    I have 3 different surround sound systems. This is definitely my favorite. If you want your TV to rock this is the way to go.

    Sounds great and fulfills the need for 5.1 without running a bunch of wires everywhere. 4 stars instead of 5 because I don’t think you can force simulated surround. It’ll decode 5.1 from the original source, but if it’s stereo, I don’t think you can force it to simulate 5.1. Overall it’s a great system and sounds great.

    Great sound, love the slim/low profile, surprised by the quality of sound considering how unobtrusive and easy to set up everything was.

    This is our 3rd Visio sound bar since we keep wanting to put them in each room. Nice sound and very clear, but the only reason I don't give it 5 is because I have had trouble making sure the sound lines up with the picture. You can adjust this but it's hard to make it perfect and I have not had to do that on our other sound bars

    we do like the vizio soundbar system just wished it would do more - with our set up we need the back speakers to have dialogue which after purchasing we learned this one does not - after some research we did figure out how to turn the back speakers up as they were so low we weren't sure they were even working

    Good sound quality but it is difficult to setup. I have it connected to my TV but I can't get it to connect to my phone or use other features. Some days I turn on my system and there is no sound but after I turn it off/on then the sound comes back.

    I have found this to be the best surround sound for the money. If you want a budget surround sound with great sound this is it. The front sound bar simplifies that end of the room, and wireless to the subwoofer, and it feeding the rear speakers adds convenience. And best feature of all - the flat subwoofer slides under the couch getting it out of the way (and give those on the couch a great experience). This has been the best system in this price range I have ever had.

    Looks great on the tv. Works perfect. I wish it was a little louder. Sub hits well but is not overpowering and does not take away from the rest of the sound. Had it a few months and don’t see myself ever going without one again. Quality is top notch. Vizio has really impressed me lately. Haven’t used the connection to my google home yet but music through the tv music channels sounds great. We have a huge moving room and it gives our house a nice full sound.

    Picked this up when it was on sale. The sound quality is good but we have an issue we’re it won’t turn on so I have to pull the power cord out and then plug back in to get it to reset. Gets frustrating
