🔊 Optimized ZVOX AV200 TV Speaker Technology Review

Serious quality control issues. The first device worked fine but shut down every 10-15 minutes. Bad in the middle of a basketball game. The company said they can help me bypass the on/off button, but I don't trust a device that's buggy to begin with. The second device remained, but the sound is either good, then disassembled, then improved again. Tried all settings. I like the idea, but not the reliability/quality.

15 minutes after connecting to our Samsung TV we heard a "pop" and the sound was gone. Tried other connection paths, nothing helped. After reading other 1 star reviews I found that it doesn't work with Samsung TVs even though the Revain ad didn't mention it. I contacted the seller through Revain and had to file a complaint through Revain for them to approve the refund. I have tracking confirmation that they received the returned item a few days ago and still have not received a refund. Very…

My hearing is approaching my eighth decade and my hearing isn't what it used to be. In particular, the dialogue coming out of the small speakers built into my flat screen was barely adequate. watching British shows where accents only complicate things. I researched soundbars over the course of a couple of years, but most were a bit larger than I wanted, and it wasn't clear how good they were with dialogue anyway. I saw an ad for AccuVoice in the WSJ and decided to give it a try as the whole…

This product worked for about 1 hour. It has been turned off and will not turn back on. Check out the 1 star reviews. The manufacturer always responds to one-star reviews to try to make the company seem like they care, but this is obviously a joke. In these responses to 1-star reviews, a ZVOX representative states that there is a known issue with defective units like mine that were manufactured within a known period of time. Here's a tip for you, ZVOX, REMIND THE KNOWN DEFECTIVE DEVICES. I…

On January 2, 2017 I ordered a Revain AccuVoice AV200 speaker. Received it in two weeks. It worked perfectly for about twenty minutes, then it started making loud popping and static noises. I turned it off briefly and checked all the connections to make sure I set it up correctly. Turned it back on and it worked fine - for 20-25 minutes until the popping and static came back. It went on like this for a few more times before finally packing it up to send it back. I contacted ZVOX directly, who…

It's been almost a month now, I was concerned about some people having outages but customer service assured me they had a bad batch of speakers that were being fixed. Good product! Does exactly what I wanted, I have a hard time separating speech from background noise - I can hear speech but can't understand the words. This article is great for that! It has 4 settings: -P1 normal -P2 voice boost a little -P3 surround sound -ACCU -full AccuVoice algorithms for hearing aids "P2 voice boost a…

Well, now you CAN buy a "soundbar" with better sound, but unfortunately it will only sound better at low frequencies. The ZVOX with AccuVoice technology is by far the BEST soundbar when it comes to listening to dialogue. Period. In the few weeks that I've had ZVOX, I can honestly say that I rarely (if ever) miss what the actors are saying in the movies. This also applies when background music is playing and the actors are whispering at the same time. Absolutely amazing sound! I used to not…

It seems more and more TV shows are using foreign stars who like to mumble - either that or I'm just getting older. After spending a year figuring out Jonny Lee Miller's version of Sherlock Holmes, Lie to Me, every Marvel movie ever made and constantly turning up the volume or using subtitles (which I hate since they're from the distract action), I finally came across this awesome box. Connecting to the optical output was easy (cable included!), and the remote control was very easy to figure…

I received this because I have mild to moderate hearing loss and can't hear the voice track well in background noise. I'm considering swapping for the ZVOX 203 which seems to offer some level of fine tuning for different hearing losses. Unfortunately, this device is not for sale and costs significantly more. Rumors are said to be extremely subjective, so it's difficult to really rate a product like this or "learn" from other people's comments. All you can do is read all the review comments and…
