About 3 years ago I experienced auditory damage as a result of an MRI procedure, during which I was not given adequate ear protection. Since then, my hearing has been declining, and I found TV watching frustrating, because I missed so much, particularly during movies on Netflix. I bought a Bose Solo 5 soundbar, which has a simple on/off feature that enhances dialogue, and for a while, it helped. Then, that, too, lost its usefulness as my hearing worsened. Sometimes I'd have to back up several times on my DVR to catch a key word or phrase, and if that failed, I'd have to turn the volume up really high. It made me feel old, which I am not. Recently I saw the ZVOX soundbars advertised, read reviews of them on Amazon and also by independent review sites, and was greatly encouraged. The AV157 seemed to be the best suited for my needs, and $179 seemed like a fair price--certainly less expensive than hearing aids. I took down the Bose and set up the ZVOX last night. Out of the box, I was a bit skeptical, because the unit is so small-- about 2/3 the size of the Bose soundbar. But already, I can say without qualification that the ZVOX ties for first place, along with my Dyson Absolute stick vacuum cleaner, as the most useful and life-enhancing purchase I have made in a long time. I am a moderately technically savvy female, and had no difficulty setting it up, though it takes no particular skill. The directions are annoyingly on one huge, double sided piece of paper instead of a booklet, but they are written in good English and are easy to follow. The soundbar is essentially "plug and play." First, I attached the power cord and plugged it into an outlet. The Bose soundbar also had connected to the TV with an optical digital toslink, so initially, I didn't use the one provided by ZVOX. But I wasn't happy with the sound quality, and noticed that the cable on the ZVOX was about twice the thickness of the Bose cable. So I switched to the new one, and the improvement was amazing. When I disconnected the Bose cable, the sound reverted to the TV sound, and it sounded like a it was coming from the crystal radio I built with my dad as a 6th-grade science project. What a difference! (So if you have a non-ZVOX optical connector, don't use it.) I am pleased with the remote. It's simple and small, so there's less clutter. (The Bose came with a monstrous remote that controlled everything but the refrigerator, and I disliked it immensely.) As described, it has a few simple controls--for volume, mute, Accuvoice, Surround Sound, and Other (which is for adjusting treble and bass). Accuvoice has 6 levels of what I'll call "clarity of dialogue." To get the additional 6, you hold down the Accuvoice button for several seconds, and it switches over to "Super." I didn't find much difference between the first and second sets of functions, though, and settled on one (Accuvoice 5) that worked for me without being unpleasantly shrill. The crispness of dialogue seems to vary with the TV show or movie, and interestingly, did not degrade the quality of sound on the Music Choice stations. I am able to turn the volume down to "normal" volume, and can still understand every spoken word. The background sounds (and sometimes background music) are toned down, but is still there; it's just no longer distracting. I haven't tried the treble/bass adjustments, and frankly, don't have a need to do so, because I'm so happy with the current sound quality. So, although the description says there are 12 settings, when you add the three options for virtual Surround Sound, there really are 36 options! This feature is surprisingly good, and I am incredulous at the quality of sound that come out of a little 17" piece of technology. One other feature that I like is that the preset, default setting is that the soundbar turns off when the TV is turned off. (This can be changed, so that it can be turned off and on manually.) I like this better than the Bose, for which I had to turn the sound on and off separately. The thing I don't like, however, is that there's no indicator light on the unit that shows whether it's on or off. A package insert boldly states that if you're having difficulty with the unit, don't send it back, call ZVOX. But I have had no problems, so I cannot rate the quality of Tech Support. Overall, I could not be happier with this purchase. It makes me wish, though, that the ZVOX 157 had been available while my mother was still alive. She was severely hearing impaired, even wearing high-tech hearing aids, and it would have made her evenings of TV watching so much more enjoyable. One final note. I bought this soundbar 4 days ago (6/21/21). Tonight I recommended it to a neighbor, whose husband (in his late 70's) has such difficulty hearing that he watches all TV with subtitles on. When I looked on Amazon, the price had gone from $179 to $249, from the same seller and for no apparent reason. This is not OK, and I'm going to phone Amazon for an explanation.

We have come to the conclusion that movies and shows have background that's just super loud and dialog that requires a high level of volume to hear. For the sake of our neighbors, we got this soundbar and it's been the best thing ever. There's so many different levels of adjustability so you can tailor the sound for news, movies and shows. Our dog chewed up the remote and using the TV without it for a week while we ordered a replacement was just horrible! This is a necessity in our house.

I purchased this product because all the modern movies and TV programs have little regard for dialog intelligibility. During the most important dialog of the whole show, they turn up the volume of the background music. You can set The ST157 to improve intelligibility and level-out the volume to minimize the impact of sound engineer's antics. I would have rated it a five, except for a couple of design issues. The first was the wall-mount accomodations. While most speaker bars provide a mounting screw on the bottom allowing the use of an angle bracket, ST157 put it on the back which requires an impossible-to-find Z-bracket. After I made my own it was very difficult to install the screw with the wall restricting access. The other problem is the ST157 changes the audio input on its own when I turn my TV off for about five minutes and back on.

Replaced our expensive Samsung sound bar that basically refused to cooperate with our Samsung smart TV. Who would have thunk it. The sound on this ZVOX sound bar is not only a better sound, but it's more controllable. We can adjust so many different aspects of the sound to better match our hearing abilities, the type of shows we watch, and the room we watch the TV in. If the other ZVOX sound bars are as good as this one, I would recommend the ZVOX to anyone.

Both of us have hearing decline- mine from age, tools, firearms, driving with open windows, farm equipment, hers from decades of orchestra performance and Meniere's disease. And maybe a little bit age...just a little. We can both find a clear level, without too high a volume. We do adjust it, depending on the soundtrack, pretty often. But it's easy, and a huge improvement.

I often struggled to understand what people were saying in TV shows and movies, and in some cases, even with my television volume maxed out, some things were just still too quiet to hear. This soundbar not only provides better volume than my tiny television speakers, but it also boosts the dialogue so that (so far) I have had no trouble hearing and understanding even the most quietly whispered dialogue. I have noticed that raising the Dialogue Boost does cause the audio to lose some bass and start sounding slightly 'tinny', but I'm still giving it 5 stars, because this only happens when the Dialogue Boost as set near maximum and being able to hear the dialogue more clearly is my main purpose for purchasing this particular soundbar, and it does that beautifully.

I was having trouble hearing dialogs, this speaker solved that issue. I use 2 1500 watt speakers, so that wasn't the issue it's that they are made for music but not so great for listening to movies. I was able to hook this into the speakers so now I have the best of both worlds! Powerful bass AND clear dialog. I was turning the sound system too loud in order to hear dialog, when a loud scene would blow up out of the room! Now No more scrambling for the remote. Don't hesitate, buy it!
