Works Very Well! - my new review

This really works well. I like the headphone jack as well. This replaces a Bose sound bar that was disappointing and lacked one. In some instances, I need headphones to watch TV with my wife.

Pros
  • Great for hard to hear people
Cons
  • May not be aesthetically pleasing to all users

It really works ! in my review

I was very surprised it did everything it said. I would recommend this to anyone who has a problem hearing the dialogue. Spend the money you won’t regret it .

Pros
  • The soundbar is designed to blend with many TVs and décors
Cons
  • Could cause eye strain from additional lights or displays

Another ZVOX Winner

Have been a satisfied ZVOX customer with a Soundbase 555 purchased a few years ago for the TV in our living room. Since then, we have wall-mounted a newer smart TV, and my hearing has diminished a bit more. I was looking for a more compact alternative that also could increase the sound clarity. Enter the ZVOX AV203, which looked to be the perfect solution and update.The speaker is quite attractive (we selected black) and its footprint is very small (esp. compared to our older Soundbase unit)…

Pros
  • Perfect for movie nights or binge-watching TV shows
Cons
  • Could be too expensive for some users

Great sound quality for dialogue!

Love this sound bar. I tried another but it didn't compare. I have a hard time hearing the dialogue on my television and this sound bar fixed the problem. It's great!

Pros
  • Speakers
Cons
  • Could be difficult to install for some users

Fantastic products and company

The product and the company have everything needed for the hearing impaired. I will be purchasing the hearing aids soon

Pros
  • Excellent product. Does what it's advertised to do.
Cons
  • Can be easily knocked off a shelf

It's everything it says it is.

We got the AccuVoice AV203, and it's everything it says it is. We actually lucked out choosing an open box unit, and it was perfect, and it was about 25% cheaper.So to the review, you get 6 levels of voice clarity, which actually makes the sound crisper. plus the loudness control. We have a Samsung LED TV, and were using the TV's speakers only, but the sound quality sounded like the sound was coming from a closet, with a pillar over the sound speaker. I've tried other plug in TV speakers but…

Pros
  • Fine quality!!!! Cuts through the musical background to deliver clear dialogue every time!!!!!!!!
Cons
  • May not be effective for those with severe hearing impairments

Life Changing!.Once you figure out how it works

It has been a years long battle in my house. I'm a bit hard of hearing and so while watching TV/movies, I have to have the volume up to hear what is said. However, when the music or action parts come on, it blows the roof off my house and my family members immediately reach for the remote and turn it down. When the music part stops, I have to grab the remote back and turn it up again.it's been never ending.until I found this speaker! At first I wasn't that impressed and considered returning the

Pros
  • Bought it for my mom and she can't believe how well it works for her.
Cons
  • Sounds great! But the sound bar doesn't last long!

works as advertised

My wife has severe hearing issues and wears a Cochlear device. I bought this speaker to connect to my tv to eliminate the background noise and enhance the voices on programs. It works as advertised. I am no techy and I had the speaker out of the box, hooked up and operating in less than a half hour. No complaints on anything with the unit.

Pros
  • PhaseCue virtual surround delivers room-filling 3D sound from one small cabinet
Cons
  • May not be worth the price for some users

You can understand what they are saying

We use a firestick often and I always had trouble hearing what they were saying and being blasted by the background music. This system equalizes them both and the clarity is unbelievable.

Pros
  • Easy to setup, use and a great help hearing TV voices!
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all TV models

EASY! good for me

Fool proof to set! Plug in AC power, hook-up optical cable, put included batteries in remote, turn TV sound down and Bob's yer uncle!I can hear voices CLEARLY! In fact, voices are very clear and the Zvox unit fades away like you don't know it is there! Did I say voices are clear?

Pros
  • The dual speakers deliver high-quality sound to fill the room
Cons
  • Could add to electricity bill

Took a chance and was rewarded!

Amazing product. Performs as advertised. Easy as 1-2-3 to install. Sound is much better than the tiny speakers in my tv. I live in a condo and no longer worry about the neighbors hearing anything. Clear voices and nice bass sound.

Pros
  • It is an ideal choice for people who watch a lot of TV
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those using hearing aids or implants

Excellent Voice Improvement

Had a couple of little issues setting the speaker that were easily corrected with assistance from customer service. They were very quick to respond and guided me through the steps to correct the issues. Is a very good speaker that definitely clarifies people talking. Highly recommend for this reason.

Pros
  • No Cons. Easy install. Sounds great. Voices are definitely out front now.
Cons
  • Requires a separate power source

I purchased this item for a different television but I am missing the RCA cable and can't get any help as there are no more of this speaker.but if necessary I will sed it back

Pros
  • Very quick response quality product
Cons
  • Limited color options

Helpful, but not great

Dialogue is easier to understand, as I have lost some upper range hearing. However, the remote often has difficulty communicating with the sound bar. This is particularly true when I switch from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 programming. I often have to click it 8-10 times to get it to respond. Changing batteries did not help. Occasionally, clicking the lower volume arrow actually increases the sound! I have had to jump up and manually lower it on the bar itself. I have thought about returning this bar, but

Pros
  • The speaker is compatible with most TVs available in the market
Cons
  • May infringe on patents or copyrights of other companies

problems with sound bar

it stopped working and was unable to get the sound to stay on. I had directv and a video repair man come and neither one could get it to work so I returned it

Pros
  • It uses advanced digital processing algorithms to enhance the sound quality
Cons
  • May require an additional remote for proper operation

DirecTV remote does not pair with AV203

Had an AV203 previously which recently died. Bought another as we need it to lessen background sounds on the TV. Old one worked great with remote for DirecTV but new one would not pair after repeated attempts.Very disappointed that I have to use ZVOX remote to adjust volume levels.

Pros
  • Home Audio
Cons
  • May not be effective for deep bass or music

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Worked reasonably well. Until it didn't.

The AV 203 offered multiple options for sound clarity for about one year. Sound quality did improve human speech clarity. Then it simply would not power up. Voltage tested power input. The unit just suddenly stopped turning on. 3 months after warranty. DEAD. money waisted. Look for a better brand. One year service is unacceptable. I still have my stereo amp from the 1970s working great!

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • Could cause distraction from the TV programming

This doesn't work for all channels

This helps on regular channels OTA (over the air) with TiVo. On nights we watch CBS the sound gravitates between muffles and loud voices and is very annoying. I called the company and they had me restart the speaker to reset the box but it continues to be a problem on that station. Whatever they use to make the experience greater on the channel screws with whatever Zvox used to make theirs better resulting in terrible sounding commentary. I'm not happy with this speaker and ready to move on to…

Pros
  • It comes with an AC power adapter and a manual
Cons
  • Could be too loud or disruptive for those in shared living spaces

One more remote is one too many

We liked the sound from this bar on most stations however it was nuisance to turn on on and set volume, My wife has limited eyesight so it was hard for her to control. We sent it back but it did help clarify the sound.

Pros
  • Its 30-day home trial ensures complete satisfaction
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all sound systems or home theaters
