Our take on the VIZIO V-Series 2.1 Home Theater Sound Bar with DTS Virtual:X, Bluetooth V21x-J8

The VIZIO V-Series 2.1 is a 36-inch sound bar paired with a wireless 4.5-inch subwoofer. It aims to fix thin TV sound with clearer dialog, stereo separation and real bass without adding rear speakers. DTS Virtual:X, Dolby Audio and DTS Digital Surround process compatible content, and HDMI ARC lets the TV remote handle volume. It suits budget-minded movie, music and gaming setups; against pricier bars it lacks rear speakers and upward-firing drivers, and owners report the virtual height effect is modest.

What reviewers say

  • 4.3 / 5502 ratings

Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 502 ratings, owners largely see it as a big step up from TV speakers for the money. Dialog clarity and the wireless sub draw the most praise; complaints center on modest virtual surround and bass that can overwhelm small rooms.

What people mention
  • Dialog clarityPraisedOwners say voices in movies and shows come through much clearer than on TV speakers.
  • BassMixedThe wireless sub adds depth, but some find it boomy or overpowering in small rooms.

Questions and answers

Does it come with a subwoofer?
Yes. It is a 2.1 system with a wireless 4.5-inch subwoofer that pairs to the bar automatically.
Will my TV remote control the volume?
Over HDMI ARC, the bar follows your TV remote for power and volume on most compatible TVs.
Does it support Dolby Atmos?
No. It handles Dolby Audio and DTS Digital Surround and uses DTS Virtual:X for a simulated height effect, not true Atmos.
Can I stream music from my phone?
Yes. Bluetooth lets you play music and podcasts from a compatible phone or tablet.
How big is the sound bar?
The bar measures about 36 inches long, 3.2 inches deep and 2.28 inches high, so it fits under many TVs.
Do I need rear speakers for surround sound?
No rear speakers are included or supported. Surround is simulated by DTS Virtual:X from the bar and sub.
