VIZIO 5.1 Soundbar SE, Wireless Subwoofer, Surround Sound w/Dolby Atmos & DTS:X, Bluetooth Speaker, QuickFit™ Compatible – SV510X-08 (New, 2024 Model)

When i got my Vizio TV i always had problems listening to movies because the audio would be so compressed thats the speech would be low and the atmosphere sounds would be louder so this leveled the playing feild.It was easy to set up, and looks beautiful under my tv. It was literally plug and play, nothing needed to load or charge, the wireless connection was instant and the configuration was precise to fit any size of room you have it in.For the price it was definitely worth it but the only downside is that the remote is sold separately so accessing the Bluetooth wont be possible since the bar itself has no buttons.

I purchased this set for my new Hisense 75U7N tv. The tv is great but the sound controls are practically non-existent. So, I purchased the 5.1 Vizio soundbar with subwoofer and rear speakers. Warning: don’t try to adjust the settings in the Hisense tv. You’ll never get it to sound right. Get the Vizio mobile app and pair with your tv and then with your phone. Setup was easy. THEN you can adjust the sound from the app to your heart’s content. Easy. EQ as well as preset Movie and Music settings. After that the sound is amazing! Great price. Great sound.

The out of the box sound of this isn't super great. Highs and lows are almost non existent. Setting the EQ to direct and turning on TruVolume via the app gets it 90% of the way to sounding good. Then adjusting the various other sliders for your specific room should do the rest. If the sound was half decent out of the box, this would be 5 stars. The out of the box sound is truly terrible though.Having to set up an account for the app is annoying, but being able to use an app to tune everything is a much better experience compared to fighting through menus or worse, deciphering led blinks on the sound bar (the solution some other sound bars use).Setup is easy, and the mix of wired and wireless is nice (no cable running to the back of the room, but also no hunting down for separate outlets for the speakers). No pairing was required, which was nice. There don't seem to be any drop outs either, even in the dense area I'm in.I do wish there was an additional input option, other than HDMI (like some sort of toslink/optical) as I don't really have free HDMI ports, but for the price one port is acceptable. It does mean there isn't any input fiddling which is nice I guess.Overall, good value for the price, after some tuning.

I honestly was worried that I’d spend $200 and not like the sound quality. I have sophisticated ears and can be picky about speakers. But in this price range, I don’t doubt these are the best. Everything is crystal clear, the soundbar really does sound like 3 different speakers (left, right and center). I’ve experienced zero distortion (and the first thing I did was put on Man of Steel to hear it deal with intense music and a lot of action), and I’m surprised at the difference it immediately made. Once you dial it in to your taste, it’s exactly like being at the movies. And no more dialog being super quiet while music and action are super loud.It’s easy to setup, comes with everything you need right in the box. I have little side tables on each side of my couch, so the satellite speakers sit in line with the back of the sofa, the subwoofer is on the bottom shelf of the left side table. My apartment living room isn’t big, the TV is about 8 feet away with the soundbar underneath. Once I turned it all on and put the app on my phone it immediately connected to the soundbar via Bluetooth, and this is how you change settings and adjust EQ and balance. A lot of people complain about this, but I like it. I like being able to have more than a button on a remote, I like the visual representation of what I’m adjusting. Once you’re happy with the balance and EQ, your TV remote should adjust volume (at least mine does, connected via HDMI ARC). So you won’t have to use the app every time.The speakers have weight to them, even the small satellite speakers. They don’t feel cheap, even though they’re made of hard plastic with fabric over the fronts. The power cables could be a little longer (they’re standard size, 3’ or 4’), but the speaker cables from the woofer to the satellites are very long. It’s cool they included little Velcro cable ties, so you only need to unravel what you need and it stays organized.Literally my only complaint is having to create a Vizio account in the app to control this system. Love the app, hate junk emails.

I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an inexpensive sound system. I had it out of the box and installed in less than 5 minutes. I recommend pairing it with a Vizio tv as well, it allows for the under tv mount, which just makes it that much easier and truly I like the look better, no need for trying to find a place to put it. Sound is incredible and the bass rattles the floor on the highest setting! But can also be quiet when the kids are asleep.

Nice soundbar but does not include a remote control. You have to download a Visio App and register the soundbar to have access to the soundbar settings. The App works ok but I prefer having a remote control for input and settings access. If my dad is visiting or housesitting he has no way of changing the sound from movie to game or any other adjustments he may like. Just irritating.I purchased a Samsung - 75” Class Q70D Series QLED 4K Smart Tizen TV (2024) and the soundbar was kind of plug and play, seemed to automatically connect to the TV once plugged in. Sound quality is good for the price. I replaced a $700 Samsung soundbar with this one because the old one kept disconnecting from my new TV without warning, didn’t like the Qsymphony setup. If this new soundbar did not exclude the remote control I would have given 5 stars.
