5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound, great form factor, setup went fine.
Edit 2/1/21: I was able to figure out to turn off the audible voice that was calling out which input selection you were making each time you changed it. Pressing and holding down the mute button on the remote disables both the audible voice and it also turns off the small power light on the soundbar (the light still comes on when you switch inputs or make volume changes).Original review: So far so good. I am a diehard Bose guy and reluctantly downsized my home entertainment setup to reduce clutter in our media center. We previously were rocking a pieced together 3.1 AV setup, 1 Bose center channel, LH and RH bose 301 Bookshelf speakers and a Yahama 10” sub powered by a newer Denon AVR. The vizio Elevate simplifies the whole setup with a very cleanly designed central soundbar and wireless subwoofer. We don’t currently have room to run the rear satellite speakers that come with it, so we are just using the soundbar and sub.1st things first....everyone in here complains about the setup process. I had mine setup just fine using the SmartCast app. Not connectivity issues (I am on gigabit wifi), if I have one complaint it’s that the app doesn’t explain what some of the sound settings do (a little help rollover caption would help).The sound is a 90/100. The dialogue is crystal clear, even better than the Bose provided. Mid level treble is a little flat or “canned”, it is lacking a little depth, this would probably get better if I was running the rear satellites. One thing to note is this soundbar makes you much more aware of how different movies or shows are audio mixed. Some shows have their levels subtly different and this soundbar will highlight that. Anything Atmos is fantastic!!! The outer sections of the soundbar rotate up and the coverage is incredible. If only everything could be Atmos mixed!! The subwoofer is incredibly powerful, I find myself having to adjust it down to a safer level for most TV watching.CEC auto input switching is a bit of a ghost in the machine. For some reason, regardless of which hdmi input we plug our Apple TV into, the soundbar always seems to default to the Apple TV as the first input to watch when you turn the TV on. Additionally, switching inputs the soundbar has this annoying voice that will announce what input you’re switching to. It’s a nice feature but there’s no way to turn the voice down, it’s annoyingly loud.All in all I am very happy with this purchase. Crisp clear dialogue is the most important thing for me when watching any movie or show and this thing delivers in every way for that metric. Great surround sound, extremely powerful sub, mid level treble really wants to be cranked up volume wise, otherwise it feels a little flat. I am happy with this purchase! Interfaced well with my Vizio 75” Quantum X TV.
5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding performance & value
This remarkable soundbar includes more features and better sound quality than anything close to the price. Problems connecting the phone app to the device were solved (make sure the phone and the soundbar are on the same wifi network and perform the initial connection only via wifi, rather than bluetooth). Customizable sound settings allow excellent fine-tuning to maximize performance for Dolby Atmos as well as exceptional quality when listening to music.Annoying voice assistance "feature" can be disabled using the Vizio phone app (it's called "Vizio WatchFree+), or the incuded remote control but for some reason it seems one must also disable the power indicator light as well to get rid of the voice assistant.Complaints about excessive bass emphasis out of the box are probably due to default settings and can easily be adjusted; this system can produce thunderous base in Dolby Atmos and other modes, while with proper adjustment also providing solid tight not-fat low-end perfomance and crystal clear mid-range and highs for rock/classical etc. music playback.At the remarkalbe discount price I paid there is nothing on the market that comes close. Construction quality is superb. The few quirky issues I've encountered have been minor in nature and I've been able to overcome all of them, and after learning the ins and outs I have the thing performing like a well-oiled machine.No major issues; highly recommended.
4.0 out of 5 stars Surprised by audio performance but...
[Update 2: Mar 2023] the soundbar was behaving oddly. Atmos inputs were no longer causing the speakers to rotate up suggesting that the bar was not detecting it as such. A complete bar reset and everything works including the iOS app][Update 1: Jan 2023] the latest iOS app update renders app completely useless. It won’t connect to the bar any more. Not sure how to fix.=====Overall, very happy with this unit, but primarily from a sound stage perspective. The unit has non-audio issues that you should be aware of before purchase.Pros:- Good sound overall. The Atmos effects are very impressive. While the number of streaming services providing Atmos is low, Prime Video has some very interesting shows with this format - Jack Ryan, Rings of Power. And even on a very low volume setting, the Atmos effects from this soundbar-system is just awesome. The rotating speakers on the soundbar unit, may be gimmicky but they are very effective. My room is medium large with a large exit and no door, but still this soundbar manages to fill the room with sound when in Atmos mode.- Surround speakers and woofer work beautifully. Woofer could be punchy, but I am not a fan of vibrating the room for effect, so I don't have it turned ON beyond default and i still love it.- Depending on the source audio, the surround speakers have sounds coming through them that I had totally missed before owning this soundbar.- I had a Denon AVR + 4 Polk speakers, before I returned them all and replaced them with this Elevate and for the price of the elevate, it is sounds better than the AVR+passive speakers combo.- (not a pro per se) Music plays fine - I am not an audiophile, so can't say it is great or not.- The competing products are far more expensive (maybe double) - Sonos, Samsung HW-Q series.Irritating:- The iOS app to setup the soundbar is super finicky. I had to use the Wifi setup via the elevate remote to set up the soundbar - no other method worked, after an hour of trying.- the iOS app fails to connect to the soundbar when started after a few hours even. No way to force a connection, restarting app, restarting soundbar, nothing works. After some time of the app running, it just randomly connects to the soundbar to allow control via app.- Equalizer on this is very minimal, BUT it has a few options that perform wonders - the pre-set EQ - Movie, Music, Direct, etc. are sufficiently well tuned to be useful out of the box - but you can't control too much. When NOT in Direct mode, there are other sliders that you can control. The three I appreciated being able to control is "Surround Speakers Volume", "Dialogue volume", "Volume Leveler".- I have this soundbar connected to an older Vizio E55-E1 and the two have a love-hate relationship with each other - the TV sometimes doesn't connect to the soundbar, so both need a soft reset. Putting the TV's CEC on ARC mode keeps it much more stable - but that means no CEC to turn ON other devices OR be turned ON by other devices.Bad:- The soundbar creates an open wifi, that anyone within range can connect to. Ideally the system should close the connection after some time - this could be a huge security risk.- I have the Xbox X as the media device. If I do passthrough, letting the soundbar decode any audio from the playing media, then there is a delay in the audio played by 2 seconds - if you start a new video or pause/replay a video, then the 2 second delay persists. If I let XBox do the decoding of the audio, then no delay. This suggests that the decoder on the Elevate is low quality. IF you rely on the Elevate to decode, I don't have any way to work around this delay.- While it does come with mounts, mounting it straight is not an easy task and this system is super long and even a half a degree off and you can see the bar lean.
Sounds great easy set up
Great sound worth the money
