Reviews around bar (5.00 of 5)

  • The sound bar was easy to install and brings the dialogue in clearly
  • I really wanted to like this sound bar, with its excellent reviews, its reasonable price ($165 open box) and AptX
  • The ZVOX SB400 is an excellent sound bar that met all my TV audio needs
  • All I can say, is that as a person with no hearing problem, it was difficult to clearly hear many of the voices on my new TV even with a good quality Sound Bar.
  • I purchased the sound bar since it was recommended by AARP to help hear the words more clearly

Reviews around bass (5.00 of 5)

  • The dialog is clear (I don't use the Accuvoice feature), nicely balanced Left/Center/Right soundstage, with ample bass, altho only down to the low 50's
  • Their claim,that a great bass sound will come out of this soundbar is absolutely unfounded
  • But without more bass, music and movies are not at all enjoyable.

Reviews around feature (5.00 of 5)

  • We really like the AccuVoice feature which does deliver ultra-clear dialogue!!
  • Anyone having a hearing issue will greatly appreciate this feature
  • We got this one after reading numerous reviews of sound bars, and are enjoying its features, particularly the voice clarification and the commercial sound management
  • It does have nice features, like the option to lay it upright or on it's back to clear the bottom of your TV.

Reviews around voice (5.00 of 5)

  • While AccuVoice makes voices clearer I find the normal settings without it produce quite clear voices
  • When I turn on the Accuvoice, the voices were a little easier to hear, but they were also tinnier too
  • As you might expect, the sound distortion introduced by the hearing assist is not pleasant, though the voices are clearer
  • ACCU voice works very well and is much appreciated by my ears which went through many youthful indiscretions

Reviews around way (5.00 of 5)

  • I also prefer the way the ZVOX displays the volume in meaningful steps from 1 through
  • I love the way my cable TV remote controls the ZVOX volume
  • This feels ... weird, and not in a good way

  • When researching sound bars with external sub-woofers I was considering the Yamaha YAS-207 which gets good reviews
  • I know that Consumer Reports did not give it a very good review, but I don't agree with their evaluation

Reviews around setup (5.00 of 5)

  • Setup was a breeze which just consisted of plugging in two cables (power and optical) then turning it on
  • Of course, the TV sound is way way better, but for music it is without question the best setup I have had

Reviews around surround (5.00 of 5)

  • There is a nice surround envelopment, I use the Sd 2 setting, never sounding unnatural, always well balanced
  • Easy to set up and provides expansive surround-like sound
  • but I prefer surround sound 1 for normal TV like the news

Reviews around quality (4.26 of 5)

  • I only gave it 3 stars since it did little to improve the sound quality.
  • Great quality just wished I had purchased this one instead of the Polk which was a waste of money
  • I mention this to friends of mine, who were also having a similar problem, and the said they purchased this sound bar and the commercials broadcasted were not as loud sound quality was much better when watching TV.

Reviews around range (3.22 of 5)

  • But, when listening to 2-channel music, this feature kills dynamic range and makes music sound awful; it's like there's a robot continuously fiddling with the volume knob trying to keep sound volume at a consistent level

Reviews around hear problem (1.00 of 5)

  • All I can say, is that as a person with no hearing problem, it was difficult to clearly hear many of the voices on my new TV even with a good quality Sound Bar.
  • And I'm in my 30s, don't have a hearing problem normally, but the default sound on my TV was horrible
  • and I no longer think I was starting to have a hearing problem
  • I don't have a hearing problem but am still waiting for some foreign film with muffled voices to give that feature a real test!We watched 'The Conspirator' (Lincoln's assassination) at surround sound 1 and found it quite enjoyable
