    Amazing sound for a great price, how can you go wrong. I think this is a perfect solution for apartments, its not big and the sub fits under the couch. Gives you 5.1 sound for a great price and doesnt take up too much space. What else could you want.

    The sound bar and the surround speakers are smaller than the previous models. Sound is good enough for movie. Music is only soso. Setup is easy.

    The first one I got from the store would kinda work and then would not work. Figured it was just a lemon so I took it back to BB and they sent me right out of the store with a new soundbar. This one has no glitches and works flawlessly with my Vizio P75 tv. I now recommend this soundbar and very much recommend working through BestBuy they are the greatest.

    Being able to “google cast” to the soundbar directly is awesome. My brother has had soundbars for years and does the same with Bluetooth, but the quality just doesn’t cut it for me. With casting I can get great quality sound and it doesn’t matter how far my phone gets from the speakers. Also has a 5.1 configuration I’ve now get a second “mini-theater” that I can use when my main home theater has been taken over by the kids.

    After using this sound bar for 6 months now, I still have no complaints. The large bass speaker can be placed upright or flat behind you seating. I have mine placed upright behind a reclining sofa and only had to pull the sofa about 1 inch from the wall. Totally unnoticeable. I have had absolutely no issues with disconnection with the remote speakers. My Sony Barvia TV connects to the speakers also with no problem. I agree the remote is a bit tiny, but frankly I can't even remember when the last time I used it was. I have my Dish Network remote programed to turn the TV and the sound bar on and off. I highly recommend purchase this product.

    This is my last vizio product. The sound quality is decent, but I’ve had connection issues on and off since I bought it. The app is horribly designed, and it randomly disconnects from my television. It makes a ridiculously loud noise when you attempt to reconnect it to the TV. I’ve called tech support four times and the issue is fixed for a couple weeks, then it happens again. I bet it’s because they want you to purchase a vizio television, so they make it difficult if you have a superior television (Samsung makes the best TVs picture wise). I would recommend buying the brand soundbar to match your television.

    This system does have great sound. The only thing is we Thought everything was wireless but instead that just means wireless connection of the sub to the main sound bar. The two smaller speakers plug in to the surround bar as well. The Best Buy employee that helped us told us that you would be able to have no wires and not even have to plug them in. Little disappointed at that but we have made it work.

    Easy to setup and great sound makes it the best bang for the money. Integrates well with my non Vizio TV and DVD Player. The Sub is perfect under or behind the couch and produce decent bass.

    Vizio raises the bar for Sound Bars sounds better then sound bars that cost twice as much I've listened to 5.1,6.1 and 7. for years.... Vizio is definitely at the top of the game.

    Incredible 4K 65" P series led me to Vizio brand loyalty. They are among the top selling sound bar brand (perhaps the top) and I have heard great things from friends about their sound quality. The slimline subwoofer and 5.1 setup with this system were selling points, being able to simply fit so much sound into my small loft theater room. Easy setup with no visible wires. Smartcast is also a nice functionality, as is CEC with my Vizio TV.
