Any soundbar that is compatible with the previous connections can be used regardless of brand.

However, smart soundbars from the same brand like VIZIO are made with additional features and compatibility tailored for their brand specifically which can reduce unexpected problems regarding compatibility between the two.

Generally speaking though, most non-VIZIO brand soundbars should still provide a smooth setup experience and should work just fine when connecting it to a VIZIO TV.

Why a 2.1 soundbar is the “sweet spot” for those on a budget

A 2.1 soundbar works well for those on a budget because you still get the bass & sub bass from a subwoofer, but you don’t need a complicated set up.

When it comes to virtual surround sound, almost any stereo speaker can be used if the source supports the tech involved. I personally used the VIZIO V series 2.1 for years without any issues.

• 2.1 soundbars offer an amount of surround sound most casual users could consider “good enough”
• This advanced sound is created with such few speakers due to illusionary effects from the soundbar, subwoofer & software combo. 
• You’ll also have less clutter in your home theater or living room.

Many 2.1 soundbars come with built in Bluetooth so that you can easily stream music from your other electronics devices without the need for additional cables or cords.

5. VIZIO Elevate: Most premium VIZIO Soundbar (with a subwoofer)

the sound bar and rear speakers sound terrific and the Atmos effect is really cool

The VIZIO Elevate soundbar is a unique product in the industry of home audio as it offers a 5.1.2 channel setup with advanced capabilities such as Adaptive Height Speakers, Alexa Compatibility and Immersive Sound technology (Dolby Atmos).

This is something that few other soundbars in the market are able to offer, making the VIZIO Elevate stand out from its competition.

Compared to other soundbars, the VIZIO Elevate has an additional two speakers for surround sound which helps create a more immersive experience for listeners compared to a traditional 2.1 setup.

Alexa integration which allows you to easily control your music using voice commands just like any other Alexa-compatible device you may own.

However, what sets this product apart from its competitors is its price tag – while most high-end products come at an hefty cost, the VIZIO Elevate soundbar is quite pricey due to its advanced features and versatile design and should be given serious consideration when looking for a luxury sound system for your home.

The Sonos beam, like most soundbars, can play most audio types from your VIZIO TV. For example, even if you jailbreak your Roku and play local media –  it will work, but you may not get the premium sound you get from official streams.

Although having these features makes the Sonos Beam an attractive choice for consumers who want their audio setup to include some modern tech features, it lacks the type of immersive sound setup that 5.1 soundbars can provide.

This means that while it can create a good overall audio experience that’s better than average 2.1 or 3.1 systems without Dolby Atmos or voice controls, they won’t be able to emulate the full cinema-like experience of more sophisticated 5.1 setups.

What I liked:

The biggest issue with this unit is that it does not include any voice control capabilities and certainly does not have the more advanced sound technologies like Bose 5 Smart Soundbar or Vizio M-series models do.

This means that while this product may still deliver good sound quality within its price range, if you’re after features such as object-based surround sound audio or hands-free experience with voice commands then this might not be the best option for you.

In addition to the Polk Audio Signa S4, there are two other models: the S2 and S3 soundbars. Both of these have the same slim design and connecting options as the S4 model but their capabilities may differ slightly due to their size and speaker configurations.

What sound bars are the best based on Size of TV?

It does not matter which soundbar you get, but you may feel a more significant audio experience on a 5.1 channel device because larger TVs are typically placed in larger rooms.

For decoration purposes, you may want to choose a soundbar that is smaller in length than your Vizio TV. This will help keep the look of your living room neat and tidy.

Small rooms (115 x 144), might be able to get away wit ha 2.1 channel, but a 3.1 or 5.1 channel is ideal for medium and large rooms. I’d go as far as to say 5.1 channels is ideal.

If you have a larger room, then you may want to opt for a longer soundbar with more channels and features such as Dolby Atmos or DTS:X. These features will provide an immersive audio experience that can fill up even large rooms with sound.

If you have a large TV, then it’s you’ll enjoy having a soundbar with powerful bass capabilities to ensure that all the low-end frequencies are heard clearly.

