Great clarity! - Home audio

We have had TV sound systems for many years. But now in high school, the sound systems have too much background noise to hear dialogue clearly, so we switched to the TV's standalone speaker for clarity. This TV speaker has 12 levels of sound, from a strong background sound for us to a very, very weak background sound to make watching a movie even more enjoyable.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Finally something that eliminates background chatter

Bought for my 90 year old mother who has a fairly severe hearing loss. She likes it very much. She can watch movies, sports and other TV shows and actually understand the dialogues. The stupid background noise in the TV show is practically absent for them. It's particularly stupid when the sport trumpets into the artificial noise of the crowd when nobody is in the stands. It erases it.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Functionality

This ZVOX amplification system is very good at eliminating noise that disturbs the hearing of the hearing impaired. This allows you to distinguish spoken words much better. The different settings are difficult to understand. We copied the instructions for connecting to our TV remote. It works, but then suddenly it goes to a much lower volume. Then it has to go back to how it was.

Pros
  • Everything OK!
Cons
  • Low repairability

Best for Voice Boost

This 157 is ZVOX's latest and greatest soundbar for voice clarity. It features 6 levels of voice amplification and 6 levels of compression. 50% I can clearly hear all voices in movies (my biggest problem) Compression levels reduce all sound effects and loud background noise in movies drowning out voices by hearing voices

Pros
  • An Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Periodicity

A good product. Not very good customer service

The product works as advertised but needs to be properly calibrated. I had some difficulty following their written instructions as the soundbar would not properly connect to my TV and cable box. When I contacted their support team I was surprised by the help I received. The technician was rude, brusque and dismissive. In the end I figured it out myself. Based on this experience, I will no longer buy this company's products and will not recommend them to anyone.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Clarity

Meets Spec - Intermittent issues

This repeats my original 5 star rating. The product initially worked as advertised, responding to volume, mute and on/off commands from our main remote without affecting the ZVOX system settings. After 5 weeks it started turning off intermittently even though I had turned off the auto-off feature. The ZVOX technical representative initially reported that the system was faulty, but ZVOX would not replace it as the unit was purchased through Revain. After another email, a second representative…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Nothing

Easy install, great customer service, easy to use and it works!

This soundbar is exactly what every hard of hearing person needs to hear and understand dialogue while watching TV. I've wanted to buy ZVOX for over a year after seeing the ad, but I was wondering if it would really help. Originally I wanted ZVOX to only block out loud background noise that was overwhelming the voices, which was very annoying. This works great as promised. However, I recently started watching some UK Netflix shows and found that I couldn't understand much of what they were…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Other Other

Zvox makes good soundbars

AV157 really improves voices. I have an older SB500 with AccuVoice but not 12 adaptations so I did a comparison between the two on an English language TV show where all the actors had varying degrees of English accent. Both speakers improved speech intelligibility almost equally, and there was very little difference between the AV157's 12 settings when AV was set to AccuVoice level 2 or 3. (Speech intelligibility, however, is a personal issue that depends on individual hearing.) The BS500 has a

Pros
  • This is amazing

  • Some bugs

It does what it says on the tin, exceptionally well

About 3 years ago I had hearing problems as a result of an MRI scan where I was not fitted with proper hearing protection. Since then my hearing has been deteriorating and watching TV is frustrating for me because I've missed so much, especially watching movies on Netflix. I bought a Bose Solo 5 soundbar with a simple on/off feature that improves dialogue quality and it worked for a while. Then that too lost its usefulness as my hearing deteriorated. Sometimes I had to back up my dash cam…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
