ZVOX AccuVoice AV100 Compact TV Soundbar Speaker with 6 Levels of Voice Boost, Black

Good for voice clarity…not so much for music etc.

Excellent product ,a shame it came with an American plug !

Comes with US plug and you won't get help from the seller or Amazon.

la prise de courant n'est pas aux normes françaises

Can now here dialogue during movies

Wow my carcass is 47 years young and my spouse is 7 years younger, bottom line we both have "horrible hearing" eg. "slave to grind" in the call center environment "wearing a head set like a crown" since 16 years of age and the bonus/gift of "tinnitus". This soundbar offers a totally satisfactory experience like no other being a stand alone unit. The only thing comparable thus far has been "Breakaway Audio Enhancer" software but that's not an option because its too much effort to "watch TV" on a desk top or laptop cause its "too much effort" and electricity to boot. The "straw that broke the camels back" and forced me/us to do a "leap of faith" on this fine product was my self and spouse attempting to watch Species II(1998 academy award winner), the movie was a downloaded "backup" and lacked subtitles (.srt) and or captions (cc). Yes subtitles can be acquired on the internets via download but locating and syncing would be a new problem, again too much effort. We kept looking at each other and saying "I cant understand what they are saying" and then self would "crank the volume" only to lower it once something exploded or someone started shooting in the movie. The thing that made me believe this bar was a tried and true solution was the amount of images of people in their "golden/twilight years" on the box and listings advertainments/ promo materials. We firmly believe the "back firing" speakers is a real problem and forces people to upgrade to a sound bar or surrounding sound system eg. more money spent. I think it was George Lucas that said 50% of the movie is sound. If you cant understand the movie, your just looking at a pretty picture. For some people/family's captions/subtitles is a polarizing household dilemma/fight eg. complaining/personal preferences "get the words off the screen" its distracting or subs/cc is simply NOT an option. This bar is cute (mini) and small but oh so powerful, in combination with the 6 levels of voice boost, perfect for focusing on dialogue rather than say something with a subwoofer for people looking for that "boom-boom-pow" (gotta get that) my self and spouse both agree that this bar can be a bit of hassle for those "technically inclined" with older TVs or just age: where are your children, nieces and nephews when you need them? maybe a converter can be utilized or simply reconnecting with family or summoning geek squad would remedy these scenarios. Side note first world problems and or lack of effort 1. self's original order for the "espresso" was canceled by amazon (self got the espresso because I was being cheap and felt like i did not need the remote because I already have like 100 remotes and did want to add to the collection) so after the order was cancelled I opted to "spend some cash" for the version with the remote (unsolved mysteries update: note looks like the listing the espresso is gone maybe this is the reason the order was cancelled, self can only assume the stock was low/ phased out/delisted/some mysterious logistical/or carl jungs concept of synchronicity ) 2: this did not work with my older panasonyonic tv (analog digital out) (maybe a converter would have sufficed ) again too much effort opted to use a newer tv with an optical digital in/out (see attached photos for more detail)

I recently got a new vizio 65" tv and sound quality was so bad.I actually thought I might be losing my hearing. Not wanting to spend a lot of money, i did some research and found the zvox accuvoice, AV 100 compact TV soundbar speaker. I thought I would have to get somebody to help my hook it up. To my surprise , it was basically plug and play. The muffled voices, and excruciating loud background noise I was dealing with from my visio tv speakers are now crisp clear voices. I am exceptionally happy with the soundbar, especially since it only costs $99 dollars. My neighbor in the apartment next to me is also very pleased because I don't have to blast the volume to hear voices clearly. A note about the mess of wires hanging from my tv, the soundbar uses only one very thin wire.
