Ok soundbar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this soundbar because it was on sale for a good price. Initially everything worked perfectly. About a month later I started having problems. First, the screen on the controller went out so I could not see how to adjust bluetooth, surround sound, and other features. Second, the sub stopped connecting to the soundbar when turned on so now I have to unplug both for about 30 seconds every time to get the sub and side speakers to work. Overall, the sound it put out was great, but there are too many problems to get it to work. I got it a lot cheaper than most other sound bars but there are issues that need to be addressed.

Budget System that works
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.System was obviously used. Some normal wear marks on the speakers. Given the mixed reviews, I'm not surprised that it was probably sent back to manufacturer. I purchased the extended warranty in case I got a lemon. Unit was easy to setup and I have had zero issues. The possible issues like audio lag, unit going to sleep, arc incompatibilities, and wireless connection we're avoided using suggestions from other reviews on here and Amazon. Be prepared to not use ARC(introduced audio lag with Sony Bravia TV), you will probably have to use optical cable. Works better with a shorter distance between sub and sound bar with clear line of sight preferred. Worked fine in a medium size family room. So far it works and sounds great.

Great sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to connect to Vizio TV. Great sound through all speakers especially sub woofer.
I would recommend this to a friend Highly rated for a reason
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I researched and researched, none of the amazing reviews let me down. Not the best for music playback but movies are absolutely amazing. Watching NASCAR puts you in the stands... maybe an exaggeration but but you get the point. Setup is a bit cumbersome but it pairs really well with a VIZIO SmartCast tv. If you don’t have the app get it. Makes setup a little easier and a must for fine tuning.
