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.

The ac511m comes with a bracket that fits around the base stand of your monitor. It works with most newer dell monitors, but check to make sure it works with yours. It gets power and input from the usb cord that plugs into the back of the monitor.

The volume knob on the side is very nice and sends input back to my dell xps. Sound isn't amazing, but at the same time it isn't bad. Its definitely a lot louder than the built in mac mini speaker! I normally plug headphones into the jack which gives ...  Read More

Painted it black and works great. For day to day telecon work, it's perfect! I hope this helped with your decision.

I'm so dissappointed. Returning for a full refund. Maybe because too many sellers looking to make a buck. Please look elsewhere for a product.

The ae515m sounds subpar. The speaker crackles constantly, independent of volume. Now that seems to be messing with my computer audio.

The soundbar emits a low-level static buzz as soon as the usb cable is connected. The buzz isn't noticable when in use. Calls are all static and other side says echos.
