The sound bar itself is pretty good, but it came without a remote, power cables, and audio cables for the rear speakers (My rating only considers my experience with the product and not my grievances with best buy). Granted I did buy it open box, but it was open box excellent and excellent condition is expected to include all original parts. The surround sound is solid, so is the bass. The best you can get in a sub $500 soundbar. The atmos experience is a bit lacking due to no up-firing drivers in the rear speakers but is still a nice experience and definitely deserves the atmos tag. There is only one thing that really needs to be said: for the price this soundbar is the best option available if you care about surround sound and atmos.

I love this surround sound. I live in a one bedroom apartment and it's perfect in my family room. It's easy to set up and user friendly. It's sleek and looks nice with my setup. Great sound and bass. Very clear vocals There's lots of customization with the settings according to what you're watching. It does take a little bit to customize the settings to fit your room (I didn't love the set up at first, until I messed around with the settings) The two satellite speakers are great mounted, and come with two really long cords that plug into the bluetooth subwoofer so you can put them in both far corners of your room (shown in second pic, I covered the cables up with white gaffer tape to hide them) The soundbar has two HDMI ports which is nice since the HDMI plug in is the best way to use the soundbar Connects quickly and stays connected to tv. Regular TV remote can control volume, but it does come with a remote Comes with hardware to mount the soundbar and the two satellite speakers. Subwoofer doesn't have any mesh-like material on it (aka your cats won't want to scratch on it)

I originally purchased the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) for $400 as I was excited to try it after reading such raving reviews about how awesome it sounded. Long story short it was a beautiful soundbar with underwhelming sound…and it requires internet connection and is always on which I don’t like. I quickly returned it. In to the Vizio..I wasn’t super excited as I had no experience with Vizio and considered it a budget brand which normally isn’t great but not bad. Boy was I wrong about this. You’re getting superior quality sound, the build quality is great, the setup is easy, the customization settings are a huge plus whether I’m watching YouTube,Blu Ray movies on my PS5 or TV shows I can customize it to my needs. The sound is GREAT and increasing the dialogue in Media was my biggest want as it’s always so quiet while action sequences are explosive and I hated that problem at night. This Soundbar remedies that, and then some. The Bass is booming and can be adjusted it sounds so good. The little side speakers that you can place behind you or next to the main soundbar sound great and add depth. Sound has overall height (that can be adjusted too) depth, clarity, and quality. I would have been much happier spending $400 for this over the Sonos Beam. Luckily it’s not just better, but it’s far cheaper which puts a big smile on my face as I’m not just saving money, but buying a superior sound system for my living room. I knew I was keeping this one immediately and the raving reviews are on point with this sound bar. I even tried it at BestBuy in person in their soundbar demo section and liked the sound over any of the other units they had on display. Absolutely recommend. I’m no sound engineer but I can’t imagine spending hundreds more will get you that much better sound. This exceeded my expectations and I am thrilled to use it daily. Highly recommend.
