Title: Feel the BASS!!
Review: I purchased the VIZIO 5.1 Soundbar SE to complament the VIZIO 75-inch Quantum Pro 4K QLED that I was getting. It was a why not purchase since I was getting the TV and the 2024 model TV and this soundbar had the easy fit attachment so sure add it own. I cant image not haveing this 5.1 Dolby Atmos system with this TV. They are a great match. The sound you get watching 4k contant with Atmos is fully impersisive. I watched Plant Earth on Netflix in 4k and yeah it looks awsome, but that sound was crazy good. You hear all the sound of the animals, the water, the trees like your dropped in the middle of the rain forest, or ocean. The subwoffer is small with big sound. I have it next to the couch and you feel the bass on your butt. The sound will more then fill a living room, it will trully turn your movie, TV experince into a home theater experiance. If your a gamer the bass on the guns from your favoriate FPS Halo, Call Of Duty, etc they just sound soooo good! Im sure there our better systems for more money, but if your getting a vizio TV, add this 5.1 system and enjoy. They are meant for each other. There is no standalone remote for it, it works with the TV remote, or you can use the app. I find that not to be a issue because i have the matching TV. Useing the app is easy too if your getting it for a none Vizio TV. The other reviews I read before purchse were right its all you need and will probally exceed expectations. Just buy it and enjoy.

Title: wow
Review: So, I was discouraged from purchasing a sound bar type surround sound system.So happy I purchased this system. The sound bar on its own is more than expected, and the surround sound, especially the subwoofer is amazing. I have to turn it down at times because it is so powerful. If I were in a house, I would let it get to maximum.SO WORTH THE PRICE!!

Title: Good value once it's tweaked. I would recommend this system to a friend.
Review: I bought this system for my 20' x 16' sunroom. It was a struggle to get set up initially. It didn't always sync. I reached out to Vizio customer support, they asked about the TV I was using, and they walked me and a tech-savvy friend through the process one step at a time. It still didn't always work. Vizio sent me another unit and it didn't work either. So, this seemed like a great time to get a new 65" TV. The Vizio sound system connected easily to the new tech (and yes, the old TV had up-to-date CEC software and the eArc HDMI connector) and now I'm pleased with the result. I do think the time-consuming hassle and early frustration could have been avoided if my 10-year-old Samsung TV had been flagged initially as the potential problem. It worked occasionally but ultimately was not truly compatible. Customer service at Vizio was very responsive, a replacement unit came quickly, and today I'm ready for movies and football season. It's my opinion that this surround sound system is at least 2.5x better than the single-source speakers on the new TV. It is not mind-blowing sound but for just $200 it's a good value and a welcomed addition to my sunroom. The app on my phone for controlling the whole system, especially the blue-tooth subwoofer that's hard-wired to the back speakers, takes a little effort to get tweaked. I do regularly change the settings to accommodate the program I'm watching, and my wife reluctantly appreciates the improved sound and immersive experience, especially when watching concerts and ballgames. It initially requires patience, but having 5.1 surround-sound speakers is a real joy.

Title: Outstanding sound after easy setup!
Review: I've owned a Vizio soundbar for our TV for years and have been very happy with the quality so I chose to stick with Vizio for a soundbar for my office TV/laptop. I'm so glad I did, and glad I spent a little bit more for the 5.1. The setup was fast and easy and it works great with the TV. But I was more interested in listening to music from my laptop, and the bluetooth connection works beautifully. It works great with my ipad and Galaxy phone as well. The only thing I'm not crazy about is that you can pair only one device at a time, but then changing out devices is pretty easy so I'm not dinging the soundbar a star for that. The app isn't great but it's perfectly usable and does what is needed (vs a remote which this soundbar does not have).

Title: VIZIO SSOUNDBAR INCOMPATIBLE WITH VIZIO TV
Review: After hours of: (1) setting up the Vizio Soundbar system, (2) trying to get it to work, and (3) "chatting" with Visio support, I was finally told that the new soundbar was incompatible with my Vizio TV because my TV HDMI connections were not HDMI ARC. The only audio connection to this Vizio Soundbar system is an ARC HDMI. This was not defined in the Amazon add for the Vizio Soundbar nor in the mini 2-page setup instructions. The first three people with whom I "chatted" (including an AI assisted chat) did not know this and kept trying to show me how to fix the problem by telling me to try ineffective procedures. When I was finally told that the Vizio TV and the Vizio Soundbar were incompatible, I asked if there was a "work around" to "inject" the audio signal into an HDMI cable. I was told there was not a "work-around". Then I was "disconnected" from the chat by the chatting agent. (The equivalent of ending a phone conversation by hanging up.) Looking at the internet, I found several inexpensive adapter/connectors that looked like this could be done, but frankly, I was so tired of working with Vizio support, that I've decided to return the soundbar, report these issues to the Better Business bureau, and never buy another piece of Vizio equipment.

Title: This works on any smart TV
Review: This is pretty good sounds great! It works with my LG tv! You do have to download the app if you want detailed sound adjustments but you can also just use the basic settings off the TV! Has hood bass not gonna knock your roof off but enough that I have to turn it down sometimes.

Title: No remote - app controlled
Review: I like that this soundbar has good functionality for the newer Vizio TVs but I feel like sound quality has gone downhill compared to the older soundbars. Audio is fairly crisp but something is missing. The older models have remotes but this one is purely controlled through the app and Bluetooth. I see the vision with what they want to offer through the price point but you would probably be better off getting the V51-j6 older generation for the same price or less.With that being said, unfortunately I’d have to return this.

Review: Me quedé imprecionado con la calidad de sonido y potencia que tiene para su tamaño el sonido Dolby Atmos impresionante .hasta ahorita no tengo quejas el único detalle tal vez no importante ,es que no grabaron el logo vizio en en ningún lado, hasta parece un clon chino .no dice Dolby Atmos ni dts en el frente ,como en otras barras de la misma marca, creo eso algo que les faltó, poner su sello de la marca.eso es algo que si no me gustó .es la primer electrónico vizio que compro y no trae el logo .pero como dije es algo sin importancia hasta hora exelente calidad y potencia de audio .para su tamaño . Muy recomendable pero por favor pongan el logo de marca vizio en todas sus partes y no solo una etiqueta tipo roku, eso le quita imagen y prestigio .así se ve corriente y chafa .

Review: Me desepcionó mucho, a comparacion de la V-Series esta barra no suena igual, el subwoofer es más chico y por lo tanto no suena igual, no trae contro remoto, no tiene mas conexiones sólo HDMI eARC, No tiene modos de sonido, la App no funciona en México por lo tanto no le puedes configurar nada, la barra no trae las luces que te indican el nivel de volumen, ni de configuración de sonido, la barra ni las bocinas trae el logo de Vizio ni de Dolby atmos por lo tanto se ve corriente, lo queria regresar pero por error tiré la caja, en fin mala compra.
