    Top Quality Soundbar

    I own a sound bar that costs twice the price of this Vizio soundbar, and it's sound does not match this product. This sound bar is easy to program and operate. This soundbar operates in sync with the Vizio 4K television I have, and the soundbar goes on and off with the television remote.

    The front soundbar and rear speakers have clear crisp sound and the sub-woofer has excellent bass. The rear speakers connect to the sub which connects by wireless to the soundbar to minimize cords. Very nice entertainment sound!

    I had a surround sound going in my living room. Hiding all the wires became a little difficult because I cannot run it through the walls. Vizio has outdid themselves here. The base is the coolest looking thing and its powerful. Shakes the room up pretty well. Top notch

    Purchased this along with a Visio 65 inch HDTV. Provides clear crisp sound for general tv. The surround sound is awesome. Mid-range and tweeters provide a must have experience for movie and sports viewing.

    It would have 5 Stars if the center speaker stood out more. I have it turned up all the way but still have issues at times hearing dialogue.

    Very easy to hook up, sounds good, sub very thin, fits under my couch. The only issue I have so far, the power cord keeps falling out of the sub, loose fit. I used a toothpick to create a tighter fit on the power cord. Seems to have fixed the issue

    I've been looking for an affordable yet good quality 5.1 soundbar system for my bedroom and got this on sale. Easy to hookup and lots of ways to connect to TV and includes all wires needed. Looks great, too! Sleek! Definitely recommended!

    This won't be a very long review -- I returned it eventually. I will say that the design of the sub is sensational. If you have clearance under your couch, this thing mimics a theatre experience so well! ... at least for the bass. The sound bar was lacking. The imaging was poor and the volume indicators are too cryptic. For the price, the JBL offerings are far superior.

    Returning...again

    So returned the first unit because sound kept getting cut off. So this is a replacement. Although sound is not getting cut off the subwoofer and satellite speakers keep disconnecting every time I turned on the TV. I had to pair them up again all the time. So called their tech support and also mentioned to the guy that when I press on the On button on the subwoofer it turns off and when I press on the Off button it turns on. As soon as I mentioned that, he said that it's known issue and needed to send me a new one. I had noticed this with the first one I returned as well. So had them take down my address to have a new one sent out to me. Same day I went to another store to look at other soundbars and heard the Bose Touch300. Took it home with the rear speakers and WOW is all I can say. Good thing I got the rear speakers as it makes a whirl of difference. Blows the Vizio rear speakers away. I thought they were too faint and quiet. So called Vizio to cancel the replacement and will return it and keeping the Bose. Much more pricier but WHAT a difference.

    I bought this surround sound system last Christmas for our Vizio Smart Cast TV. It was easy to connect and operate. Pairing my smart phone connected right away since I had already had it paired to the TV.

    Hands down the best budget surround sound system. The bass and drivers handling is suprisingly good and Trusurround is a nifty feature to level out the highs and the lows for a uniform listening experience.

    Love this sound system. Excellent surround sound. I also bluetooth music to the unit and sounds pretty good as well. I do wish it had outgoing bluetooth so I could wear headphones and watch tv.
