Apple

I have a Vizio M-Series TV and recently upgraded to the Vizio M-Series 5.1.2 soundbar. I was stoked because using CEC would mean I could control the volume with the Remote App on my iPhone. However I couldn’t seem to keep the Apple TV Remote connected and customer support suggested I switch to infrared control which removes all the modern features. Customer Service from both Vizio and Apple can’t figure it out.

I say all this to vent a little, but I really just want to know what modern soundbars you are using? Here are my criteria:

1. Use my Apple TV Remote;
2. Connect via CEC so that I can control volume with my phone;
3. Great sound (although I’m not an audiophile so it probably doesn’t need to be the best.);
4. Ideally it doesn’t have rear speakers, but a sub is okay;

Thank you in advance to anyone who reads and responds.
