    Good sound, not as good as a Receiver setup.

    Sound quality is good not great. Setup is a breeze and its super sweeet not having to run a wire to the sub. Just plug it in anywhere in the room and the Surrounds plug right into the sub. It found the sub and connected automatically - pretty slick! I kind of miss my Receiver and Big Boy speakers, the "depth of sound" is not there - a little "Tinny". Darn nice not having to turn on the Receiver and changing source all the time.

    This is the first sound system I have ever owned. I am very happy with my purchase. It was very easy to set up all the speakers and the sound is great. So far no complaints!

    this VIzio sounder is great! very sleek and slim the profile is so great in my living room with my new 65" Vizio display. i ended up getting this to complete my home theater set up in my place. the speakers the display have are not enough if you really want to experience your movies TV and games. This system was easy to connect all you need is power to the sound bar hooked up to the tv by either HDMI ARC or optical cable. the new Vizio displays have passthrough so it made it even easier and for the subwoofer and rear speaker all you need to do is add power and they're linked. great system highly recommend it and i forgot the most important it sounds amazing!

    Overall, this has been great. I love that the subwoofer can be placed more discretely due to its shape. The improvement on sound and TV watching experience has greatly improved especially for the cost of the system compared to similar systems. My only downside for this product is the remote is sometimes touchy and must be in the perfect position to use.

    I am coming from a Yamaha 5.1 tower speaker / 10 inch sub system going to this. I was looking of something to save room since we have 2 kids now. I have to say, while its not as intense and earth shaking as my old system, sonically you can hear everything going on. The sound is very crisp, mids are good, and bass is enough that you can hear even some super low stuff (the rumbly bits). I have to say I am very happy so far and would definitely say at least try this one out if you are on the fence. BTW, love the smart cast stuff, sending pandora to this thing is really cool.

    Every time I turn on my TV, I have to reboot the soundbar, and sometimes it's very cumbersome, with the back speakers and subwoofer often not working even though it's 5.1 channel broadcast. Set-up is too complicated and not intuitive. The sound, however, is great -- when it works. The controls on the subwoofer should be on the front.

    I would like to start by saying I am a fan of Vizio. I own several of their tvs and have not had any complaints over the years. I love this sounder. It looks great, sounds great, and is very intuitive. It has bluetooth which is easy to connect. The lows, mids, and highs all sound wonderful. This little guy is a beast as well because I leave it at relatively low volumes and it still kicks out some major sounds at all ranges. The Smartcast feature works extremely well and seamlessly. If you are looking for a soundbar this is a phenomenal choice.

    The main soundbar and the subwoofer are the real stars of the show here. The soundbar is very clear and crisp and the sub handles the low range effortlessly. Very easy to set up and I have it paired with a 65" Vizio M Series. My only critique is the rear speakers could be better, but for what I paid I'm very satisfied.

    Just got my first flat screen in 2016 (37") and got this sound bar open box. was planning on getting a bigger tv. The sound totally makes the movie experience complete at home. I want my parents to try mine out, but I don't want to give it up. Love the look of the sub-woofer, instead of an ugly square box.

    Recently moved to a new apartment. Don't have the space to run my old Surround Sound system, but needed something more than the built in speakers on the tv. This provided the best quality for price based on my research. Also like the thin bass unit. Hides conveniently away and provides adequate bass.

    Picked this up when they had a sale. Saved over $100! Its been awhile since I had a sound bar, and this one works great for what I needed. I love the fact that the subwoofer and surround speakers work wirelessly from the mail speaker bar. Who wants wires running all the way across from the tv to your couch!? 5 stars just for that! Speakers sound good and the bass is better than I expected. I have yet to watch a good movie to get the full experience of the system. No problems so far!

    Bought this thinking it would be "OK", turns out its brilliant, great sound quality. I bought it because i am getting hard of hearing and with the living room being so big, it was very hard to hear the TV using the built in speakers, now the Living room was an "occasional use" room, so i wasn't too worried about the perceived quality or brand name, this thing is so good we now spend a lot more time in this room and use it to watch movies with rich surround sound. Worth every penny
