Best Sound Quality Of Any Sound Bar In Its Class And Pricepoint, Hands-down
1st off I don't understand how I have a Samsung surround system in my living that has 6 speakers!!! 1000 watts 2 tower front speakers, center speaker, subwoofer, and 2 rear speakers and this system only has 4 speakers and it sound better than that!!! This was a disappointing day for me because I did not know how bad my Samsung sound system was until I heard my new Vizio sound system. The Samsung came with a bluray player and has more.adjustments However as far as pure sound quality not features. Samsung can not touch Vizio on that aspect. Don't get me wrong Samsung makes some of the best tv and smartphones on the market. However I do believe that is what they should stick to because when it comes to pure sound quality Vizio has got it down pack. I have used Bose products for years I've had Bose speakers and right now I even have a Bose mini. I must say the this Vizio surround sound system us the closest thing I've seen come to Bose sound quality is Bose. This sound quality is so good in this speak system you will have to look before you tv to make sure there is not someone in the room!!! I'm telling you if is Amazing. This sound is so brillant, clear, crisp, and precise that I sat back & listen to music for hours just because it sounded so good. It's so good you will hear different instruments in songs that you never heard. Now I did hear someone else say that it is not good because it does not have any subwoofer, different adjustments, and settings. I almost took off a star because of this but then I thought about it. Wait, this is a sound bar but this sound bar is SO GOOD that me & including others are actually comparing it to actual flown blown surround sound systems that cost way more money come with more speakers and come with receivers. Granted my Samsung sound system in my living room has way more adjustments and settings but I have used EVERY ADJUSTMENT in that book in the end no what it seem does not come out or sound better then this Vizio system. Please Note: in my house my living room is in the front of my house which is smaller my Vizio sound system is in the middle right next to the living room in a way bigger space. Therefore I came to my conclusion easily how can I take away a star from a sound system that sounds N EARLY PERFECT every time you turn it on without making any adjustments or settings? This is actually a reason to add a star for convenience because honestly who actually wants to have to adjust setting for every song, every movie, and every different thing they listen to on their system like I basically have to do with my Samsung sound system. This is actually a inconvenience not a plus. Let's be clear buyers and reviewers please keep in mind this is only a sound bar. The reason why I know this is only a "sound bar" because it did not come with a receiver. This sound system works from you only connecting one speaker into your tv and all other speakers work simultaneously in unison with that speaker. Therefore comparing a sound bar to a system system with a receiver is like comparing a sound system to a Bluetooth speaker. Hence a sound bar and a Bluetooth are two things that are designed for CONVENIENCE!!! These two things were invented for people like me and you who do not feel like and refuse to buy another sound system that will force you to run speaker wire everywhere, have all type of extra speakers, hardware, box, etc versus simply just buying a sound bar with less hassle, less wire, and less bulk that will produce just as good sound or better sound then a full blown surround sound system with a reciever with 6 speakers. This Vizio sound bar is SO GOOD I almost forgot that it is ONLY a sound bar. Keep mind more sound bars only come with one speaker lol This sound bar is SO GOOD that is comes with the sound bar with satellite speakers and a subwoofer this is AWESOME!!! This is why this sound bar is so strong and can actually compete with other full surround system because it comes with a similar but better set up with less wires and aggravation from setting up. Not to mention this sound bar has built in Bluetooth which means I saved $30 Dollars because now I don't have buy an adaptor to make it Bluetooth it is built in. To ask the question what do I if I have to adjust the setting well my answer to you is very simple you when listening to music I have never even had to, even thought about it, or deemed it necessary to have to adjust any settings when listening to music on this sound bar it literally comes out perfect everytime. However I have listen to movies and the bass has been to loud so on and so forth. So my answer to this is very simple if this ever does happen to you simple just grab you tv remote press menu, go to audio, and adjust the bass settings for the tv and it will transfer to the sound system same concept if you were listening to music on your phone too much bass simple just adjust the settings from that music player on your phone and it will transfer to you sound bar. I have research and have also heard for myself live and in person hoe good these speakers sound. I am telling you right now you WILL NOT find ANY SOUNDBAR that sound THIS GOOD with this MANY FEATURES and this kind of SOUND QUALITY, ANYWHERE. I only paid $200 Dollars for this sound bar system and to tell you the truth they shouldn't of dropped the price because I would of paid $300 for it and it would of been worth every penny. For $200 dollars you won't find a better sound bar guaranteed. I wouldn't even waste my time looking any longer if I were looking at this product. In fact if this product is still only $200 I would hurry up and buy before the price goes back up to $300 that's my advice. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for good sound quality. This product is outstanding

LOVE the sound, but a note on the mounting methods
