Works as advetised on my review.

I am a senior and this solved my problem of not hearing voices clearly. As an extra, it solves 95% of the problem of loud commercials and certain parts of programs being too loud. I have not made adjustments since up. I just use my Comcast remote.

Pros
  • AV203 TV Speaker
Cons
  • May not work well with certain streaming services or devices

Hearing Loss Problem Solved

I told my Audiologist that sound volume was not my hearing loss problem, but sound clarification was. When watching movies, no matter how loud I turn the TV up, I still can't understand all of the words and therefore I do not enjoy watching movies. My Audiologist suggested that I buy a sound bar. I did the research on sound bars and ZVOX was recommended for hearing loss. I bought the ZVOX and it has improved my enjoyment of watching movies and even hearing newscasts tremendously. I provided the

Pros
  • Remote control uses large buttons with easy to read labels
Cons
  • Could add unwanted noise to the environment

Works as advertised

The sound clarity selections work well for helping to understand speech when watching programs on TV. My wife has the hearing loss and it helps tremendously in understanding what is being said. However, because of her severe hearing loss, she still needs the closed caption. What doesn't seem to work as well is the dampening of music that is being played during a program. It still drowns out the dialogue.

Pros
  • You can fine-tune the soundbar to match your hearing ability easily
Cons
  • Could be too quiet for those with progressive hearing loss

Easy set up/great TV sound

This sound bar is exceptional for use with most TV’s. To ensure a small thin footprint, makers have their speakers facing BACKWARDS vs forward. This causes sound waves to be reflected off drywall or other hard surfaces. The ZVOX faces all sounds forward towards the listeners ears. A much better outcome. I have installed 5 or 6 for friends. Everyone lives this little sound tweak.

Pros
  • Output Levelling tames loud commercials and spikes in volume between channels
Cons
  • Could disrupt sleep or quiet time for other household members

The 30 day return guarantees you will get a used product.

I expected something that costly would be new and not a returned item. The first one didn't work at all and the inside packaging had crayon coloring all over the bottom. The replacement also showed signs of previous ownership but at least it works. If I wasn't so desperate to hear the TV dialogue I would have returned that one also.

Pros
  • The AV203 Speaker is designed to help with hearing loss and tinnitus
Cons
  • May require frequent updates or downloads

Recommend for those that have dialog hearing challenges

What can I say? This device does exactly what it claims to do; enhancing, clarifying, and improving dialog in all movies, TV shows, or DVD/Blu-Rays. If your video has either poorly done dialog (bad mixing by studio) or similar issues, this soundbar could be for you. We've been very happy with it's performance.

Pros
  • With 6 levels of voice boost, you can find the perfect setting to match your hearing needs
Cons
  • May be difficult to troubleshoot issues

Expect a hassle! Don't count on customer support.

Factory support was rude & too brief after a 10-minute hold. Manuel was good for fire fodder only. Don't believe ads or Best Buy customer reviews. Check to make sure your TV is compatible

Pros
  • AccuVoice hearing aid technology with six levels of voice boost
Cons
  • Could require additional cables or accessories for setup

Everything I hoped for and More

I had been considering purchasing this sound bar for a long time, but with the Bluetooth connection with my Oticon hearing aide, I could get by. Now that my wife is starting to have hearing distress, it seemed like the time to try the ZVOX voice clarifying sound bar. All I can say is WOW, and I am sorry I waited so long. In fact both my wife and I can now understand the voices on television so well; I am using the Bluetooth connection with my hearing aide less and less. And finally, the…

Pros
  • It can be used with or without hearing aids
Cons
  • Could be distracting for those who prefer a minimalistic design aesthetic

Great for dialog on my review.

Not a game player so I wanted a sound bar specifically for dialogue. It's great! Especially for British dramas. What difference this made in actually hearing the dialogue. Highly recommend for those that aren't gamers or into block-buster, noisy thrillers.

Pros
  • Sounds better than internal speakers.
Cons
  • Could interfere with other electronics

Best customer service

5 stars rating is for the customer support.After 6 months the soundbar stopped connecting with its remote. After purchasing a new remote that didn’t work either I calledcustomer service. Best ever! I had to return the soundbar at no cost and 2 days later I received a new one.

Pros
  • The soundbar can connect to multiple devices through various input options
Cons
  • Could interfere with cable or satellite signal

Excellent audio on my review.

A significant improvement in our TV audio. The sound is clearer at lower decimals (volume). Very pleased! That's my review!

Pros
  • 5 pounds
Cons
  • May have limited range for remote control

Remote won’t work - my new review

I just received this item & was excited to see if it helped me hear dialogue better. Sadly, the remote control died after 10 minutes. I’m really disappointed & will probably return it if I don’t get a replacent remote & so far, customer service has been disappointing.Edit: I was able to get the cost of a remote refunded & am waiting for a new remote. Still a frustrating experience. Sound quality is good from what I can hear (unable to adjust settings without remote.)

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • May not fit in with overall home decor

I can hear the words now!

Easy to install, set up, and adjust. Movies are so much better when you don't have to guess at the dialog! It's also a relief to know I'm not damaging my hearing by turning up the volume in an effort to hear the words. We now have very good sound quality, and easy volume control. The remote buttons could be more responsive (4 stars for that), but overall it's still a great product. I definitely recommend for casual TV and movie watching.

Pros
  • Just what my ears needed, works perfectly
Cons
  • May not be loud enough for some users

Crapped out after less than a year.

This was a great speaker for my hearing impaired father. But then died after less than one year. No replacement parts available, zero customer service. Don’t waste your money like I did.

Pros
  • With its simple yet effective design, the soundbar offers an excellent value for money
Cons
  • May not be returnable or exchangeable after purchase

Great sound! - my new review

The sound and remote are great.When pairing to the TV remote, mute does not work.Otherwise, we are very pleased. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Can actually hear movies on tv now👍
Cons
  • May not work well in larger rooms

Cheaper Than Hearing Aids

I had a sound bar with woofer box and it quit, so I searched for a new one and found the Zvox. I wanted it for more clarity. The remote made it possible to manipulate the sound quality. The bass is good, but the treble still makes most women's voices sound a bit tinny. I had hoped that the "clarity" would make it possible to understand English actors, as in some of the great PBS programs, but generally they still might as well be speaking a foreign language. All in all, the Zvox is many times…

Pros
  • Like compact size. Beats any other sound bar I've ever had.
Cons
  • Requires manual adjustment for optimal performance

Do not need hearing aids when watching TV

This gives me exactly the assistance I needed hearing the television. With one of my TVs it was easy to connect. With an older one, it required adaptors and this was not at all clear in the instructions. However, when I emailed the customer support I got exactly the information I needed.

Pros
  • It enhances the overall TV viewing experience by amplifying and clarifying the dialogue
Cons
  • May not have enough inputs for multiple devices

it won't work with multi-speaker set ups

Never got it hooked up. After finally getting the info, found it will not work with my muiti-speaker set up. Nothing wrong with it, it just won't work with me receiver/speaker set up.

Pros
  • Happy
Cons
  • Adds clutter to entertainment center

Dialogue Enhancer: my feedback

My mom cant hear or understand 3 out of 4 words you say to her. She could no longer enjoy tv because it was worse. Got this and was able to tune it into her without making it obnoxiously loud to disturb neighbors and she can watch all of the Westerns she wants now. She has been enjoying it for nearly a year now and very very happy with it.

Pros
  • Sound Bars
Cons
  • May require frequent adjustments for different shows or movies
