Overview
A living room or bedroom TV setup where a low bar fits under the screen suits this VIZIO soundbar, which clips to select VIZIO TV stands or mounts on the wall. HDMI eARC passes Dolby Vision video through and lets the TV remote control volume.
Atmos and DTS:X processing plus a separate subwoofer give fuller sound than TV speakers in a slim package. Surround and height are simulated through processing, not separate speakers.
Who it's for
Households upgrading from TV speakers get clearer dialogue and deeper bass with simple HDMI setup. Movie fans after true surround need a system with rear and up-firing speakers.
Pros and cons
- Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support
- Separate subwoofer for bass
- HDMI eARC with Dolby Vision pass-through
- Controlled by TV remote
- Height effects are virtual
- Subwoofer connection listed two ways
- Small subwoofer driver
- No rear speakers
Performance notes
Surround and height impressions come from DTS Virtual:X processing rather than dedicated speakers. Bass is handled by the separate subwoofer, which takes load off the slim bar's drivers.
