Pros and Cons

Pros3

The subwoofer is small but packs a good punch. The sound is rich and clean and the sound separation is very good. This is all you need for most home setups.

It is louder (decibel wise) than our other vizio 2. Treble and mids are also great, not tinny, not muffled. The speakers provide a very listenable sound.

This is the ideal hookup whether you have a connected cable (or other) box or are directly streaming from the tv. Comes with wall mounting hardware for studs or sheetrock. Includes brackets for hanging the surround speakers if you wish.

Cons1

The v20x-j8 is a cheaper model that is not wall-mountable. This is a total rip off for the price i paid as well. I'm waiting for a refund.

Pros5

Now i’m no audiophile but this system is just wow. Ever calibration works all the time, except when you place the rears out of the soundstage range. If you are looking for a room filling sound stage you may want to go with an avr.

The wireless subwoofer and detachable (and rechargeable) surround speakers transform the room quickly for movie nights and sporting events. The magnets that attach the true wireless sides are powerful.

Easy setup first of all. Easy set up and syncing with entertainment system. I am not tech savvy but it was pretty simple hooking it up after watching a few you tube videos.

To reiterate, the bass is amazing! The sub woofer is such great quality. The bass complements the sound and hits hard when it must!

The bar is nice and has a nice profile. It's nice but the drivers are a bit undersized for the price. There aren't many good atmos soundbars with legit wireless speakers. Had been for over 30years. Sonos arc, vizio elevate or samsung hw-q950t.

Cons3

At times it has errors on which interrupt the sound. There is considerable hiss and static in the detachable surround speakers. A charge lasts for around 3 or 4 hours before they start to crackle and need to be charged.

Sometimes it simply stops working and my sound switches back to the tv. This is when it required pulling power to reboot it. If the soundbar is plugged in, it says load and no sound comes out of it.

A supervisor said he doesn't know when they will refund my money.
