ZVOX 555 Sound System

ZVOX 555 Low-Profile Single-Cabinet Surround Sound System with Optical and Coaxial Digital Inputs

Product Description

Only 3.5″ high, the ZVOX 555 home theater system can be placed beneath your flat-panel TV so you can have surround sound without adding a lot of clutter to your room. It requires no external speakers, subwoofer or speaker wires. The ZVOX 555 reproduces TV shows, music and movie soundtracks with lifelike accuracy, including crystal-clear vocals and thunderous bass. And the ZVOX PhaseCue virtual surround system delivers remarkable three-dimensional sound. The entire sound bar system, including speakers, amplifier, virtual surround technology and powered subwoofer, fits into the super-slim cabinet. With only one connecting cord and a one-page owner’s manual, it is truly “plug and play.” The cabinet is robustly constructed using fully-braced MDF (medium density fiberboard), not molded plastic. Beautiful hand-lacquered high-gloss ebony end panels create a stylish look.

Excellent speaker system, if Home Theater sound not required, August 27, 2011 – By cbuckh32

This is an excellent speaker solution, suitable for small-to-medium sized flat screen TV’s. This product purchase has only been in use a little over 2 weeks, but this is the second ZVOX speaker unit that I have purchased. The ZVOX 555 has new, additional features not available on the older models. The most significant improvement is the LED (?) display that shows the volume level and other speaker settings in response to user input with the remote control. There are also differences in sound processing options. See the Mfr’s web site for additional information on features and product comparison details.

ZVOX makes no claim on this product being equivalent to Home Theater sound systems. What the ZVOX555 does do is provide a speaker system with Mfr-independent (non-proprietary) audio input connections, sound output superior to built-in flat-screen TV speakers, and a 3 – 1/2 inch riser for your existing TV set up. I happened to have been looking for a way to build a riser on my oak TV stands so this latter benefit was a positive for me. This speaker eliminates the need to spend more money on a Home Theater system with their all-too common proprietary audio input connections, their extra satellite speakers and associated wiring.

Another nice design feature is that the ZVOX555 can be ‘programmed’ to work with or is compatible with other remotes. For example, my FIOS remote is set up to control the volume level.

I now have two (2) ZVOX products (550HSD and 555). They work well aesthetically, with a 42″ Plasma and 37 LED TV’s placed on top of them.

Very happy customer, July 29, 2011 – By Old Man

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. The whole concept of placing your TV on the sound source to reduce clutter was very hard to part with. I bought another system I soon learned to hate, so when the 555 became available, I dumped my current sound system in a trash bin. Every claim in your ad has been verified, and yes, the dialog emphasis has made a big difference in the ability to understand words. Being old and cheap, it hurt to throw away a sound system with a big name to say nothing of the money involved, but I’ve been happy every day since.

I rarely write love letters to companies. Yours has been a pleasure to deal with, so if you would like to use this note in advertising, feel free.
