    Works well has issues
    EDIT: A significant problem is when playing music where that has a lot of space or significant dynamic range with points of low (but not zero) volume level, the soundbar will mute itself completely and not unmute until the level rises. I have verified that this has nothing to to do with the cables and happens on aux input most frequently. This is a rather irksome design flaw.VIZIO 2.0 Home Theater Sound Bar - SB2020n-J6 20" version. For me, this sound bar works much better than most others at over twice the price. It is clear, plenty loud and the DTS gives a very wide soundstage. It fits perfectly under a monitor. It has an adequate remote control that allows for selecting the source, the general EQ contours (theater, music, gaming, etc.), treble, bass and volume, DTS and TrueVolume. It has top mounted controls as well.The remote control settings are mostly cyclic with audible messages (male voice, English) detailing the setting choices made. It flashes a few LED's to indicate the source. The audible messages are OK but I'd rather not have them and prefer that there be consistent positive visual feedback by temporary LED indications. I guess that there is less product cost to program in a voice than to add such LED's. In retrospect it was a reasonable design/value choice.For inputs it has Aux, Optical and Bluetooth that all work perfectly with no problem pairing Bluetooth. The sound quality is essentially identical on all the inputs (not so for many other soundbars). It has an RCA output to drive a subwoofer.There are a few cons. It does not have HDMI though for me, this is moot, I am using it with a game rig, my graphics card has only one HDMI port which is version 2.1 that I use for the monitor video input. Considering the video bandwidth advantage of the HDMI 2.1 port over DP, in my case, the HDMI port would be wasted on audio. YMMV.Another minor problem is it doesn't have a lot of bass and really needs a powered subwoofer, but I have used and tried many sound bars and every one has needed a subwoofer. Since this soundbar doesn't try to be a subwoofer, it blends well with a quality sub. It results in very seamless transitions and adds a lot of punch which is great for gaming as well as listening to music or watching videos.A significant problem is when playing music where that has a lot of space or significant dynamic range with points of low (but not zero) volume level, the soundbar will mute itself completely and unmute when the level rises. I have verified that this has nothing to to do with the cables and happens on aux input most frequently. This is rather irksome. You may not notice this if you tend to play the bar loudly.Except for the annoying muting problem, this sound bar is well worth the $78US I paid for it -- a steal, especially for the high quality sound and small size. It easily fits it on my cluttered gaming/work desk (you can hardly tell that it's there). I am very glad that I ignored the haters and tried it, it works and sounds much better than might be expected for the price, the savings gave me a little more slack to buy a higher quality sub (which will be needed).

    we have a TV that is in a wall unit and the sound unit is in the back. We bought this and the sound was much better quality and projected into the room (filled it.) Very simple to install and looks good (not cheap). I am going to get another for my TV in the family room to get better sound quality. BTW. I was able to lower the sound volume from 40 to 20 with this unit and can hear everything better.

    Style: Soundbar OnlyPattern: 20 inchSize: 2.0Verified Purchase
    This sound bar works great, I bought it for a 50 inches TV, I don't have too much space so I needed a small soundbar and this thing delivers, the virtual DTS surround increases substantially the audio stereo imaging of the product, while watching the content you can hear as if the source of the sound comes from outside to the sides of the soundbar and not exactly on the position of the drivers, It's great. This virtual surround adds a little bit of echo to the sound, like all these virtual techs, but if you disable this functionality the sound position gets shrunk by a lot, and it starts to sound where the drivers are positioned a lot to the center since the soundbar is not that big, but the sound comes even clearer in quality.

    For the price is a great product, I'm using it with an optical cable for the connection, if you want to do the same you need to buy one since that cable is not included in the box.

I guess that there is less product cost to program in a voice than to add such LED's. In retrospect it was a reasonable design/value choice.

    For inputs it has Aux, Optical and Bluetooth that all work perfectly with no problem pairing Bluetooth. The sound quality is essentially identical on all the inputs (not so for many other soundbars). It has an RCA output to drive a subwoofer.

