There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Set up is a little tasking, and making sure everything is connected/synced is also tasking.
The reward though is well worth it. Sounds amazing and easy to control. Haven't had disconnect issues, audio lag, or even popping.
Now I'll be blunt, the small speakers DO project sound. But not much which was a bit disappointing. I also thought the subwoofer wasn't working though it was all connected. But you just mess with the setting a little bit, and you WILL FEEL the subwoofers power.
Minus the speakers it's definitely a quality sound system.
I use mine for gaming, so you can imagine it gets load with explosions, gun blasts, sword clashing, etc. Voices are clear during cut scenes. The vehicles roar loudly and beautifully.
I listen to metal music so you can feel the double bass from the drums, guitars are clear, everything sounds good.
I say it's worth every penny. Great job Vizio.
I came to the realization that the unit was defective. Kind of disappointing. I went on the VISIO support site and surfed around trying to find canned solutions to no avail. I then called the support number. The person who answered asked a few valid questions about the symptoms and setup and then immediately said they would send me a new unit. Kind of floored me to be honest. I expected a run around. The new unit arrived in 3 business days and I swapped the sound bar and sub-woofer. Everything is now working very well and i am pleased with the 2nd unit. Sound is great. The return label was in the packing slip. Return shipping is free. all i had to do was repack (fairly easy) and get it to UPS.
Vizio customer service gets my thumbs up!! Even though i had to return the unit i still give it 5 stars for sound and value.
UPDATE: After a couple of months of use I can say that I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase. Sound is decent for the tv. But what I really like is the Bluetooth along with my music. Great sound for the price.
I tried diversifying my soundbar collection a bit (in the price range class), but I keep on going back to these. For example the current JBL soundbars, they have really good subwoofer (a bit overpowering) but the bar itself sounds muddy and hollow. So do the ones from Samsung and LG. Mostly they sound hollow with little definition in the highs and almost absent mids.
The other Vizio in the price range sounds pretty good, but in my opinion the sock / fabric look is terrible and they look dirty very quickly, absorbing gunk and muck, as well as the pets ripping the fabric out or whatnot.
This D5 soundbar from Vizio hits quite a few good points:
1. For the price it sounds really good. Crisp defined highs (a rarity in its class), good (enough) mids, and good (enough) subwoofer. They are not the best frequency range in the world, but very well balanced. Most soundbars have terrible mids because of their driver sizes (either too small on the soundbar, or too big on the subwoofer), but the Vizio has pretty good mids. The subwoofer does not thump very low, but good enough for general use. It is quite impressive especially if you consider the size of the subwoofer.
2. Great build quality, the bar's mesh made of metal, slim, streamlined design: this is important for the more professional look, withstand abuse better, and easier to clean.
3. The thin profile of the subwoofer fits under sofas or within nooks and crannies, this is important if you don't like seeing big subwoofer laying around.
Cons:
1. Old technology. By now the D5 generation is considered older technology. It does not have 4K passthru, Dolby Atmos, or any other fancy things. Vizio does make a newer metal mesh soundbar with Dolby Atmos (SB46514-F6), but currently they cost $1000 ($700 on discount).
2. Buggy sometimes. When I switch around the soundbar for different TVs, sometimes they won't connect / needs to be power cycled or reconnected to the Smartcast app. If I don't touch it after reinstalling everything usually it works just fine.
My priorities for soundbar is relative sound quality to price, and build quality. I do not have complicated needs for these soundbars, just connection via HDMI ARC to the TV. For that purpose, this soundbar is (still) the best in its class. I think you should get it while Vizio still make them and the price is low (originally in the $400s if I'm not mistaken).
We used to have a full surround sound system with the tall speaker towers and I absolutely hated having cables on the floor across our living room. It looked so cluttered and messy and it drove me nuts, but I couldn't get my husband to give up having surround sound.
After reading a ton of reviews I went with this system. We aren't audiophiles, and my husbands main requirement was, as he explained it to me, that when he sees an explosion in the movie he wants to hear the "boom" from everywhere.This fit the bill. I'm sure people who really are picky about their sound might care, but we just wanted surround sound and I wanted cables out of my sight.
I got the certified refurbished for $249, and had no trouble getting it set up. What's more, it hooks up to our phones and our Amazon Echo so we can play music through it. We haven't experienced any unpairing issues some reviewers have stated. The subwoofer didn't fit under our couch (we have a low one as its a sofa bed) but it fit right beside it, and on the side where my husband sits. I'm not kidding - the couch vibrated when we watched Star Wars (the first thing he wanted to watch to test this baby out). The rear speakers are perfectly small but still deliver sound so you get a real surround sound experience. I have no complaints with this, it's perfect for our condo.

They give you all of the wires for it.
You can control it via mobile app as well.
The finish looks professional. Really good quality.
The sound bar has central-left-right speaker built-in. Sub-woofer and rear speakers are separate. In order it to work you pair your sound bar and sub-woofer and the via wires you hookup your rear speakers (so satellite speakers are kinda "semi" wireless).
The Idea of putting your sub-woofer by your coach (or underneath) is basically brilliant. You will definitely experience your video games and movies more immerse.
The only thing is about chromecast. It says that it has "built-in chromecast" but it is not exactly true. It behaves somewhat as chromecast but it is not one. You can only send music to the system. You can not transmit videos/photos/chrome tabs as if you would use the chrome cast. For me it is not a problem because any new smart tv has this feature built in so you can add wireless display and have your computer preview available.
Bought it couple days ago, as of right now haven't had any problems, if it is gonna work like that for me for next 2 years I will be super happy!
Using the phone app allows one to use the equalizer & I have seen other reviews whining about the bass, men! This thing bangs if you change the factory equalizer settings to your preferences, raging from 1-12.
I only give it a 4 out 5 because there are somethings they can improve like not have to attempt a Bluetooth reconnection everytime I wanna play music from my phone, otherwise, you won’t regret it!
