The AV120 is the cheapest way into ZVOX's AccuVoice processing, and at the current $49.99 price it is the lowest-cost speaker on this list. ZVOX gives it two levels of AccuVoice dialogue enhancement, which is enough for viewers who find TV speech a little muddy rather than lost. Unlike the AV157, it adds Bluetooth, so the same bar can play music or radio from a phone. Setup is a single cable to the TV's analog or digital audio output, with cables and a remote in the box. The trade-off is control: two boost levels is a big step down from 12 or 20, and ZVOX does not list output leveling for this model, so loud ads still come through loud. Treat it as a starter or a second-room speaker. With the 60-day home trial, it is also a cheap way to test if voice boost helps before spending more.