What is the best soundbar for a VIZIO 55 inch, 65 inch, and 70 inch TV?

Best soundbar for Vizio 55, 65 inch, and 70 inch VIZIO TVs is the VIZIO M-series or the VIZIO elevate models. This is because larger rooms have larger TVs and these two models can adequately handle immersive, home theater quality audio.

If you’re on a budget, it really depends on if you want a rear or not. Vizio soundbars have some of the best prices for the quality they give to home theater setups.

How do I connect a Soundbar to my Vizio TV?

Connecting a soundbar to your Vizio TV is relatively straightforward, depending on the type of cable or connection you choose. 

If you have no cables, then you can connect your soundbar via Bluetooth if both devices support it. To do this, simply turn on your device and pair it with your TV using the bluetooth button on your device.

So, how can you set up a soundbar on a VIZIO TV? 

• If you want to use an HDMI or optical cable, make sure that the ports match up between the two devices. A
• After this, simply plug one end of the cable into the HDMI port on your soundbar and the other end into the HDMI port on your TV.
• Next, adjust your settings on both devices.
• Once connected, set up CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) so that you can control the volume of your soundbar with your TV remote. This will ensure that all audio is routed through the device for a more immersive experience.

Finally, if you have a wireless subwoofer, make sure to pair it with your soundbar before turning on the power. This will ensure that all audio is routed through both devices for deep bass and an immersive experience. [keyword]

What Soundbars are compatible with Vizio TVs?

If they have HDMI or ARC connections, they should work, but the number of slots available matters.

Many soundbars are designed to be compatible with multiple TV brands, but there may be one or two off-brands that may not work with Vizio models.

To ensure that your soundbar will work with your Vizio TV, make sure to check the compatibility before making a purchase.

Also see: Check our list of the Top Wireless Speakers for Roku and Roku TV.

Additionally, look for features such as HDMI and ARC ports, Bluetooth connectivity, and virtual surround sound capabilities to get the most out of your audio experience.

HDMI and ARC ports (compatibility)

The number of HDMI and ARC ports available on your TV and soundbar can affect the compatibility.

Having more HDMI or ARC ports available allows you to connect multiple devices to your TV, such as a streaming device, gaming console, or Blu-ray player, without having to unplug the soundbar each time.

ARC (Audio Return Channel) is a feature that allows audio to be sent to the soundbar via the HDMI cable and also allows you to control the soundbar’s volume with your TV remote.

This feature is preferred when connecting a soundbar to a Vizio TV as it offers the most convenience. It eliminates the need for an additional audio cable and allows you to control the soundbar volume using the TV remote.

Should I get a subwoofer for my Soundbar for a VIZIO TV?

Adding a subwoofer to a sound system can significantly enhance the overall audio experience, particularly when it comes down to those who really want to feel a deep bass an fully immerse themselves into a show, movie, or even a podcast.

Make sure the soundbars you are considering have a good frequency response. Ideally, you want the bass to go down to 40hz. It would be better if the sub could at least reach 20Hz, but not required for a quality setups.

There is a big difference between being responsive at a particular frequency range and being able to emphasize that range when it matters.

This is also why it’s crucial to also read reviews and check the brands reputation (Vizio, samsung & Boss are all reputable from my experience)

A subwoofer is specifically designed to handle these lower frequencies, producing deep, rich, and powerful bass that can add a new dimension to your listening experience.

How we rated and chose our top picks

Compatiblity and price was a big factor when testing and rating these soundbars. I wanted to make sure that the soundbar is compatible with most Vizio TV models.

First and foremost, we looked at the features offered by each soundbar. We considered both wired and wireless options, as well as 2.0 channel, 2.1, and 5.1 systems.

We also took into account whether or not the soundbar had smart capabilities, as this can greatly enhance the overall viewing experience – this was a big factor in our top choices in addition to price point, and ease-of-use.

We also ensured  the number of HDMI and ARC ports available on both devices were adequate. Having more ports available allows you to connect multiple devices without having to unplug the soundbar each time.

We also considered the overall build quality and design of each soundbar. We looked for soundbars that were well-constructed and had a sleek and modern design that would complement any home theater setup.
