About this item
- CUTTING-EDGE FEATURES: The SB380 Soundbar provides both quality and style. It has a disappearing display feature that shows the current volume, bass, treble, mute, and PhaseCue (virtual surround) settings. This device also has an output leveling feature to tame loud commercials easily.
- ACCUVOICE TECHNOLOGY: AccuVoice is a patented technology that extracts voices from soundtracks and improves their clarity and understanding. AccuVoice technology works the same way as hearing aid technology but with a much more sophisticated processor capable of subtle sound manipulation.
- SIX LEVELS OF VOICE BOOST: The SB380 Soundbar uses our patented hearing aid technology to provide six levels of voice enhancement. Each new level emphasizes the dialogue while minimizing the non-vocal elements of the soundtrack. Even at extremely low volumes, voices are clear and easy to understand.
- WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE:The SB380's sleek 3.3" aluminum cabinet houses high-performance speakers, a digital amplifier, a ZVOX PhaseCue virtual surround system, and a built-in powered subwoofer for excellent bass, along with all necessary cables and accessories you will need, like an optic cable, an analog connecting cable, a remote control, and a quick start guide.
- SUPER EASY SET UP: Our SB380 Soundbar is compatible with almost all television brands and models as long as your television has an audio output. You can wall mount it, place it in front of the TV, or place it on a shelf. It functions without the use of wi-fi, phone apps, or pairing. Simply connect the speaker to your TV, go to the TV's on-screen settings and select the external speaker sound option.

Product Description
You don't have to choose between a great product and a great value - with the SB380, you get both.
Inside the SB380's sleek 3.3" aluminum cabinet you'll find high performance speakers, a digital amplifier, ZVOX PhaseCue virtual surround system, and a built-in powered subwoofer. The SB380 looks great and sounds great – and it's simple to use. And the value, for what you get, is just unbeatable.
AccuVoice Technology For Clear Dialogue
ZVOX's proprietary AccuVoice technology lifts voices out of the soundtrack and then modifies them using hearing aid technology. AccuVoice creates stronger dialogue emphasis, while minimizing the non-vocal parts of the soundtrack. The results are remarkable. Voices are clear and easy to understand, even at extremely low volumes. You'll hear every word, even on poorly mixed programs or British programs. CNET says "Great for folks who have trouble hearing the TV."

Wall Mount It. Put It in Front of the TV. Put It on a Shelf. Your Choice.The SB380 gives you choices. You can wall-mount it below your TV, using the hanger-slots built into the back panel. Or you can place it upright on furniture below, or above your TV. Or you can place it "on its back" in a low-profile horizontal position right in front of your TV. |
Say Goodbye to Loud CommercialsIf you've ever been blasted out of your chair by a too-loud commercial - you'll love our Output Leveling (OL) feature. Just push the OL button and a sophisticated processor takes over, making 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. |
Disappearing DisplayThe SB380 features a four-digit display located behind the speaker grille that shows the current setting for volume, bass, treble and PhaseCue (virtual surround) - and also shows when you have engaged the Mute, Output Leveling (OL) or AccuVoice (ACCU) features. A few seconds after you stop using your remote (or front panel) controls, the display disappears completely. |
PhaseCue Virtual Surround Sound
ZVOX's proprietary PhaseCue virtual surround processing gives you rich, three-dimensional sound with movies or music. Sound & Vision magazine calls it "remarkably ingenious".

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The first evening with AC set to one, Sound leveling Off, and Surround set to 1 (we never changed the surround level), We barely touched the volume, but she did mention how some things were loud - So I turned on the sound leveling, which definitely impacts the 'theater quality' and bumped the AC to level 2. My Brother came over and he too immediately noticed the difference, commenting that is sounded clear and much better than the old sound bar. Yet there where still a few times we played with the volume so I bumped the AC to level 3. and this is where it was when I left. This soundbar has 6 levels for accuvoice, Zvox makes soundbars with just AC on or off... I wonder what level the is equivalent to? In the end we watched TV with the sound on '11' which was *maybe* one level higher than I would have listened, certainly not as loud as my Mom used to listen at, and with her hearing more of the content.
The remote was quite a bit nicer than I expected, but Mom won't be needing it as the soundbar can learn your TVs Power, Volume up, Volume down, and Mute and respond to them. This is one spot where the documentation fails slightly - For one thing the directions for setting this up are not included I had to download them... Oh and a side note, they brag about the one page of directions - yes they are one page, one very large page printed on both sides and folded six times (yeah, marketing people) - Anyhow back to the programming the sound bar to respond to your TV - you need to download the directions from there website. and then the directions won't work, it simply will not enter 'learning' mode. Well the missing detail from the direction is the sound bar must be OFF at the beginning of the setup. It didn't take me long to figure that out, but it should have been clearly stated. (I did try it a few times using first the remote then the physical buttons before discovering it needed to be OFF first - at which point the remote or the physical buttons worked)
So in short - super happy - it sounds great, it does sound better with the AC lower and the sound leveling off, but it still sounds great as i configured it for my mom - and that was the whole point. Does my mom hear every word now? no - But we can watch tv quieter than we used to, and we adjust the volume significantly less then before (like 90% less)
We are thinking of getting this sound bar for my mother-in-law as well. And I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for anyone that is looking at getting a sound bar in general. Personally, I have a Marantz AV receiver and lots of speakers - but for a sound bar this thing sounds great - and better than the $150ish sound bar we got from the big box store.
BTW I purchased https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DW1XOCY/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_F84cEb6F6FJF8 to mount it under my moms TV
I did some quick research and this looked like what we needed as I didn’t want a separate subwoofer in the bedroom. I ordered it and it arrived quickly. Unfortunately the first one I received was dead on arrival. :-( So I contacted Amazon and for the first time in dealing with them, they were not helpful at all and told me that they would contact the seller since it was third party and call me the next day. They never called me back so I contacted ZVOX who is the seller and they arranged a replacement to be shipped out to me. If I had known it’d take five days to get the new speaker, I would have requested to return the item for a refund and reordered from Amazon for the two-day shipping.
Set up
Once the replacement speaker arrived I quickly hooked it up hoping we didn’t receive another dud. It is so simple to hook up, you can just use the supplied optical audio cable or RCA stereo cable. We used the optical for the superior performance, going from the TV to the sound bar OPT 1 (it has two optical in ports) and plugged in the power. The speaker lights up this time which put a smile on my face.
We didn’t want the TV speakers to be on now so I went into the TV settings and turned the internal speakers off. Then followed the short instruction list of features and settings. After putting the supplied batteries in the remote I went through the various settings until settling on the Accuvoice and Output Leveling. The thing I didn’t know about was that the sound bar can learn your remote and you don’t need the sound bar remote unless you want to change sound settings. So in less than five minutes I had the TCL remote controlling the sound bar. The sound bar turns on and off with the TV and I can turn the volume up and down plus mute. That is all I really need. Now my wife is happy since there is no complication to just using the TV. It even has settings for placing it facing up, sitting on a shelf facing toward the listening area or mounted on the wall to enhance the sound of each set up.
Sound
The ZVOX SB380 sounds great, especially compared to the built in TV speakers. The voices are clear and legible and we no longer have to turn it up and down constantly. It won’t replace a real surround setup, but that is not what it was made for. There is plenty of low end for a bedroom, but you will need a separate subwoofer if you really want big bass. We love this thing for it’s simple setup and design.
