    Wait 800 for a Spotify speaker thatโ€™s insane $300 is reasonable $500 might be bareable but it better nail the movies YouTube everything I throw it at

    My wife and I bought a Vizio TV and a Vizio sound bar. We are very happy with what we have, but this new system is very interesting. Our new puppy chewed up the remotes. But Vizio sent us a new one. Great product.

    first



  5. Abrahan Ruiz on March 3, 2021 at 12:24 am

    900 with that money or less you could buy a good receiver a sub and speakers



  6. John Shaw on March 3, 2021 at 12:24 am

    Interesting

    "While at 999$.."

    Aight I’m gonna head out.



  8. Peter Pan on March 3, 2021 at 12:29 am

    I keep thinking this brand makes $99 special sound bars



  9. ali ali on March 3, 2021 at 12:31 am

    not good for movies?…………….so whats the point?



  10. King Arthur on March 3, 2021 at 12:31 am

    At 999 pounds lol what a waste ofmoney. For 999 buy a better tv with better speakers in it. I got a 55 inch ambilight phillips 4 k tv and it has atmos sound built in and sounds great…l have a subwoofer for base attached to it. All cost me 650….this soundbar at 999 is a joke…seriously people pay this much? And it dont evem have rear speakers or left and rightones …lol…l guess theres people wtupid enough to pay these ridiculous prices….oh and by the way…if u watch a movie with ambilight..hard to go back to a tv without it..its awsome.

    been using a Panasonic HTB370 for about 7 years. i think i’ll just stick with it ๐Ÿ˜‰



  12. MySpankster on March 3, 2021 at 12:32 am

    i listened to this and the Sonos Arc…and i prefer the Sonos especially with the 2 subs and the ONE SL’s for rears



  13. Richard Humphrey on March 3, 2021 at 12:33 am

    Runs rings around sonos arc. Are you saying this because of the rears and sub that comes with it or are you saying even a sonos arc with a sub and rears is still sub par to this. And yes I know there is about 850 Us dollar difference in price for a full sonos. Also question, you made it sound like it’s not great with movies. Why else do we connect these to a visual display like a TV if not for Movies? Since you like to compare, why didn’t you also reference this system in comparison to Samsung high end HW-Q950T? Isn’t the HW-Q950T close in price right now to this Vizio?



  14. Kenny on March 3, 2021 at 12:34 am

    999 bucks…not bad!



  15. Mizanur Bhuiyan on March 3, 2021 at 12:36 am

    OKAY, C|NET, IT MUST BE A AWESOME UPDATED SOUND PROVIDER TO ENJOY MUSIC……. SOUNDS!



  16. lambo2655 on March 3, 2021 at 12:40 am

    I have a BOSE sound bar I bought in 2018 and the spatial audio from this device fills my entire room. It makes movies and games sound incredible. It feels like sound is coming from every wall in my room after I did a simple procedure to map out the room. The optional subwoofer isnโ€™t even required. BOSE products arenโ€™t cheap this model cost close to $800 but I donโ€™t regret my purchase at all.



  17. James Jackson on March 3, 2021 at 12:40 am

    Is that an old school Samsung touch of color 1080p tv๐Ÿคฃ. I think I have that same tv.



  18. inverter03 on March 3, 2021 at 12:41 am

    For the price to have wires when Bluetooth is available not worth it.



  19. Ruben Gonzalez on March 3, 2021 at 12:44 am

    Has Dolby Atmos and DTS X but "isn’t suited to movies"??? Cool๐Ÿ‘



  20. Zombl337 on March 3, 2021 at 12:44 am

    the moving parts of the bar make me nervous about longevity



  21. oO0Xenos0Oo on March 3, 2021 at 12:44 am

    Some samsung soundbars had this feature a few years ago already. An array of extra speakers that point towards the ceeling in addition to the front facing speakers to simulate surround sound by bouncing sound back down on you. No moving parts involved ๐Ÿคจ



  22. Alexis Velez on March 3, 2021 at 12:46 am

    lol he almost whispered it being plastic… thats how you know these kind of videos are paid sponsors.



  23. Bob Simmons on March 3, 2021 at 12:46 am

    Slips in, "it isn’t suited for movies" at the end?

  27. Cheddar323 on March 3, 2021 at 12:48 am

    That thing is massive… not sleek at all but cool idea.



  28. sherri moquin on March 3, 2021 at 12:50 am

    I love sound bars in general



  29. Cรฉlio Firmo on March 3, 2021 at 12:55 am

    Incredible!!! I am quite sure that the designer use to be of Sony’fan at that time when Sony used to have good quality for their appliances…



  30. Blender Study on March 3, 2021 at 12:57 am

    Revolving speakers? That’s brilliant..!! Thank you for the update, CNET..!!



  31. TOSStarTrek on March 3, 2021 at 12:58 am

    If you have any kind hearing problems all you need is a basic soundbar.

    Did he say newbies or movies?



  34. Eternal Eden on March 3, 2021 at 1:02 am

    Idk I like the sound bar but I constantly have to adjust sound because things get constantly blown out of proportion



  35. JogBird on March 3, 2021 at 1:06 am

    its really stupid to hang the display flat against the wall and have the sound bar out front like that



  36. Shannon Gillespie on March 3, 2021 at 1:07 am

    Beautiful looking system. To bad it isn’t good for movies. Great review. Thanks



  37. Memes n Shet on March 3, 2021 at 1:11 am

    *…click out of 5 and…we got it open*



  38. Tom Havenda on March 3, 2021 at 1:13 am

    I have a 7.1 system with towers, bookshelves and a 12", used for $1100



  39. Patrick Worthy on March 3, 2021 at 1:18 am

    Second



  40. Hang Limbu on March 3, 2021 at 1:18 am

    Yes thats how you convince people on how good it sounds…i.e. without playing a single sound on it. What a waste of time
