When I needed a soundbar for my system, I did what the average American would do – I went to the local Walmart. There, I found myself the Vizio V Series 5.1 Soundbar.
Out of the box, you get a few things – the soundbar itself, two wired surround sound speakers, and a wireless subwoofer. You also get mounting hardware, and other important cables.
I’ve had this setup for about a year now. I keep my surround speakers on tables next to my bed, which makes it easy to distinguish sounds on the left and right. It’s great sound quality too – the V Series 5.1 has Dolby Atmos and DTS x features. The bass is really good too, sometimes traveling across the room giving you great immersion. I watch a lot of movies, and everything sounds really good.
While I have the older version, it looks like Vizio has dropped a new version, with additional features. This includes a phone app to change settings, a modernized design. You can also mount the new one to some TV’s, but it only works with select VIZIO TV’s.
If you are looking for a low cost soundbar, this is a great option. Not only is it great for your TV, but you can also use the built-in Bluetooth and connect your phone.
The VIZIO V Series 5.1 is only $199.99 on Amazon right now. Looking for a sound setup for your PC? Our current recommendation is the Logitech G560.
