    Price was great. Sound was okay. Did not like that it was always Surround sound and could not switch to stereo when listening to music or television programming such as games shows.

      Thank you for your feedback. This Sound Bar has a feature called Surround that when enabled will always have audio coming from all speakers. This setting can be disabled which will only give a 5.1 audio when that is the signal being received from whatever you are watching. VIZIO

    This thing is awesome. Love the subwoofer design. I have it between the back of the couch and the wall and It shakes the out of me. With the app on my phone I can adjust bass and treble and different modes. The rear speakers came with plenty of cable to reach where I wanted to put them. Overall Im happy with this system.

    Sound is great and installation it is easy. The sound bar set installed as easily as plugging in wires. I plan on purchasing another one in the near future. The bass sound surprised me how full it was given the size of the sub woofer. I mounted the rear surround speakers on small floor stands that worked well.

    If your tried of all the wires of running around the house or from the ceiling, the vizio SmartCast 5.1-channel soundbar system is right for you. With the wireless subwoofer and rear speakers, gives the watcher the feel of being there. It also has the Bluetooth tech. to make streaming of music easier.

    This product is beautiful. It works amazingly, the price is great, and the metal grill is gorgeous. I couldn't be happier with it. The equalizer levels were a little screwed up when I first turned it on but those were a quick fix. Well worth the money, especially if you get an open box item or sale.

    I purchased this before the FSU Michigan Orange Bowl game and boy was I impressed. The sales lady showed my Bose and Samsung but told me to try this I had 2 weeks to return it. Awesome sound, HUGE sub and cool little rear speakers wired to sub. Definitely recommend! GO NOLES!!!

    I purchased a VIZIO M Series and wanted a sound at system to pair with it. The subwoofer works great placed convienantly under the couch! The Soundbar is also much skinnier than I thought but the sound is loud and booming! Perfect for movie night!

    Sound bar is great, the only thing is that the 2 mini speakers are wired to the sub box so I wish the wired were longer to space them out differently

    Rear speakers are wired which is disappointing, was hoping for a wireless setup across the board. Sub was dating out a little but nothing serious

    Great sound all around and love the sleek subwoofer. Subwoofer packs a punch. Love how you can download the app and control the soundbar from it. Love all the different connectivity options. Bluetooth works great as well. Would recommend.

    I was a big skeptic of soundbar systems until I heard this one. Though I would opt for a home theater system, soundbars are a great option for those not wanting to spend all that money or take up all that room.
