Lots of references to this soundbar in the Vizio thread:

https://slickdeals.net/f/18866260-128-vizio-5-1-soundbar-with-dolby-atmos-wireless-surround-speakers-compact-subwoofer-walmart-early-access?src=SDSearchv3&attrsrc=Thread%3AExpired%3AFalse%7CSearch%3AType%3Aac_keyword%7CSearch%3ASort%3Arelevance%7CSearch%3AHideExpired%3Afalse

Looks like the price has dropped another $20 from the references there (matching the Vizio price) and has actual upfiring speakers. One comment noted that it's possibly a clone of the Hisense AX700

Saw that too. I've been lurking for a while. Tempted to bite on this one.

Got one. Finally bit because my 2.1 soundbar is complete garbage and to not get something better with a sony 65" is a crime.

I got this to bring surround sound with Atmos (upfiring speakers from the soundbar) to the bedroom. Nice sound and a great deal for the price.

This Insignia soundbar is only designed to receive audio from a TV's ARC/eARC port, NOT from source devices, in order to unlock Dolby or full surround sound.
just in case anyone wants to use this for a computer

I've been looking for soundbars in the. $100-200 range the last few months. I missed this deal by minutes last time. Glad I did now for another $20 off. If it's really a clone of the Hisense, I think it's probably the best deal you can for this price point.

Got this as well as the Sonos Arc. My Samsung TV / Apple TV, none of it support Dolby Atmos. The Samsung TV does have the HDMI Arc output but not eArc.

With that said, I am leaning towards this deal with Sub and 5.1 setup. What do guys suggest?

Also, are returns easy at Best Buy for open items? Thinking of trying the Sonos as well.

My Xbox has an awful sound delay on my old soundbar if I do anything other than plain stereo I'm guessing since it's regular ARC and uses compression for the other formats. Since this is eARC it's uncompressed and should theoretically remove the audio delay?

I initially purchased the Ultimea m60 but for $30 more I got this instead. Solid deal for an entry true 5.1.

I got the Onn 5.1.2 bar for $200 and have been impressed. Wonder how this compares...

$129 for Cyber Monday!

These are really decent for the price, I got them on Black Friday and they've been fantastic.

Sound quality is extremely subjective, and it's frustrating when A/V manufacturers don't make the component specs readily available. I haven't been able to find the driver sizes for the sound bar speakers & subwoofer at all, which probably means they're not that great. At least it's pretty easy to return if you don't like the sound, I guess.
