Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the sound quality, easy setup, price, and bass of the SmartCast 5.1 Channel Sound Bar System with 5-1/4" Wireless Subwoofer. They appreciate the clear sound, simple installation, affordability, and strong bass. However, customers are negative about the connectivity, remote control, durability, and auto power-off feature. They have experienced issues with the sound bar disconnecting from the TV, the remote control not working properly, the sound bar not lasting long, and the sound bar randomly turning off.

    Difficult set up. Remote too minimalistic. Subwoofer cannot handle ANYTHING. Subwoofer blown at lowest setting with PBS Masterpiece Theater soundtrack. This thing is a piece of junk. I have a Vizio TV and it has problems pairing.

    It’s ok, the app doesn’t really work for me and it won’t connect to Bluetooth anymore. It also shuts off and turns on by itself every day. It worked well for a few days at least. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    this has good sound but has a known Bluetooth issue where the speakers cut out for like 5 seconds every few minutes. Terrible..... no fix for this? Really

      Hi Somedue, Typically is the audio cutting out on blue tooth based off the connectivity from the device-Have you tried bluetooth to the sound bar from alternate device? If you need assist please reach out to us at 1-855-833-3221 VIZIO

    Well I have been working with vizio for two months now, doing master resets, hours on the phone. They sent a prepaid box for the sound bar to be replaced. Not once did anyone inform me I needed to enclose the subwoofer as well since the sound bar and woofer need to be the same. On the phone today for another 45 minutes getting a box for the woofer. They know I'm frustrated, just sick of the run around.

      I'd like to apologize for any miscommunication. When we replace a product like a sound bar, we make sure to replace each of the components that come with it. The last thing we would want is to replace a Sound Bar, then find out that the issue was the sub woofer and have to prolong the experience. We try to clearly state that the replacement will be for the whole unit in our documentation, and I'm sorry if that information wasn't relayed to your satisfaction. I'm hoping that the rest of the process goes smoothly, and we have a chance to earn back your business. VIZIO

    Like the bluetooth option. However not entirely wireless as the subwoofer and 2 small speaker are connected.
