However, the rear speakers are practically nonexistent, making the 5.1 channel setup moot. The sound quality is rated highly, but there are some issues with Bluetooth connectivity and weak peripherals. The soundbar is compatible with Samsung TVs and can be paired with new rear speakers if needed. Overall, the Samsung HW-Q65T/ZA is a good choice for those looking for a high-quality soundbar, but it may not be the best option for those looking for a complete surround sound experience.

Verdict

The Vizio V Series V21-H8 is a great soundbar for the price, offering powerful bass and an expressive midrange. It is easy to set up and has a fast UI performance. However, it can be difficult to link other devices via Bluetooth and there have been reports of sound quality issues after some time of use.
