Customers like the sound quality of the speakers. They mention that the sound was quite good, the volume on these can be extreme, and the setup sounds wonderful.

Customers are mixed about the value of the speakers. Some mention that it's the best value for your money out there, while others say that the speakers are just okay and pretty much useless.

Customers are mixed about the ease of installation. Some mention that the system is easy to setup and use, with clear directions. They say the volume and mute controls require no fiddling. However, others say that it's frustrating, tedious, and not as friendly as it could be.

Customers are mixed about the connectivity of the speakers. Some mention that they love the ability to connect their cell phone via bluetooth to just play their favorite music, and the wireless subwoofer and remotes connected effortlessly.

"...I also had to hard power the unit twice as the subwoofer became out of sync randomly..,-..." Read more
Customers are mixed about the quality of the speakers. Some mention that it does what it is supposed to, and does so in great quality.

Some customers also report that the sound gets out of sync with the picture and that they are unable to adjust the delay out using the remote control.
"...It's frankly very inconsistent and slow and will regularly require restarting just to connect since it loses connection at random...." Read more
"...Control App:It is horrible. Super slow to respond to any setting changes, doesn't work half the time.Remote Control:..." Read more
"...The sound quality is still good, but there is an irremediable 3-second delay that the remote's delay setting can't do anything about...." Read more
"The delivery was really quick, with at least two or three days before scheduled delivery time. The setup was easy. The sound of this system is great...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the remote of the speakers. They mention that it's terrible, flimsy, and needs help. Some say that the remote is basic but functional.
"...The thing feels very flimsy. I had to add tape to the back cover, because it comes undone very easily...." Read more
"...Seems to indicate there's a problem with the build quality or parts...." Read more
"...The remote has much to be desired and the changes to sound do no display on the TV...." Read more
"...Now that being said the down fall of this system is the remote and the cast app...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My settings go between music and movie EQ mode, where I like as follows:
Bass 4.
Treble 2.
Center 8.
Surround volume 12 (this really makes your rear speakers kick in for basically every type of content).
Surround balance 2 (slightly boost the right speaker due to seating arrangement, but leave at 0 for centered seating, -1 and onward is for the left rear speaker).
Subwoofer 3-5.
Truvolume set to on (just normalizes audio volumes across all content I believe, so like a commercial won't be louder than a program you're watching.)
As for a stand, I think the Atlantic PN77305018 is the best you can get for Vizio speakers. Someone had mentioned them here, and they're great. They are large enough to easily fit the rear speaker cables so they don't have to be wrapped around or left hanging.
I have the subwoofer tucked behind me fairly well hidden but definitely heard where the very long cables to the rear speakers are hidden as well where excess cable is tied with the included cable ties. It's a pretty clean setup with very little wiring visible, and it didn't take much time to do so.
I am yet to try out actual 5.1 surround sound content yet, as I have an old tv, but I have a new 4k tv on its way, so I'll be sure to do that, however it's making what I think is stereo audio sound incredibly immersive and very much surround sound in its own right.
All in all, these are a massive improvement over any tv speakers.
EDIT: A few days later, still works great. I also found out how to make my Direct TV remote control (RC66X model) pair with the soundbar, so I can at least do the basic controls of volume up/volume down and mute. You put the Direct TV remote into TV mode using the top slider, then hold select and mute at the same time, enter in 11758, then while that's going on, using the Vizio remote or app, press the learn volume+/volume-/mute buttons, so the soundbar is looking for another remote, and map it with your Direct TV remote using the correct corresponding buttons. I also reset my Direct TV remote first so I don't change the volume of the tv and Vizio soundbar at the same time, instead only controlling the receiver and Vizio soundbar.
UPDATE 1/22/19: Still working great, however any and all issues I'm having are related to the app. It's frankly very inconsistent and slow and will regularly require restarting just to connect since it loses connection at random. Setup sometimes (I've re-setup the soundbar many times to fix issues) can be done super easily while other times it takes 2-3 attempts, and the aforementioned issues all relate to using the app to control the SB, which can throw it out of mix, since I do go between using remotes and the app to adjust the soundbar.
