Verdict

The Vizio SB3620n-H6 is a 36-inch, 2.0-channel soundbar designed for an immersive yet compact home theatre experience. It features two full-range drivers delivering up to 91dB of sound pressure with a frequency response of 60Hz – 20kHz, supported by DTS Virtual:X and DTS TruVolume for virtualised 3D audio. Major pros include its low-profile design that fits under most TVs, versatile connectivity via Bluetooth, Optical, and 3.5mm AUX, and the inclusion of all necessary cables for an easy setup. However, it lacks HDMI ARC/eARC connectivity and a dedicated subwoofer, which can result in limited bass performance and occasionally muddy audio in certain music or dialogue modes.
