VIZIO SB3651ns-H6 36” 5.1 Channel Home Theater Surround Sound Bar with Bluetooth Streaming Capabilities

MALVIOUS: Overall it's a good sound system for the price with some disadvantages.

Pros:
Good sound quality and volume
Remote is very useful and nearly everything is done through it and batteries are included
all cables are long enough for all uses
Good design for the subwoofer unit and rear speakers and average design for a soundbar
Has all the inputs I need including aux and optical
No delay when connected through aux and optical (see Cons for Bluetooth)
Good size, not too big nor too small

Cons:
It interferes with 2.4ghz or 5ghz wifi sometimes which is quite annoying.
Also, my unit came with the optical cable missing. I reached out to amazon and they said they can't do anything unless I return it, disappointed. This meant that I had to buy separately an optical cable.
Additionally, it's hard to see the buttons on top of the soundbar unit.
Significant delay in Bluetooth connection which renders videos unwatchable
Proprietary cable for rear speakers (connected to the Subwoofer)
The delivery box was in a very bad shape

Anna Hadlock: The soundbar, subwoofer and speakers are great! Truly transforms our living room into a movie theater. The set up was a challenge but worth it in the end. The directions are over-simplified (in my opinion) and fail to provide sufficient details about how to connect the sound bar to the TV. I've determined that you have to turn the sound bar AND the TV on in order for the bar to work - it doesn't automatically turn on when you turn the TV on. Once you figure out how to operate the sound bar and surround sound systems, it will be well worth it!

PayneHere: I like this because it's wireless on the rear speakers and sub. No wires is the best thing going for this!
It's not perfect though, so maybe save your money a little longer until you could buy something a little better, even from this company as these are pretty entry level.
The sound doesn't cut out, but even with eco mode turned off, if the TV doesn't have something playing on it, standby mode or just on but not doing anything, the speakers turn off. Then the TV remote won't turn it back on, you have to use the remote it came with. That's not too bad, but annoying.
Then, there's a setting call true volume or TruVol on the remote. It helps make the sound louder. It says it's on but I always have to turn it off the on for it to be on when using the TV.
It was easy to wall mount under the TV and connecting the sub and rear speakers wasn't too bad.
The version I bought there's not screen on the remote, just a little screen indicating what menu option you're on so setting and tuning the sound settings was tricky, just read the manual though.
If I could do it again, I wouldn't buy it, I'd spend more for something better, but it works and sounds...

J. Zion: I love this sound bar. The design of the subwoofer, allowing it to be put underneath the couch is ingenious. It allows the bass to just fill up the room. We have a pretty small space which is in an open concept level of the house, but the sound from the sound bar and the satellite speakers really work amazingly well.

The only issue I had was trying to connect a few items via Bluetooth. It had trouble remembering the connection for the next time. I don't know if that was an issue with the device I was connecting or the soundbar. No matter what, Bluetooth just isn't working for me. Good thing I don't need it. I just connected the optical out of my TV top the soundbar and I'm good.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this soundbar model for everyone on a budget wanting surround sound and a really nice amount of bass.

VICTOR GARCIA: El sonido envolvente es excelente para un equipo de sonido con este precio, lo instale en la sala de TV y da la sensación de estar en una sala de cine.
Aún no logro que el equipo se mantenga sincronizado con el control remoto de la TV pero esto no le resta desempeño.
Pará escuchar música de Amazon Music o de Spotify también tiene un muy buen sonido

Austin: I love the sound quality. Has an issue of connecting to a phone via Bluetooth. Other than that and the spurts of losing sound after a night of binge watching. It has great sound quality.

geewhizz: Very easy to set up. All the cables you need come in the box. Hooked the sound bar up to my TV using the ARC connection and the sound is really good, especially with movies. Great quality at a great price. Love it! If you're looking for a quality sound bar that won't break the bank, then this is a great option for you.

Luis Barraza: Me gusto mucho, viene la barra. el subwofer es inalambrico, lo que si no te escapas son los cables de los altavoces al subwofer pero nada que unas buenas bases no ayuden a colocar, mi televisión es marca vizio tambien y fui muy fácil la conectividad, con el tema del blue ray no tuve problemas tampoco, agarra el sonido perfecto y se escucha excelente, recomiendo el producto ampliamente.

Jorge G: La calidad de las bocinas laterales me sorprendió, el subwoofer es fácil de situar en diferentes lugares y posiciones gracias a su diseño, la barra en estética le doy un 6 pero un buen punto es que al instalarlas se sincronizan automaticamente y su sonido es muy bueno. La forma de configurar con el control los sonidos a envolvente, aumentar graves y agudos es un poco complicado entonces la configuración base al parecer es la mejor. Es más compleja de configurar el sonido para videojuegos, películas o música que otros sistemas de audio que, por ejemplo, tienen en el control botones para eso mismo (un botón que dice "cinema" por ejemplo), en este caso hay que configurar uno a uno a como el usuario lo prefiera, es lo único malo considerando que no soy experto en audio, sólo quiero un excelente sonido para películas y la consola de videojuegos y de ahí que mejor lo dejé en envolvente, estoy satisfecho con la compra aunque podría mejorar, ya que aprenda a configurar con el control podría mejorar mi calificación.

BurtFamily: If you're looking for a budget system, then this is the one for you.

Unboxing: I was impressed with what came in the box and how it was packaged. Not a lot of packing materials which is always a plus. What really blew my socks off was how the cables are in another box, separated out and so organized it will give any hardcore OCD cable management geeks an orgasm. All the cables you need that can apply to any connection scenario. Truly impressive. All the speakers where easy to unbox with minimal packaging waste.

Setup: What got me to purchase this besides the Vizio brand was the HDMI ARC. Once I had my speakers placed and connected I stumbled a bit trying to understand how to connect it to the TV. I have a tendency to overthink and that's where I had a bit of a short circuit. Once I calmed down I was able to understand what needed to be done. My fear was that I would get no sound from my other devices like my BD player and PS3. Once again, overthinking got in the way. Sound operated as normal and honestly it was nothing to worry about. Everything connected just fine and I had a fully operational surround system in minutes (minus the 30...
