★★★★☆
Great, with some livable quirks.
I got this directly through the Vizio website when it finally came out and have very much enjoyed it. Pros: - Looks great, feels substantial. - Great remote. You can see what you are doing in your hand, instead of squinting over to the unit. Why don't all companies do this? - Sounds very good for a soundbar (better than my previous Samsung) - Rear Speakers, yay! They make a big difference for movies. In music they quietly play along in stereo, which is nice. - Easy to use! I can't stand complicated controls, these are simple. - Bluetooth works great. I use my iPhone, and whenever I turn on the soundbar it automatically takes over the music playing on my phone, like my car does. Cons: - Subwoofer level is hard to tweak. If it is set good for movies, it's too loud for music, and if it's set good for music, it's too low for movies. - Subwoofer has to be in the back, with the rear speakers. I think it would sound better if it could come from the front. - It's hard to tell if the unit is turned on. The tiny LED just shines a bit brighter. I think this is about as good value for money as you can get right now in soundbar world. Any serious upgrade in sound quality would require a lot more money.
