked up the reviews and saw for the price you cannot go wrong. Yeah I could have spent another $300+ for a Bose, but my family room is smaller and I figured this unit would do. I am very happy with the purchase!! 1- I was looking for a 5.1 with a wireless sub-woofer. CHECK! 2- I was looking for the best sound hookup options since my new TV and components had them. Bluetooth is a plus but not mandatory ( and this one came with Bluetooth and all the power cables and wires Included.. 1 mini jack, RCA x 2, 1 coaxial digital audio RCA, 1 optical digital audio, and 1 HDMI). CHECK! 3- Something compact and less bulky and cumbersome with wires to each every speaker. Easy and quickness of installing, hooking up and in theater mode.. (which where the soundbar and wireless subs once again were ideal.) CHECK! 4- Price vs overall performance . HECK YEAH ! CHECK ++ Granted if you have a room larger than 15 x 20, you may want to go to a more refined and powerful system. But for us, this was our best choice. Set up was easy, you just have to read a few directions. It took me longer to disconnect and remove my old system than to install this new one. Only downside is the remote takes a little effort in scrolling through..but most of my controls are already set up with through the Vizio TV and I use the volume controls and power on my TV remote. I didn't get this on a killer sale so I did pay a few more bucks than some of these other Cyber or Black Friday deals. but overall I would do it again. Yes once again it comes with all the cables you need for a hookup and you don't have to go back and pick up anything.. no surprises.. Thanks Vizio for a quality and affordable system that has all the latest and greatest that won't break the bank.
