ZVOX – Review + Giveaway

We’ve been in the audio and video business a long time. In the early days, a stereo system was a pretty simple thing. But the advent of home theater surround sound systems — with DVD players, Dolby Digital®, DTS, powered subwoofers, dipole surrounds and center speakers — changed all that. The new “home theater in a box” systems are often simplified. But they also tend to sound more like a table radio or a boom box than a high-quality audio system. Our ZVOX single-cabinet surround sound systems provide the ultimate in simplicity — but still deliver incredible sound, for music or movies. They use very high quality speaker components, a terrific subwoofer, low-distortion amplifiers — and years of experience — to create accurate, lifelike sound…without complications.

One cabinet… One connecting wire… And a one-page owner’s manual!

Keep it simple, that’s what I love.  You can’t go wrong with simple, right?

ZVOX offers wonderful products to really enhance the sound quality in your TV and Computer.
No more messy cords and little speakers everywhere, ZVOX is one box with amazing and remarkable sound.

I received ZVOX Z-Base 550 to say I was amazed by the quality of the sound is an understatement.
The Z-Base 525 is a complete home theater all built into a platform designed for you to simply place a stand-mounted flat panel TV on top of it. One-wire hood-up, a single page owner’s manual, its great sounding technology without the hassle.  Simple to get set up, one cord just plug into your TV or your computer.  I also realized that you don’t need a flat screen to enjoy the sound quality from ZVOX.  You can use it for any TV but of course you can’t set your big TV on top of it.

Only 3.5″ high, the ZVOX Z-Base 550 home theater system can be placed beneath your flat-panel TV* — so you can have surround sound without adding a lot of clutter to your room. Created by legendary speaker designer Winslow Burhoe (founder of EPI Loudspeakers and Burhoe Acoustics), the 550 sounds absolutely terrific, reproducing music and movie soundtracks with lifelike accuracy. Voices are crystal clear. Bass from the built-in subwoofer is tight and solid. And the ZVOX PhaseCue virtual surround system delivers incredible three-dimensional sound. The entire system–speakers, amplifier, virtual surround technology and powered subwoofer–fits into the super-slim cabinet. The 550 is a true single-cabinet surround sound system. It doesn’t require anything else – no control console, no separate subwoofer cabinet, no other speakers, no speaker wires. With only one connecting cord and a one-page owner’s manual, it is truly “plug and play.” The cabinet is robustly constructed using fully-braced MDF (medium density fiberboard) — not plastic. Beautiful hand-lacquered high-gloss ebony end panels create a stylish look. Critics rave about the design and sound the Z-Base 550.

Most audio systems in our price category use very cheap speakers in plastic cabinets. But at ZVOX we’re “old school” about things like this. We use nothing but high quality speaker drivers, carefully designed by ZVOX engineers and manufactured to our specification. The 550 uses specially treated long-excursion main drivers. All speaker magnets are powerful Neodymium models that are magnetically shielded. The cabinet is MDF (medium density fiberboard), the same material uses in most high-end loudspeakers.

I love how compact the 550 is.  I love how easy it was to install, I was able to do it without any help from my husband :)   He was very surprised at how great the ZVOX Z-Base 550 sounded.  My dad was even amazed and quite jealous ;)
I love surround sound, although I really hate the mess of having all those speakers everywhere AND all the messy wires.  So tacky and unless you’re up in the attic to do it correctly it just looks bad.
With the ZVOX Z-Base 550 you don’t have to worry about any of that.
I am beyond 100% happy with the ZVOX Z-Base 550.
