So, you get the picture: This bar/sub combo is the essence of simplicity, from its design to its user interface and controls.
#IRIP 2.1 REVIEW TV#
However, once I had the EQ (equalization-essentially adjustment of bass and treble emphasis) where I liked it, I used my TV remote 99% of the time to simply adjust the volume. You can also jump through inputs and sound modes. You can adjust bass and treble, as well as the subwoofer, separately from the main volume control, which is all most people will need to do. You'll find a useful set of on-set controls along the top of the bar-power, sound mode selection, input selection, Bluetooth, and so on-but I don't think I've personally used them once the included remote is very useful and has plenty of buttons. Like most soundbars, there are on-set buttons on the model itself, but most people are going to just use the included remote-or better yet, the TV remote you already have. You're also getting a standard Vizio soundbar remote with included batteries. Both the soundbar and sub are powered via identical power cables. In the box, you're getting the soundbar, subwoofer, and the HDMI/optical cables you'll need to get going. Sound formats: DTS TruVolume, DTS Virtual:X, Dolby Volume.Wired connections: HDMI ARC, 3.5mm input, optical audio, USB input.

Speakers/drivers: 2 drivers (soundbar), 1 woofer (wireless subwoofer).Whatever it's called, here are the specs you'd probably rather hear about instead: On Vizio's website and on the actual product's box, it's called the Vizio V-Series 2.1 Home Theater Soundbar, but you may also see it identified as the Vizio V21-H8. If you're hunting for this soundbar out in the wild or online, you may see it by a couple of different names. The Vizio V-Series 2.1 soundbar has everything you need to set up and start enjoying better audio right in the box, thankfully.

For what you're paying, this soundbar/subwoofer combo is a stellar value, and-especially if you're still toiling under the mediocrity of your TV's stock speakers-should be on a short list for anyone looking to seriously revamp their cinematic audio. The bar itself is loud, clear, and balanced even with only two speaker channels, and the subwoofer boasts ample bass (a bit too much at times, but more on that below). Where you might find yourself wishing you'd spent a little more is in the features category, but you'd probably have to spend quite a bit more to get a perceptible increase in sound quality. Generally, the design elements, remote, connectivity, and overall functionality are very solid-while nothing will blow your mind, so to speak, we can't imagine anyone would have complaints. At $180, the Vizio V-Series 2.1 (there's also a pricier 5.1-channel version available) boasts a lot of value: You're getting a 36-inch, stereo channel soundbar and a hefty wireless subwoofer alongside a suite of useful features and pairing options.