I don't think it's worth while to deduct stars from, since I bought the soundbar, not the app, and the soundbar is still great.
I love coming home from work after a long slow day and just getting in the bed, turn on the blue tooth, and jam out. These have amazing quality sounds for this price, I can control the speaker settings through the remote or my iPhone which I didn’t know before buying, the volume on these can be extreme or if you prefer small volume these will do that just fine while providing the best quality sounds, the only problem I’ve encountered with these are the satellite speakers, I never had satellite speakers before but the ones on these constantly make a static noise, not loud enough for you to hear though, you have to put it straight to your ear to hear it, the satellite speakers don’t really sync with the music or movie you’re watching/listening to. That’s the only thing I don’t like about these, the satellite speakers really just makes whatever noises it wants. Other than that , if you’re looking to not spend a lot for a surround system , in any home these will be more than what you expected !
My main entertainment center includes a Denon 5.1 receiver with Bose front speakers, Sony mid & rears, and a Yamaha powered subwoofer. I wanted my other TV to have better sound than the cheesy built-in speakers, but in a simpler and cheaper sound package. After much research, I decided to bet on the Vizio 3651.
What's in the box? There's a 36" long soundbar that connects to your TV either via HDMI or an optical cable. There's a wireless powered subwoofer with a 4" speaker. And there are two small surround speakers that connect to the subwoofer via RCA cables. There's a remote to control the system. And there are all kinds of wires for connecting everything to everything else - everything you need for any imaginable connectivity is included.
How is setup? Pretty easy, actually. Plug in the soundbar & connect it to your TV and you're on your way. Plug in your subwoofer, connect the surround speakers, and turn on the TV. You're pretty much there. The rest is a matter of using the remote to get the sound balance dialed in to your taste. It took me about 15-20 minutes. In my case, I used the optical connection for simplicity. More on that later.
How is the sound? Pretty good. WAY better than the native TV speakers. And it is true 5.1 surround sound. Here are some specifics.
- The soundbar has plenty of volume and reasonably good tone. Like most soundbars, it doesn't really give you very good stereo separation unless you're sitting really close. Simply a factor of the L-R front speakers only being 36" apart.
- The subwoofer delivers a lot of punch. It's a bit "peaky", meaning the bass tends to swing from thunder to nothing & back to thunder, instead of delivering a nice linear bass like my big Yamaha sub. But it definitely gives enough bottom end for you to enjoy an action flick.
- The surround speakers work just fine, and have enough volume for you to enjoy the surround effect, as long as you have your front-rear balance set properly.
- Overall, you can get a nice, balanced, full sound that will allow you to enjoy a movie or a football game. Does it sound as good as my Denon receive with Bose & Sony speakers? Are you kidding??? But it's a nice upgrade to the TV's sound for about 1/3 the total price, so it's a good value.
Here are some features of the system, all of which are controlled by the remote:
- Basic bass/treble control.
- Balance control for the center channel vs the front speakers.
- Front/rear volume bias, to get your rear speakers set at an appropriate level.
- A "virtual" setting to emulate surround sound on older movies or TV shows.
- Preset EQ settings for movie, music, or talk.
- "True volume," which is basically a compressor/limiter to keep the volume level.
-"AV Delay" allows you to adjust the timing of the sound to the picture.
- A speaker test, which simply sends a test sound to each speaker individually.
PROS:
- Full 5.1 sound for the same price that most major brand soundbars are offering 2.1 sound.
- Easy and quick to set up.
- Everything you need is included in the box.
- The wireless sub and rear speakers worked perfectly right out of the box. If you've ever had the joy of running speaker cable through your attic and then punching cable through your walls, you know how important the wireless feature is.
CONS:
- The subwoofer is a little peaky. I'd prefer a smoother, more linear bass.
- The front L/R speakers don't deliver good stereo separation.
- The instructions for the advanced features are a bit sketchy.
- The display on the remote control is hard to read. It looks like the display on a cheap gas station calculator from the 80s.
- I never could get the Visio and my 2 y/o LG TV to link up via HDMI. That's why I went optical.
Overall, I'm calling this a pretty good value for the price. It's not a Bose system, but it ain't bad. This is a great way to get good quality surround sound, and without the hassle of running speaker wire for the rears.

