Review on ZVOX SB500 Soundbar With Accuvoice & Built-In Subwoofers For 50-80" TVs, Black Aluminum Home Theater Audio TV Speakers With Hearing Aid Technology And Six Levels Of Voice Boost by Michael Tran

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent sound bar, but not perfect.

This is an excellent sounding sound bar and the bass is much better than expected for an all-in-one solution. That being said, there are some obvious flaws that I'm surprised ZVOX has overlooked. The sound bar is designed so that it can be mounted on a wall, yet the power supply has a large transformer in the middle of it which makes it very difficult to fish through and hide inside a wall. In addition, the DC wire portion that comes out of the transformer is not very long which is also not conducive for this application. Furthermore, this unit does not have a line level subwoofer output for customers that may want more bass than what this sound bar can deliver. These are options that could have easily been added with very little cost and should have not been overlooked by a company that has so much experience in making these kinds of products. All in all, it's a great sound bar and is still one of the best in it's class.Note: The updated version of this model does include a subwoofer output now but the power cord issue still remains.

Pros
  • The ZVOX SB500 Soundbar offers exceptional value for its price, making it an ideal investment for any home entertainment enthusiast
Cons
  • May be too expensive for budget-conscious consumers
