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.

Started great, but will not maintain connectivity
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have many Vizio products in my home, and this is my first bad experience. Only a couple weeks after connecting this SB to my new Vizio TV, it began having issues. After an unspecified amount of time, the SB would occasionally shut down. Most of the time I can manually turn it back on, but a few instances had me disconnecting and reconnecting power to the unit to turn it back on. Now, this is almost a daily occurrence. I have tried checking for updates to the firmware, but I can either not connect to the SB or it will not maintain a connection long enough. So disappointed.

It sucks
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.its your lucky day if you are able to play song from your phone without dealing with below issues, - bluetooth connection with phone is not seamless, every time you have to connect your phone manually - sound breaks while playing from phone - subwoofer disconnects automatically in between - phone app is worst there are other issues as well, sometimes i just want to throw it outside.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't read the reviews before purchasing this. I was actually shopping for a TV and if you bought this in addition to the TV, you received the sound bar for a great price. Disappointed that it doesn't have bluetooth capability though.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback. This sound bar does have bluetooth functionality as a separate input so you can pair your devices and listen to music through the sound bar. You can also cast audio applications such as iHeart Radio and Pandora to the sound bar.
