Pros and Cons

Pros5

The sound isn't quite as outrageous as the old setup (that failed on me recently), but it's * loud. Surround sound is amazing and there are many eq settings allowing for adjusting all aspects of your config. The subwoofer isn’t too much—just perfect t...  Read More

The soundbar works well with a vizio tv. There is no sync problem between the action on the tv and the sounds. The only annoying thing is that you have to sync and unsync your speakers every time you want to use bluetooth on your phone. Turning the so...  Read More

Simple setup, plug and play with no issues at all. Fyi for planning where to put them. The echo input is no longer available, but an echo dot or google home mini should function exactly the same.

Bravo vizio. And they are all awesome. It is affordable and serves my needs very well. The sound is awesome.

Cons4

Extremely frustrating considering the cost of these. Very disappointing. False advertising at its finest.

The final nail in the coffin for this garbage product is the extremely annoying voice assistant that has no way of being turned off. The voice assistant has to yell pairing every time i set it to different inputs.

After only 4 mos. Have spent 3 days trying to get this to work. Had to do a complete restart again this morning.

The sound is either too loud or not loud enough. It sounds like dirty * hole. Then there's the sound cutting out everytime there's a bang.

Pros2

Clear voice technology is great for dialog heavy shows. The remote is a bit difficult to navigate.

This sound bar is top notch. The bass is powerful and background music is clear. Other than the over accentuated bass response, which has now been eliminated, the sb500 sounds great, especially for the price.

Cons1

Not natural sound, muffled, unnaturally changed, harsh for ears. Even if you'll set dialog enhancement for 0 (which on the bar is 1.
