Connected easy with Smartcast app thru iphone. Can make it as multiroom connection just like Sonos with the fraction of price. Sound quality it’s get Loud but bass not too deep but okay, Hey this small speaker.
The unit always make it connection to the bluetooth so if you want to streaming thru wi-fi make sure bluetooth is turn in off .
I’m listening at back yard thru wi-fi and bluetooth, Nice speaker’s for $40.

This is an effective low-end, and high-clarity sonic producing speaker. It simply needs charging more often than expected. I keep it charging, now, while playing for much of the time. This defeats the purpose of “Portable Speaker”. I still recommend it, though, as the audio quality is solid for the price.

I was very skeptical about buying this speaker because of the reviews I saw, either way I decided to give it a try and I’m surprised. The quality of the sound is very well and the most fascinating thing is that it is capable to connect with other Vizio speakers and play music simultaneously. It requires a little to set it up but it worths it. I came back for 4 more and I don’t regret.

Love it. Easy to connect either via Bluetooth or wire. Compared it to my Brother's Bose similar speaker. For a fraction of the cost, the sound was very similar. Very happy with my purchase

I can’t pair it to any of my iOS devices. This is not a plug and play kind of thing. You are required to download their app and plug into AC outlet in order to set up. Vizio would not show in “Bluetooth“ settings to easily pair like most portable Bluetooth speakers. Even with the app, my devices cannot even detect the speaker. I have an iPhone 11 and iPad but none of them were able to pair. I even tried the other option which was to pair it using your wifi connection, not one of my iOS devices was able to detect the Vizio Crave Go. I will be returning this today. It was a total waste!!!! It is also relatively on the heavier side— not portable IMO.
Save your money and just spend extra for a Bose— which i have been using for years but my brother borrowed and never returned. It is more user friendly and easier to pair.

Hello Wilson, this speaker should pair and be found by your devices like any other speaker once it is in Bluetooth pairing mode. I apologize that you did not have this behavior with your setup. If you decide to try another VIZIO speaker in the future please reach out to our customer support for any questions or assistance.

Paired easily with my iphone. For $40 it is a great deal for small rooms. It could be a little bit louder, but the overall sound is great. The shape of the speaker makes it perfect for travel.

Got this for my daughters bathroom so they cane jam out to their tunes during a shower. Pretty loud!! Has a little kick to it for a not so big speaker. The battery seems to die pretty quick though. You also have to have the last person who used it disconnect their Bluetooth in order to connect it to your device.

The build quality is pretty good - looks good and feels good. The sound is good for its size. The bonus is it also has AUX input and Chromecast built-in. The official App is only good for setting up the speaker and it has issue when using it as remote controller. We use Google Home to cast music to it. Bluetooth and AUX also work without issue.

This is an interesting speaker. The sound quality is good. It was very easy to hook up to my laptop bluetooth. It took a little more to hook up to WIFI after I downloaded the VizioCast app for android, but it was not that hard. It is easily controlled from my android phone and would probably be just as easily controlled from an IPhone. I like the fact that it can connect via your network as well as bluetooth. It shows up in my network view from my desktop. This speaker system has a lot of potential. It can be connected to other such speakers for improved sound quality or whatever. I will likely be ordering another one !

Bought this on sale for a very good price.
Sound is good, and battery is long-lasting. It is a good speaker with good sound and very sturdy construction.
Google assistant is NOT built-in, but Google can cast to the speaker. The speaker is only for playing sound, no two-way interaction.

This is a quality built and sounding speaker. It has good depth to the sound for the size and profile. However, it had poor Bluetooth connectivity, less that stellar battery life, and inconsistent cast availability. Not to mention, the Bluetooth pairing notification sound is always at full volume and very annoying.

Based on my recent purchase of the VIZIO - SmartCast Crave 360 Wireless Speaker I decided to test this model too. It sounds pretty good in small rooms. Way easier to carry everywhere comparing with the Crave 360. Bluetooth Pairing was easy and I can be far away from the speaker without losing connection.

Better Bluetooth speaker than I thought

I bought it when it was priced well as it was one of the Deals of the Day as I was skeptical of it. It actually is one of the better sounding portable Bluetooth speakers I've bought. I've bought Aukey, Anker, and even Insignia ones. The battery lasts me a few days using it for about a couple of hours each day. You can stream from your phone to multiple of these but you'd have to use your WiFi. You have to download Vizio's app, setup an account, connect each speaker and then the app will send the music to the multiple devices. Good for parties. I like that feature but I wish I didn't need the app. I read the Privacy agreement of the app and didn't like it. I bought 3 of these and wanted to use that feature but only if it was Bluetooth. As can be expected for a Bluetooth speaker, it can not compete with full stereo systems as the sound will be a bit hollow by comparison. But for a portable device, this is definitely worth checking out.

OMG, I didn't expect the sound and depth and range that came out of this speaker, especially for the size of it!!! I love the face that it has a battery that can be charged and you can take it anywhere and use it even where there is no electric. Not sure what the expected life is for the internal battery but I get about 5 or 6 hours of play time per charge. I would buy 10 more of these if I needed them.

Sound is surprisingly good. It was a bit goofy to set up but I didn't initially read any instructions so that was my fault. I just love the sound. So much better than any other Bluetooth speaker I have-- and I have more than I should :)
