This speaker replaced 2 Sony XB7s that I got from Best Buy. It not only sounds great, but resolves a bluetooth issue I had with the previous speakers. The bluetooth would cut off while I had my Apple Watch 7 paired to my Iphone. This is no longer an issue and have had my watch paired with this speaker to my iphone ever since. Well done!

Finally. A robot vacuum you can rely on to get the job done. The Roomba j7 robot vacuum packs 10x the power-lifting suction and comes with unique intelligence to avoid cords and pet waste. It even understands times when you~re home and seasons when more cleaning may be needed. Compared to the Roomba 600 series cleaning system.

Impressive Robot Vacuum for the Money!
on April 19, 2022
Posted by: Bill
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am thoroughly impressed with this product. This is my second Roomba. This one has to be at least 10 times smarter than my first. I am very impressed with how it maps my home and cleans. I also decided to empty the dust bin and i accidentally moved it off the charging dock. Instead of it just sitting there, it powered on, and left the dock, and adjusted it self back so it could charge. That really wowed me. The light on the front has 4 brightnes levels and auto adjusts to what it needs at any given time. I am also impressed with the fact that if it is done with an area, it cuts off the vacuum portion to save battery so it can go to another part of the house and clean. I sent it home from the opposite side of the house, and instead of it trying to vacuum while it was finding its way home, it cut off the vacuum portion and went straight back to its charging dock. I did encounter the Mesh Wifi issue mentioned in another review, but closing the app fixed the issue once I opened it again. This could be fixed in a future update of the app. This is a very well made machine and a value for the price I paid. Well Done!!!

Take movie nights to the next level with this 5.1.2 VIZIO home theater sound system. It has Dolby Atmos technology built-in, so sound seems to come from all around you, and a six-inch powerful subwoofer creates thumping bass you can feel. This VIZIO home theater sound system has a main sound bar that produces rich, clear audio.

Great hardware, some software headaches
By Thomas
This system packs a punch. The bass and surround sound are impressive. I haven't gotten a chance to view any content in Dolby Atmos, but so far I like what I hear. The silver/black exterior looks nice, so my wife didn't mind the addition of the 2 rear speakers to the living room. The box includes easy-to-use mounts for the bar and satellites, as well as every cable you'll need.
Shout out to the helpful Vizio customer service who helped me when the soundbar wouldn't connect to my LG C9, that was great.
My only complaints are that the HDMI ARC doesn't always sync up with the tv, causing it to switch to the tv spreakers. This requires me to turn off/on both units and cross my fingers that they sync up via ARC. I also haven't been able to get the Vizio Smartcast app to find the sound system. I will have to give this some more effort, as the physical remote isn't intuitive for adjusting the settings without the user guide handy.

I dont even use the HDMI ARC. I have it connected via digital optical cable and it turns on and off with my harmony remote. It is less of a headache to have it set this way. Hope this helps you.

