Hear what you’ve been missing with the newly designed VIZIO V-Series™ 2.1 Home Theater Sound Bar The V-Series 2.1 offers immersive sound, a sophisticated new look and HDMI connectivity for the highest-quality audio plus sound bar volume control from your original TV remote. For pristine clarity, two full-range speakers at 96dB SPL are tucked inside a subtly textured, all-black sound bar that stays clean and lives discreetly beneath the TV, while the included 5” wireless subwoofer adds deep, booming bass to movies and music. 4K HDR content is enhanced with Dolby Audio™ for the highest-fidelity sound, and DTS® Virtual:X™ sound enhancement adds room-filling, floor-to-ceiling virtualized 3D sound, placing you in the middle of the story or front row at your favorite concert venue. The new Voice Assistant Input gives you the convenience of a voice assistant you are already accustomed to (sold separately) and lets you operate it right through the sound bar for an upgraded audio experience. With its powerful sound and easy setup, the VIZIO V-Series™ 2.1 Home Theater Sound Bar can help turn your living room into a captivating home theater.

RTINGS

If you're looking for an affordable bar with lots of thump and punch in the bass, check out the Vizio V Series V21-H8. It's a 2.1 setup like the Samsung HW-A550, but its dedicated subwoofer can reproduce a more extended low-bass, making it a solid choice for listening to bass-heavy music. There's even a subwoofer level control that lets you adjust how loud the subwoofer gets.

Its default sound profile is quite bass-heavy, so you feel the rumble in bass-heavy genres like hip-hop and EDM. The mids are still quite balanced, so dialogue in TV shows is clear and detailed. You also have some options available to help customize its performance, including bass and treble adjustments and a dialogue enhancement mode.

It lacks Atmos support, and its surround sound performance isn't the most impressive. You won't find a full graphic EQ, limiting your ability to adjust its sound, especially in the mid-range. Still, if you want a budget-friendly bar with a boomy bass, it's a good pick.

TechGearLab

While the very low price of the Vizio V-Series 2.1 Home Theater Sound Bar V21-H8 had us momentarily questioning our ears, we can assure you this soundbar sounds better than several more expensive competitors, while offering a dearth of useful features and presets. There is a powerful subwoofer that Vizio recommends placing next to or behind the audience, where increased proximity to the rumbly bass makes for an exciting experience. Dialogue enhancement and night mode also make for a great viewing experience at lower volumes.
Though this model is solid for the price point, it can't hold a candle to the higher-end model in terms of overall sound quality. While powerful, the bass can sound muddy and overwhelm the rest of the mix. When we did turn the bass down, the weak mids and sometimes harsh treble became more apparent. This isn't too much of a problem when watching action films at high volumes, but it makes for a poor experience when using the soundbar to listen to music. Still, this soundbar is a monumental improvement over any built-in TV speakers, and if your bank account can't absorb a high-end sound system to pair with your newly acquired flat screen, the Vizio V-Series 2.1 Home Theater Sound Bar is a very solid option.

DO NOT BUY - VIZIO V-Series 2.1 Home Theater Sound Bar With Wireless Subwoofer - Model V21-H8

  The Roku Smart Soundbar seemed like the perfect solution.  I used it for a few weeks and ended up returning it.  Here is what I experienced:

Next is to buy another Roku Ultra remote for his and hers.  If you haven't lived that way, its great.  You can pair two remotes to one Roku, FYI.

Despite its ridiculous name, I was incredibly jazzed about the Vizio SB3621n-E8&nbsp;soundbar when it came out in 2017. It was a great-sounding, affordable soundbar&nbsp;and has remained my favorite value over the last three years. The Vizio V21 reviewed here is its natural successor and enjoys a number of upgrades beyond a simpler name. The new bar adds HDMI, changes the cosmetics and includes an intriguing smart speaker connection

 Instead I compared the new $180 Vizio against a couple of other 2020 models, the $250 Polk Signa S3 and the $300 JBL Bar 2.1 Deep Bass, but it's obviously worth keeping in mind the significant price differences.Compared to those two products, the Vizio's secret weapon is its DTS Virtual:X compatibility. The feature, first seen in Yamaha speakers, enables humble soundbars like the V21 to emulate a surround system, and it performs very well

 Ty Pendlebury/CNETSoundbars are black blobs for the most part, heard and not seen, and the V21 follows the industry template to the letter: basic black with a mesh cover and a slightly textured plastic top. The topside also offers a series of controls including input selection, Bluetooth and volume control.&nbsp;Though the length of the soundbar is no longer in the name, as with the SB3621 (Sound Bar,&nbsp;36&nbsp;inches,&nbsp;2.1 channel

5mm analog input and another, all-new 3.5mm connection for your "voice assistant speaker" (read: Amazon Echo Dot).       Ty Pendlebury/CNETThe idea behind the "VA" (voice activated) input is noble enough. You connect your smart speaker to this port and the soundbar switches to the input automatically when it hears a command

Vizio V21 review: Best soundbar under $200

I have v21 h8 and it is been very difficult to set up. Assistant can link via Bluetooth but then you cannot have other devices link to the soundbar. There is voice assistant aux in but sadly no ga gh product has 3.5 mm jack

I am interested in upgrading my soundbar and wish to control it using Google home voice commands, e.g. changing the volume and current input. I currently have a Google mini in the TV room which I use to turn on/off the TV and Hue lights. The one device in the room that Google can't affect is the soundbar though, any time the volume is too soft/loud I have to find where the kids last placed the remote. Most soundbar Google assistant descriptions describe using the soundbar to receive voice commands like a Google mini, but I'm not finding descriptions if the soundbar can be controlled using commands like "turn up the volume on the Vizio" (regardless of what input it is currently using). I'm currently looking at the Vizio M512a-H6, has anyone had any experience with this?
Thank you!

