## Overview

The ZVOX AV157 Sound Bar is a compact, 17-inch TV speaker featuring patented AccuVoice hearing aid technology with 12 levels of voice amplification. Powered by a 24-watt Class D digital amplifier and Dolby Digital decoding, it isolates dialogue from background noise for superior clarity. Designed for easy setup with a single wire and large-button remote, it includes smart output leveling and virtual surround sound modes, making it ideal for users seeking enhanced TV audio, especially those with hearing challenges.

## Description

At just seventeen (17) inches wide and ultra lightweight, our small sound bar can fit virtually anywhere! Our speaker bar takes up less space and is effortlessly moveable, making it an ideal TV speakers sound bar! This sound bar for TV uses proprietary digital algorithms that separate the voices from the rest of the soundtrack. Voices simply "jump out" of the soundtrack so you can hear them clearly. Our sounds bar seamlessly connects to your TV with just one (1) wire for ultra fast, super easy, and supremely convenient installation. Rest easy knowing all accessories needed for the setup of this TV soundbar are included. It’s so easy to use that it has a single-sheet owner’s manual! Great for all users but especially the elderly or those with hearing problems, our TV sound bars feature our patented AccuVoice hearing aid technology with six (6) levels of voice boost that effectively separates the voices from the background noise to make them clear and easy to understand. An additional six (6) stages of ZVOX's SuperVoice technology that takes dialogue clarity to another level by dramatically reducing non-vocal background sounds is also included! Say hello to the ultimate sound system for TV - Featuring three (3) 2" x 3" full-range speakers with neodymium magnets, upgrade your TV speaker with unmatched sound quality with our premium TV sound bar. With unique and advanced virtual subwoofer technology for great bass, you're sure to love our TV sound system. Our Output Leveling (OL) feature is a sophisticated processor that automatically makes soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer so there are fewer jarring moments when switching channels or when commercials come on. This system also helps by boosting the audio levels from a DVD or Blu-Ray player that are not loud enough. Plus, we include a brand new remote control that uses large buttons with easy-to-read labels.

Review: Superb Clarity of speech Soundbox well made packaged no other manufacturer approached including Bose could not guarantee better speech clarity with Bose over twice the price I was so pleased within 2hours two of my friends had bought one also own recommendation the clarity and choice is superb and put tv sound to shame having to rely on bounced sound off walls cmon tv manufacturers get to grips with a huge problem for the elderly the sound quality from Tv cannot compare with this soundbox I don’t have to rely on tv wordscript any more or keep returning backwards to catch what someone on tv has said . A great product Zvox worth every penny and so easy to handle after set up lots of serious brownie points here 👏🙏
Review: About 3 years ago I experienced auditory damage as a result of an MRI procedure, during which I was not given adequate ear protection. Since then, my hearing has been declining, and I found TV watching frustrating, because I missed so much, particularly during movies on Netflix. I bought a Bose Solo 5 soundbar, which has a simple on/off feature that enhances dialogue, and for a while, it helped. Then, that, too, lost its usefulness as my hearing worsened. Sometimes I'd have to back up several times on my DVR to catch a key word or phrase, and if that failed, I'd have to turn the volume up really high. It made me feel old, which I am not. Recently I saw the ZVOX soundbars advertised, read reviews of them on desertcart and also by independent review sites, and was greatly encouraged. The AV157 seemed to be the best suited for my needs, and $179 seemed like a fair price--certainly less expensive than hearing aids. I took down the Bose and set up the ZVOX last night. Out of the box, I was a bit skeptical, because the unit is so small-- about 2/3 the size of the Bose soundbar. But already, I can say without qualification that the ZVOX ties for first place, along with my Dyson Absolute stick vacuum cleaner, as the most useful and life-enhancing purchase I have made in a long time. I am a moderately technically savvy female, and had no difficulty setting it up, though it takes no particular skill. The directions are annoyingly on one huge, double sided piece of paper instead of a booklet, but they are written in good English and are easy to follow. The soundbar is essentially "plug and play." First, I attached the power cord and plugged it into an outlet. The Bose soundbar also had connected to the TV with an optical digital toslink, so initially, I didn't use the one provided by ZVOX. But I wasn't happy with the sound quality, and noticed that the cable on the ZVOX was about twice the thickness of the Bose cable. So I switched to the new one, and the improvement was amazing. When I disconnected the Bose cable, the sound reverted to the TV sound, and it sounded like a it was coming from the crystal radio I built with my dad as a 6th-grade science project. What a difference! (So if you have a non-ZVOX optical connector, don't use it.) I am pleased with the remote. It's simple and small, so there's less clutter. (The Bose came with a monstrous remote that controlled everything but the refrigerator, and I disliked it immensely.) As described, it has a few simple controls--for volume, mute, Accuvoice, Surround Sound, and Other (which is for adjusting treble and bass). Accuvoice has 6 levels of what I'll call "clarity of dialogue." To get the additional 6, you hold down the Accuvoice button for several seconds, and it switches over to "Super." I didn't find much difference between the first and second sets of functions, though, and settled on one (Accuvoice 5) that worked for me without being unpleasantly shrill. The crispness of dialogue seems to vary with the TV show or movie, and interestingly, did not degrade the quality of sound on the Music Choice stations. I am able to turn the volume down to "normal" volume, and can still understand every spoken word. The background sounds (and sometimes background music) are toned down, but is still there; it's just no longer distracting. I haven't tried the treble/bass adjustments, and frankly, don't have a need to do so, because I'm so happy with the current sound quality. So, although the description says there are 12 settings, when you add the three options for virtual Surround Sound, there really are 36 options! This feature is surprisingly good, and I am incredulous at the quality of sound that come out of a little 17" piece of technology. One other feature that I like is that the preset, default setting is that the soundbar turns off when the TV is turned off. (This can be changed, so that it can be turned off and on manually.) I like this better than the Bose, for which I had to turn the sound on and off separately. The thing I don't like, however, is that there's no indicator light on the unit that shows whether it's on or off. A package insert boldly states that if you're having difficulty with the unit, don't send it back, call ZVOX. But I have had no problems, so I cannot rate the quality of Tech Support. Overall, I could not be happier with this purchase. It makes me wish, though, that the ZVOX 157 had been available while my mother was still alive. She was severely hearing impaired, even wearing high-tech hearing aids, and it would have made her evenings of TV watching so much more enjoyable. One final note. I bought this soundbar 4 days ago (6/21/21). Tonight I recommended it to a neighbor, whose husband (in his late 70's) has such difficulty hearing that he watches all TV with subtitles on. When I looked on desertcart, the price had gone from $179 to $249, from the same seller and for no apparent reason. This is not OK, and I'm going to phone desertcart for an explanation.

It works great, my (90+ year old) grandparents can finally hear what people are saying again on tv. I will be recommending it to anyone that is struggling to hear what is being said on tv. I am so glad ZVOX have addressed this common issue.
