Decent value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It sounds great when it works, not always turns on and we have to be fighting with the volume option all the time. It gets to be really loud or super quiet.

Can't beat this for the price.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

I would recommend this to a friendIt works
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use, and the sound is great...except you have to play with a tiny to read screen on the remote to adjust bass, treble, etc. The power shuts off randomly, even though I turned off eco power. It’s good for what it is, but make sure you have patience.
