VIZIO 5.1 Soundbar SE, Wireless Subwoofer, Surround Sound w/Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Bluetooth Speaker – SV510X-0806 (New, 2024 Model)

Incredible sound and seamless sync with Vizio TV
I bought this for my girlfriend for Christmas. She has a Vizio smart tv and had tried getting a different sound bar. It wouldn’t sync with Bluetooth kept turning off when she shut the TV off and she ultimately returned it. This was exactly what she needed. It was simple and straightforward just one plug into TV, one into the wall and boom off and running. The subwoofer connects wirelessly allowing it to be placed by her bed with the surround speakers wired in and connected to either end table. The sound quality is phenomenal, the subwoofer absolutely thumps, and it’s all controlled instantly by the Vizio remote. Took some adjusting to the audio output settings to get the surround speakers going but a little patience and it was booming in less than 30 mins of setup. For the cost, the sound is outstanding. Incredible value.

Very disappointing
I’m rewriting my review… I think I was in too much of a hurry the first time and was overly generous.I appreciate good audio. Never in my life have I watched a movie or listened to music using phone speakers. But I’m not audiophile-fussy… it just has to be good. (Ya know, old schooler here who built up many component systems over my lifetime.)It took me a while to conclude that a lot of soundbars were “good enough” for me… some provide an excellent way to get quality audio for a couple-hundred bucks. I had a 2.1 LG that was under 200 that I was very pleased with for example.This one doesn’t cut it, though. Lots of high-end features (ATMOS) at a very reasonable price, but very “thin”, low-drynamic-range sound with very little bass. If I hadn’t waited 4 months to use it I’d be returning it. (I used it once, wrote the initial review, and then stumbled on a used Bose system so this went back in the box until I decided to set-up an outdoor movie projection set-up.)I don’t want to bash Vizio – they make some great quality stuff. I know I’ve heard Vizio soundbars that impressed me, but I happen to have two Video soundbars in my office right now… this one, which is too “thin” and tinny and one of Vizio’s original soundbars (the first one I ever bought) and it’s the opposite – way too base-y (but not in a good way) and muddy. Both of them are, frankly, terrible. I would consider Vizio again, but definitely not one of the budget ones if I couldn’t hear it first.COMPATIBILITY:A couple of reviewers gave bad reviews and complained that this only works on VIZIO TVs. ***THEY ARE WRONG*** They either had TVs that were too old to have an ARC (Audio Return Channel) HDMI port, or they just didn’t know what they were doing. If your TV has an ARC or eARC HDMI port, use it for this. It will work… just think of it as an audio-out cable… you can still watch incoming video on the other HDMI ports, but the audio will be routed out the ARC port to the soundbar. This soundbar does not come with a remote, but that’s okay. Changing the volume on your TV remote will change the volume on the soundbar. If you connect via bluetooth (like from your phone) the volume control on your phone will control the speaker (and there’s always physical Vol +/- buttons as well.)I’m impressed that this one support Dolby Atmos, but honestly, I don’t see how a 2-channel speaker can possible do that level of audio simulation… if you really care about the benefits of Atmos, you’re probably going to buy a full-fledged home theater set-up.I’ve also had an LG soundbar that I liked better, but it was double the price and had an external sub-woofer (it also stopped working on our cross-country move, so there’s that.)It all comes down to what you want and how fussy you are. If cost is your deciding factor and you want to keep it under a hundred dollars, I think you’ll be impressed with this one.

Lo bueno Me quedé imprecionado con la calidad de sonido y potencia que tiene para su tamaño el sonido Dolby Atmos impresionante, la app no funciona a la primera . Hay que ingresar tres veces en la app y entra bien y así configuras bien y puedes cambiar los niveles, lo malo . No dice vizio en la bocinas parecen chinas eso si es bajar la calidad ,por qué en otras series como la M si viene bien identificada con la marca vizio . Pero quitando ese detalle es buena barra excelente sonido, redescubrí mis seríes .y películas con esta barra .con mi receiver pioneer que tenía anteriormente y que era solo dolby digital y dts primeras versiones, no se escuchaba el detalle del audio como está barra . Como lo dije antes ese dolby atmos es genial y la música apesar de que no trae Twitters se escucha super bien , valen los 5000 que pague por ella .

Excelente servicio, llego antes de lo esperado y todo funcionando bien
