"However if your main use is music and occasional movies, get the Vizio. ... if I had just these two options, I would pick Vizio for my use case. It sounds way better for me."
"If you’re set only on a bar for a bedroom or a small tv either will be good with the elevate producing better sound and has a better sub."

"Too many software ridden issues ... The soundbar just decides it wants to take a vacation time to time and doesn’t respond to you no matter what, won’t even turn on. ... Will have to wait a few days for it to decide it’s ready to come back."
"Constant resets"
"The sound would just not work, even after turning the system on and off multiple times."

"Yeah that really pisses me off. ... Sometimes I turn the TV on at night while my wife's sleeping and blow the walls down because I can't tell where the volume is set. ... Lately as it turns on I just hold the volume down button lol"
"Except the fact that there is no volume level indicator."

"You won’t hear much at all. ... Neither are really 5.1.2 or 5.1.4. ... The rear speakers on the elevate do fire up but it’s still the same sound that goes to the rear L or R. It is not a separate channel."
"none of these are even CLOSE to my all klipsch 5.1.4 system w/ the new klipsch rp1200sw sub"
"the sound is narrow when the atmos speakers go up ... the atmos on that like most bars is a mostly a gimmick."