I suspect our old speakers had just finally given up the ghost (13+ years old), but this system resurrected the sound we didn't realize we were missing. I bought 2: one for our downstairs workout room and one for our living room.PROS:Assembly:Wish I had done this before. No complicated wires or menu setups. VERY easy. I mounted this above the TV due to clearance issues, and I think that actually made the sound better as it put the speaker on the level of the 2 surrounds.Wires:YAY! nothing to trip on or have to otherwise accomodate.Set up:The remote is totally gouge! This would have been near impossible to make it work so well without it. You can also program your TV remote to control the bar (but it might require turning off your TV speakers, which I was not savvy enough to figure out even after pouring over multiple on screen menus).Price:Although we love to have the best possible sound from music and movies, we cannot afford what it takes to justify audiophile quality speakers (i.e., separate audio room specifically designed to optimize high end speakers), but these are perfect. Price range is appropriate and speakers seem to be built well. Though really, if you don't have a dedicated room, why go to the expense of purchasing said speakers for 'just' your living room (unless that living room is not like ours which was built in 1977 and is attached to the kitchen- bad acoustics).Sound:Excellent. The first night we were watching a movie, I kept turning my head thinking the background sounds were coming from our house (was just the right decibel level such that it actually felt like background noise). It was a little disconcerting at first, but made the surround sound experience that much nicer. Subwoofer is nice too. It doesn't blow out your ears, but you can definitely feel it. It seems to have been well paired with the speakers. The overall sound is fantastic. It makes me want to find a movie with distinctive three dimensional audio just to hear it.CONS:General setup: Subwoofer power cable is much shorter than I needed, but then that is why extension cords were born.Mounting (satellites):The thing that made me absolutely nuts, was trying to find a place to put or mount the surround speakers. Although I had older stands as well as new ones recommended by Amazon (Atlantic Satellite 77305018 2 Speaker Stands (Black)), none of the hardware (securing screws) fit the mounting hole in the back of each speaker, and with no other way to mount it, I had to klooge together a fix. Although those stands are actually pretty nice, they are designed for larger bookshelf speakers and because I didn't want the mounting hardware of the stand to stick out past the front of the speaker, I had to use the provided sticky tape and another screw (s) I found in our stash of extra nuts and bolts, that 'sort of' fit. The holes are much smaller than the standard mounts on most speakers this size (and smaller than the included screws in the stand package), so be prepared to get others.Mounting (bar):For one TV, I used generic mounts to put it above the TV. It is 'ok', but seems like the least stable place for it, and getting the mounts (Sewell Direct SW-29908 Universal Soundbar Bracket) lined up was a major PITA (and it is still a bit canted). It also is a bit distracting to have space (where you can see the mounts) between the top of the TV and the sound bar, but due to the mounting holes on the back, and the maximum allowable space of the bar, I wasn't able to get it closer. We have a 36" (I think) flat screen, so maybe it just isn't large enough. However, you only notice this when you first start using the TV, so it isn't a big deal.For the other, I just put it on the stand under the TV (no problemo)Getting started:For the newer model TV, set up was so easy, even my dachshund could do it (and she doesn't have thumbs).For the other TV (about 4 years old or more), it took me an hour and a half to figure out how to make it work.Tips to make your life easier:INPUT INPUT INPUT: A lot of my initial problems turned out to be figuring out why I wasn't hearing anything when there is so little you can mess up setting the hardware up. Turns out that I hadn't set the input (at all). You have a choice of digital optical, digital coaxial, stereo RCA, stereo mini-jack, and USB, but it doesn't automatically figure out which you are using, so you need so scroll through the input button on the remote (if you can't remember which you selected, just wait for the sound to come through:P) However, they have done a very nice job of idiot proofing this by labeling each input with type and number so you aren't guessing when you set it up via the remote.If you have your TV hooked up to... say, a Blue-ray with Wi-Fi, make sure that whatever cable you choose to use is compatible with it. Ours only has a digital coax and a digital optical, so the other inputs on the speaker bar are now unusable). This was again, part of my problem with setup. The first TV was setup directly TO the sound bar, but for the other TV, I had to run the input from the blu-ray directly to the sound bar. Since I couldn't figure out how to turn off the TV sound, I ended up having to switch it (and the blu-ray) to PCM mode (which worked fine).I know many of you might roll your eyes at this next 'revelation', but cut me some slack, I am a wet-bench scientist, not an electrician :P: Yes, it is wireless, but where I got overly excited at not having speaker wires snaking all over the great room floor, I forgot that the subwoofer does need power (yeah, I know... astonishing that it can't get wireless electricity from across the room...), and that means one power cable has to go somewhere to get it.Also, their troubleshooting guide is helpful (even though it is short), and they have a help desk if you have problems.Even though I had some minor issues with setup and mounting, this was a far cry from the DENON receiver I removed, and which had 5 Bose speakers and a subwoofer, complete with associated wiring (either too short or too long), which just cluttered the floor.