Si quieres saltarte el texto ve a los pros y contras.
Me encanta ver películas con un sonido y video decente, tengo o he tenido equipos de diferentes modelos de klipsh, bose, samsung, Logitech.
Antes de decidirme por este home theater probé equipos de bose, samsung, lg en el mismo rango de precio y no se acercan a las prestaciones que vizio logra.
El sonido es de calidad muy decente, tiene muy buena definición en los rangos medios y altos, con una buena colocación el subwoofer hace bien su trabajo sin llegar a hacer retumbar los vidrios. Para escuchar música es un sonido cálido y sin distorsión si no se exagera el volumen. En películas el sonido es claro y obedece bien a los efectos en cuanto se requiere. Llena muy bien una sala de ~5x5.
El punto que mas me agrado es la conectividad. Gracias al HDMI-ARC con un solo cable al home theater puedes escuchar todo lo que veas en la tele (cable, blu ray, aplicaciones smart, etc.). Pero si lo requieres cuenta con entrada HDMI, Optica y de Coaxial Digital. Además te incluye 1 cable de cada uno. (La Tv debe contar con HDMI-Arc también)
Viene con un control remoto sencillo pero fácil de utilizar, también cuenta con botones físicos, puedes también bajar la aplicación y controlar todas las funciones de conectividad, audio y ecualización en una interfaz mas agradable.
La conectividad bluetooth es rápido y fácil de conectar.
Te permite programar el control de la TV para subir/bajar el volumen y función de Mute. En mi caso funcionó automáticamente con un control Samsung. Rara vez he utilizado el control de Vizio, el equipo se apaga en automático después de un tiempo sin usar.
Por medio del HDMI-ARC la tv manda audio Dolby Digital+ en 5.1 canales cuando veo blurays o en Netflix. Pero si cambio a entrada Optica o Coaxial Digital recibe DTS desde el blu ray, esto lo confirmas con un led o desde la aplicación que te informa que formato esta reproduciendo. Por lo que las películas se disfrutan con los efectos que deben de ser.
Es importante leer la función del Surround para saber cuando reproduce 2.1, 3.1 o 5.1. En mi caso siempre tengo surround On y el EQ en Película por lo siempre el audio siempre lo convierte a 5.1.
La marca Vizio no es tan conocida en México ya que ni he visto que se venda de manera oficial. Pero es una marca con base en California EE.UU. (creo que también fabricación) y sus productos son de excelente calidad buscando siempre un precio competitivo.
Pros:
- HDMI-Arc escucha todo con un solo cable
- Aparte cuenta con entrada Hdmi, optica y coaxial digital
- Calidad de materiales excelente
- Se puede manejar con el control de la TV
- Configuración desde el control Vizio o la Aplicación de Android o iOS
- Calidad de sonido excelente para su precio
- Decodifica Dolby y Dts, convierte musica a 5.1
- Subwoofer inalámbrico por lo que lo puedes colocar en el mejor lugar posible
Contras:
Para el precio y lo que ofrece es difícil. Al menos en mi caso cumple y supera las expectativas. No es un equipo Hi.Fi. marcas como Bose en este precio solo ofrecen la barra, Klipsh solo 2.1. Marcas como Samsung, LG no compiten en nada en este rango de precio y contra el equipo Vizio.
Tal vez el único contra sería las cuestiones de garantía, pero espero que no falle con el tiempo.
Si quieres mas potencia, en este precio esta el Logitech Z906 con THX, Dolby, DTS y 500 watts RMS pero con conectividad muy reducida a comparación del Vizio.
Hacen falta unas bases para las bocinas traseras , yo adquirí unas de $400 pesos aquí en Amazon y quedaron excelente.
Lo complejo es cambiar entre tipos de conexiones; al intentar cambiar de una cableada a conexión por Bluetooth, a veces se conecta muy rápido a los dispositivos previamente conectados y a veces no (aunque el otro esté listo para emparejar)…. A veces es cosa de segundos y otras veces es prueba y error. La complejidad viene de que no hay pantalla, solo te guía por botones y luces LED; la realidad es que esto no es algo que debe llevarte a escoger o no el producto, pero si a estar consciente que en su momento podrías tener que reintentar varias veces una conexión Bluetooth antes de lograrla.
