VIZIO5.1.2 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.

Perfect and definitely worth the money. I got it for just over $300 USD, it is the 2024 refresh model, got everything needed to get all its features working, such as dolby atmos. Extremely clear audio, hdmi connectivity is effortless and very appreciated, it does Bluetooth as well and that works super seamlessly and easy. The bass is fantastic, booming, wayyyy more than most weaker listeners would need. Im a bass guy so I truly appreciate the thunder and boom when im watching something. The rear speakers are super nice as well, very high quality and setup was literally a few minutes. Just plug stuff in and set it where it needs to go and boom. All done. I loveeeeee the adjusting side speakers on the soundbar, you will likely want them up or set to wide if you have the speaker slightly lower than your sitting or laying position, 10x more immersion and louder, clarity also is better with the up firing drivers. The app is absolutely fantastic as well, provides a plethora of features and options for the soundbar, way more than any other soundbar I've used, samsung, bose, LG, onn, etc. So Bravo vizio. Just buy it. Thats all I have to say. Nothing is better than this for the price. Even the ultimeas cannot compare. At least not with the sound quality and immersiveness.

The VIZIO Elevate SE 5.1.2 soundbar is the real deal. Setup was fast and painless—except for getting it out of the box, which is a workout if you’ve only got one working arm (speaking from post-surgery experience here). Once it was out though? Smooth sailing. The sound quality is exactly what you'd hope for at this level—Dolby Atmos really deliver that immersive experience. Whether you’re watching movies or just streaming music over Bluetooth, it fills the room in a way that makes you forget you’re not in a theater. Heads-up: there’s no remote included, but if you have a newer Vizio TV, it syncs up seamlessly and you can control everything from the TV interface. If not, the SmartCast app does the trick. The wireless sub hits hard, the surround satellites do their job, and the overall look of the setup is sleek and clean. If you're after a cinematic sound upgrade without diving into the complexity of a full receiver-based system, this is it.

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.

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!
