Vizio 3.1 is more than enough!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm using this soundbar with my 55" vizio 4k and it sounds great. My room is about 15'x10' and it fills the room efficiently. The subwoofer is so tiny, only about 8"x9" but for some weird reason it produces deep loud bass. The bar turns on with the TV and cable box using the universal remote from our cable provider. The only reason this one gets 4 stars is because of the price. Good thing I have 75$ reward certificate and brought it down to $190.

Great sound bar system with minimal fuss
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this Vizio sound bar system now for more than a month. I've paired it with a new 65" Vizio 4k television in my living room, and I'm glad I did. It sits on the stand in front of the speaker, and doesn't block anything on the television (which I was worried about prior to buying). Initially, for the first few months of owning just the television, I watched TV and enjoyed everything about it, except for the sound. The stock speakers in the TV just didn't produce the quality of sound that came from my older, now dead Samsung LED DLP television - so I went on the hunt for a speaker solution that didn't take up a lot of space, but would still produce a clear sound that could replace the stock television speakers -- which again were basically horrible. The Vizio sound bar provides a lot of value for the price. So if you're looking for really good value, with a crisp, clean sound that helps make dialogue of TV shows understandable, does a nice job on simulated surround sound, and has a decent sub woofer for movies and music, I would definitely add this one to your list of potentials. The sub woofer is pretty good, although it doesn't pack as much punch as my larger wired speaker system with dedicated audio receiver (understandable). But I wanted something clean that takes up less space in my living room, without the wires and clutter, and this setup delivers. We also enjoy and take advantage of the Bluetooth feature which was an added bonus at this price range. Everything we needed came inside of the box, which meant getting it hooked up on day 1. If I were going to ding this thing for anything, the only negative I've come across so far was when watching TV and hitting pause for an extended period of time and then pressing play, the show resumes but the sound may not, which means hitting the up or down volume button to "kick start" it and get the sound back.

Great sound bar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What attracted me to this particular sound bar was the fact that it was a 3.1 vs. the 2.1 you see on most sound bars in this price range. The wireless subwoofer works great and you don't notice any lag or distortion between the two devices. Quick note, I personally have them set up pretty close to each other. I was surprised at the sound coming out of this thing. Good high's, mid's, and low's. The sub does a good job overall, but it lacks the ability to handle the REAL low end bass notes. Overall, it does sound really good. This unit has no problem getting loud. I have been really satisfied with the quality of sound coming out of it. The bluetooth function works really well. Remote control gives you ability to do everything from it. There is no LED screen, but a simple 'dot' style menu on the left side of the sound bar. This menu system is simple and works great. Also, the unit comes with all the different types of cables to hook up your soundbar into whatever it is you have. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.

Downsizing stereo not sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased to downsize from my current living room surround sound system. I bought figuring if it wasn't an ok replacement - it would probably be awesome in the bedroom. While the subwoofer can't possibly replicate my former 12inch sub.. Whoa! To my surprise that tiny little box produces a strong super strong bass! I have had zero Bluetooth streaming issues - the Bluetooth works properly and you can use the remote to control your music on your phone/iPod. The sound is powerful - the system is easy to use and sound adjustments are available for treble bass and center which is very nice. For the price - it's a great value. It's loud, powerful and the sub and remote are compact. Set up was a breeze - took me about 1 minute to complete set up..2 minutes to adjust my sound preferences.. And 3 minutes in the beginning to open the box lol. (You don't need to be electronically inclined to set this up). While its no Bose system - the soundbar and sub combo are a quality sound replacement for older or larger stereos without ripping a serious hole in your wallet. Vizio is doing a great job with their home electronics. Super satisfied - and will probably continue to purchase vizio products.

Sure Beats the TV sound quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this w/ the new 4K tv, b/c of the awful sound quality coming from thinner TVs and the over emphasis by producers on background music and noise to the detriment of voice quality. We've been quite pleased with the performance of this system. Geek Squad set it up when they delivered the TV. Have tinkered with some of the (remote accessible) features. Enjoying TV and movie watching much more and really enjoying the bluetooth feature enabling Pandora & iTunes to run through it.

