  • Outstanding !!!
I had been tracking the previous Atmos soundbars from Vizio. They are relatively expensive at $900 and $500 - still much cheaper than top of the line LG and Sonos'. Sometimes I would see the smaller version go on sale for $300. Then I saw a very favorable review for this unit on RTINGS.com. Even better, the refurbished unit was only $175. I ordered it and low and behold, it's good. Pros: Very, very easy to set up. Very clean and loud sound with a surprisingly good little sub. I own an 8 inch B&W, a 10 inch ELAC and a 10 inch SVS so I am used to deep bass. The soundbar is also slimmer than any of the other Vizio soundbars I own and just slightly taller than the Yamaha soundbar it replaced. There's a cool feature where a smart speaker can be connected to a separate line or Bluetooth connection. When the the smart speaker wants to "speak", the soundbard will reduce the main source volume and then bring the volume back afterwards. It actually worked. It does accept an Atmos bitstream.. The surround is typical Vizio good. Part of the remote is backlit. ARC works from my TCL TV. Very good features and value for the money. Cons: (These are all minor) For a soundbar with such good dialogue clarity, there's very little "air" and imaging in the front, even at close range. the Surround and Virtual Surround help but there's still a lack of focus. Atmos sounds different but I couldn't detect any height. My main system (Yamaha, Monitor Audio, Definitive, SVS) is hyper-focused and Atmos is obvious. The remote is a little hard to use. Not terrible but not something you will pick up in the dark to make a quick adjustment. No ethernet or wifi streaming. Typical crappy, Vizio LED status display. Overall, Vizio makes good soundbars, especially since there are so many refurb units out there. None of the ones (5) I have purchased have every failed and Vizios are just shy of audiophile quality. Most soundbars are FAR inferior to the typical Vizio. Highly recommended ... show more

  • Good quality sound and amazing value Good quality sound and amazing value
I bought the Vizio sound bar to replace my Samsung H550. I didn’t need (or have the space for) a full receiver and 5.1/7.1 speaker system and after reading several reviews I felt the V51x would be a good match. I bought the product renewed from Amazon and set it up the same day it arrived. The speakers are small but sound clear and I haven’t had any issues with dialogue (a common problem with most budget sound bars). In fact Vizio even provides the ability to increase dialogue volume (the defaults were fine for me). There is a night mode that suppresses some of the lower frequencies and it is easy to adjust the subwoofer level, surround, and center levels. The subwoofer is pretty small (half the size of my Samsungs) however the bass is well pronounced and more than sufficient for small/bedroom use. One good thing about the setup is that the subwoofer has its own power cord and is used to drive the surrounds, since the subwoofer and center talk wirelessly, it’s easy to put the surrounds in a more ideal location without having to run wires from the front center to the back/sides where the surrounds normally would be. So far the wireless connectivity has worked without issues (my Samsung would occasionally have pairing issues), if I do run in to issues, I’ll update my review. I had bought the sound bar renewed and unfortunately the “renewed” quality cannot be trusted, my system came with an obviously faulty remote. The remote with this system has a LCD screen at the top, the screen is critical in controlling subwoofer, center, dialog volumes and other settings. Unfortunately my remotes LCD didn’t work (the LCD panel showed some sort of a dark leak, see picture of working and no working remote). Fortunately Vizios warranty support is superb and after describing the issue they sent me a new remote (I had a replacement within a week). My only minor grip is the need to keep the sound bar remote, I would have preferred if you could control the other settings (besides volume, Bluetooth and input selection) from the sound bar as well. I typically don’t use the sound bar remote as the TV remote allows me to control volume along with all other TV/channel controls. This means that there is a chance for the less frequently used sound bar remote to get lost, ideally a user should be able to make all changes without needing the remote. ... show more

  • Best bang for buck
Best entry level system for the money. Ive heard more expensive systems almost twice the price not sound much different. The room i have this in isnt a big room id say its on the smaller side and its more than enough. Its usually not higher than 50%. The features all work well. Dialogue booster is the only one that doesnt make a huge difference but its noticeable. Ive had this thing for probably between 1-2 years. Only issues ive had with it is that it has just randomly turned off and you have to unplug it and plug it back in and wait a second for it to pair again. The other thing which isnt really an issue usually is when you watch movies make sure your tru volume feature is turned off unless youre watching it on low volume because it will mess with the clarity of the sound enough to annoy at least me and the people watching. Make sure you also use hdmi-arc for best sound quality. I have it hooked up to arc and to aux for watching things on my monitor as well on the xbox. (I have a two screen setup) bluetooth sounds solid as well but when using arc, its a noticeable difference is sound clarity. Its a very solid system for the price to say the least. ... show more