Absolutely Stunning Performance, So Much Bass!
By Cupra from Keller, TX
This Sony SRS-XP700 Portable Bluetooth Speaker has blown me away. Even from the moment I hit the power button, and the warm, deep welcome tone sounded, I sensed this speaker was going to be good.
Linking to my phone couldn't have been easier, press the bluetooth button on top for 5 or so seconds and then look for it in the bluetooth setting on your phone. Fired up a recent favorite of mine 'Hurt - by One Desire'. The bass was instantly punchy, you could feel it in your chest and your furniture! I was not expecting so much bass from a completely wireless bluetooth speaker. And it is constant bass, it doesn't fade as you turn it up. There appears to be some kind of witchcraft going on inside this speaker!
The set up consists of front and rear tweeters for room filling, omnidirectional sound, and x-balanced main speaker units combined with Sony's infamous 'MEGA BASS™' system providing a pounding soundtrack. This speaker handles all genres of music thrown at it with ease. The x-balanced speakers are a unique Sony development that enable to keep the bass punch at higher volumes, without sacrificing clarity.
I have a very open living room with 22ft ceilings, and this speaker absolutely fills the space with a hall like sound, at only half volume. And the beauty is, that being omnidirectional, the sound is everywhere, you can walk around the house and while you know where the speaker is, it is not 'obvious'. There is just sound in the room.
The speaker does come with a power cord, so you can run it plugged in, but if you want to take it away from the electrical grid, the internal battery lasts for around 25 hours, without compromising the sound quality or that incredible bass. And if you need to 'top it off', a quick 10 minute charge gives you an additional 3 hours of playback time. Great charging technology included in this astounding speaker. There is a button in the center on the back that when pressed gives you a voice prompt of the battery life.
Along the handle and the base are discrete LED lights that dance and flash along with the music, but they are also completely controllable using the Sony 'Fiestable' app which is a downloadable companion. Install the app and then you can go in and change all sorts of settings on the speaker for full LED control. You an also sync to your phone to use it as an additional light source. You can turn the LEDs off with a button on the back, or using the app.
And talking of apps, download the Sony Music Center app for complete control of the speaker. You can adjust many settings from the app, including the MEGABASS, Live and Custom equalizer to tune the speaker to your liking control over Bass, Mids and Treble exactly as you want it. You can also see a complete and accurate battery life indicator here.
On the back under the IPX4 rated cover, there are controls for gain and volume to use this speaker as a karaoke speaker or as a guitar amp, to make this speaker a complete all rounder. Imagine that - hook up your guitar and just take it wherever you want for a full days worth of sound. There are two USB ports under that cover as well, so you can bring your own flash drive with music on it, OR you can create a wired connection to your phone, which not only gives you audio clarity, but also charges your phone from the internal battery. This speaker is so versatile!
On the top are some simple buttons to play/pause, connect to bluetooth, turn on/ff and control the MEGABASS. These are rubberized to maintain its water resistance. This speaker is NOT waterproof, but water resistant so it can be used near a pool without fear of it being splashed, or having drinks spilled on it. But it cannot be submersed in a pool for example. And also on top is a long slot, which is designed as an iPad/iPhone stand for when you want to have full control using the apps, or if you want to use the speaker in Karaoke mode. A useful addition to the top of the speaker.
Inside the speaker is a motion sensor, and it has rubber feet on the base, but also along one side. When you change the orientation of the speaker, the speaker adapts and switches the orientation of the tweeter output to maintain it's phenomenal sound. There is a slight pause in the music as the sensor adjusts (half a second) so that you know the sound orientation has changed.
You can pair this speaker to another one, and assign it a left and right channel, to give full stereo sound, OR just use them both as a 'party chain' to fill an even larger space with sound and light.
As far as portability, yes, it is completely wireless, but with it's internal battery and unique speakers system, this speaker is not light at a little over 37lbs including the battery. You will be using both carry handles as you move it around. But all in all, I think that is a small price to pay for the incredible sound and stamina that this speaker has.
The Summary:
This is absolutely, the BEST wireless, bluetooth, portable speaker I have ever used. I've been blown away by it from day one, the sound is incredible, clear, strong and very bass heavy, which I personally love, it's so versatile and acts as a 'complete system'. Highly recommended!

great pic-lousy sound
By Jimster
the picture is great, but the sound quality needs to be improved. I have to raise the volume control to at least 35 to hear normal conversation on shows. I will try adding a sound bar to see if it will make a difference, but for the money this set cost, it should have a better speaker system.

Great Sounding PC Soundbar
By Moudav
The V2 is awesome, and sounds great. Period. The RGB is a nice touch. Controls through Synapse work well (for me at least). Having it set to THX surround sound helped the sound settle into the room a lot more.
The only reason I am giving this a 4/5 is due to the fact that the only way you can input the sound is through usb-c. If it had more port options (optical, etc.), then I would have been much happier.

In order to get the Atmos content, do I just use 1 HDMI from TV to soundbar? And then all other devices hooked to tv? Or do I need to hook each device separately up to the sound bar?

you dont need hdmi arc for dolby atmos. you can connect it via digital optical cable and that will do the trick.