Amazing Soundbar!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar was an excellent purchase, and a steal at the sale that I got it for! (Under $200) The sound that you get from such a compact device is absolutely astonishing, and myself and my girlfriend use it all the time. Whether we're listening to music, watching a movie, TV show, or what have you, the sound is always clear and crisp. I have put together my own system for a little bit more cash, but even this bar has blown it out of the water. You'll have a lot of people tell you that you can do better on your own, and that may be true, but if you're looking at having a system that works, requires nearly no setup at all, this is it! A couple things to note of course are that the DTS TruVol and the DTS TruSurround features are turned on and off there are notable differences in sound, and help majorly when you need to hear more of the vocals in a quiet environment. Other than that, everything else is completely straightforward in working, and I definitely recommend this to anyone that's looking for an inexpensive (NOT cheap) audio system, that will push out loud volumes, and clear audio.

Outstanding
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding sound and bass. I have never been a fan of vizio. Always thought of them as Walmart's Brand. But compared side by side with Samsung and Sony, there was no comparison. The price was unbeatable as well.

Vizio Sound Bar with Bluetooth Bass
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The whole process from picking out the Vizio Sound Bar with Bluetooth Bass Unit. to the and installation went without a flaw. The sound is much better that my old TV and it setup to my Vizio TV with ease. I gave Best Buy excellent ratings when they sent out emails to me. I have recommended Best Buy to my friends.

Amazing!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went into the store with the intention of buying the BOSE Lifestyle Soundtouch 135 to replace my Klipsch soundbar that broke after 14 months. The salesperson talked me into trying this Vizio soundbar, I was very skeptical at first and didn't think it could compare to a BOSE product. I was wrong, this product is amazing and the quality is great. I highly recommend you save some money, don't buy the more expensive product and enjoy this great soundbar!

Good Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am from the old school that prefers the 6 + speakers of traditional surround sound.However, I wanted to try the new technology that replaced speaker wires with wireless and Bluetooth. The sound quality is really exceptional, and will immerse you in what you are watching. I love the Bluetooth option I can use to play my music from my phone. The delete the requirement for a cd player, receiver, and all the extra miles of wire My only regret is that I should have payed the extra money for the rear surround speakers.

First soundbar, not bad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first sound bar, so I can't compare to others, but I've been mostly happy. It has plenty of power, and the wireless sub is nice. Directional effects aren't that impressive. It powers down due to no signal way to quickly. If you pause your DVR for instance for 5 minutes or so, it will shut off. I haven't checked if it is a setting that can be changed yet though. Bluetooth feature is great for listening to music on the fly, and has given me no issues, unlike many other Bluetooth devices I've used. Aside from the idle time, the other feature I don't like is the line of LEDs used instead of a normal display. A simple small display screen would have been MUCH better. Trying to remember what patterns mean what isn't fun.

Great soundbar. One flaw
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great soundbar, especially for the price. The only flaw that I have noticed so far is the sound bar will turn on with the tv. I don't always want the soundbar on so this is a little annoying. Even when you turn off the soundbar and decide to turn up the sound on your tv, the soundbar will turn back on. Maybe there is a setting to change this but haven't found it yet! Other than that it sounds excellent for a soundbar. Mounting takes some time to get it level but once done it's great.

Vizio sound bar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound bar works great, sounds great and looks great. The salesperson was not as knowledgeable as I would have hoped for and almost let me leave with a sound system $200 more than the one that I wanted. Once again an excellent product from Best Buy and priced fairly. Other than the folks working in the cell phone area I have yet to meet an associate who is familiar with the products they are selling. I'm always very cautious to do my own research before purchasing due to that fact.

Great Value, great sound,
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Philips TV sound was pretty flat. I checked out several add-on speaker systems from Bose to Samsung to Sony to Visio. If money was no issue I would buy a Bose speaker system. The Visio system with the bluetooth and separate wireless subwoofer provides rich clear and lively sound to out 42-inch TV. We have played the soundbar right in front of the TV and it works really well. The combination of the remote control and the LEDs on the speakers provide clear feedback as to what is going on and how you have it set up. I am happy with the system. Added bonus was that I found an open box buy from Best Buy online and saved about $75. Despite it being an open box all parts were in the box and everything looked brand new!

Affordable but lacks display
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm happy with the purchase. The sound is clean, and the enhancements work well. Switching inputs is less than ideal (there is only a moving series of lights, so you have to remember which input is which). It also takes a moment to register a new input, so many times I think the remote click did not register and end up keep missing my input (say, #2 of 6), and I have to cycle through all again. But I didn't expect a lot of feedback from a small, economical unit.

Excellent sound bar!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing sound bar. I've come to enjoy Vizio products immensely and this sound bar is no exception. Having that added center channel really helps bring out the audio in whatever you are watching. The bluetooth connectivity is an added bonus as we can connect any bluetooth device and play music through that input. Also there are 7 inputs available, which should be plenty for any home audio/video set up.
