I bought two of these and started reading the reviews on here and i started feeling like maybe it was a bad buy but boy oh boy was I wrong . I am beyond happy with these , the sound quality is excellent plus it’s super loud , heavy yes and the app needs more work but these just with Bluetooth are amazing .

Some negative comments regarding this product but for me such a nice product with Hi-Fi quality sound when you can make it work. For Android user please get iPhone to download and adjust your first initial setup. For some reason the Vizio Smartcast app doesn’t work and wasted my 1 hour. But IOS iphone make it works.
Cons : The App it’s not working seamlessly with Android.
Pros : Sound quality its awesome with Hi-Fi after EQ adjustment thru iPhone. My eq setup was bass 7 and 10 on trebles.
This Vizio tried to be compete with Sonos system but don’t except too much, bought 2 units Sp70 but you can’t make it Stereo but you were able to streaming as multiroom after downloading Google home app. See the picture i connected with Vizio Sp30 and display google home.
The tuneIn works wonderfully as well with spotify. Make sure turning off your bluetooth otherwise the unit will connect automatically to the Sp70’s and shut it off Eco mode.
I bought two as part of Deal of the day. it’s nice.

sound is incredibly good for the smallish form factor. the bass is very tight and the low range is impressive. it is very buggy though. can't get to connect via wifi, and the controls on the unit don't work. randomly doesn't turn on so i have to unplug and replug. sound is so good though, so i'm debating whether to keep it even with it's quirks.

Sounds great for it's size. Others say to much base or muffled sound. Placement is critical for any speaker system. Move it away from the wall a few inches and don't stick it in an inclosed shelving unit and it comes alive. You can also make tonal adjustments through the Vizio Cast app. Only problem looses wifi paring at times and has to be setup again.

Was very impressed with the sound it can deliver with 2 built-in subwoofers. Outstanding sound, particularly when you buy this under 80 bucks. Only issue was the horrible connectivity on wifi. After weeks of research, couldn't figure out the any easy way to connect. Most awful placement of power button at the back, that is also the bluetooth button. If it was at the front, it would be much much nicer to use and see. I could have kept it then. Every time I had to find the back button to wake up the system. Went to Bose wave with much weaker sound but with tons of ease.

Outstanding sound fidelity for size of unit. Only problem needs to be paired with your chromecast devices almost every time you use it.

I got the speaker on sale and this speaker is much better than I expected. It was easy to set up and it sounds great. The Vizio app is terrible but you need it to set up WiFi and to link the speaker to your Google account. I have two of these speakers in a group and they sound even better together, however, one of them drops out without warning.

Cheaper than a sound bar and better sound than something costing more money. Pairs with bluetooth devices (phone,tablet) and wifi. Can get loud without distortion. Great small Speaker. I like it better than the Bose I had.

This blows even some Sonos speakers out of the water in terms of sound quality. When it works. If your casting connection is stable etc. Very poorly implemented software for cast. Still a fantastic Bluetooth speaker though

Love the look. Very clean and sleek. A little to much bass, but that can be slightly adjusted. For a deal of the day....well worth it. But at full price, I would look at other brands within that price range.

Fantastic sound with deep bass and clear highs. With the Smartcast app you can adjust both bass and treble to your liking. With a blutooth TV transmitter you can use it as a sound bar. I bought as the Best Buy Deal of the day. I would recommend this to everyone.

The sound that comes out of this thing is AMAZING.....I love it and the only reason it didn't get 5 stars was sometimes my iphone has a hard time "finding" it to connect too......sometimes it takes two tries to connect, but once it does its worth it.

Deep base. Wish was a smart speaker though. It's big and beautiful. Would be nice if the controls were visible...easy to forget how to use them because you done use them much.
