Amazing! by T. Weaver on amazon.com Jun 20, 2012
A month ago, didn't know what a sound bar was, never heard of them. Went to the big box store to give them a listen. Only one was hooked up, it sounded terrible. The guy didn't know how to hook up the other models so I walked out. Anyway, ordered ...
 
Is it worth the extra $100 for the 555 vs. the 420? by S. Pohorecki on amazon.com May 30, 2012
Having owned both units I believe the 555 creates a much smoother and enjoyable listening experience. The Bass is very good on both units but with much better control on the 555, and the speakers (unlike the 420) are natural sounding. I contribute the ...
 
I Can Hear Dialogue Again! by Bob Q. on amazon.com May 23, 2012
I recently purchased an LG 47" television from Amazon. The sound was adequate but not great and, having a hearing problem to start with, I found myself saying, "what did they say?" quite a bit during a movie. With this unit and its dialogue enhancement ...

Not 5.1 but a Great Sound System by Diana M on amazon.com Jun 16, 2012
I purchased this sound system unheard based on other reviews. Initial hookup was unbelieveably easy as others have said. The first thing I did was replay a movie I knew I had trouble understanding the dialog on. All dialog was easily understandable. ...
 
Love it but auto off is annoying (Edit: Auto off can be adjusted after all!) by Lena on amazon.com May 7, 2012
I agree with all the wonderful things everyone else said and would highly recommend ZVOX 555- great clarity, etc. etc. The only thing I don't like is the auto off feature. It turns off automatically if no sound goes through it after 5 minutes. I record ...

I was expecting a better sounding unit by Dans270 "Dan" on amazon.com Apr 14, 2012
After studying many sound bars and reading the reviews on them I chose the ZVOX 555. It was highly recommended by a lot of folks. I was warned through the reviews not to expected a mind blowing system but a great little system for it's size and money. ...
 
I had to upgrade by Jeffrey Cunningham on amazon.com Aug 1, 2011
I ordered the 555 directly from Zvox. The first one I received was damaged. The sub woofer grille was disconnected from the unit and the center channel speaker was not working. Zvox service was great. They issued a replacement right away. I sent it back ...
 
Quit working after 3 days by Wei Lor "Amazon Man" on amazon.com Mar 21, 2012
This is sad because after reading all the great reviews, I wanted to like ZVOX 555 so much, but it QUIT working just after 3 days. When I set it up, I also tried to program the remote control per the instruction for my SHARP LED-LCD TV, that did not ...

After ordering and trying a ZVOX 550, I reluctantly had to return it because the control factors (volume, quality, connection) were nowhere near as good as the sound...Overall I am very pleased with this purchase...I now remind myself that better is the enemy of good and there is a law of rapidly diminishing returns when spending money on AV equipment...
