VIZIO SB3621n-E8 2.1 Channel Soundbar System - Bluetooth Enabled - Wireless Subwoofer

Sound bar has clear dialogue (my hearing is not the best at 70); plenty of distortion free decibels when needed and low enough profile as to not interfere with TVs ir/rf window.
I have a vaulted living room and the SB3621 fills it with wonderful highs and deep bass response. Really brings the flat screen TV sound to life.
Awesome sounds!!! Subwoofer is for real. High - highs and low lows and everything in between.
It sounds really fantastic at higher volumes, but at lower volumes certain frequencies noticeably clip in and out, which is annoying.
The mid range out of the center speaker is hollow and tinny sounding, regardless of settings used.

VIZIO SB3821-C6 2.1 Soundbar

Viewing movies yields a pleasant experience without missing most of the LFE's (low frequency effects) that are carefully crafted into most movies, and sometimes provide essential cues for the viewing experience.
The sound is crisp and clear, and easily carries across rooms. There is a surprising amount of bass frequency definition as well.
Regular television speech is more pronounced, and action movies and video games sound HUGE.
The sound bar has a reputation for crackling from certain frequencies.
The first speaker that I received made this awful crackling sound at certain frequencies like others have mentioned.

VIZIO SB3621n-E8 2.1 Channel Soundbar System - Bluetooth Enabled - Wireless Subwoofer

Sub is just 51/2 inches but base is very good, once again, excellent for its size.
Pretty satisfied with the performance, ease of use, and size of the unit.
This sound system is perfect for a medium size theatre room. This is my second vizio soundbar and I will probably be sticking with them from here on out.
I have a good sized open space living room/dining room/kitchen and this sound bar filled the room fantastically. Easy to install and operate. Highly recommend in every aspect.
Love in a medium sized apartment with a small living room and this unit was perfect.

VIZIO SB3821-C6 2.1 Soundbar

This sub makes sounds that it just shouldn't be able to make at its size. Mighty mouse lives.
For it's size and price, the sound quality is good and the volume capabilities are reasonable.
I am absolutely shocked by the sound quality from this thing for it's size and lack of satellite speakers.
Bass unit really is amazing for its size. Anything louder would bug the neighbors and my wife.
It has phenomenal bass for a unit of its size. I'm blown away by how it fills my entire room with warm sound.

What customers say about "Features"

VIZIO SB3621n-E8 2.1 Channel Soundbar System - Bluetooth Enabled - Wireless Subwoofer

All settings and functions work well except I have not used BT with my iPhone but expect it to work well.
Great sound bar for the price! Easy installation. Received product quickly and as advertised.
I think it was was worth it. Sound is really good. Easy to set up and operate.
The sound bar was very easy to install and set up and It has great sound. Also very easy to setup up smart phones to connect and play music.
The only problem I have is the LED display for the different functions of the bar. Plenty bright enough but it’s like Morse Code.

VIZIO SB3821-C6 2.1 Soundbar

This is a really nice setup. Very easy to install and the sound is great.
Action movies come to life with this sound bar. The bass speaker is WiFi and installs very quickly.
Installation was extremely easy. The setup also took no time at all. The subwoofer provides adequate base for sports and movie viewing.
Setup is super easy, the remote works fine (although it's a bit of a hassle to have to use yet another remote control), and the sound is quite good.
It was easy to install and I was able to program my TiVo remote to operate it.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

VIZIO SB3621n-E8 2.1 Channel Soundbar System - Bluetooth Enabled - Wireless Subwoofer

Very easy connect, very good sound, excellent for the price. Defenitely recommended!
Plug In the power cables, connect the optical to the TV, and voila! This Vizio booted up on its own and the sound quality is amazing.
Visio SB3621 has great sound for the money whether used in conjunction with my flat screen TV or streaming music via Bluetooth.
Connecting is just ok. It’s plug and play and then you just hit the proper setting in the remote to the input you need. Good to go.
Took 3 minutes to hook up and turn on. Bluetooth also works seamlessly from my phone.

VIZIO SB3821-C6 2.1 Soundbar

Connecting bluetooth to it from our phones is simple and quick and it is equally simple to connect it to our television.
The bluetooth connectivity is flawless and the fact that the sub woofer is wireless makes it even better.
The Bluetooth wireless connection to the sub woofer was an important consideration so that the installation could remain as invisible as possible.
This sound bar beats other costing WAY more than this. It has a solid construction, a wireless bluetooth subwoofer and a remote control.
The Bluetooth cracked a few times when I was about 10 feet away, but I'm not sure that was a problem with the unit, but rather the stream or interference.
