VIZIO 2.0 Home Theater Sound Bar with DTS Virtual:X, Bluetooth, Includes Remote Control - SB3620n-H6

During a recent desk rebuild I was in need of new speakers. I was replacing an older pair of Logitech speakers that took up too much real estate on my desk so a sound bar was more of what I was looking for. I tried multiple variations from different brands, all sounding too flat/ muddy or too tinny with no mid range or lows.Finally, I received this one from Vizio and did a side-by-side comparison with some of the other top contenders I was considering. I listened to audio books for dialogue (since I’ll be using it for Zoom calls), I listened to various genres of music and I watched a few movie trailers as tests for each speaker. In the end, it was hands down the Vizio. Not only does the size and look fit perfectly on my desk between my laptop and my 24 inch monitor but the speaker had the best treble, mid range and lows out of the six different speakers I compared. This thing won’t blow you away with bass, but it’s enough that you can hear the lower frequencies in the music, unlike many of the others I listened to. It has a subwoofer output for a powered sub, if more bass is what you’re looking for. None of the other speakers I looked even had that option.This thing will primarily be used for conference calls with occasional music while I’m working, but it fits my needs and what I’m looking for. It has that sweet spot. Like I said, I compared it to several other brands and this was my pick. There’s plenty of YouTube videos on it as well. Granted you can’t hear the audio as well through your phone or tablet speakers, but you’ll have to take my word for it…it’s great!

I bought this soundbar to replace a dying Roku soundbar in the master bedroom. Since that TV isn't our main television, I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a soundbar for the TV that only is used a couple of hours a week.I bought a Vizio TV for that bedroom to replace an old Sony and was very impressed with the quality of the TV as well as a WELL thought-out design in the software, so I decided to give the same brand a chance with the soundbar.I wasn't disappointed! Setup took less than 10 minutes and it was up and running. After adjusting the bass and treble, I found the sound to be quite good from such a small soundbar without a subwoofer. I connected it to the television using a digital/optical cable which, IMHO, is always preferable to an analog audio cable.This little soundbar is packed with options and tweaks. I AM an audiophile and very demanding for my audio equipment. However, I think that this soundbar is perfect for a guest bedroom OR for anyone on a budget. The sound quality is great. You can also connect auxiliary devices to it (i.e., game console, CD player, etc) AND it will connect to Bluetooth devices as well.If I had to criticize anything, I think that they could have done better with the "quick setup" guide instructions. When I first powered up, the soundbar stated that it was searching for an input device and to turn on my TV. It wasn't until I used the included remote to switch inputs to "Digital/Optical" that I was able to connect to the TV. This is a very MINOR complaint. Otherwise, I'm totally satisfied. A++++

Sound quality is good and far exceed my TV's natural audio output. It's very clear and I rarely have it on max volume. Took a few minutes to set-up but overall it offers a sleeker look to my TV set-up.

This works excellent!

Firstly, this soundbar has amazing sound. I was listening to music via Bluetooth, and heard a song from like 1998 that I've listened to dozens of times and I heard things I had never noticed before.I had a hard time setting this up and I'm pretty tech savvy. I'll include some tips that helped me. I have a Hisense Google TV and wanted to use the RCA connection (the soundbar includes an audio cable with RCA on one end and 3.5mm on the other). The TV has one set of RCA jacks but I did not know until today that they are A/V IN jacks (not out). I think that's dumb but I can't change it. Luckily, the soundbar also included an adapter just for this scenario. It turns RCA into 3.5mm, and the TV has a 3.5mm out jack. One other alternative would be to have just a 3.5mm cord. I'm editing this review to add that the 3.5mm cord plus adapter was causing the audio to drop. I decided to switch to optical and haven't had any problems with that.After that, it still wasn't working. I thought of trying to turn up the volume and that did it. I had to fiddle with the TV and soundbar volumes until they were both kind of in the middle because at first one of them was up all the way and giving me a warning about loud volume.Just a note about Bluetooth: the soundbar connected fine via Bluetooth, but there was an audio delay when I used Chromecast to play video on the TV. I cast video from my phone almost all the time because for me it's easier to control. The cast video doesn't have an audio delay when it's connected via a cable. I actually tried a different soundbar a couple weeks ago with Bluetooth and it did the same thing. So I think that's something that needs to be fixed across the board.The soundbar is substantial and fairly heavy. I'm happy with it now that I was able to connect it. I also like that I can disable the auto-shut off.
