Vizio Sound Bar w/ Wireless Subwoofer, VSB210WS

IT SOUNDS GREAT! THE REMOTE FITS IN MY POCKET AND IT SHIPS FOR UNDER A DOLLAR! THAT MAKES UP FOR IT BEING JUST A LITTLE PRICEY.SET UP TIME LESS THAN 10 MINUTES.UNLESS YOUR GOING TO HANG YOURS.MINE FITS NICLEY RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY TV.

Dramatic improvement over the TV's speakers.

The only gripe I have, is the status LED lights. A bar of LEDs tells you which features are on or off, and where your volume and subwoofer volume is. Unless something is being adjusted, the LEDs are off. You don't know, until you start pushing buttons.

A better way to show status clearly would be nice.

I needed a 'loud' speaker system since I have difficulty hearing voices clearly. The Vizio sound bar had been noted in research to have a good volume. The volume is adequate on most channels, but does not clear up the voices. The wiring that came with the soundbar to connect to my TV (Samsung) would not work. Another cord was indicated which I had to buy separately. The worst part of this system is the remote! I thought the system didn't work and was about to take it back, when in desperation I pushed very hard and long on the remote 'buttons', and finally got sound from the sound bar. In all, this is an adequate sound system, the base is good, but the remote is awful!

I bought this to replace a surround sound system I had. The sound quality is comparable to the system with less mess. I love the sound much better than using the speakers in the TV. Plenty of bass, just wish the speakers were capable of being controlled by the Vizio remote from my tv.

I got this about 3 weeks ago and am very happy with it. I bought a VIZIO 47" LCD the week before, but didn't want to deal w/all the wires of a regular surround system. I recommend this item.

We shopped around for a new sound system for our Vizio TV and after buying and returning a very dissapointing Samsung system we decided on the Vizio Soundbar with Subwoofer. We are so glad we did. The installation could not have been easier and the sound rivals our Boze Speakers that we have on our stereo system. The subwoofer is wireless and we have it sitting in a corner where it is barely noticible, except for the amazing sound that comes out of it. It also has a rumble effect so when you are watching a movie and an explosion or something occurs you can actually feel the room vibrate along with the explosion. This product was not offered in our local store, only online....but the shipping was only a dollar and we had it on our doorstep within two days. The only con that I can find is that the remote is rather small and you have to really keep up with it or you find yourself hunting between cushions and under chairs for it...but that is our fault and not Vizio's. I would tell anyone who is looking for a great home sound system.....without having to buy a DVR to go along with it....then this is what you should get. The price was great and it was about a hundred dollars cheaper on Walmart.com than on the Vizio homesite. We are very happy with our purchase.

Excellent sound and great price. I'd highly recommend it.

good sound and value for the money

I bought the Vizio sound bar to go with my Vizio 47" TV. The sound quality is suprisingly good - very good indeed. It provides high quality sound with very crisp stereo separation and sparkling high notes. The volume level can shake the wife's china without distortion.

The setup is simple. There's no wiring clutter like in larger home theater setups. Don't bother buying an optical cable because the supplied red/white cables are all you need. In fact, optical requires a 5.1 system. Another reviewer said a Dish Network remote won't adjust the sound volume on the bar. That's not true - it works great with Dish. Just plug the cables into the audio out on your tv and you're in business. On my Vizio tv, you must turn the sound off from the tv menu system for the audio-out to work - that's to be expected.

When the volume on the tv is muted or the tv is off, there is a perceptible hum if you leave the sound bar on. So, I turn it off when not in use. There's no hum when the product is in use. The subwoofer is very nice and adds a lot of depth.

To summarize, this is a quality product with high quality sound and easy setup. I'd have rated the value higher if it was less money.
