Third-party reviews

What customers like about ZVOX AccuVoice AV100

  • Dialogue enhancement makes speech easier to follow.
  • Auto volume leveling evens out sudden jumps between quiet and loud scenes.
  • It suits viewers with hearing loss.
  • The compact size makes it easy to take on trips.
  • Bluetooth lets you play audio from a phone.
  • An optical input connects it to a TV.

What customers don't like about ZVOX AccuVoice AV100

  • Very little bass, and it drops off quickly around 100 Hz.
  • It has no HDMI ports, so it connects through the optical input.
  • HDMI-CEC is missing, so the TV remote cannot control it.
  • No subwoofer is included, so the low end stays thin.
  • The narrow slanted top cannot hold a tablet.

Verdict

Quiet speech is the reason to look at the ZVOX AccuVoice AV100, a soundbar for people who struggle to follow the TV. Its dialogue enhancement pulls voices forward, and auto volume leveling evens out the jump between a quiet drama and a loud advert. In reviews, speech came through more clearly than from most TV speakers, and the unit is compact enough to pack for a trip. The trade-off is bass. There is very little of it, and it drops off quickly around 100 Hz, so action films will sound thin. It has no HDMI ports, and it lacks HDMI-CEC, so the TV remote will not control it. It suits a buyer who watches mostly news, talk and drama, and wants the words clear above all else.