  • Great Neutral Sound
This soundbar has a surprisingly good neutral sound for the cost. I got them refurbished (even cheaper) and I feel i got more than my money's worth. Dialogue is very clear and can be boosted with onboard dialogue-eq settings. Bass is good. To get the most true-to-life bass response, you might want to turn the subwoofer down one or two clicks as it does seem somewhat boosted out of the box. It does get rather loud from 0-75% volume but anything other than that and you will start to hear some distortion. Note that these get quite loud at 75% and I wouldnt go beyond that without feeling real discomfort from the volume. The surround speakers are ok. They do the job of demonstrating that there are objects behind/next to you but the sound isnt amazing or anything beyond that. They are average and passable for the price. Overall this is a great setup for people who want the most bang for the buck. Note: I also tried Vizio's M series and felt these were just as good as those (relatively speaking). The only slight disadvantage is the surround satellites are ever so slightly worse on the V models but well worth the $100 savings in my opinion. If you can get these on a deal, you'll be getting even more for your money. i would not regret to buy these again if I had to. Better than Samsung at the same price tier for sure. ... show more

  • Excellent Value
After reading quite a few reviews that talk about how good this sounds for the price, I decided to buy it and I was not at all disappointed. Many reviewers mentioned their surprise at how good the subwoofer sounded for being so small, so I wasn't surprised to see that they were absolutely correct (I am definitely impressed with the sub). What I WAS surprised by, was how CLEAR the overall sound was. I was honestly not expecting such a great audio experience from VIZIO, let alone for an extremely great value. It was no problem to set up through my TV's HDMI ARC output for seamless, lag-free audio from my game consoles and other connected devices. I especially appreciate the vocal prompts during set up. It gets waaaaay louder than I expected after reading some of the reviews. The included remote also has a plethora of settings making it highly customizable to suit many different tastes. If you are placing the Left and Right "rear speakers" on the sides of the sound bar, I HIGHLY recommend changing the surround settings to "Surround Front" from the remote. Bluetooth worked perfectly. Pretty good Soundstage for such a small package and I'm definitely more than satisfied with my purchase. ... show more

  • Good Home Theater for good price!
I have been looking at this product for a long time before I finally saw a refurbished option that was like $40 less and decided to give it a try. I paid less than $160 for a refurbished one. The setup was pretty easy (literally just plugging unless you want to try other fancy stuff like connecting it to home assistance). Connecting to Alexa was a bit of challenge. And even after I connected it, the voice coming from Alexa was WAY too small (I couldn't even hear it when I left it at its usual sound level). I had to either crank up the speaker volume (which then wouldn't been idea when I'm using it for something else) or Alexa's volume (which if the speaker for some reason turned off would be way too loud). I gave up on using it for alexa. Otherwise the product give good sound quality and i don't notice any kind of latency from it being cordless! and that helps so i don't have to wire along the ceiling like at my prior apartment which was a mess. ... show more

  • set up was smooth and so is the sound
I had a Vizio 5.1 soundbar that was fine, until is started acting up. I tryed a Sony 2.1 unit as a replacement and it didn't work well with my Vizio TV, meaning I had to use 2 remotes one for the TV and another for the sound. Therefore I decided to stick with Vizio and ordered this one. It has been excellent. Set up easily, and works just fine with my Vizio TV. The sound is better too. 1st the voices on the TV: movies, news, sports, and shows all are cleaner and it is easier to understand the dialog. The earlier Vizio and the Sony were OK, but this is definately better. The surround sound is also better than the earlier Vizio and way better than the Sony. Movies are impressive and you feel like you are in the stands at some sports games. The bass from the subwoofer is also very strong, and very smooth. Not overpowering, but a solid prescence that really adds to the sound quality. Better bass than my other soundbars for sure. I rated the sound with 4 stars because you can spend big $$$$ and get audiophile systems that beat it, but for the money and ease of use this soundbar gives great sound. With Vizio my only concern is longevity, so I did get the extra warranty coverage. Hoping it holds up. ... show more
