This sleek and unobtrusive device solves the age-old problem of unclear TV dialogue, especially for those with hearing challenges. Using advanced technology similar to that in hearing aids, it enhances voice clarity while maintaining the integrity of the overall sound. With 12 levels of dialogue clarification, the ZVOX AV355 AccuVoice Soundbar ensures voices are clear and precise, even with background noise.

At the heart of the AV355’s capabilities is its patented AccuVoice technology, which isolates voices from background noise, effectively lifting them out and sharpening the clarity of dialogue. Additionally, the Soundbar features SuperVoice technology, which identifies and intelligently reduces background sounds to further highlight voices. These technologies employ algorithms that elevate voice clarity without compromising the richness of the audio or soundtrack, resulting in a natural, balanced, and immersive viewing experience.

One of the standout features of the AV355 is its Output Leveling functionality, which smooths out sound levels and eliminates sudden loud volume fluctuations, such as those during commercial breaks. However, the AV355 offers more than just dialogue clarity. Zvox’s PhaseCue virtual surround technology and a virtual subwoofer deliver a deep, three-dimensional audio experience. Whether you’re watching a gripping drama like The Shawshank Redemption or The Godfather, or an action-packed movie like Mission: Impossible or Top Gun: Maverick, the AV355’s immersive sound quality adds depth and realism, making you feel like you’re in a movie theatre.

The ZVOX AV355 boasts a compact design that measures a mere 24 inches wide by 2.2  inches high and 3.5 inches deep and connects easily with any home entertainment setup. It can also be used wirelessly with your smartphone or tablet. It comes complete with a large button wireless remote for convenient control and supports both analog and digital inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of television models.

Let’s face it: The built-in speakers on today’s flat-screen TVs often provide subpar sound quality. For some of us, years of blasting Led Zeppelin might have taken a toll on our hearing. Regardless, if you want to enhance your TV viewing experience, the ZVOX AV355 AccuVoice Soundbar offers a compelling solution. Beyond its fancy tech features, this impressive little Soundbar focuses on clarity, immersion, and user-friendly design. Plus, it looks good.

With all the sound enhancement options available, the only initial challenge might be finding the best setting for you. But once you do, and in the words of infomercial king Ron Popeil, you can “set it and forget it” and say goodbye to missed dialogue.

The ZVOX AV355 AccuVoice Soundbar is available on Amazon for $269. It’s a worthy addition to any home entertainment arsenal. Find out more at ZVOX.com.

Budget-friendly sibling

If you’re looking for something more affordable, the ZVOX AV120 Bluetooth AccuVoice TV Speaker is worth considering. At only 15 inches wide, it’s a compact, low-profile streaming loudspeaker designed for casual listening rather than providing the deep, 3D immersive experience of a soundbar. The AV120 has fewer connection options but does have two levels of AccuVoice compared to 12 on the AV355, and can also be wall-mounted. It comes with a large button remote with standard audio controls and is priced at just $119 on Amazon.
