Overall: It's a great sounding surround sound system that has some limitations, but if you're just looking for a really good audio system for your TV, look no further.
Setup is easy enough, though it's mildly annoying you have to use the Vizio app and create an account. The app itself isn't even clear it's the remote app because they lump in a bunch of streaming content and ads. But once you get past that, the app does make adjusting the settings of the sound bar easy.
It uses bluetooth for audio streaming, and only has one HDMI eArc port but honestly that's all I needed for my setup.
The two satellite speakers have quite a responsive range. I'm sometimes surprised by just how clearly I can hear even the quietest of sounds in the shows I'm watching or games I'm playing to the point that I'm not sure if it's in the content, or if the sound is coming from inside my house.
Good value for the money in an attractive package. The materials feel premium, and while it's not the most expansive on connectivity, if you just want to hook it up to a TV, this is a great choice.

Easy Set-Up, Sounds Amazing!
I like the sleek design and the feel of the material on the speakers. I have an LG tv and there was no problem setting this Vizio surround sound system up to it. The main speaker hooks up to your TV and the satellite speakers plug into the subwoofer. What I really appreciate is that the satellite speakers come with long enough wiring so that you can really put them where you want without worrying about running out of length. My previous system only had 3ft wiring. This system the wiring is at least 10 ft. The bass from the subwoofer is outstanding (depending on the movie you’re watching of course) but I could feel the bass through my couch! Only negative I would say is that it does not come with a remote of any kind. You have to download the Vizio app and control the speakers from the app. However, the app does have some pretty cool features. You can change the color of the LED lights on the speaker, personalize your sound levels, and test each speaker individually if you think one isn’t working properly. I just think it should just come with a physical remote as an added option. Not everyone is tech savvy. With that said, I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable surround sound system. This system will give you rich sounds and level up your entertainment for sure!