    There are a few cons. It does not have HDMI though for me, this is moot, I am using it with a game rig, my graphics card has only one HDMI port which is version 2.1 that I use for the monitor video input. Considering the video bandwidth advantage of the HDMI 2.1 port over DP, in my case, the HDMI port would be wasted on audio. YMMV.

    Another minor problem is it doesn't have a lot of bass and really needs a powered subwoofer, but I have used and tried many sound bars and every one has needed a subwoofer. Since this soundbar doesn't try to be a subwoofer, it blends well with a quality sub. It results in very seamless transitions and adds a lot of punch which is great for gaming as well as listening to music or watching videos.

    A significant problem is when playing music where that has a lot of space or significant dynamic range with points of low (but not zero) volume level, the soundbar will mute itself completely and unmute when the level rises. I have verified that this has nothing to to do with the cables and happens on aux input most frequently. This is rather irksome. You may not notice this if you tend to play the bar loudly.

    Except for the annoying muting problem, this sound bar is well worth the $78US I paid for it -- a steal, especially for the high quality sound and small size. It easily fits it on my cluttered gaming/work desk (you can hardly tell that it's there). I am very glad that I ignored the haters and tried it, it works and sounds much better than might be expected for the price, the savings gave me a little more slack to buy a higher quality sub (which will be needed).

    VIZIO 2.0 Home Theater Sound Bar - SB2020n-J6 20" version. For me, this sound bar works much better than most others at over twice the price. It is clear, plenty loud and the DTS gives a very wide soundstage. It fits perfectly under a monitor. It has an adequate remote control that allows for selecting the source, the general EQ contours (theater, music, gaming, etc.), treble, bass and volume, DTS and TrueVolume. It has top mounted controls as well.

    The 20" does not include any mounting brackets or any mounting hardware.
    The USER GUIDE accurately shows how easy it is to connect.
    I connected this to my Airstream, the Sound Quality is 1000X better than the Built-in TV speakers!
    It works perfectly in a small space!
    * throw an Optical Cable in your cart if you plan on connecting in that method.

    Firstly, this soundbar has amazing sound. I was listening to music via Bluetooth, and heard a song from like 1998 that I've listened to dozens of times and I heard things I had never noticed before.

    I had a hard time setting this up and I'm pretty tech savvy. I'll include some tips that helped me. I have a Hisense Google TV and wanted to use the RCA connection (the soundbar includes an audio cable with RCA on one end and 3.5mm on the other). The TV has one set of RCA jacks but I did not know until today that they are A/V IN jacks (not out). I think that's dumb but I can't change it. Luckily, the soundbar also included an adapter just for this scenario. It turns RCA into 3.5mm, and the TV has a 3.5mm out jack. One other alternative would be to have just a 3.5mm cord. I'm editing this review to add that the 3.5mm cord plus adapter was causing the audio to drop. I decided to switch to optical and haven't had any problems with that.

    After that, it still wasn't working. I thought of trying to turn up the volume and that did it. I had to fiddle with the TV and soundbar volumes until they were both kind of in the middle because at first one of them was up all the way and giving me a warning about loud volume.

    Just a note about Bluetooth: the soundbar connected fine via Bluetooth, but there was an audio delay when I used Chromecast to play video on the TV. I cast video from my phone almost all the time because for me it's easier to control. The cast video doesn't have an audio delay when it's connected via a cable. I actually tried a different soundbar a couple weeks ago with Bluetooth and it did the same thing. So I think that's something that needs to be fixed across the board.

    The soundbar is substantial and fairly heavy. I'm happy with it now that I was able to connect it. I also like that I can disable the auto-shut off.

    It was very disappointing to see that the product is of US specification (120V ) and the plug does not fit in the UK sockets. The worst part is that the return is of the US address and it costs me a lot. I just hope that Amazon might return the postage cost. Please check before you buy
