The DTS Virtual:X technology works wonders in creating a surround sound atmosphere without the need for additional speakers. Whether I'm watching movies, streaming shows, or playing games, the immersive audio quality adds a new dimension to my viewing experience. The sound is crisp, clear, and fills the room, making every moment more engaging. One of the standout features for me is the Bluetooth connectivity.

The Bluetooth feature also adds convenience for those who want to declutter their space without compromising on audio performance. The inclusion of voice assistant compatibility is a thoughtful touch. Being able to control the sound bar with my voice using a compatible assistant enhances the overall user experience. It's a testament to VIZIO's commitment to keeping up with modern technology trends. The compact design of the sound bar is another plus.

The remote control is intuitive, and the on-screen display provides clear feedback when adjusting settings. Considering the competitive price point, the VIZIO V-Series 2.0 Sound Bar is a fantastic value for the quality of audio it delivers. It has transformed my home entertainment system, making movie nights and gaming sessions more enjoyable than ever. In conclusion, if you're in the market for a compact yet powerful sound bar that won't break the bank, the VIZIO V-Series 2.0 is a top-tier choice. It's a reliable and feature-packed audio solution that elevates your home theater experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable upgrade in sound quality.

The speaker is a little smaller and I was concerned that the sound would suffer. I was absolutely wrong! The sound is rich and clean and the sound separation is very good. It powers on when you turn on the TV so it doesn't waste power when the TV is off, unlike the first unit. Set up was simple and there are various inputs you can use. My only regret is not purchasing this one first instead of the slightly cheaper one that died right after the warrantee expired. Buy this one, you won't be disappointed!

Super easy to setup and connect. Works great with Apple TV remote and was automatically detected. Used HDMI connection with ARC from the TV and worked perfect with visio television. Like it was made for it ;). Super loud top volume and great bass for movies. Only complaint (and may be just a limit of a mini 2.1 soundbar) is the clarity of the dialog. Most of the midrage/center channel signal is pretty muddy. I end up having to turn it up louder than I want to just to understand the dialog. Maybe able to compensate with eq on the tv but default is pretty hard to hear dialog

My family and I do not have a TV or entertainment center; the 5 of us watch movies on a laptop in a very large living room (about 750 sq feet). The screen is fine, but the sound has always been lacking. I've "gone thru" a variety of computer speakers. They are all OK, but not great. I finally decided to pay a bit more money for better sound, and I am not the least disappointed with this 24 inch sound bar. The volume, the lows and highs and overall quality is truly remarkable. It takes a couple of tries to pair it with my computer's blue tooth, but that may be a problem with my computer; and in any case, it always pairs, and sometimes the first time. The remote is quite handy (eg, you can switch from movie mode to music mode, etc). My only complaint is that it takes a rocket scientist to get the back cover off to insert the batteries. But it will come off with enough patience and a little luck. Wonderful soundbar! UPDATE: bluetooth pairing now works flawlessly. I just needed to "train" my computers to register the speaker.

We installed this unit in our RV right under the TV and it works great. The virtual surround works as good as our muti-speaker system in the house and i have no idea how they got that amount of base out of such a small unit. Maybe it's because its a small area but the surround almost takes you by surprise. It is connected via HDMI so it turns on/off with the TV and is controlled by the TV remote. You can also use the provided remote for settings if needed. It comes with a wall mount that we used. For the cost and the size I can't recommend it enough.

When I bought the soundbar, I had given no consideration to attaching an Alexa device to it, but as I was hooking things up, I became curious about the AUX VA 3.5mm jack. I had an Echo Input on hand and decided to try it. The Echo Input is no longer available, but an Echo Dot or Google Home Mini should function exactly the same. I have the soundbar attached to the TCL TV's HDMI ARC jack and am AMAZED at how well the three devices function together. When you say the “Alexa” wake word, the TV is automatically muted for the duration of the response. If you give a command that plays music, the music plays continuously while the video remains playing on the TV. This integration with the TV is in addition to being able to hear any voice assistant output over the soundbar when the TV is off. I will leave detailed reviews about the sound output to others, I'll just say that I am pleased with it even without a subwoofer

By the exorbitant amount of raving reviews, I'm shocked to my disappointment in this soundbar. It's merely plug and play indeed, but lacks any real adjustments though. I paired this with a Vizio 50" MQX TV, so I was expecting a well balanced sound...or at least better than the small rear drivers in the MQX. What I got was very superb high quality sound of every type EXCEPT the most important...speech! With the TV speaker volume it needs to be about 20-25 out of 100 to be loud enough. With this soundbar it needed to be 64-70 for the voices to be sufficient volume. BUT, then the music, dynamic sounds and immersive sounds would be blaringly loud. Another thing on the sound, as a gamer, it got rather annoying trying to tweak the minimal adjustments to make the two games I tried out sound pleasantly, but then when I switched to TV for a movie, I had to re-tweak the sound for TV. The few EQ sets it has doesn't seem to set and stay set upon changing. Also, while using the soundbar, twice my TV suddenly restarted on two occasions and my TV's picture settings would suddenly disable numerous settings greying them out until I changed picture set to and from... Soon as I stopped using the bar, that odd issue stopped as well. Even just the mediocre speech leveling alone, I cannot recommend this bar. Can't enjoy a movie if you can't hear what they're saying unless you wish to go deaf from every other sound in the film... In conclusion, I am returning the V20 soundbar as I'm rather disappointed the voice leveling is something they seemed to have forgotten to equal out.

VIZIO sound bar is amazing. We bought a new tv that was on sale. Has a great picture. The size of the tv is what we wanted. The sound sucks. So we bought the VIZIO sound bar. The sound bar made everything great. Listening to race cars wow! Thank you VIZIO

She love it and happy

I have a hearing deficit and can watch Chicago Fire without subtitles! Easy setup and the shipper was terrific. Good tone on the sound bar also.

Comes with an HDMI cable that connects to your HDMI Arc port on your TV, assuming you have one. For me that was HDMI 1, so I had to reverse my other HDMI connections to get it to work. Otherwise it can be connected via Bluetooth but HDMI was recommended. Better sound clarity than the built in Samsung speakers in my case.

good price, simple design, good sound, easy to install

Nice and smaller then I thought it would be
