Since this is a brand new sound bar, there aren't too many reviews or ratings available to rely on. But at $179, ok, a few extra dollars. I hope my review helps other potential buyers.

This unit has both bluetooth, and a 3. Mm headphone jack. The only con is that the dolby atmos is almost non-existent. Hdmi passrhrough. Works great for my 4k lg tv (and) an apple tv.

The sound is full and takes advantage of the dynamic sound feature of the tv. It definitely provides that umph to our tv and my family is happy. I find myself getting lost into shows and movies the sounds just grabs me. It's not too tall so it does no...  Read More

The equalizer is a nice feature to dialing in a great experience. The one thing that stands out the most:is the dialog/voice.

Simple to set up and only took a few adjustments to fine tune to our viewing area. Updating the firmware to version 2. Is a breeze. The difference in sound from my old setup to my new setup is a whole world of difference. Eq has a number of modes, all...  Read More

The setup (via hdmi arc) and remote functions are wonky at best. The earc negotiation between the samsung tv i have and the vizio soundbar is often not successful resulting in no sound. My setup is only for wireless. Save your money and upgrade to sam...  Read More

Out of the blue, it got stuck in demo mode somehow. Supposedly this is to do with lpcm, but that setting did nothing. They ask you to reboot and reconnect the same a wires multiple times on each call. The issue still isn't resolved.

It smells. It's counter intuitive and clumsy. Sometimes it works.

Voice is crisp and clear. Easy to hear heavier british accents. Bass is much louder and the sound is crisper.

The compact bar has enough bass to not even need a subwoofer. This also contains 4 full-range speakers which are larger than the old solo 5 design and have a higher quality sound. Bought this soundbar without the sub-woofer and was very impressed with...  Read More

The soundbar wakes up the moment you put your tv on, or by voice commands if you use google asistant (i'm a samsung phone user) it comes with alexa or google assistant. Using hdmi/arc to control it.

The soundbar doesn't need it for everyday tv watching, it sounds so amazing. And i'll preface any other comments with, it's a great bar for tv or classical music. The only real negative about this sound bar that i can think of is the controller it com...  Read More

Super easy to set-up and connects easily to all our devices. I like to do everything from my phone in a single app, so that’s a bit annoying but not a dealbreaker.

It's completely insane how hard it is to find the magical combination of fiddling with it that will make it work. The microphones for alexa integration are hot garbage. It is just alexa and does not have any functionality for the tv or any apps and st...  Read More
