Build Quality / Design: 4.5
This sound bar feels very high quality. Everything has a nice heft to it. I not a fan of the way you have to plug the inputs in though. The connectors face inwards rather than out the back. It feel a bit strange to me.
Audio: 4.5
The most important part of any audio system is how it sound and Vizio got it right here. This system sound great in most normal sized rooms. In my honest opinion it is a bit mid heavy but that can be adjusted by raising the treble. Given the size of the sub-woofer you wouldn’t expect it to thump but you would be in for a surprise. A well placed sub will add depth to whatever you are currently watching or listening to. Overall this is a great audio package for the price.
Features: 5
This is a fully loaded sound bar that features a multitude connectivity options, so you can amplify whatever audio you want. It also comes packed with all the cables you will need to get started. It has a True Volume feature that basically normalizes audio so you don’t have to worry about the extra loud commercials that will surely haunt you while you are watching TV.

Thoughts
I just purchased a new Sony LED TV, and everything is great but the built-in speakers are notoriously terrible on all flat screen TV I have used so, an external sound source was a must. I been hearing good things about Vizio sound bars and other home media products for a while now and thought this would be a good chance to test one out. I can easily say it was a great thing I did give it a try. For what you get in this package you would easily spend more than $200 on competitors products. I highly recommend this.
