    Got an amazing deal during the Black Friday sale. The sound is great, comes through on the speakers very clear. All of our tv’s in our home are Vizio’s so it was a no brainer on which one we wanted.

    Remember when Samsung had the best quality for a competitive price? This is the role that Vizio fills now. The soundbar system is fantastic, with the exception of its Chrome Cast function with Spotify. It cracks and distorts. It's my understanding that this is an issue on Spotify's end however and the Bluetooth connection works just fine with Spotify and other applications. The only downside is the lack of back lighting on the LED remote. It makes it practically unusable in the dark.

    It is a good purchase and does it job. There isn't anything special from it and I'm concerned about how long it will be before I run into issues. If you want something that meets it specs, this is good but won't blow you away

    After many days of haggling, I finally succumbed to my girlfriend’s request to rid the family room of my huge, high end klipsch tower speaker/surround sound 5.1 system. I had low expectations, but this was on sale and had the rear speakers. Honestly, the system creates solid sound, good surround, is compact, and connects with everything extremely easily. My only complaint is the Bluetooth pairing sometimes needs to be reset.

    I have a dedicated media room that is not all that large with a 50 inch TV. The Visio SmartCast is an excellent replacement for my old 5.1 surround sound. Great sound for the size room, the surround sound speakers are really clear, and the Subwoofer has been great. I've had no problems with the unit, and think the sound is great. I also really like the chromecast features which is connected to my Spotify play lists. Great value for the money.

    Packs a punch without taking up much room at all. Comes with everything even wall brackets, and wiring connections. Paired automatically with my Samsung smart tv. My only reason for not giving the 5th star is the main sound bar needs a little more midrange.

    This is a great surround system for the price. It’s very slim and has the slimmest subwoofer I’ve ever seen. Fits right under the couch.

    I was somewhat skeptical because of the size of the subwoofer as well as the way the satellite speakers are attached; however, once connecting to my TV I realized how wrong I was to question the design. It has nice, clear and crisp sound. Also, the connectivity is easy and the ability to connect to it from my phone was a nice add. Great product and I would recommend it to anyone looking for good sound for a decent price.

    Great sound from the soundbar and the sub. The Rear surround speakers could be a little stronger. The sub also has issues making a connection. However, once you get everything set up and paired the system is really good for the price.

    Better than expected. Easily linked with my Sony TV, Direct Tv, and Xbox. This soundbar replaced my Sony home theater system and I was very hesitant on going to a soundbar system. WOW!!!! Its incredible, the sound is crisp, the bass is perfect, its very powerful and loud. Best of all is since it linked up so smoothly to everything I don't have to use the soundbar remote for anything. I couldn't be happier.

    Great sound. Easy set up. Instructions for using remote is the weakest part. If your inclined to figuring things out on your own, you will find that the remote allows you to balance the sound between all of the speakers to provide a great sound! Extremely clear and loud sound. Must have Dolby sound output from your TV or device to get the max sound quality along with HDMI cable.

    Great surround sound with the side speakers and sub woofer. Had a little trouble installing, hence the 4. Not as easy as I thought. But I am so happy with the sound. Listening to music and it sounds like a concert hall. would recommend.
