VIZIO SB2920-C6 review

The 2.0 soundbar features two powerful full-range stereo speakers that boost your audio and deliver amazing sound. DTS TruSurround is a virtual surround sound solution that delivers a realistic surround sound environment on soundbars. The SB2920 comes with a number of ports giving you multiple options to connect your soundbar to your TV. The Analog input ports include a Stereo RCA port and a 3.5mm stereo jack. The setup is very quick and easy - just connect the soundbar to your TV using one of the included cables. It is wall mountable and includes mounting hardware and remote control. VIZIO SB2920-C6

VIZIO SB3820-C6 review

There are 2.0 built-in channels. Output wattage is 100W. This soundbar has very clear and well balanced upper and midrange. No need to adjust those levels. Other reviewers noted that the bass is lacking, but that's what you should expect and that's exactly what I was looking for. I have a wired subwoofer that I like, so I wanted a sound bar with an RCA subwoofer out. Very few still have this option. You're just stuck with the wireless sub that they come with. The remote control is high-quality, it even has an LCD display, which displays the operating modes and steps of the initial setup. VIZIO SB3820-C6