Do Vizio soundbars support changing the volume using Google Home?

After extensive research for soundbar/subwoofer ordered a Vizio. Pre-read quick guide prior to arrival. Got all & was baffled at remote being impossible to open, so after googling & still couldn’t open, called Vizio. Connection to wherever the call goes to was hardly audible, finally Rep suggested I use a small coin to pry the remote open, which I gently did, and the the ENTIRE remote fell apart with pieces flying everywhere, and her suggestion was then for me to just not use the remote

After calling Amazon who then called Vizio it took over 20 minutes for Vizio to agree to send new remote (not expedited) even though it was in notes referencing my telephone number that one of their reps caused the issue by directing me to do something that caused the damage. Worst customer service

 Wireless subwoofer that looks top of the line, looks modern and small. You can place it anywhere in that room as well. Has the better options than the other sound bars and it comes with the subwoofer on top of that, all the other sound bars don't have voice assistant for 119.

 So if it's going to be sitting on your mantel, it's going to be on your right side. It'S got the hdmi also on the right side, which makes sense, because that's where your hdmi cables are on your tv on the right side, it has the sound bar hdmi arc. You peel here, the auxiliary vas are on the right side from the back. Here

 I didn't want too much base in my basement. I have the lg 700 one with the dolby atmos and the bigger sub. That thing is enough power. For me, this is for my family room

 This is the v21-h8 36-inch sound bar, and this is a budget sound bar from costco for 2021 2022. So this is a brand new model that packs immersive, theater sound and i'm excited to unbox it the price 149.99. It'S on sale right now for the holidays for 119

It’s just over $1000 I think but the Onkyo NR7100 is 9.2 channel, has Dirac live which is way ahead of XT32 room correction and way more flexible, and far better value per dollar than the equivalent Denon. 

Well I finally convinced my wife that a good receiver was worth spending money on. 

Pro-tip: My tactic is to talk non stop for a week about the awesome $1600 model so that I finally compromise with her for the $800 model. This works for tools, guns, computers, and fish-tanks too! It's been about 30 years and she still hasn't caught on 😄

*So* I picked up the Denon AVR-S960H, in stock at Best Buy for $750.

This replaces a 10 year oold Sony model that didn't have fancy bells &amp; whistles like HDMI 2.1, Audessey, etc.

If you had a choice to replace the Denon with any other model under $1000, would you? And which would it be? I just want to be sure I've made the right choice before the return period expires. 

The Denon seems nice, and I've paired it with a new dream speaker set up of Klipsch RP series, including RP180f, RP450c, RP250s, and SPL-150. 

It's heavenly, and my wonderful wife listened for a couple minutes to some movie magic and music and said "wow, I get it. Sounds great." It was very rewarding, like introducing someone to steak when they've eaten hamburger-helper for years. I know there's lobster too but I'm not rich!

I bought the 8K model because I want to play 4K games at 120hz on my LG C9 (OLED rocks) when I can finally score a 3080 or lol 4080. But do I NEED to go through the receiver? It seems like I would want to go through the receiver, otherwise to access the menu I'd have to switch inputs just to access the menu to change bass settings - gosh I just want more knobs 😐 The HEOS app wouldn't detect the set so I couldn't use it yet, need to troubleshoot.

*Anyway*, so what other receiver should I consider in this price range. I can't go higher than one grand. She has her limits and I need to leave room in the wallet for good bourbon 😇

Cheers, and thanks in advance for any advice, or if you just want to talk about my setup, or your setup.

Recommendation to replace Denon AVR-S960H

 I think it's 24 or 28 gigabits per seven per second, so we'll leave it at 4k enhanced, so that'll get the 4k uh 60 um up to the um, all the hdr formats. So we won't put that at 4k, enhanced right so we'll leave that there and i'm not sure why phono is on 4k enhanced, i'm not sure yeah. I can't turn it off, but that's very important guys so make sure you do this now, also guys when i first turned it on uh. It says: welcome and all that stuff, but also a firmware update, popped up right away

 This is, if you want the audio of your source, to pass through the receiver to your tv speakers um sure i think that's a good thing. Yeah absolutely leave that on because now every time i want to have my receiver on, i want to use my tv speakers. So this way the the sound passes through the receiver to your tv speakers, so they can be used uh when you want uh e-arc. Of course is on uh lipstick

 Oh that's amazing! So if this honky was in my home theater, i would definitely get my clip speakers set up to it but um, but for eclipse owners out there a huge, plus and win to get this onkyo, because it's gon na be matched with your clip speaker. So huge huge props to unkill for putting that in that's amazing, um yeah. So that's that distance, of course, is going to be. You know how many feet for speaker to listening position level calibration whoa boy, it's gon na get loud, i think, hold on [ Music

 So i would probably turn this on to [ Music ] uh, i'm gon na, say 30 min uh, i'm gon na say an hour. So if it doesn't have any signal for an hour, it'll turn off automatically unit. While i can off in no signal so turns off automatically, if no signal that'll, no, no, no, not necessarily uh, let's see usb power turn that off network standby on. So if you want to, you know, play music through the onkyo from your app like turn on

I love this AVR. Onkyo TX-NR7100 - Setup and Menu Overview.

These are a class above the Klipsch.  The tightness of the bass without any sacrifice for high end.  Stupidly good value for money.  I cannot recommend enough
