    At first I was looking for something less pricy but due to this model being the only one in the product line left in stock I went for it. Even though I had a smaller tv at the time. But after installing it i was completely blown away. The sound was like being in my very own movie theater. Now, I've even updated my TV all due to the amazing siundbar.

    For the price, it isn't bad. Loads of options and decent sound. My biggest complaints is that it doesn't seem to pass HDR through via the HDMI port. And the app can be a bit finicky at times. Otherwise, it works fine.

    Sound quality is exactly what I wanted and what I expected. Sub woofer fits perfectly behind my couch and the sound bar hangs perfectly below my tv. Setup is a little funky but if you read the instructions first it helps!

    Works great. Sometimes, I have trouble connecting my iphone to the speaker via Viziocast app. But, I don't use that feature much anyways. So, not a big deal for me. Overall, delivers superb bass and surround sound.

    Lost it’s connection to the tv once and could not be controlled by arc. However, despite this single occurrence it sounds amazing even in a large room.

    I was very surprised with the sound of this unit. I replaced my traditional surround sound (Receiver, Sub, Center Channel, Front and Rear Speakers) with this. Im very pleased with the sound, look and simplicity.

    No issues linking up to sub via Bluetooth and after a few tries and factory reset was able to connect via wifi to phone. Has been working perfectly since. Sounds amazing and sub is very, very loud even on half volume.

    Incredible sound field and surround sound. The center channel compliments the front left and right channel. While the wireless subwoofer drives the low end bass and the left and right surround makes the movie sound come to life. An all around top pick. I highly recommend this if you want to make your home theatre experience awesome!

    I had originally purchased a Samsung soundbar and exchanged it for this Vizio unit. This unit sounds better (5.1 as opposed to 3.1), for about the same price, and the google cast option is very convenient. The slim subwoofer looks great and makes deep powerful bass. All cables and accessories were included. Couldn't be happier!

    Easy set up. Unfortunately my Vizio tv does not have Google cast so I cannot control the sound via the Vizio smartcast app. However the sound is full and movies are a cinematic experience. Love it!
