VIZIO V-Series 5.1 Home Theater Sound Bar with Dolby Audio, Bluetooth, Wireless Subwoofer, Voice Assistant Compatible, Includes Remote Control - V51x-J6

**BACKGROUND**: After Years of waiting ( mostly to see when micro-LED Technology would be firmly established and the price not too insane ), we got ourselves a 75QNED90 LG Living Room TV. Awesome TV, but just so-so sound. Dialog wasn't sharp enough ( for my old ears ) and often buried by background noise/music. Anything with any significant Bass sounded "rubbery". I thought we could go all discreet components ( AV Receiver and at least three somewhat decent speakers, no sub ), but my lady didn't want to see all that, so no joy there. I had Never heard a Soundbar that I thought sounded decent before, but it seemed to be the only way to solve our sound problems. **SHOPPING**: Started reading and reading and stumbled on VIZIO's V51x-J6, after reading dozens of on-line articles, blogs and Amazon Reviews. I had started looking for a 3.0 or 3.1 soundbar, but kept coming back to the VIZIO V51x-J6. The reviews ALL seemed to REALLY LIKE THE CLEAR DIALOG CENTER CHANNEL, which has it's own level adjustments !!! That and the Really Great PRICE had me "looking at it hard". I kept trying to find anything better for under $300 and I could not, so I bought one. **SETUP**: Set it up last night. Easy Setup. TV feeding the VIZIO via ARC, the VIZIO pretty much did everything, all by itself. I had to press the two power buttons, to sync the wireless sub with the sound bar, but that was about it !!! Our ROKU Ultra Remote ( which had been controlling everything in the room ) still did !!!! *****RESULTS*****: It started out-of-the-box Way Better than the TV Sound. A little fiddling using the VIZIO Remote ( IT is Excellent, with LOTS of adjustments ) and we soon had a Brilliant Soundscape !!!! We spent several hours listening to all sort of music, tv, movies and YouTube videos, adjusting a bit here and there. AWESOME SOUND !!!!! ...especially for the Price - Sound Way Better Than I could have Hoped For, at a Price that made us both Very Happy !!!! The only ( tiny ) flaw is the sub, which is a bit "thumpy" on certain rock music tunes, and altogether Too Present above the rest of the mix. We turned it down to the lowest setting, and it's fine... Pretty good actually. Listening to stand up bass on Bluegrass, then electric bass on some Albert King+SRV tunes, you could actually Clearly Hear every bass note being played ( versus the usual clumps of mushy, muddy, pounding bass that come out of most Subs ). SWEET SOUND, GREAT PRICE. Should have done this a long time ago !!! Will post again if anything new happens, but on day-two, WE ARE REALLY, REALLY HAPPY !!!!!! - Don&Deb -

I picked up the VIZIO V-Series 2.0 Compact Sound Bar to use with my gaming desktop and side monitor/TV, and it’s been a solid upgrade all around.For such a compact soundbar, the audio is surprisingly full and clear. Dialogue comes through crisp while gaming, and the bass has just enough punch to make explosions feel impactful without shaking the desk. It's not a subwoofer-level thump, but it’s perfect for a desktop or small room setup.Setup was super easy—just plug it in, connect via HDMI ARC or optical, and you’re up and running in minutes. I mostly use it via Bluetooth and HDMI depending on what I’m doing, and it switches inputs pretty seamlessly.It also looks great—clean, minimal design that tucks nicely under my second monitor/TV without crowding the desk. I’ve used it for everything from Call of Duty and Spotify to catching YouTube clips and streaming shows, and it’s held up across the board.✅ Clear, rich audio for a compact size✅ Easy to set up and use✅ Looks sleek on a desk or under a monitor✅ Great value for the price❌ Bass is decent, but don’t expect sub-level lows❌ Remote is basic—don’t lose itFinal verdict: If you want a clean audio upgrade for a desktop or monitor setup without going overboard, this soundbar punches above its size and price. Highly recommended for gamers, casual streamers, or anyone tired of tinny monitor speakers.

Excellent quality. A million times nicer than the no-name brand I bought before this. I returned that one and even tho this was twice the price, it was worth every penny. Powerful bass thanks to the built in sub, and crystal clear highs and mids. Stupidly easy set-up, pretty much just plug and play. Remote required no programming, just put the batteries in and it worked. Has bluetooth, aux, hdmi ARC, and usb connectivity. Highly recommend.
