    Sounds nice, Fits easily on the stand under my tv. The surround speakers are a little small, so less bass. It is nice to have the subwoofer in a wireless form. The surround speakers plug in to the subwoofer. It would be really nice if they were truly wireless so there weren't any cords.

    Sound bar is nice. Had to re-orient the HDMI cables in the back of the TV to get it to work but an easy fix. Still looking for satellite speaker stands as all the reviews say the recommended stands aren't configured for the larger plug in the back of the speakers. Hopefully they will address this.

    Am glad I bought this as an open box, because I would be mad now if I had paid the full price, since is not that loud as I tough my old Vizio bar 4.1 sound more than this one. but I love the slim sub it gits anywhere! other than I recommend you get a open box one, is not worth for the full price.

    Yes there are better surround sound systems out there and cheaper sound bars as well. This this is great for what I do. Movies and gaming The bass is absolutely amazing. It’s hard to believe that the sub hits as hard as it does. It will shake the room that is no exaggeration. Mine is under the sectional. You don’t see it. It really doesn’t vibrate the couch all that much. But it fills the room with a great boom, perfect for music, movies and games.

    I love the sound bar and sub! However, I wish the surround sound speakers were wireless. They give you some great long cords to reach them where they need to go but it would still be nice to have them wireless. Now its time to buy a couch that sits up higher so I can set the amp below it!

    Works well, when the interface wants to comply. Bluetooth connection is weak and rear speakers now do not work after a few months. Good flat sub design however.

    We actually downgraded (with respect to cost) the sound system in our media room and we LOVE the change. TV (cable, Roku, streaming, casting, Fire) is a casual event. The sound doesn't need to be audiophile quality (for us at least). But it does need to work correctly, not get out of sync, not have 47,000 settings and be easy to use. This Vizio sound bar integrates seamlessly with our Vizio flatscreen. Quality is fitness for use. This is a quality product.

    I wanted very much to go with the new Bose soundbar. But after listening to the Vizio in store and weighing cost, I couldn't justify spending the additional money. I have been very happy with the sound for television and happier with the Bluetooth sound. Tough value to beat.
