VIZIO 5.1.2 Elevate SE Soundbar, Wireless Subwoofer, Surround Sound w/Dolby Atmos & DTS:X, Bluetooth Speaker, QuickFit™ Compatible – SL512X-08 (New, 2024 Model)

This is a great budget system that makes some compromises, but not in the sound quality department. Full disclosure, this was purchased as a Prime Day deal so the pricing was VERY attractive. I would not have paid $499 for any surround system for my use case right now.I was skeptical that this system would work in the space I was intending and have the ability to fill the room with sound but it was both remarkable, and unbelievable at the same time. The subwoofer really kicks and and the sound bar and satellite speakers are really clear and can handle lots of volume. The soundbar projects clean audio really well.What you give up: Mostly connectivity. All you get here is one eArc HDMI port and one USB port. You get Bluetooth, but no wi-fi streaming. You do not get a remote. My old system had a remote I never used it so this is a personal preference. The Vizio App gives you lots of ways to customize the sound through both EQ settings and other advanced sound customizations. After a bit I had nailed down some sound profiles I was really pleased with for movies, TV, and music. The app is good and works fine as a remote but from time to time it will loose Bluetooth connectivity with the speaker or it can lag. Most of the time it will reconnect fairly quickly but you have been warned. You also loose the ability to see numeric volume numbers on your tv or speaker but it was not a deal breaker for me.In summary: This system is a keeper for me and I was actually shocked how full and immersive the sound is with this system. It was well worth what I paid for it and recommend it for the person who is either budget conscious or needs a secondary system for an extra tv in either a bedroom or spare room. It was also by far the easiest sound system I have ever setup, very intuitive and automatic.

Absolutely, love this soundbar, setup. Very easy to install with my vizo TV. Sounds excellent with easy voice detection and great bass. The rear surround sound speakers are small and easy to place and have great sound output as well. There were no installed directions, but you really don't need them as itself explanatory. The price was a little high but worth it in the long run. Shipping was incredibly fast and unpacking. The box was very simple. It does not come with a remote, but you do not need one as it integrates with your TVS, arc HDMI. Using this output, I can control the volume with my TV's remote and it's very easy to work with. The only thing I do not like is the gimmicky colored led bars on the end of the soundbar, you can turn them off though. I understand why they added them. So you can see when it's a dtx s send signal and it points the speakers upwards automatically, which is pretty cool. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend in getting this and don't buy the extended warranty as they are very robust and built very well.

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!

Wow! If you can get this setup for $299, it is a steal! These sound great, however, it does take some modifications via the Vizio app (very easy to use and no need for a remote). I have a big room (vaulted ceilings) and they rock the house. You can adjust anything you want :^) including setting you height speakers to always on (recommended). These work with my 5+ year old Hisense TV (as long as you enable CES and connect the HDMI to your ARC/eARC input). I recommend turning up the following: Clear Dialogue, Center Channel; and in the "Effect" section; Turn on the following: Virtual X and Tru Volume. They sound fantastic and can be tailored to your room! Highly recommended!
