48" Vizio Elevate 5.1.4 Channel Soundbar w/ Wireless Subwoofer EXPIRED

Quote from greener : Not even on the Best Buy site anymore to order, must be a hot item if it's all sold out!

Yeah pretty interesting to note. It not available anywhere. Does Vizio took out or stop manufacturing it due to fixing it issues or what the reason... pretty fisy

I have had a couple of minor app issues like I did with the original Vizio atmos SB. I really think they completely sold out because of the original $699.99 sale price for a few days at the start of when this was offered as their newest SB. Someone said It was offered at same price on Vizio website same time and apparently the sale might have surprised them by the number of sales so now it's back to factory to start rebuilding a lot more! Great deal though for those that got in at the $699.99 price point, Love mine!

yeah vizio's site showed the updated price but they linked directly to best buy - they dont sell directly apparently.

FYI, reviews are out for the elevate:
https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutte...-soundbar/
https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/r...io/elevate

imagine if these reviews were basing it off a $700 price and not the $1000, its pretty easy to recommend to anyone that wants a full blown sound experience in a sound bar package. Very minor issues still, but I am very happy with it

everyone still have time until Jan to return which is good option based on how it perform to test, asses, validate and make a decision. I am sure with ThanksGiving upcoming weekend and in Dec Christmas and New Year we can blast this beast with sound measure the reliability of this sound bar. I do see open box item inventory keep up and go away in Best Buy so for sure by Jan more open box items will get pop-up

actually saw this and placed an order ASAP hoping it actually does release tomorrow.... or at least within a week. Everywhere else is either OOS or December estimates.. Probably too good to be true but we shall see

Back in stock.

Yep, was able to get one this time.

Did any one try out the soundbar yet? I still get some occasional dropouts with the signal for the subwoofer/rear speakers. I'm playing through my LG C9 and some apps (mostly Google Play Movies) causes the audio drop outs more than others.

This was a major problem with their last soundbar, the VIzio SB46514-F6. If you search the internet there's a ton of complaints about dropouts with that one. I have that soundbar as well and can confirm. The Vizio Elevate isn't nearly as bad.

Also, if I put my ear up to the rear upward firing Atmos speakers, very often I hear a weird high pitch hiss or static. If you're sitting a few feet away it's mostly unnoticeable, but depending on the audio that's playing sometimes the hiss/static is noticeable for a split second.

Can anyone else confirm these issues on their end? Overall I'm kind of disappointed with the Elevate. From the reviews I read (The Wirecutter, etc) I really thought this soundbar would fix all the issues I was having with the SB46514-F6 model, but it looks like I'm going to be returning this one and just keep waiting. Maybe I should have tried the JBL 9.1 instead.

Exact same issues on mine. Debating if I return before the window ends. Any improvements on your unit?
