VIZIO 2.0 Soundbar with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Bluetooth - SV200M-0808 (New, 2024 Model)

BUYER BEWARE! While the item itself is working fine and looks good, it doesn’t come with a remote; volume up and down worked with the tv remote but that’s it; if you need to access any other functions, you must use an app called Vizio Mobile however said app DOES NOT work in Canada. I thought of giving my review one star, but I’m sure the soundbar could have been a great addition to our tv viewing experience. IMO, Amazon.ca should remove it from the site, or at least inform Canadian buyers of this issue.

My home theater uses a now $600 soundbar with separate powered subwoofer from JBL, and this Vizio performs with higher quality in some aspects and simply expectedly less powerful in others. It is definitely AMAZING using it in my guest room and renders a similarly cinematic theater experience beyond expectations. While the onbard TV speakers are adequate, the tweeter and subwoofer punch from this unit are truly incredible and seem like magic to someone like me born four decades ago. Music is lively with instruments and voices clearly distinct, movies boom with bass swells from orchestra strikes or explosive action, and video games are quite engaging. The app is a little bit of a pain to setup, but once is enough and then easy to access; the numerous settings available are quite appreciated and make perfecting the installation easy. I especially like the height adjustment and the “clear dialog” mid-range adjustability, and that separate inputs remember separate settings. The review bot for my review wants me to talk about cord length for some reason, but that’s not really germane and kind of asinine.

Es buenísima por el precio que pague. calidad -precio justo

A couple of misses for me... the quick fit mount does not exist on my TV, bummer and the soundbar does not have fiber input. The ARC HDMI does work just a bit bulkier and harder to hide. Having said that, the sound is awesome compared to the Samsung previously used. These are not concert speakers so don't expect wall shaking bass but midrange are more than adequate. Definitely a big jump from standard TV speakers. Get it, get it now!

I have a Vizio Smart TV that is about 5 years old, using a FireTV stick with it. The speaker died on the tv and I decided to add a sound bar. I thought it would be easier to get a sound bar working if it was the same brand as the TV. I plugged the cable into the appropriate port on the tv (eARC or something I think) and followed the included instructions. It did “work” but sounded terrible. It lagged horribly, eventually not synching with the video. The volume control lagged, and had to be played at about 75% full volume. It sounded TERRIBLE. There was no where to adjust the settings on the sound bar. The VIZIO app did not connect to the sound bar. I spent hours trying to get this thing working. Followed instructions, and still it would not connect via Bluetooth. But I was getting sound so that was an improvement. It finally kept disconnecting from the tv and I gave up and started the return process. After a couple of days, before disconnecting and packaging the sound bar up for return, I decided to try the app one more time. Again following the instructions to the letter, and for some reason this time, the sound bar and app paired/connected. I was finally able to use an “equalizer” to adjust the sound bar. It sounds clear, adjusting the volume only lags for about a second, and I no longer have to adjust the volume past 50% to hear it clearly. The clarity is decent and music sounds good as well. The app is a must have to make this sound bar work properly and sound good. If you cannot get the app to work, this is a no go. It should connect via Bluetooth easier than it did. But if you can get it connected, it’s great. There isn’t much to really do with the app after you set it up, but you can adjust volume and equalizer settings from it if you choose. This would be a 5 star item if it worked with the app properly for me. Since I had such difficulty with the pairing of the app with the speaker, I docked a star. I have also cancelled my return for this item and will keep it.
