ZVOX's AV355 Sound Bar is the ultimate game-changer you need right now

If there’s any chance you have never experienced a sound bar in your life - now is the perfect time to go with your gut feeling and my co-sign to seriously consider getting your hands on ZVOX’s AV355 sound bar. It’s the ultimate life-changer and game-changer for your TV viewing, game-playing and streaming music-listening experiences all from your screen.

With fingers crossed and hopes high to get to review this beautiful unit in the near future, what I can say is having had the chance to review and to this day own a ZVOX Accuvoice sound bar in my household since 2019, it’s been the ultimate game-changer.

The sound quality is wild and even if you pride yourself in having razor-sharp earbuds, the clarity and different levels of what you’re hearing - you know, those fancy settings - play out in such an amazing way you’ll cringe at the idea of not using your sound bar for everything coming out of your TV. Now… with all of those tidbits being mentioned, let’s crack right into the new AV355 sound bar.

ZVOX, the industry leader in dialogue clarification technology, has introduced a freshly designed ultra-slim sound bar, the AV355. This low-profile speaker is the latest in ZVOX’s best-selling line of AccuVoice® TV speakers. The sound bar offers six levels of the company’s patented hearing aid technology that lifts voices out from the rest of the soundtrack, as well as six levels of its new SuperVoice technology, which “softens” background sounds, so they don’t interfere with voice intelligibility. Unlike competing products, the ZVOX algorithms boost and clarify voices without any significant volume or tonal change to other parts of the soundtrack. The AV355 is available now at ZVOX.com Amazon.com and Walmart.com for $199.99.

The AV355 includes both digital and analog input options so it works with virtually any TV. The big, immersive sound is generated by three high-performance speakers with powerful neodymium magnets, along with a “virtual subwoofer” technology for extra bass. It also includes another ZVOX signature innovation, its Output Leveling feature that tames loud commercials instantly. The speaker has voice assistant compatibility so users can connect it with Amazon® Echo® products. Finally, ZVOX’s PhaseCue® virtual surround technology delivers the room-filling 3D sound from this compact sound bar cabinet measuring 24” w x 2.2” h x 3.5” d. The AV355 is housed in a sleek, black molded cabinet with a colored steel grille available in black, bronze or graphite. 

The AV355 is purpose-designed to merge seamlessly and effortlessly with a user’s current home entertainment system. For total user convenience, it can easily be programmed to work with any remote control. The inconspicuous yet elegant molded cabinet is strong and light, with a large, easy-to-read display that makes set-up and control a snap. And at just 24" wide and 2.2” high, the AV355 fits about anywhere and is easy to install either above, below, or next to any flatscreen TV.

Noted ZVOX CEO Tom Hannaher. “Our proprietary AccuVoice technology is the ‘gold standard’ for clear voice reproduction. We have implemented a number of techniques used in the world of audiology to make dialogue easy to understand, even at low volumes. But the AV355 also excels with music and big movie soundtracks. The neodymium speakers create big, high-fidelity sound including surprising bass out of a slim, stylish cabinet that fits underneath most TVs.”
